If you like superhero movies then you will be well satisfied. This is just a list of the Marvel and DC movies coming out in the next 5 years and it has 23 movies on it. This list does not even include Sinister Six (2016) and Amazing Spider-Man 3 (2018) to be released by Sony Pictures. At the end of the next 5 years, the world will either continue its love affair with superheroes or, somewhere in the middle of this, the box office may come to a screeching halt.

Where does this leave us? Here are a few questions to be discussed.
1. With so many choices can some of the lesser named heroes compete or will people just wait until the next movie comes out? I believe that the early movies will set the fate of the later movies for each of these studios. Even Marvel is going to have to prove themselves again with this many choices in movies to watch.
2. Can DC compete with the juggernaut that is Marvel Studios? In many ways. I seriously doubt that the DC movies will out preform their Marvel counterparts. Wonder Woman and Justice League are the potential wild cards to watch. The way it has been laid out, nothing seems to have a prayer in touching the crown that is waiting to awarded to the 3 Avengers movies.
3. After 2020, what happens next? It is clear that Marvel will try to continue on some of its phase 3 heroes while it decides if and how they will reboot their franchises. Where could they possibly go from here? What happens next for DC is probably tied closely to the performances of their new heroes. If the movies don't perform strongly at the box office I am sure that DC will just go back and release independent Batman and Superman movies.
Grab your popcorn and movie ticket and head to your favorite theater because if superhero movies is your genre, then your movie schedule is full for years to come!
