Avengers: Infinity War (27th April)
This is mostly the biggest movie of the year. Every hero. The biggest Big Villain that ever existed.And presumably more action and drama and laughs than most of the other Marvel films to date. Avengers: Infinity War is the movie all the other movies have been leading up to and for that reason alone it promises to be spectacular. The fact that it’s being made by Anthony and Joe Russo, who made the last two Captain America movies so great, is just a bonus. The summer won’t know what hit it.

Expect more dinosaurs, more Chris Pratt, and Bryce Dallas Howard.
Ant-Man and the Wasp (July 6)
This movie is based on the Marvel Comics characters Scoot Lang (ant-man) and Hope Van Dyne (Wasp). Get ready for more slapstick, Paul Rudd (Ant-Man) charm, and Evangaline Lilly kicking airborne ass while rocking an A+ bob. Oh, and Michelle Pfeiffer as well.

X-Men: Dark Phoenix (November 2)
The X-Men movies may have had a great run, but after the epochal Logan they could easily have been sunsetted as a cinematic franchise. It is the intended to be the thirteenth installment in the X-men film Series. In X-Men: Dark Phoenix, the X-Men must face the full power of the Dark Phoenix as well as the alien Shi’ar Empire.
