Superhero films have grown to be much more popular in recent years. Both major comic companies, DC Comics and Marvel Comics, are producing movies at a rate faster than ever before. With Disney's recent acquisition of Marvel, they are producing more and more movies than we can keep up with, even more than one in a single year.
Many superhero films have been done before, and have been reproduced with new actors and a slightly new angle. Many people disagree about who plays the role the best, leading to arguments. One positive about this increase in movie production is that many new films have never been created before, and there are heroes that have only been introduced in the comics that many people may not have read. With these new movies, many new actors have been brought in to play different heroes in the upcoming movies, especially with the films that bring several heroes together to fight against a common villain. There are many popular commonly known heroes, but also some that are a little less common that may require some thinking.
