50 Most Exciting Upcoming Comic Book Movies - Ranked

1. Guardians Of The Galaxy Volume 2

Status: Confirmed Due: April 28th 2017 Key Players:: All of the Guardians return - Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper - and James Gunn is in charge again. Karen Gillan, Benicio Del Toro and Michael Rooker are all also back in their supporting roles, while Pom Klementieff has been added. What€™s It About: With the cast returning, and promises of further investigation into the Infinity Stones (the Collector still has one, remember) as well as the answer to Starlord€™s paternity test there€™s a lot to be excited about. Why We Should Care: With an astonishing wealth of riches available to comic book movie fans, picking a winner in the excitement stakes might seem a little like choosing the best diamond, but there€™s undoubtedly a winner. Thanks to the disarming success of the first Guardians, built on James Gunn€™s sci-fi fandom and commitment to a beautifully retro but brilliantly funny tone, a sequel was inevitable. And just as inevitable is the hype, which hopefully won€™t force the sequel off the road. With all of the components returning (aside from Ronan The Accuser), we should be set for a worthy follow up as long as Marvel don€™t pressurise Gunn too much into making a surrogate Planet Hulk. Which of these comic book movies are you most excited about? Share your favourites below in the comments thread.
