\n
\nSuperhero movies have soared in popularity over the past two decades. From Marvel to DC, these big-budget productions have become some of the most anticipated films of the year. This year fans have a lot to look forward to with a range of superhero movies set to be released.\n

Release Dates<\/h2>\n

The year will start off with the highly anticipated release of Marvel’s Black Widow, now scheduled for release in May 2021. Taking place after the events of Captain America: Civil War, the plot focuses on Natasha Romanoff and her journey of self-discovery and redemption. Following Black Widow in July is The Batman<\/i>, now pushed back from its initial 2021 release date. Also being released this year is a new live-action version of The Little Mermaid<\/i> along with Venom 2<\/i> and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Popularity<\/h2>\n

Superhero movies have become one of the most popular genres in film, with 19 of the top 20 highest grossing films of all time belonging to the genre. From Marvel’s The Avengers<\/i> to DC’s The Dark Knight<\/i>, these movies have become modern-day blockbusters, grossing billions of dollars worldwide. This overwhelming success hasn’t gone unnoticed. Studios have now started to create even more hero stories in order to capitalize on this newfound marketability.<\/p>\n

Cultural Impact<\/h2>\n

Superhero movies have had a major cultural impact, motivating many viewers to consider the moral dilemmas presented in the films. This can be seen in the success of the 2016 release Deadpool<\/i>, which featured a crude but ultimately morally good protagonist. By challenging established superhero movie tropes, the film sparked a discussion about what it truly means to be a hero. This in turn sparked a cultural trend of reimagining what a superhero can be and how a superhero should act.<\/p>\n

Critical Reception<\/h2>\n

Critical reception for superhero movies has been mixed. While most probably can agree that these films have become more creative in their storytelling and visuals, many critics still lament the formulaic plot structures and predictable dialogue. This has led to audiences becoming increasingly jaded, with many feeling a sense of “superhero fatigue” due to the over-saturation of superhero movies on the market.<\/p>\n
