Summary
- 2024 is a quiet year for comic book movies due to fewer releases from DC and MCU, making many releases more important as a result.
- Updates about the franchises have made some releases look especially important partway through the year.
- DC & MCU both have upcoming shows & movies that look set to change the face of their cinematic universes.
Halfway through 2024 and after several huge developments, many upcoming
DC and
MCU releases look especially important. 2024 is a sparse year for comic book movies compared to preceding years. This is thanks to the genre's two foremost franchises fielding the fewest movies in one year since their inception. For the MCU, this is largely thanks to the Writers' Strike of Summer 2023 impacting production schedules, though this also ties in with new release plans. Meanwhile, the DCEU timeline released its last movie at the tail-end of 2023 before 2024 acts as a buffer between it and the new DCU.
Nevertheless, many developments have occurred throughout 2024 that have significantly impacted the importance of upcoming releases. DC Studios is still releasing titles in 2024 that sit outside of the DCU narrative in both animation and live-action, while the MCU timeline still has some shows and its only cinematic release of 2024 on the cards. Here is how some of these releases and beyond have been shaped in the last 6 months.
