2018
Teen Titans GO! to the Movies
The gang wants to see a movie. Beast Boy attempts to secure tickets. Beast Boy actually secures tickets. The gang is attacked by…whatever. Giant pieces of sentient alien bread, maybe. Beast Boy loses the tickets. No one gets popcorn and faux-butter goo made from water, high-fructose corn syrup, and shoe leather.

Venom
It's curtains for the MCU's Stark-worshipping Spider-teen. Eventually. First, intrepid reporter Eddie Brock has to unravel the mystery regarding a rumored, sentient alien goo and the organization trying desperately to weaponize it. Hopefully, Eddie won't bond with it while fleeing assassins who positively detest nosy reporters with exaggerated New York accents.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Animated Feature
Spider-Man isn’t the only Spider-person in town – or, for that matter, the multiverse. Meet Miles Morales, a young person bestowed with Spider-Man’s powers and abilities. Unfortunately, the whole experience is a little overwhelming, so a little support – especially of the emotional variety – could go a long, long way. Thankfully, Peter Parker is here to help. And crack jokes. And help some more.
- Release Date: December 14, 2018
- Studio: Columbia Pictures, Sony, Marvel
- Director: Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman
- Cast: Shameik Moore as Miles Morales, Liev Schreiber as ‘we’re not sure yet’. Spider-Man, maybe? Mahershala Ali as Aaron Davis, and Brian Tyree Henry as Jefferson Davis.
Bumblebee
It's the year 1987, and Bumblebee is currently 'finding himself' in a junkyard. A prequel of sorts to Michael Bay's action-packed (maybe too action-packed) Transformers films, Bumblebee tells the story of a valiant Autobot and a struggling 18-year-old girl who just tripped over his exhaust pipe. Will they initially detest each other, grow to like each other, and eventually forge an unbreakable friendship? Probably. And Kenny Loggins will probably write the soundtrack.

Joker
Warner Bros. -- perhaps in the midst of employing a little damage control -- is creating movies separate from its shared universe. If you're a DC comic fan, you're well aware of the "Elseworlds" line existing outside of proper DC continuity -- a line allowing for original stories providing clever "what if" scenarios for classic DC characters. Anyway, this Joker film certainly falls in the Elseworlds box -- it's a gritty Joker origin story starring the always captivating Joaquin Phoenix as the titular eccentric gangster. Yes, early reports liken this film to a modern 'Taxi Driver,' so we might get a lot of grounded violent crime with just a hint of green hair and white make-up.
- Release Date: October 4, 2019
- Studio: WB
- Director: Todd Phillips
- Cast: Zazia Beetz, Joaquin Phoenix, Robert De Niro, Marc Maron

- Studio: WB
- Director: Patty Jenkins
- Cast: Gal Gadot
Star Wars: Episode IX
It's the final part of the third Star Wars trilogy! Will we finally discover Rey's parentage and completely ignore Kylo's obvious misinformation?
