Upcoming Comic Book Movies That Are Not From Marvel or DC
By Dan Dubon | June 2, 2022
Here is the list for the upcoming comic book movies (non Marvel or DC) that are scheduled to release soon. These movies have a lot of talents attached to each project, from acclaimed Directors like David Fincher (Fight Club, Se7en) to Writers like Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman).
Samaritan
Release Date: August 26, 2022
Slyvester Stallone is no stranger to being an action hero but he’ll finally be able to play a superhero when Samaritan hits screens August of this year. The film follows A young boy that learns that a superhero who was thought to have gone missing after an epic battle twenty years ago may in fact still be around.
Secret Headquarters
Release Date: August 5, 2022
From the directors of Nerve and Project Power comes Secret Headquarters, a fresh take on the superhero genre that follows a young boy who discovers a Secret Headquarters below his home that belongs to a superhero. Owen Wilson and Walker Scobell lead the cast. It’s expected to release in August of this year.
The Killer
Release Date: TBA
Believe or not David Fincher’s next film is based on a graphic novel of the same name. The plot follows An assassin who begins to psychologically crack as he develops a conscience, even as his clients continue to demand his skills. Michael Fassbender leads the cast. The film is expected to be a Netflix original.
The Crow
Currently In Production
The Crow is one of those movies that have been in development longer than most of us have been alive. The development history goes back a number of years with actors such as Bradley Cooper, Luke Evans and Jason Momoa attached to the role at different points. Well now it finally appears to be actually happening with Rupert Sanders in the director’s chair and Bill Skarsgard playing Eric Draven. Let’s hope this long in development reboot will finally see the light of day.
The Toxic AvengerRelease Date: TBA
The Toxic Avenger has the potential to be one of the weirdest comic book properties ever to be put to screen. It will be a reboot of the 1982 film and follows a A meek towel boy who transforms into a powerful superhero after getting dumped into a vat of toxic waste. Peter Dinklage and Kevin Bacon lead the cast.
The Old Guard Sequel
Release Date: TBA
One of Netflix’s better action movies in recent memory has been The Old Guard based on the graphic novel of the same name and with Charlize Theron leading the cast. A Sequel is in pre-production at Netflix.
HarbingerCurrently In Production
Originally supposed to be a part of the Valiant Cinematic Universe that Bloodshot with Vin Diesel tried to kickstart. Now the movie has moved to Paramount with Wes Ball (The Maze Runner Trilogy) stepping in the director’s chair. The film follows a group of teens with superpowers who go up against the corporation that tried to exploit their talents.
SpawnIn Development
A movie that had been in development hell for forever is Spawn with Todd Mcfarlane in the director’s chair and dead set to bring an edgier version of the character to the big screen. Blumhouse is behind this one. Jamie Foxx and Jeremy Renner were attached at one point but probably left the project by this point.
BRZKKRIn Development
Keanu Reeves made his comeback with John Wick and now he’s set to jump into the superhero genre too. A movie based on the comic of the same name is in development at Netflix with Reeves playing an Unkillable Warrior. I can’t wait.
NemesisIn Development
This long in development project was originally supposed to be directed by Tony Scott, then Joe Carnaghan and now Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman are attached. The film will follow an engineer who witnesses the president commit a deadly crime and teams up with a vigilante to take down the president. Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman) wrote the script.
