50 Most Exciting Upcoming Comic Book Movies - Ranked
20. The Sinister Six
Status: Not cancelled yet Due: Who knows, but the Nov 11th 2016 release date remains unmolested. Key Players: Drew Goddard was initially intended to write and direct, with the villains introduced in The Amazing Spider-Man coming back together, including Paul Giamatti, Dane DeHaan and maybe Jamie Foxx. Who know where they stand now with a new Spider-Man incoming. Whats It About: The super villains team up - probably to come up with some nefarious plan to take down Spider-Man, though the original plan supposedly didnt include the web-slinger as a main player. It was to be a team up movie, but who knows how much of the plan remains. Why We Should Care: If Suicide Squad does well therell be a greater thirst for darker comic book movie properties, and while the new series will no doubt include new characters, theres no reason why the ensemble cant still get together.
19. Black Panther
Status: Announced Due: Feb 16th 2018 Key Players: Marvel might have struggled to find a director, but Chadwick Boseman will return as The Black Panther after his debut in Civil War and its likely Andy Serkis will also reprise his role as Ulysses Klaue. Whats It About: Having come to America to deal with his fathers murderer, TChalla will probably return to Wakanda to deal with his countrys other big menace - Klaue and his thirst for Vibranium. Why We Should Care: Aside from the obviously positive injection of diversity, Black Panther is a game-changer in terms of what he offers as a character. He offers an opportunity for an entirely different genre within the comic book movie medium (just as Ant-Man added comedy and heists). Plus, seeing more of Andy Serkis Klaue is a great thing.
