Writers: Eric Pearson Story by Craig Kyle, Christopher Yost, and Stephany FolsomĬast: Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Idris Elba, Jeff Goldblum, Tessa Thompson, Karl Urban, Anthony Hopkins, and Mark Ruffalo The studios are already bullish on the new Spidey franchise with a sequel already slated for release in 2019, so hopes are high for Spider-Man: Homecoming. As for the villain, Michael Keaton fills the role of the Vulture. We also know that Tom Holland is joined onscreen by Robert Downey Jr., whose Tony Stark continues to serve as a mentor of sorts for the burgeoning superhero.

We know the film will focus on Parker being a high school student, with a strong John Hughes vibe permeating throughout. As such, the film will fit into the MCU as a whole while bringing a refreshingly new Peter Parker story to life. What We Know So Far: This new Spider-Man reboot is a co-production between Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios, with Marvel taking the creative lead. Goldstein & John Francis Daley, Jon Watts, Christopher Ford, Chris McKenna, and Erik SommersĬast: Tom Holland, Robert Downey Jr., Marisa Tomei, Michael Keaton, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Bokeem Woodbine, Jon Favreau, and Donald Glover The film reportedly does not have major connective tissue to the rest of the MCU, like the appearance of Thanos in the first film, and thus is expected to be a rather self-contained story. The film also introduces Pom Klementieff as Mantis, a new member of the Guardians with empathic powers, while Elizabeth Debicki takes on the villainous role of Ayesha, the golden High Priestess. His dad, it turns out, is Ego the Living Planet, a being who is literally a planet with the ability to take on humanlike form. However, we do know that the story involves Peter Quill learning more about his true parentage, with Kurt Russell filling the role of his father. 2’s biggest secrets are still under wraps. What We Know So Far: Quite possibly the most anticipated sequel of the year, Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. Further details on Logan have been kept firmly under wraps, but this promises to be a very different spin on your typical superhero movie.Ĭast: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Karen Gillan, Elizabeth Debicki, Pom Klementieff, Michael Rooker, Sean Gunn, Glenn Close, and Kurt Russell They team up with a young girl who appears to have a similar mutation to Logan’s (X-23, played by Dafne Keen), and navigate a post-apocalyptic wasteland while squaring off against Donald Pierce ( Boyd Holbrook), a character who in the comics was the leader of a band of dangerous folks named the Reavers. The Wolverine director James Mangold returns with a purely R-rated film that he describes as being specifically “for grownups.” We pick up way into the future as Logan’s healing powers are waning and Patrick Stewart’s Professor X is deathly ill.

What We Know So Far: The third standalone Wolverine movie is poised to be Hugh Jackman’s final performance as the character, and he’s going out with a bang. Grant, Stephen Merchant, and Eriq La Salle Writers: James Mangold, Michael Green, and Scott FrankĬast: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Dafne Keen, Boyd Holbrook, Richard E. Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the writers/directors of The LEGO Movie, are still involved in The LEGO Batman Movie as producers, so this film promises to keep the DNA of what made that film work while branching out specifically into superhero territory. Zach Galifianakis voices The Joker, Michael Cera is Robin, and a host of villains-both famous and obscure-are poised to make appearances. Will Arnett returns to voice Batman, and the film aims to at once tackle the entire Batman canon with self-referential comedy while also offering up a unique take on the Batman movie, focusing on the abject loneliness of the titular character.

What We Know So Far: This is the first spinoff film from the wildly successful The LEGO Movie, and it marks the solo feature directorial debut of Chris McKay, who served as co-director on The LEGO Movie and previously helmed episodes of Robot Chicken. Cast: Will Arnett, Zach Galifianakis, Michael Cera, Rosario Dawson, Ralph Fiennes, Mariah Carey, and Jenny Slate
