List Of Most Anticipated Marvel 2020 Movies

The New Mutants

Release Date: April 3, 2020

In what is intended to be the thirteenth and a possible final for the X-Men film series, is a first of the trilogy which follows a group of five young mutants who after discovering their abilities are held captive in a secret facility. These youngsters will have to fight their way out of the facility while having to face their past and villains too. The superhero horror movie will be having a horrific setting and it is unlikely that we will be seeing explosions which are hallmarks of previous movies of the series.

With the older cast members gradually but inevitably exiting from the X-men franchise, there is a need to develop a crop of gifted youngsters to take over the X-Men movies. The project is putting together an excellent ensemble with our very own  American-born English actress and model, as Illyana Rasputin / Magik (sister of Colossus) and the young beautiful English actress as Rahne Sinclair / Wolfsbane a mutant werewolf. We should also expect to see British actor as Sam Guthrie / Cannonball, American actress Blu Hunt as Danielle Moonstar, a character with telepathic abilities and Henry Zaga as Roberto da Costa / Sunspot.

A new character may also be added into the film with the reshooting but for now, the long-awaited movie is expected to hit the cinemas on April 3, 2020.

Directed by Josh Boone and produced by 20th Century Fox, The New Mutant movie was already all set for a debut in April 13, 2018, when suddenly in early 2018 it was announced that the release date had been shifted to August 2019 to allow some reshoots and although till today the said reshoots have not been realized for reasons yet to be made known, it is believed that it will be more extensive than previously considered, with about half of the movie to be reshot. This reshooting is as a result of the positive response gotten from the public on the released horror trailer, therefore, creating a task for Marvel Studios to make The New Mutants scarier and more frightening than it is now. The much-anticipated film was shot in Boston from July to September 2017, primarily at Medfield State Hospital.

Black Widow

Release Date: May 1, 2020

Second on the list of  Marvel 2020 movies, is the Black widow movie. For many years fans have called for a female-led superhero movie from the Marvel Studios and a Black Widow solo film seems to be a perfect solution to these calls. Originally, the Black Widow character was not created to be a stand-alone character in the MCU but with every Avenger movie, she played visible roles which endeared her to fans. Black Widow is now a very popular superhero and she really would be needing a solo movie which is currently under production.

As at the time of writing, there are no official details about the story that the movie will tell, but it has been confirmed that the movie will take place between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, where the events of Captain America: Civil War leaves Natasha Romanoff alone, forcing her to confront her past.

Black Widow will be the twenty-fourth film in the MCU written by two great American movie directors and producers, Jac Schaeffer and Ned Benson. Casting has already begun, and it stars American actress and singer,  who would appear as Natasha Romanoff/ Black Widow alongside English actress Florence Pugh as Yelena/ Black Widow, Rachel Weisz as Melina/Black Widow, as Alexei/ The Red Guardian,  and O-T Fagbenle as Mason. The Black Widow role in Iron Man 2was initially meant to be taken up by British-American actress but she was unable to do so as she was already committed to star in Rob Letterman’s 2010  fantasy adventure comedy film, Gulliver’s Travels. Scarlett who then assumed the role is said to be receiving roughly $15 million to appear in the film.

Others expected to join the cast list for the upcoming movie include as Melina, with Ray Winstone and Olivier Richters receiving undisclosed roles. We will also have and William Hurt respectively appearing as Tony Stark / Iron Man and Thaddeus Ross. It has also been confirmed that the blockbuster will bring the comic fan-favorite villain character Taskmaster to the big screen for the first time, but it is yet to be known who takes up the role.

Filming of Black Widow took place in Norway, Budapest, Pinewood Studios in England, and in Macon, Georgia from May to October 2019. So far footages and an official poster have been released and hopefully, a trailer will be in place before the end of 2019.
