These past few years have not been good to fans of superhero movies and TV shows. Sure, last year was alright, with the likes of Superman, Fantastic Four, and Thunderbolts* doing well, but their box office numbers were relatively disappointing, especially when compared to when the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) was at its peak with 2019’s Avengers: Endgame.

Well, Marvel is banking big on the Aven­­gers again this year, with the release of Avengers: Doomsday in December, while DC will be taking a chance on another member of the Super-Family, Supergirl. Maybe she’ll soar just as high as Kal-El did last year.
