2 January 2021
Without Wonder Woman or Black Widow to shade them, these superheroes have conquered our screens – and our hearts!
Wonder Woman 100 , Black Widow, The Eternals … Between badass vigilantes and new superhero team, Marvel Studios and the Warner Bros. had prepared an excellent program for us for 1984. But with the health crisis, their entire release schedule has been revised, and they preferred to postpone these blockbusters to next year. To our great misfortune, of course! Fortunately, we were able to console ourselves with films and series in which we would not necessarily be interested in normal times. Find out below which are these vigilantes who pulled out the game!
Project Power , one of the most successful Netflix original films on the streaming platform in 2020. The pitch is a world where you can become a superhero thanks to a miracle pill, calm down. Well, there is still a quack, since this capsule gives you a completely random power, and in addition, the result is not always up to the task! Between the main actors, Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the humor very present and the rhythmic action, there is something to have a good time. It's up to you to make up your own mind if you haven't already!

Mutants will soon be part of the MCU, Fox having been bought by Disney, but for now they exist in a world of their own! Even if they did not make sparks in the last film of the franchise, the absence of competition with other superheroes in the theaters allowed these vigilantes to succeed. be up to the first X-Men or X-Men Le Commencement , The New Mutants ensures the show thanks to its horrific atmosphere and its tortured characters. Alas, knowing that there will never be a sequel spoils the fun a little!

Desperate to keep their juicy contracts with Vought, the Seven commit the worst atrocities behind the scenes, while putting on the air of little saints in public. Luckily, Billy Butcher and his gang are there to put a damper on them. Not sure that's enough, considering the number of murders and crimes committed in the first two seasons! These vigilantes who are actually real bad guys have fascinated us by 1984, and we can't wait for them to come back to 2020.

Say “Hi” to Vin Diesel in Risen Warrior Mode! In Bloodshot , the star of the Fast and Furious saga slips into the skin of a soldier assassinated then brought back to life by a company specializing in cybernetics. By the way, this marine obtains powers worthy of a Superman, such as regeneration and metamorphosis. Well, we're not going to lie to each other, it's far from a masterpiece, but it's entertaining! And the year 1984 being rather poor in super films -heroes, we can't afford to be choosy.
If you also love actress Charlize Theron, you must have loved The Old Guard . After popping the screen in Mad Max Fury Road , the actress was back in this Netflix original film as a badass immortal. The plot follows her and other characters unable to die on a mission that spans several centuries. Their goal ? Protect humanity by acting behind the scenes to prevent disasters. Obviously, a bad guy is after their powers, and they'll have to fight body and soul to not get captured. Verdict: captivating!
