Avengers: Endgame (2019, Joe & Anthony Russo)  is out in cinemas and is breaking every Box Office Record in sight! Opening at $1.2 Billion in its first weekend! That's insane! But the movie also marks the final chapter in a long-running saga that has spanned 11 years. And now with that chapter has closed it's time to look at where the MCU is headed next. Marvel Studios has plenty of movies planned post- Endgame . With several franchises continuing or wrapping up and whole franchises like The Eternals and Shang-Chi  that have been announced and will start off whole new franchises. So in this post, I will be looking into 5 things I think Marvel should focus on going forward. The 5-year Gap The first thing I want to talk about is the 5-year gap for all of those who were brought back from Thanos' snap. They all seemed to come back the same age that they died and are now part of a world that has had to adjust to a lower population. The two characters I expect to be ...

2018 was a huge year for Superhero movies. With game-changing movies such as Avengers: Infinity War (2018, Joe & Anthony Russo)  breaking box office records, Sony having a surprise success with their Spider-Man properties and DC showing they're still in the game with Aquaman (2018, James Wan) . And now 2019 brings a whole new slate of movies. From Meta-reflections of the genre to major storylines coming to an end. And even some studios taking risks with their properties, which is pretty good! So here is the list of Superhero movies coming out. Ranked from what I am least excited for to what I'm most excited for. 9. Glass The first movie on this list that's scheduled to come out this year is M. Night Shyamalan's long-awaited follow-up to his cult hit Unbreakable (2000) . After Split (2016)  turned out to be a backdoor sequel to Unbreakable  fans have been awaiting the release of Glass . Bruce Willis (Die Hard, the 6th Sense) and Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fict...

Arguably one of the most recognised superheroes about right now. Deadpool returns for his highly anticipated sequel. After hitting it big with Deadpool (2016, Tim Miller)  which became the highest grossing R-rated film of all time this sequel has a lot of expectations to live up to. With introducing new characters like Cable (Josh Brolin)  and Domino (Zazie Beetz)  and replacing director Tim Miller (Rockfish, Aunt Luisa)  with David Leitch (John Wick, Atomic Blonde) . It'll be interesting to see how this film differs from it's predecessor. First Thoughts This film is hilarious! It has great humour, great action and great characters. A serious improvement from the first film! But the film isn't just gags and action. It also has a lot of heart to it. Emotional moments are not sacrificed for cheap gags. Which I was very happy to see! However, this film is not without its flaws. The story isn't exactly original, which can hurt the film a bit. But overall, this is...

And so the Superhero Genre continues with another year of films! 2017 saw Marvel continue in great success with some of its big franchises, such as Guardians Of The Galaxy and Thor: Ragnarok and DC saw great success with Wonder Woman and unfortunate problems with Justice League. But next year sees the genre grow even bigger! With both new heroes, continuations of heroes and some Ani-Heroes joining the field! 10. New Mutants (April 13th) The only reason that this film is at the bottom of my list is that, whilst I was interested in the Trailer, I was not impressed by it. However, I do appreciate experimentation in cinema. And this is definitely quite a new take on the Superhero genre. By adding a horror element to the mix. New Mutants  centres around a group of mutants inside a secret facility and coming to terms with their abilities. Maisie Williams (Game Of Thrones, iBoy)  and Charlie Heaton (Stranger Things, Shut In) . It looks interesting and I'm sure it'll stand ...

  Yesterday, it was revealed that the Murdoch brothers, Heads of Fox, have been having talks with Bob Iger, Head of Disney, to sell a vast majority of their company to the Mouse House. Whilst the Murdochs will still have their Sport and News Networks it give up its entertainment division to Disney. Meaning they would have control of the Avatar franchise, they will own all aspects of the Star Wars brand and, what fans are most excited about, Fox's Marvel films. Now, there are a fair few positives and negatives to this story, should it actually happen. Which we'll be discussing right now. Marvel In the early 2000's Marvel went bankrupt and so had to sell the movie rights of most of their iconic characters to various film studios. In this deal, Fox got the rights to the X-Men, Fantastic Four and The Defenders. Now, whilst Marvel/Disney has since then regained the rights to The Defenders, which are now on Netflix, they still have yet to gain the rights to X-Men and Fa...
