[BLOG] When do All Of Marvel & DC’s Comic Book Movies Come Out? Find Out Here!

Post by Lonesamurai »

This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here »

Since Wednesday's announcement of DC Entertainment’s aggressive new movie slate, people all over the Internet are asking “When does the Justice League movie come out?” “When does the Wonder Woman Movie come out?” “When does Marvel’s Avengers: Civil War movie come out?”



Well, we have your answer. Below is a list of when movies like Aquaman, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, The Flash and Doctor Strange (among others) are set to hit theaters.



So...when do all the new Marvel and DC Comics adaptations come out? Here's a pretty exhaustive list, which we'll update periodically as more are announced (or the ones on here that aren't officially titled or dated yet are updated).



Bear in mind that many of these films haven't officially been dated exactly yet. Establishing release dates for them is a matter of connecting announced dates with announced movies and making a few intuitive leaps. There may be some minor tweaks along the way, even if all the movies stay on schedule.



New Batman and Superman solo films are also currently in development, although no dates have yet been given for those. Additionally, it's safe to assume that Marvel will continue to add dates to the list past their currently "final" announced date in 2019.



We're attempting to keep rumors and conjecture out of this as much as possible, except in cases where that rumor has been so widely circulated for so long that it's accepted among the press and fans as gospel. The exception in this case is pairing up movies with release dates based on the assumptions outlined above, for ease of using the calendar.



The state of Sony's Spider-Verse films is reportedly in flux as of this writing in October 2014, but the studio hasn't announced any official changes to its plans as yet, so we're going on the most current, official information we have. That, more than arguably anything else here, is subject to change.



All synopses come either from studio promotional materials or from the IMDB. Where no synopsis was available, we've amassed all confirmed information into a paragraph or so.



May 1, 2015 – Avengers: Age of Ultron

Marvel Studios presents Avengers: Age of Ultron, the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.

Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision.

Written and directed by Joss Whedon and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series The Avengers, first published in 1963. Get set for an action-packed thrill ride when The Avengers return in Marvel’s Avengers:Age of Ultron on May 1, 2015.



July 17, 2015 – Ant-Man

Marvel Studios presents Ant-Man, the first film in their long-awaited third "phase" of releases. Armed with a super-suit with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

Marvel’s Ant-Man stars Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man, along with Michael Douglas as Hank Pym, Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne, John Slattery as Howard Stark, Corey Stoll as Darren Cross/Yellowjacket and a number of other stars including Judy Greer and T.I. in as-yet-undisclosed parts.

Written by Gabriel Ferrari, Andrew Barrer and Adam McKay from a screenplay by Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish, Ant-Man is directed by Peyton Reed and produced by Kevin Feige.



August 7, 2015 – The Fantastic Four



The reboot of one of Marvel's most beloved comics franchises (with arguably more trouble than anybody else getting a good movie made), Fantastic Four pits Kate Mara as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, Miles Teller as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch and Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm/The Thing against Toby Kebbel as Victor Von Doom. Tim Blake Nelson and Reg E. Cathey also star in the film from director Josh Trank and producer Simon Kinberg. Trank and Kinberg also wrote the film, with help from T.S. Nowlin and Jeremy Slater.



February 12, 2016 – Deadpool

Director Tim Miller has finally figured out a way to get the Merc With a Mouth to the screen in a film that will star Ryan Reynolds, reprising his role from X-Men Origins: Wolverine in a film that ties into the timeline of the X-Men movie universe and likely will have implications for the rumored X-Force movie.

The script from Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick is reported to have been toned down to make for a PG-13 rating but is materially the same as they've been working with for years. The folks at Blur Studios will likely continue working on visual effects, since it was their proof of concept footage that, once leaked on the Internet, created an explosion of enthusiasm that brought the seemingly-dead film back to life.



March 25, 2016 – Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Man of Steel director Zack Snyder returns to bring Batman and Superman together for the first time ever on the big screen.
