There are loads of comic book movies coming out in 2018. From Black Panther to Avengers: Infinity War, some films will be brand new cinematic debuts from its original Marvel comic book versions, and others will be sequels to previous superhero films. The films will be released throughout the year, featuring a collection of familiar stars and new faces. Here is a brief guide to seven of them.
