Another year, another onslaught of superhero flicks! As usual, Marvel and DC Comics are behind the most anticipated movies of the year, and 2016 has a lot in store for fans of superhero outings. We will be introduced to some new characters and reunited with many familiar faces throughout the year. Here’s a quick look at what we can look forward to in the coming months…

Deadpool (February)

If you’ve been lamenting the lack of R-rated superhero movies, you’re in luck — Marvel’s unorthodox, trashy-sounding superhero Deadpool is heading to the big screen this year … which you already know. It was known, thanks to a marketing campaign so aggressively unrelenting that it would either blow you away with expectations or tire you out before the film was even released. Tim Miller’s directorial debut is coming to a cinema near you this February (probably after being censored to within an inch of its life) and tells the story of a former Special Forces operative. has been subjected to a rogue experiment. Tried to cure his cancer but ended up with power and turned into a mercenary. Former Green Lantern Ryan Reynolds – who briefly played the role in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) – has been cast in the titular role.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (March)

First the world had a collective meltdown when ex-Daredevil Ben Affleck was cast as Bruce Wayne, then a glimpse of Jesse Eisenberg’s cringe-worthy portrayal of Lex Luthor in the film’s trailer made matters worse. Add to that the fact that Man of Steel (2013) wasn’t exactly everyone’s favorite superhero movie, and it’s clear to see why Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice isn’t really drawing high expectations. But curiosity will still drive us to theaters this March, so we can find out why the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel (Henry Cavill) are going up against each other. And who will win the fight between Batman and Superman? DC Comics and Warner Bros. Pictures, of course, because ultimately, it’s all about Benjamin!

Captain America: Civil War (May)

A more interesting pairing is brewing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, set to pit Captain America (Chris Evans) against Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.). The Avengers team has split into two opposing factions, one led by Steve Rogers and the other by Tony Stark, as the Captain America trilogy comes to a close this May. Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stein), Falcon (Anthony Mackie), War Machine (Don Cheadle), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Vision (Paul Bettany), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), and Ant-Man ( Paul Rudd) are set to make an appearance, while Spider-Man (Tom Holland) will debut in the crossover franchise. Grim consequences are expected, and the rumor mill is buzzing with speculation that a major character may even be killed off.

X-Men: Apocalypse (May)

Marvel’s mutant band of superheroes returns as things take a drastic turn in the ninth installment of the X-Men franchise. Man of the Moment Oscar Isaac joins the series as the baddie, a powerful mutant who wants to wipe out humanity, leaving it up to Professor X (James McAvoy) and his crew to save the world. Bryan Singer is once again in the director’s chair, and anyone who liked the last few episodes will probably enjoy the new episode this summer.

Suicide Squad (August)

Marvel exploded into heroes with their oddball collective misfits in the brilliant Guardians of the Galaxy. Now DC is following suit as it’s assembled its own anti-hero team into Suicide Squad, which, at least based on its trailers, looks like it’s trying to be a bigger GotG. The film sees a group of super villains who undertake dangerous black ops missions in exchange for forgiveness. Will Smith plays Deadshot, Margot Robbie is Harley Quinn, and the Joker will be played by Jared Leto (how is he not Heath Ledger).

Doctor Strange (November)

Another addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe arrives in November when the mysterious Doctor Strange makes his first big screen outing. The project already has ties to the current season of Agent Carter, which aims to share elements with the film, and has assembled an impressive cast that includes Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Tilda Swinton. are, starring the brilliant Benedict Cumberbatch. lead role (much to the chagrin of everyone who would have liked to see Oscar Isaac – who was a contender for the part – in the role). The story revolves around a neurosurgeon who, after being injured in a car accident, begins to learn the mystical arts from his teacher, the Ancient One (Swinton).
