Marvel:
With Endgame closing out the MCU Infinity Saga, it will be interesting to see how excited people are for the post Endgame slate of films. I think the days of the general audience seeing an MCU film just to stay up to date are over and Marvel may have to "rebuild" in a way as they will have to get people interested in unknown characters.
I think the Spiderman franchise will still do a billion plus for each new release as the character has always been popular without the MCU. So most people will see SP3, especially with SP2 ending the way it did.
Doctor Strange 2 will have the same popularity as the first film, I think, and many people will probably see it in theaters but not betting it to break one billion milestone.
I'm personally not that interested in seeing Shang Chi or the Eternals because I have never been that interested in the comic book content especially the Eternals. TBH I'm thinking one of the two will be a commercial disappointment. I will bet on the Eternals being a disappointment as I think Marvel may be betting on star power (Angelina Jolie, kit Harrington, etc) to garner interest in the film but I just think the content and storyline may not be enough for most individuals. IMO both films are hard sells but at least with Shang there's room to do something creative and innovative to get attention.
I will be seeing Black Widow but imo Marvel doing a prequel is wasting this character and will probably diminish the interest in the film for a lot of people as most will think it has no importance since the Infinity Saga is over. Even though I think that there will be subplot in the film that relates to the next saga.
DC:
I'm pretty excited for everything tbh.
Birds of Prey is a toss up on if it will be good or not. I think it will do commercially well as Harley Quinn is currently the favorite comic book bad girl. Hopefully they took some of the personality that she has in the animated series and apply it in live action.
WW1984 - Absolutely!
The Batman- I like the director Matt Reeves and the story supposedly being based off of the Long Halloween arc. Love Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman. I'm okay with Robert Patterson as Batman, considering he has improved as an actor since those twighlight days and now has a strong acting resume so I'll give it a chance.
Black Adam - About time! Black Adam as a character is really interesting and I think the Rock is a good pick but need to know more details.
Green Lantern Corps - Please be about John Stewart, Jessica Cruz, or Guy Gardner just not Hal Jordan he is the worst Lantern to me.
I probably forgot some movies that were announced but feel free to mention them and give your thoughts.
Overall I'm more excited for DC as I think there are more opportunities there as far as characters and storylines that can be adapted in new creative ways. The MCU currently doesn't have as many characters that are being adapted that I'm interested in and I think the interconnectedness may pose as a problem coming up as it may cause future films to be restricted on what can be done in terms of innovation.
