50 Most Exciting Upcoming Comic Book Movies - Ranked
Quite literally super.
Whoever said the comic book movie bubble was about to burst got their assessment completely wrong. Incredibly, there are far more than 50 comic book adaptations currently in various stages of planning and development, and it seems likely that more will be announced in the next couple of years, with Marvel, Sony, Fox and DC all looking at expanded universes of some sort. It's a great time to be alive for comic book movie fans, but that many movies in a matter of four or five years is a daunting prospect, and planning and precedence are both key steps in the process of arranging our excitement levels. Luckily, there's a spectrum you can all adhere to based on the promise of each individual movie. In the interest of not stretching too thin on certain franchises, this run-down lumps optimistically optioned sequels in with as unyet released films. Obviously, some films are simply too much in the grey area to be included: there is a rumour the female-centric spin-off of The Amazing Spider-Man starring Black Cat might not be dead, but it seems only to exist because of a lack of firm confirmation. And of course there's the question of a new Blade, which Wesley Snipes seems to think is happening without any word of confirmation. And pretty much all of Mark Millar's comics are in some way under consideration for adaptation. So let's call them all hopeful possibilities at this stage and leave them aside for now. But which films make it...?
