The enthusiasm for superheroes and sequels on the big screen shows no sign of abating in 2019. Hot on the heels of the huge success of Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War in 2018, Marvel will offer up Avengers: Endgame and Captain Marvel in the new year. Endgame appears to be the end of the current Avengers line-up and star Chris Evans has already confirmed it will be his last time in the role of Captain America. The arrival of Captain Marvel on March 8 marks Marvel’s first standalone film about a female superhero, played by Brie Larson, and its first co-directed by a woman (Anna Boden with Ryan Fleck). The DC cinematic universe will also offer up the highly anticipated standalone film about its most notorious villain, Joker, starring Joaquin Phoenix in the title role.
