Now this is what I want from a superhero picture: inspirational and optimistic.
And Krypto!!!
It's looking like 2025 is going to be a great year for superhero films, but, truth be told, I have no particular interest in seeing Marvel's pair of military-fetish offerings - Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts* - at the cinema.
I can comfortably wait for the Blu-Rays (or Disney Plus release) of those.
However, then we get to July and it's a double-hit of my favourites getting (hopefully) the treatment they deserve.
First we have James Gunn's Superman on July 11 (my favourite character in DC Comics) and then on July 25 The Fantastic Four: First Steps (my favourite superhero team finally earn their place in the MCU).
I rarely go the cinema these days (I think the last time was in late 2023 to see The Marvels), but I really feel as though July is going to see a couple of carpe diem days as I really need to see both these pictures on the silver screen.
As bleak as the world is probably going to be by then, these two films should prove the ultimate fillip in the dark days ahead.
