4. The Flash

I love The Flash.

Barry Allen is one of my all time favorite characters, with Wally West not far behind. Heck, even Jay Garrick probably ranks in my top fifty. So even though I have been…uh…not the DCEU’s biggest fan, shall we say, I’m still pretty darn excited for this one.

Yes, it’s true we already have a note perfect Flash portrayal on television, but hey, I’d also like one in the cinematic universe. Getting big screen, super high budget looks at Captain Cold, Heatwave, and the rest of The Rogues would be beautiful, and would make me all happy and stuff and I might cry.

Plus, the nature of super speed means that with a movie-level CGI budget, we could get some really great looking effects shots that truly play with The Flash’s powers.

But again, Barry is my boy, and any version of him that we could get on the silver screen would really make my year.

3. Thor: Ragnarok

Rad.

Yeah, yeah, I know, Thor 2 was the weakest Marvel movie we’ve had yet, but I still have high hopes for the threequel. Everything I’ve heard makes it sound like we’re getting eighties fantasy levels of crazy from this one, and I could not be more psyched about that. Have you seen that logo? It looks like it should be spray-painted on the side of a van. A van I would totally buy.

Like, there should be some sweet hair metal playing behind this entire entry. Also, it’s directed by Taika Waititi. The dude who made What We Do In The Shadows. If you haven’t seen that, do, it’s hilarious. This means that this upcoming film will be in the hands of a comedic director. Because it’s not like the last time they gave a Marvel movie to directors known for a comedy series it worked out crazy well or anything (The joke is that the Russos came from best-television-comedy-of-all-time, Arrested Development. That is the joke if you aren’t a nerd like me who knew that).

But yeah, let’s rock some van art fantasy, that sounds awesome.
