Is 2022 going to be the biggest year yet for superhero movies? According to Fandango's annual moviegoer survey for the most anticipated movies of next year: Absolutely!
EW is taking a look at the yearly fan survey, revealing 2022's buzziest films — and all the top picks are superhero/comic book adaptations and sequels. According to more than 6,000 of Fandango's December ticket buyers, superhero fatigue definitely hasn't set in yet.
The No. 1 film these moviegoers are most excited to see next year is the Black Panther sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, followed by the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse sequel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Following the top two are The Batman starring Robert Pattinson and the MCU's new Thor movie Thor: Love and Thunder.
Plus, movie fans are excited to get back to seeing these big-budget action films on the big screen after the past two years of the pandemic, with 94 percent of those surveyed wanting to go to the theater more often in 2022 than they did in 2021. 80 percent are hoping to see five or more movies on the big screen in 2022, and 70 percent are planning to see movies in premium large-screen formats whenever possible. The movies are back, baby!
