“The Bench”: which actors and actresses will soon play in new Marvel and DC films (14 photos)
Superhero movies are an eternal thing. Yes, at first they are on a wave, then there comes a period of calm, and then a complete failure. But this train will go on forever. And all because of the flexibility of the genre. Have you heard of multiverses? This is a universal technique that allows you to choke the same comic and make numerous restarts until it finally fires. For example, the unfortunate "Fantastic Four", which is "fantastically" unlucky. This franchise will have another chance in 2025, where new actors and a new director will try their hand. And how many Batmans have there already been... you can easily lose count. But the show must go on! Let's see which actors and actresses will soon play in new Marvel and DC films.
