Most anticipated live action comic book movie of 2026

[psylockolussus]

Avengers: Doomsday
Clayface
Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Supergirl

I bolded my choice.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Supergirl

Avengers: Doomsday is quite comfortably my most anticipated.

I'm probably least hyped about Spider-Man: Brand New Day, not sure why but I'm more looking forward to Supergirl & Clayface has me intrigued.

 

[blueharvest]

Probably Supergirl. Although, I'm also looking forward to Avengers: Doomsday, I guess.

 

[Deck Rickard]

I want to look forward to Doomsday but the whole RDJ of it all just makes me feel nothing.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Lol, Doomsday by a country mile.

 

[blueharvest]

I want to look forward to Doomsday but the whole RDJ of it all just makes me feel nothing.

I'll probably get more excited for it after I see a trailer or something.

 

[Pennywise]

Supergirl or Clayface, but really excited for BND too.

 

[BoredGuy]

Right now I'd say Brand New Day
But I'm hopeful Doomsday rocks our socks with the trailer and that jumps to #1

Curiously interested in Clayface

And don't really care at all about drunken Supergirl

 

[Babillygunn]

Supergirl far and away, and then BND

I’m equal parts curious and apprehensive about Clayface.

I don’t really care about Doomsday. It seems like elements thrown together from a salad bar of fan service with a main course of crap in the form of RDJ.

WoT should be assigned reading for the Superman movie so that it makes sense why she drinks.

I mean I have no real attachment to the character in general
so her appearance in Superman was just really off-putting, just felt like Gunn's lame idea of an edgy take on her

I get that. And that is why I wish people knew what is the driving force behind that scene. It is reasonable for people to assume that it is simply James Gunn giving in to his typical juvenile humor which he has become known for. But the WoT book provides a deeper explanation for Kara’s behaviors.
When Tom King wrote WoT, he decided to explore the trauma that Kara would have experienced that her cousin did not. Kal El was a baby when Krypton exploded and everyone he loved died. He doesn’t have memory of this. But Kara was a teenager, so she definitely remembers it vividly. She also was on a piece of Krypton with her family that was hurled into space. That piece of Krypton slowly turned to Kryptonite as it goes deeper into space, and after witnessing her home world die, she then had to witness her family slowly succumb to radiation poisoning from the Kryptonite.
When she finally makes it to earth, she has not aged, but her baby cousin has, and he is the most powerful being on earth and she is left questioning what her place and purpose are, all the while dealing with some pretty severe ptsd from her experiences.

As Tom King put it: Superman is someone affected by learning about the holocaust of his people. Supergirl is someone who experienced that holocaust…twice. And she’s left to deal with it. And thus you get a better glimpse of why she is self medicating in the scene we see in Superman.

 

[CaptainWagner]

Supergirl easily. Alcock's 30 seconds in Superman were everything, I'm ready to ride to battle for her

Cautiously optimistic about Clayface and BND. And fully expecting Dommsday to be the worst movie ever made.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Mine is actually Masters of the Universe. I used to love He-Man as a kid, it was my favourite cartoon and even loved the Dolphin Lundgren movie when I was younger. Just not so much now.

Travis Knight is a good director I have liked everything I have seen from the movie so far.

Looking forward to the others as well of course.

Supergirl and Clayface. DC is fresh and exciting and currently on a very promising streak. Marvel... I hope BND is good, but I'm not a huge fan of its predecessors, particularly the latest one. This one seems like it might do some interesting things for a change, so I'm cautiously optimistic. As far as Doomsday goes, I'm beyond excited to see my beloved Fox-Men again, but that does not a movie make. We'll see.

 

[KBX]

Doomsday by a good chunk.

BND
Supergirl

Really not all that interested in Clayface

Oh yeah I forgot about this one. Damn it, I’m really looking forward to it and I want it to be good so badly.

But… Leto… ****.
