Between Captain Marvel, Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Dark Phoenix, Shazam!, and Joker, 2019 was an absolutely massive year for comic book movies, and that trend most definitely isn’t disappearing as we head into the new year.
While there are, by the numbers, fewer Marvel and DC blockbusters set to hit the big screen, each title is expected to ride into theaters in 2020 on a major wave of excitement, each of them featuring action and character work that should thrill audiences worldwide.
Diving a bit deeper than that, however, while these projects are all highly anticipated in general, there are certain heroes and villains in the individual releases that are garnering more attention than others – and it’s those characters that we are focusing on here.
While there is a lot of mystery surrounding all of the roles that will be discussed, leaving a lot of room for speculation based on limited information and the source material, our larger expectations matched with a particular level of optimism has generated this list of those Marvel and DC characters who we think will steal the show in the next year.
