In 2024, the list of superhero films is manageable. The MCU currently only has one project on the go, but a few really wacky new Avengers are waiting to make their grand entrance.

These 7 superhero films will be released in cinemas and on Netflix in 2024
For our overview, we have sorted the upcoming superhero entertainment in order of release. With the Moviepilot previews, we also tell you which movie most people are looking forward to

Unusual superhero return at Netflix: Code 8 gets a sequel
The 2016 science fiction film Code 8 turned the superhero existence into a bleak vision of the future in which the few supernaturally gifted humans lived a life as feared outsiders. In the Netflix sequel Code 8 Part II, electrician Connor (Robbie Amell), who was drawn into a bank robbery in Part 1, once again encounters telekinetic criminal Garrett (Stephen Amell) and tries to help a psychic girl.

Ryan Reynolds MCU extravaganza Deadpool 3 wants to change everything
(Deadpool 3 coming 2024)
After a six-year wait, Ryan Reynolds returns in Deadpool 3 as a violent mutant with a big mouth to rough up enemies and allies alike.

Spider-Man villain Kraven the Hunter hunts poachers
With Sergei Kravinoff (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), better known as Kraven the Hunter, Sony has snapped up another villain after Venom and Morbius, who is being elevated to hero status with his own movie. However, the “best hunter in the world” and protector of nature has to deal with an opponent who should not be underestimated in his adventure: Alessandro Nivola as Rhino.

Joaquin Phoenix returns as the singing Joker
Joker turned the perception of DC entertainment upside down in 2019 with a standalone movie about the Batman villain. In Joker 2: Folie à deux, the mentally unhealthy criminal stand-up comedian Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) returns to subvert all expectations once again: in a musical with Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn at his side.

Tom Hardy mutates into a symbiote again in Venom 3
(Venom 3 brings Tom Hardy back)
Venom 3 is the third Sony superhero film to be released in 2024. Once again, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) must try to live in harmony with the alien being with whom he shares his body. He is joined in the new cast by Chiwetel Ejiofor and Juno Temple. Screen Rant is already speculating whether the title, sometimes written as Venom³, means that this time the multiplication number refers to several Venom variants instead of other symbiotes.

The wackiest superhero film of 2024 sends Peter Dinklage into the race
The Toxic Avenger is set to deliver a remake of Atomic Hero this year after its festival premiere in 2023 and is therefore less reminiscent of Marvel’s The Avengers than The Boys in its level of violence: janitor Winston Gooze (Peter Dinklage) is disfigured by a toxic accident and mutates into perhaps the most unusual Avenger of the year. Even Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood doesn’t win any beauty contests in one of the first images from the wacky horror superhero film.
Start: still unknown
Anticipation rank 4 (79 reservations)
