X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

The X-Men movie franchise has been successful – of that there is no doubt. It’s been going for no less than fifteen years and is still going strong, but there’s on thing it’s been absolutely screaming out for – a truly monstrous villain (someone akin to Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe).

Finally, that appears to be happening, as 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse will bring the first mutant – En Sabah Nur AKA Apocalypse – into the fold.

The hulking blue villain with powers that include superhuman physical attributes, telepathy and telekinesis will pose a massive threat to every character we’ve grown to love in the franchise and for that reason we can’t wait to see this potentially epic Fox offering.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

Guardians of the Galaxy was undoubtedly one of the surprise cinematic successes of 2014. The heroic group were barely known beyond comic book fans, but the likes of Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), Bradley Cooper (Rocket Raccoon), Vin Diesel (Groot), Zoe Saldana (Gamora) and Dave Batista (Drax the Destroyer) turned them into popular mainstream characters.

The success of the first movie has ensured that they will not only return during the Avengers: Infinity War movies to aid the titular Earth-based team in the fight against Thanos, but they will also get their own sequel movie in 2017.

The characters, the humour and the soundtrack were just three of the things that made the first movie so special and fans will be hoping to see more of the same – as well as further character and story development.
