50 Most Exciting Upcoming Comic Book Movies - Ranked
16. Ant-Man & The Wasp
Status: Confirmed Due: July 6th 2018Key Players: Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lily are back, Michael Douglas might be and Peyton Reed should direct again. Whats It About: Following on from the first film, Scott Lang will continue to grow into his role as a superhero (now with Avengers backing), Hank Pym will presumably explore the chance to rescue his long lost wife from the Quantum Realm and Hope Van Dyne will grow into her costume as wasp. Why We Should Care: No matter how annoyed everyone was when Edgar Wright left the project, Ant-Man was brilliant. It was funny, charming and well-staged, and Paul Rudds charisma put him on parr with Chris Pratts in terms of genius casting decisions. Seeing more of The Wasp in a shared leading role is an even greater addition, given the pairs chemistry and the chance to follow the rabbit hole into the Quantum Realm is both brave and scary. Which is precisely what makes it so exciting.
15. Wonder Woman
Status: Announced Due: June 23rd 2017 Key Players: Patty Jenkins will direct and of course Gal Gadot returns as Wonder Woman after debuting in Justice League. Shes joined by Chris Pine as Steve Trevor and Nicole Kidman is rumoured to be playing her mother. Whats It About: Rumoured to be set over three time periods (including World War I), Wonder Woman will offer an origin for DCs most famous Amazonian princess. Why We Should Care: Well, its about time someone made a good female-centric superhero movie and used the great source material to give Wonder Woman the screen treatment she deserves. And anything that breaks the Superman/Batman duopoly is a good thing.
