It would be fair to say that Superheroes are all the rage nowadays, and this is perhaps a golden period for us fans as there are a ton of superhero sequels and new movies / T.v shows headed our way . So without further ado lets take a look at some of them.
The LEGO Batman Movie — February 10, 2017
In the irreverent spirit of fun that made ‘The LEGO Movie’ a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble — LEGO Batman — stars in his own big-screen adventure: ‘The LEGO Batman Movie.’ But there are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.
Will Arnett will return as the voice of Batman, Zach Galifianakis is set to voice the Joker, Rosario Dawson is Batgirl/Barbara Gordon and Michael Cera is Robin/Dick Grayson.
Logan — March 3, 2017
Wolverine will return to the big screen in a solo film that, following the success of Deadpool, will be rated R. The film will star Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine, Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier/Professor X and Boyd Holbrook as the villainous Donald Pierce.
In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X in a hide out on the Mexican border. But Logan’s attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are up-ended when a young mutant arrives, being pursued by dark forces.
Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 2 – May 5, 2017
After the massive success of Guardians of the Galaxy, Chris Pratt and the rest of the team will return for the sequel that will also be directed by James Gunn. Thanos is not expected to return (though he will have a major role in the MCU’s Phase Three), but both Kurt Russell and Pom Klementieff are set to join the cast as Ego and Mantis.
Set two months after the first film, the Guardians of the Galaxy travel throughout the cosmos and struggle to keep their new-found family together, while helping Peter Quill learn more about his true parentage.

After her appearance in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Gal Gadot will also star in a standalone Wonder Woman film in 2017. Directed by Patty Jenkins, Wonder Woman will also star Chris Pine (Star Trek) and Robin Wright (House of Cards).

Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.

Step aside, Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire, it’s Tom Holland’s turn to make his mark as Spider-Man. This time Spidey is part of the MCU, and Iron Man will even pop up! The official Marvel synopsis reveals little in the way of plot, but it’s enough to get us excited:
A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Marvel Studios’ Captain: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging superhero in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Spider-Man: Homecoming will star Holland, Michael Keaton, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Marisa Tomei, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, Robert Downey Jr., Jon Favreau and Tony Revolori among others.

But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger — the Incredible Hulk!
Justice League — November 17, 2017
The Justice League Part One will bring together the big-name superheroes of DC comics. Here’s the official synopsis for the film:

Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes — Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash — it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
Powerless – February 2, 2017
In a world where humanity must cope with the collateral damage of Super Heroes and Super-Villains, Emily Locke (Vanessa Hudgens) begins her first day as Director of Research & Development for Wayne Security, a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises that specializes in products that make defenseless bystanders feel a little safer. Full of confidence and big ideas, Emily quickly learns that her expectations far exceed those of her new boss (Alan Tudyk) and officemates, so it will be up to her to lead the team toward their full potential and the realization that you don’t need superpowers to be a hero.
Legion – February 8, 2017
Promising to be the most unusual superhero TV show ever made, #Legion is an unusual story inspired by the X-Men character David Haller. David Haller, a.k.a. Legion, is a haunted man with power beyond comprehension. His power does not come free, but at the steep cost of David’s mind. Plagued by numerous split personalities – each commanding a different aspect of his power – David is trying to find his way back to sanity.

Excitingly, Legion is confirmed to be set within the wider X-Men cinematic universe, and it’s believed that it will feature Patrick Stewart.
