5. Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom – December 16, 2022
In 2018, James Wan’s Aquaman proved to moviegoers and the studio that DC movies no longer had to bet on Superman and Batman for ticket sales. With over $1 billion in international box revenue, a sequel was a foregone conclusion. Following its debut, Warner Bros. announced that a successor was in the works two months later.
Although Patrick Wilson’s Ocean Master and Abdul-Mateen II’s Black Manta might appear in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, neither character will be the main villain. This movie’s story has already been “locked,” according to Aquaman star Jason Momoa, who also claims credit for some of the storyline ideas. The sequel to Aquaman will be released on a holiday and should be the concluding superhero film of the year in 2022.

Beyond the Avengers films, Black Panther is the most financially successful entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel will launch the eagerly awaited sequel to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in four years.
Since Chadwick Boseman, the original star of Black Panther, died in the first film, the follow-up is particularly focused more on Wakandans than the Black Panther. To make room for Captain Marvel 2, which had been originally scheduled to open in July 2022, the picture was postponed until November 2022. Production has been put on hold since star Letitia Wright was injured on the set.
7. Black Adam – July 29, 2022
