All the Superhero movies coming in 2017

This year is going to be a hell of a year at the movies, with a lot of options being available to the general moviegoing public. But for those more interested in superhero films than anything else, the options can be quite overwhelming when trying to pick out the most important flicks of the year. Here is CinemaBlend's cheat sheet solely made of the superhero films that will be released in 2017.

The Lego Batman Movie (Releases February 10)

Starting the superhero season of 2017 is none other than Warner Bros' “The Lego Batman Movie”. A more comedic turn on the Batman mythos, this film owes part of its existence to the success of “The Lego Movie”, and the other part to the enduring popularity of Batman. With Will Arnett reprising his role as the Caped Crusader, Michael Cera and Ralph Fiennes playing Robin and Alfred respectively, and Zach Galifianakis bringing up the rear as The Joker, this is going to be no ordinary Bat-film.

Logan (Releases March 3)

After years of scheming, dreaming, and hoping, Logan is going to deliver on a long awaited dream that Wolverine fans have had for some time: He is going to get R-rated on villains. Unfortunately, it comes at a cost, as it's the last X-Men film that will feature Hugh Jackman in the titular role, with Patrick Stewart keeping him company as Professor X. Still, if a poignant and gritty superhero film is the one to close out their tenure in Fox's Marvel Universe, fans can't blame them for saving the (potential) best for last.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (Releases May 5)

Marvel Cinematic Universe fans have been waiting for this movie since the closing credits of “Guardians of the Galaxy” in 2014. With Star Lord (Chris Pratt) and his intergalactic family being complemented by some new additions to the team, James Gunn looks ready to rock and roll through another battle between good and evil throughout the stars. The first trailer has already been quite a hit, with Baby Groot getting a lot of attention.

Wonder Woman (Releases June 2)

DC Comics and Warner Bros have been having a bit of a problem with their cinematic universe, as both “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” and “Suicide Squad” were basically acknowledged as flawed products that purposely trimmed themselves for 'extended cuts' of varying effectiveness. Yet there's still some hope that next summer's “Wonder Woman” could be the film that gets the DCU on track again at the movies. Once again, the trailer starring Gal Gadot as the Amazonian was a major hoot for fans, and it only promises more to come.

Spider-Man: Homecoming (Releases July 7)

It's not just DC that has had problems in the superhero movie business. Case in point: the two “Amazing Spider-Man” movies that Sony put into theatres. However, the imminent arrival of “Spider-Man: Homecoming” should more than ease the pain. With Tom Holland already proving himself worthy of the web with his introduction in “Captain America: Civil War”, this film's not only a no-brainer, it's one more step towards a unified Marvel universe, as Spidey finally swings into the MCU.

Thor: Ragnarok (Releases November 3)

It's surprising how many superhero projects in 2017 come from broken or flawed franchises. “Thor: Ragnarok” is certainly part of that train of thought, as a case could be made that the adventures of the Odinson could be considered the most problematic Marvel franchise that's got a sequel to its name. Yet the dream team of director Taika Watiti and Chris Hemsworth inspires more than enough confidence that the third outing in the series could be the one that really gives this outstanding character his due in a solo film.

Justice League (Releases November 17)

If there's one superhero film that fans are afraid of, it's more than likely going to be Zack Snyder's “Justice League” team-up. With an increasingly long list of characters -- which reminds fans of the overstuffed “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice”, the concerns are not unfounded. Still, Ezra Miller's Flash and Jason Momoa's Aquaman go a long way to quelling some of these worries, and the Comic-Con trailer did look pretty impressive.
