15 Upcoming Superhero Movies For The Year 2022-2024
These upcoming superhero movies are going to fill your coming months with adventure and thrill!
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – November 11, 2022
The first black panther movie had a killer soundtrack and one hell of an artist, Chadwick Boseman. However, his unexpected passing away in 2020 was heart-breaking and felt as a great loss to the film industry, and to the Marvel universe. After this, the studio decided not to recast anyone for his iconic role of T’Challa. Wakanda Forever’s trailer beautifully paid tribute to Boseman and we can see how the movie is going to shape itself in a post T’Challa world. Nearly all of the main characters from the last one are going to be in it, including Letitia Wright as Shuri, Lupita Nyong’o as Nakia, Danai Gurira as Okye and Winston Duke as M’Baku. And we’ll see some new faces too like Michaela Coel as Aneka, Tenoch Huerta as Namor, and Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams/ Ironheart.
In Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, people of Wakanda will try to save their nation against intervening world powers. It’ll be interesting to see how the movie will pan out without King T’Challa.
Ant-Man And The Wasp – February 17, 2023
A week ago, Marvel studios released the trailer of the much-awaited movie Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. Scott Lang’s Ant-Man is the tiniest superhero yet the most important character who played a key role in defeating Thanos in Endgame. The movie will also officially kick start phase 5 of the Marvel cinematic universe.
In the third film, Scott lang (Paul Rudd) and Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) will continue on a new adventure as Ant-Man and the Wasp and will be joined by Hope’s parents Hank Pym (Micheal Douglas) and Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer). Jimmy Woo (Randall Park) and Scott Lang’s daughter Cassie (Kathryn Newton “Freaky”) will also join the team on their adventure into the Quantum Real. In addition to this, we’ll see Jhonathan Majors playing Kang the Conqueror, who first appeared in Loki. A strange creature called MODOK, who is basically a giant head with tiny limbs, is also debuting with this one. Wow, it’s gonna be adventurous for sure!
Shazam! Fury Of The Gods – March 17, 2023
Shazam turned out to be a major win for Warner Bros. Now Director David F. Sandberg is back with second the installment Shazam – Fury Of The Gods along with the main leads of the previous movie. The new line will continue with the story of teenager Billy Batson who can transform himself into his adult superhero alter-ego Shazam by calling out the word SHAZAM.
We’ll see Zachary Levi returning as Shazam and Asher Angle as the young Billy Baston along with his foster siblings, who will also be granted powers like him. This time it looks like the stakes are a little high. We’ll see them pitted against Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu as the sister villain named Hespera and Kalyspo. They are the daughters of atlas and who will be joined by Rachel Zegler as the third sister. As shown in the trailer, the sisters look quite pissed at the fact that the kids stole the power of Gods. Can we Shazam to the movie theater already?
Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.3 – May 5, 2023
Are you ready for some space adventure with the guardians? The film, which was set to start production in 2019, was put on hold due to firing of the film’s director James Gunn. Apparently, his tweets of ‘bad jokes’ resurfaced, which caused quite a stir. Well, looks like James is back to re-direct the movie.
Nevertheless, James has confirmed this will be the last time we’ll see the guardians together. We’ll get to see the original characters back saving the universe again for the last time including Star-lord(Chris Pratt), Rocket Raccoon (Vin Diesel), Groot (Vin diesel), Drax (Dave Bautista), Nebula (Karen Gillan), Mantis (Pom Klementieff), and surprise – surprise Gamora (Zoe Saldana). Although we’ll see Star-lord mourning the death of Gamora, but, Gamora this time will be from 2014 who hasn’t developed feelings for him yet. In addition to this, we’ll get to see the backstory of Rocket and what left him traumatized. Along with this, some interesting appearances and new villains are in the line too. We are definitely excited for this one, aren’t you?
Spiderman- Across The Verse – June 2, 2023
After the success of Oscar-winning animated movie Spiderman- Into The Spider-Verse, Miles Morales will return for the next chapter of Spider-Verse Saga in Spiderman- Across The Spider-Verse. Directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson, the Spider-Verse saga is the first animated movie in the Spiderman universe.
In the first teaser that the studio shared, we saw Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) and Gwen Staffy (Hailee Steinfeld) reuniting with loads of cuteness. However, as soon as Miles jumps out of his window, he is transported to an alternate dimension. This alternate dimension resembles the actual one but looks more hand drawn. Jake Johnson will reprise his role of worn-down version of Spiderman in this, and Issa Rae is casted as Jessia Drew ‘Spider-woman’. The film is broken into two parts, where Across The Spider-Verse will be the first of the lot. Another Oscar in the kitty?
The Flash – June 23, 2023
It’s been a long journey for The Flash, with some major behind the scenes dramas. First the ever-changing screenwriter, directors, and delayed productions. If that was not enough, the film’s lead Ezra Miller, who is set to play a solo role as Barry Allen, got involved in all sorts of legal troubles. But looks like Warner Bros. have decided to keep Ezra very much in the picture and are all set to release the movie in June 2023.
In 2017, the studio revealed that the film will be titled as Flashpoint, an unforgettable event in the comic book where Barry travels backwards in time to save his mother, creating alternate timelines. A sneak peek shared on director Andy Muschietti page shows Barry touching his mother on the shoulders, who is actually dead in his timeline. With Ezra controversies and all sorts of ups and downs, it’ll be interesting to see what they have in store for us.

Sony did try to introduce the character in some of the other Marvel movies but failed to materialize anything. But now, we’ll get to see the villain in its full form.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been roped in to play the titular role. Interestingly, Aaron has been part of MCU when he acted as Pietro Maximoff aka Quicksilver in ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’. Now he has been signed for multiple films with the studio as Kraven.

El Muerto – January 12, 2024
Looks like the spider-world is getting bigger and better. Joining the likes of Venom, Kraven The Hunter and Madame Web, Sony studio announced the arrival of El Muerto at CinemaCon. Till now, El Muerto has remained as an obscure character in the Spiderman comics. For the titular role, the studio has announced getting Bad Bunny on board. He’s a Grammy-winning rapper who enjoys a massive popularity too. The rapper thinks he will fit into the role effortlessly because of his love for wrestling and his stint as a wrestler.
For the unversed, El Muerto is about a superpower wrestler El Muerto aka Juan Carlos Estrada Sanchez who gets his powers from a mask, passed down by his father. El Muerto must fight his oppressor el Dorado in order to remain alive and keep his superpowers. El Muerto then gets into a wrestling ring to fight spiderman and unmask him. However, it is not confirmed if the new movie is going to show El Dardo or the Spiderman himself.
Madame Web – February 16, 2024
Sony is yet again expanding the Spiderverse with Madame Web, marking it the fifth film in the Spidey installment. The movie will be directed by S.J. Clarkson, an esteemed TV director, and is written by Morbius screenwriters Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless.
The clairvoyant character first debuted in the 1980s Spiderman comic book, who was born blind. She suffers from myasthenia gravis, which makes moving or even breathing extremely difficult. Hence, the character is always hooked up to a support system, which is shaped like a spiderweb. As her condition worsens, she slowly starts developing physic powers which she uses to become a medium.
Dakota Johnson has been cast in for the role of Cassandra Webb aka Madame Web. Along with her Sydney Sweeney, Tahar Rahim, Emma Roberts, and Adam Scott, have been cast for undisclosed roles. More spider-world madness, yass!
Captain America: New World Order – May 3, 2024
We know it won’t be easy to watch anyone else play the iconic role of Captain America other than Chris Evans. In continuation of the storyline in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Malcolm Spellman, the show’s creator and head writer, is back with Captain America: New World Order. The story will show Sam Wilson, played by Anthony Mackie, as Captain America. The show, The Falcon And The Winter Soldier left viewers with some unanswered questions, which we are hoping might be answered in the fourth installment of the Captain America movie. The film will also see Sebastian Stan reprise his role of Bucky Branes and will be directed by Julius Onah. The movie is expected to go on floors in May 2024.
Thunderbolts – July 25, 2024
Thunderbolts to Marvel is what Suicide Squad is to DC! Movie buffs know that Suicide Squad is about a group of villains who go on a dangerous mission for the government. Well, Thunderbolts is Marvel’s own group of bad boys, made up of reformed tough guys.
In 2022 it was announced that Jake Schreier would direct the upcoming film, who has films like Paper Towns and Robot & Frank under his name. The movie is set to go into production in the summer of 2023. Black Widow’s screenwriter Eric Pearson will be penning down the script for this one too.
Blade – September 6, 2024
Wesley Snipes’ iconic character of Blade, a half human, half vampire hunter, is still afresh in our memories. It has been more than two decades since we saw Marvel’s bloodsucking character. Now, two-time Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali is all set to star in the reboot of Blade, which ended in 2004 with Blade: Trinity. However, we won’t get to see Ali until phase 5.
If you remember correctly, at the end of the second post credit scene of the Eternals, we see Kit Harrington’s character Dane Whitman looking at the Ebony Blade, indicating his story will lead to the Black Knight. But then we hear a voice, which turns out to be Blade’s. Well, it’ll be interesting to see how the Marvel Universe is going to fit the vampire hunter in the story, just have to wait till 2024.
Deadpool 3 – November 8, 2024
When Disney took over Fox and handed over Deadpool to Kevin Feige, fans were a little worried as the R-rated foul-mouthed character might get washed down for the younger audience. But looks like they have no plans of changing Deadpool’s outrageous personality, hell yeah! The film is going to be R-rated and a MCU movie. This time Shawn Levy will be directing the films, who has worked with Ryan in Free Guy and The Adam Project. And we have some good news for Wolverine fans. It has been confirmed by Ryan Reynolds, through his Instagram, that Hugh Jackman is going to show up in Deadpool 3. That’s right, Wolverine will be back with his iconic claws.
