Updated Marvel/DC/Fox Comic Book Film Timeline

Here's how the biggest entertainment news of 2015 affects the next five years.

Story by Matt Cummings

If you're feeling a little shell-shocked over the huge news about Spider-man finally joining the MCU, get in line. These days, comic book news is hitting us faster than a punch from The Flash and harder than The Hulk. With word reaching us about Spider-man, the entire Marvel release schedule has been upended, but it's also left a high-profile release completely off the list. Truth is, every Sony Pictures production of a Spider-man related property is now off the books, replaced with what appears to be a single universe shared between Sony and Marvel.

But, we'd be in error if we didn't mention that there's still other comic book universes out there, starting with your friends at DC. Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice is happening next year, and DC themselves are moving forward with a huge slate of films, both team-ups and individual stories. Meanwhile, Fox is moving ahead with its mutant franchise, recently inking a deal to bring Patrick Stewart to the upcoming Wolverine movie, and Ian McKellan will return in X-Men: Apocalypse.

So, how does recent news about Spider-man affect the 40-film timeline? We've updated (again) the list to reflect what we believe to be the correct slate of films, and have removed now-defunct projects like Drew Goddard's Sinister Six:

Naked Gun Reboot On It's Way

If you've seen Naked Gun - or The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad ! to give its full title - you'll know that it's a comedic masterpiece that springboards off astonishing levels of silliness and random spoofery. Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin is a loveable buffoon for the ages, even when he's discussing his dicky prostrate. Do not, however, expect the Ed Helms -starring reboot to adopt exactly the same tack. According to Naked Gun director/co-writer David Zucker, talking up Airplane!'s screening at Nashville's Wild West Comedy Festival, the new version will not attempt to hit the same spoofy sweet spot as the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams' 1988 comedy. "It won’t be like the Naked Gun that I did," Zucker revealed. "It may be good, but it won’t be that kind of movie. They’re going to use the title. They asked me if I wanted to produce. They’re nice people, but they don’t want to do that style of spoof that I do." One departure...
