Most Anticipated Upcoming Marvel Movies

Marvel Studios has managed to make the most successful interconnected universe of cinematic movies ever, and 10 years of planning has culminated in the recent Avengers: Infinity War. Between all the hype for this event, there have been the questions about what will come next and what the franchise will be like after Thanos' story. Well, several movies have already been confirmed for Phase 4 of the Marvel universe; which will start after next year's "Captain Marvel" and the untitled "Avengers 4". Out of all those projects, these are the ones I'm most looking forward to seeing.



Black Panther 2

I found the first Black Panther movie largely enjoyable. Killmonger I thought was a great villain, Shuri and the rest of the supporting cast were fun, and the concept of Wakanda was well realized. I wasn't hyped for the movie, I didn't flock to theaters to see it, I waited until it came on dvd and then borrowed it from a friend. I was pleasantly surprised, though without Killmonger and Klaue, my two favorite parts of the movie, I'm unsure how interested I'll be in the next installment. Regardless, the world intrigued me and the rest of the characters were charismatic enough to warrant me being interested in a sequel.

Eternals

Like the New Gods movie that DC is putting together, Eternals sounds like a distinct, cosmic movie that would introduce us to all kinds of interstellar romps that the MCU hasn't yet explored. Super beings and grand entities is something only touched upon with Ego the Living Planet and Dormammu, so it'll be fun to see what else this universe can throw at us. I don't know squat about the Eternals, but I know they're deep space, and Marvel has proved thus far that they know how to do space movies.

Spiderman 2

Spiderman has always been one of my favorite heroes and when he was announced to be joining the MCU I was overjoyed. Homecoming came out and I thoroughly enjoyed it, Vulture turned out to be a well developed villain, we got a new love interest in Liz so there wasn't any retreading old movies (yet), and Peter himself was a welcome addition to the roster of Spidey actors over the years. Better yet, this new series takes place while he is still in high school, and so far it has been a refreshing take on the wall crawler. With Mysterio being lined up for the next film, and Jake Gyllenhaal supposedly playing him, I couldn't be more excited for the film and to see where Spiderman goes next.

Doctor Strange 2

To be frank, I wasn't a big fan of the first Doctor Strange film. It felt very fast to me, too fast to really let anything simmer, and added to that was a lackluster villain, throwaway love interest, and the generic quippy hero personality that we've had for the past twelve Marvel films. Then Infinity War came out and Doctor Strange stopped being quippy, he stopped being nice and stopped smiling and getting along with others. The movie finally gave him the characterization he had in the comics: they made him a jerk and I fell in love with his character. It's refreshing for a Marvel hero to act the way he does, and it makes him stand out against the others. Now I can't wait to see him in his own movie again, going up against magic and whatever else they want to do, as long as they keep his personality intact.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3

It's safe to say that Guardians of the Galaxy surprised everyone and became a breakaway hit, quickly becoming some of the most favorite characters in the whole Marvel cinematic universe. That is also my feelings about it, I love the team, the individual characters, their storylines, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is one of my top MCU movies. They're colorful, loud, spacey, and puts emphasis on character growth. Another reason I really like their series is that every time they appear in a movie, one of them dies, presenting a sense of danger that isn't present in a lot of Marvel movies. Groot died in the first (it has been confirmed that Baby Groot is an entirely separate character), Yondu in the second, Gamora in Infinity War, and I don't expect this trend to end. The recent news that the third film is being delayed broke my heart, but I'm content to wait as long as its good and wraps up their trilogy and Peter Quill's story nicely.
