3. Suicide Squad
It literally just gets better and better, next up is Suicide Squad and I struggled whether to put this third or second, however it falls third, only because, in the past there has been a repetition of DC movies failing to reach expectations and it could fall in the same trap. Regardless of this, don’t let that put you off because, this is one of the most hyped up movies for this year.
To start with; look at the cast and characters in this film, the cast consisting of people such as Will Smith, Jared Leto and Margot Robbie giving us two hours or so of bad guys we know from various comic books banding together causing carnage, I mean what’s more exciting then that? Well quite a bit to be honest, there are several other things to be excited for: first of all, there are enough fan theories and speculation in this film to give Star Wars: The Force Awakens a run for its money. Examples of this are fans asking the question consisting of: who actually is the Joker and what of his origin? Who is he electrocuting? Theories regarding Jason Todd and whether or not any part of him will feature in the film, past or present?
The scene with Batman on top of the Joker’s car during the trailer, there’s just so much mystery in this film which makes it ever more exciting to find out the truth and seeing the end result. Other than this, we know its going to be in this newly formed DC cinematic universe so what else will it show to us? The trailer I think is the best one out of all the films to come out this year. The film is just a fire work waiting to be exploded and I guarantee it’s going to be a massive action-packed, anti-hero film to fulfil us with surprises and those ‘oh my god moments’.
2. Captain America: Civil War
And now we’ve come to the two big boys, starting with Captain America: Civil War, see I was going to put this first, however after finding out a big leak about the entire story of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice thanks to a good friend of mine Mr Scott Bourne, this ends up second on the list but only just! The trailer to this is just all out war and what better than two opposing teams consisting of the Avengers fighting against one another for their respected causes and not to forget that moment at the end of the trailer… The one with Iron Man fighting Cap and Bucky… damn, just sends shivers down the body!
Another reason to be excited about this film is that, the story is an important point in the Marvel archive, The situation they’re in plays a pivotal role for the Avengers in their story arc and I think this will co-exist within this film; also, the tension has been brewing between Stark and Rogers since Avengers Assemble and we finally get to see it unfold in this next instalment.
Back to the trailer, the conflict throughout the two minutes or so looks amazing and the emotion between all the characters looks really intense, already knowing that we will be seeing new heroes join the Marvel cinematic universe such Blank Panther and the long awaited Spider-Man through this film. So there is a lot to be excited about, apart from explosive action, that battle between Iron Man and Captain America (which was so epic in the comics), will start learn what direction Phase 3 will be heading in. In my eyes this film is an Avengers movie in it’s own right due to the amount of super heroes popping up throughout and it will be stupid not to put this in you’re diaries.
1. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Here we are, the most excited upcoming comic book film of 2016 and its goes to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Prior to this, due to the information I received from my friend, is the reason why this film get’s in the number one spot. If his sources are correct, then boy have we got a lot to look forward to in this movie! Don’t worry, I shan’t be telling you the information I received, as the whole movie will be ruined but there’s a lot happening within this film and it looks like it will be the best DC movie ever made!
Now to talk about what we already know, the opening of the trailer was exceptional, the war of words that is spoken between Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne is some impressive script work and then Lex Luthor (Jesse Esienberg), with those dark and witty characteristic is looking like he’ll be as exciting as the Joker (Heath Ledger) in The Dark Knight. With this being said, the film just looks mental, having Batman and Superman go at one another, Doomsday entering the picture, Wonder Woman saving the boys from getting their ass’s melted and not to mention even more fan theory and surprises lurking within the story.
ith all the criticism Ben Affleck got about being Batman, I ensure you viewers that he’ll prove everyone wrong and put him self up there as one of the Batman greats. There are so many moments I can pick out proving why this film is to be the most exciting comic movie to be seen this year, however this article has gone on long enough, what I will say though, is that this film will finally kick start the Justice League once and for all and there is a lot in this film that will make viewers walk out the cinema and simply go ‘wow’… believe me.
Now that’s what to be excited for in 2016, and my god what a year its going to be for comic lovers.
