From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

To put it lightly, Superhero films are all the rage right now. Ever since the release of X-Men back in 2000, the ‘genre’ has only grown in popularity with both audiences and critics alike. It’s an exciting time to be a comic book fan, that’s for sure.

However, for many cinema-goers, it all seems a little too much. Between 2016 and 2020 there will be at least 30 superhero films in cinemas, and likely more now Deadpool has proven that even R-Rated superhero films can top the international box-office.

Here are all the superhero films expected to be released from the beginning of 2016 and the end of 2020, starting with Fox’s Deadpool and ending with DC/Warner Bros’ Green Lantern Corps.

Of course, this doesn’t account for any of the Superhero themed TV shows also set for release over the next four years, including more Daredevil, The Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, Agents of Shield, Agent Carter, Jessica Jones and DC Legends of Tomorrow, as well as the introduction of Luke Cage, Iron First, The Defenders and two X-Men related shows. Then there’s the rumoured Punisher spin-off. Oh, nearly forgot, there’s Gotham as well.
