Wonder Woman, Justice League, Thor, Logan and every superhero movie to look forward to until 2020: Here's the list
Watch out for the biggest superhero movies that feature interconnected universes and storylines.
Like Superhero Comics, the movies based on these fictional characters possessing superpowers and shouldering great responsibilities have a cult of their own. Therefore, over the years, major studios like Warner Bros, Sony, Marvel and more have created extended Universes, where the characters and their individual storylines often collide to result in massive conflicts and consequences.
This year's superhero movies' line-up not only looks impressive, but also promises diverse worlds with different plots and situations to the fans. While several films release in theatres in 2017, some are still in the making and are lined-up for the coming years.
Here's an extensive guide for the superhero movie lovers on the films that release from 2017 – 2010:
1. Logan – 3 March, 2017
Wolverine fans are about to close a nostalgic chapter in 2017 as Hugh Jackman stars in the third and final instalment of the popular franchise directed by James Mangold. The X-Men character will find him in a post-apocalyptic landscape where mutants are scarce and influenced by the "Old Man Logan" comics arc. The R-rated movie is also expected to star fan-favourite X-23, raising anticipation and serving as a fitting end to one era of the mutant saga.
Cast includes Jackman, Boyd Holbrook, Stephen Merchant, Richard E. Grant, and Patrick Stewart.
2. Guardians Of The Galaxy vol. 2 – 5 May, 2017
Marvel's much-anticipated sequel boasts an addition of stars such as Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone to the high-profile cast of the movie.

3. Wonder Woman – 2 June, 2017
After her impressive stint as the Amazonian warrior in Batman v Superman, Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman will headline her solo movie in June.
