Hugh Jackman in Logan (2017)

10. Logan

Hugh Jackman is hanging up his claws, 17 years after he first played Wolverine in X-Men, and fans are clearly excited to see the character go out with a bang. A gritty trailer, which showed an older, broken version of Logan, certainly promises a darker and more violent take on the comic book favorite. Fans who have longed for a more R-rated portrayal of the mutant look set to get a satisfying swansong.

Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, and Dave Bautista in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

9. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Marvel scored a surprise hit withGuardians of the Galaxy, ranking third at the worldwide box office in 2014 with takings of more than $733 million. So anticipation is high for the return of Star Lord, Drax, Gamora, Rocket and Baby Groot. The first teaser trailerpromises more wild adventures in space with the same light-hearted approach that helped the first film achieve blockbuster status. And Baby Groot is already a leading contender for most adorable character of 2017.

8. The Fate of the Furious

The Fast franchise gets bigger with each instalment, with Furious 7 taking a staggering $1.52 billion at the worldwide box office in 2015.

The twist in the upcoming movie is that Vin Diesel’s character betrays his crew for a mysterious woman played by Charlize Theron. Something tells us there’ll be more than one U-turn in this story.
