By Josh Wilding - 8/3/2012
As you already know, next year kicks off with Iron Man 3, and the third instalment of the franchise (this time directed by Shane Black) is set to feature fan favourite elements from the comics, such as the "Extremis" armour and 'The Mandarin'. Next up? Superman's eagerly anticipated return to the big screen in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel. After the disappointing Superman Returns in 2006, this looks set to be the film fans have always wanted. Another superhero who makes ha return after a disappointing outing, is The Wolverine, starring Hugh Jackman back as Logan. X-Men Origins: Wolverine was a terrible film, but the Japan set sequel (helmed by 3:10 To Yuma's James Mangold) will hopefully wash away the bad taste left by that prequel. We finish off the year with Alan Taylor's Thor: The Dark World, in which it was recently revealed that we will see Christopher Eccleston as the villainous Malekith The Accursed. When we asked you which of the above films you're most looking forward to seeing on the big screen, it was the return of Superman which clearly has the majority of you wishing 2012 would just hurry up and end already. Of course, it's worth bearing in mind that Man of Steel is the only film we've seen any sort of teaser trailer for (not that it exactly revealed anything too exciting) so whether these results will differ as we get closer to 2013 remains to be seen...

i am honestly looking forwards to everything except wolverine
ekrolo2 - 8/3/2012, 7:09 AM
Wow Man of Steel is number 1, I thought Iron Man 3 was going to win in a land slide. Guess the teaser impressed people.
Anthrax - 8/3/2012, 7:09 AM
wolverine is really starting to get my attention
dahamma - 8/3/2012, 7:10 AM
@Campblood me too,

We seen Iron Man and Thor done right, im sure there sequels are gonna be magnificent!!

But it is TIME....TIME for the Man of Steel, as the Grandaddy of all heroes, to be done RIGHT for a new generation!!! Totally hyped for it!!
RyanLantern77 - 8/3/2012, 7:11 AM
Wolverine is gonna suck. Jackman is a terrible actor
dahamma - 8/3/2012, 7:11 AM
Btw, I have no hype nor probably wont have any for wolverine, Im kinda sick of what Fox has done with X men. On screen they've become kinda boring to me.
RyanLantern77 - 8/3/2012, 7:11 AM
Man of steel will rock
teabag - 8/3/2012, 7:13 AM
superheroes batman superman - Well, I Could Use Some Context

Sounds about right ..MOS is number one for me :)
SuperSomething616 - 8/3/2012, 7:13 AM
Why wasnt there an option for everything?
Unas - 8/3/2012, 7:14 AM
The ONLY movie I've ever liked Jackman in is The Prestige.
Tainted87 - 8/3/2012, 7:14 AM
I've concluded that the only way I'll be able to enjoy seeing Wolverine is to think it is going to be a movie NOT about Wolverine. I've learned that from The Dark Knight Rises.

This was pretty obvious. Man of Steel has Snyder, an actor who looks like Kal-El, and promises ACTION. He'll actually throw a punch!
Sortis - 8/3/2012, 7:16 AM
I voted Man of Steel, normally it would've been Wolvie or Iron Man, but honestly i'm eager to see where this movie goes and how it does, I think the sole fate of a Justice League movie is on it's shoulders, if it flops like Green Lantern did, then we will be waiting a lot longer for a JL movie a LOT longer...and it will be some indication on the over all tonality of the rest of the DC movies that follow it.
valeriesghost - 8/3/2012, 7:16 AM
I'm probably looking forward to IM3 the least. Not because I did t love te avengers and IM1 (2 was okay), but because Ive seen it before. I felt the same about TDKR. Just wasn't as excited. Loved the movie, and I'm sure I'll enjoy IM3, but not a big deal for me until probably a week or 2 before its released.


Superman though, I've never been this excited for a movie before period.
And Wolverine I think will be great. The [frick]ed up too much in the first, I hope and think this one will redeem the franchise.
TheDetectiveComicRises - 8/3/2012, 7:17 AM
I am grateful to be an extra in Iron Man 3 but I must say I look forward to The Man of Steel more than any other next year :)
Linta - 8/3/2012, 7:19 AM
Iron Man 3 and Man of Steel
teabag - 8/3/2012, 7:19 AM
Including Avengers ive seen Iron Man in 3 movies over the past 4 yrs...so my excitment is the lowest for IM3, the only thing keeping me slightly interested in that movie is Black

Wolverine might be ok...but yeah we need to move on from the character

Im not sure what to expect from MOS so far so im looking forward to it...apart from Costner ...i expect a wig :)
TheBigBoss917 - 8/3/2012, 7:19 AM
Tony Stark flying around and getting his house destroyed again hmmm yeah so excited, Man of Steel is of course the way to go.
ImnotDaredevil - 8/3/2012, 7:20 AM
@tea. That is pure gold.
teabag - 8/3/2012, 7:23 AM
Hellfire@ The same thing happened to me..but they they were pointing at the Mrs :)

Imnot@ Nothing like a finger blast :)

:)
PaulRom - 8/3/2012, 7:23 AM
Definitely Man Of Steel. Though Iron Man 3 sounds fantastic and the other two CBMs sound great.
teabag - 8/3/2012, 7:23 AM
Val@ Agreed :)
NeoBaggins - 8/3/2012, 7:24 AM

Sortis said it best
Angelus - 8/3/2012, 7:31 AM
Next year is a great year for comicbookmovies! Man of Steel is my most anticipated film next year, followed by Iron-Man 3 and Thor 2. I really don't care about Wolverine for some reason beyond me. Anyways, it's gonna be awesome!
DocBeez - 8/3/2012, 7:33 AM
Crazy that we'll have back to back years of CBM awesomeness. 6 straight highly anticipated movies that began with Avengers. We are lucky.
teabag - 8/3/2012, 7:34 AM
I wanna see a differant side to Superman to the one we are used to so far

chikeizelcav - 8/3/2012, 7:35 AM
its not even like man of steel is gonna be that great. its just that we know all of the Marvel movies are going to be good so were just hoping DC gets superman right like they did with Batman
Seejay - 8/3/2012, 7:37 AM


Looking forward to them all.

ImnotDaredevil - 8/3/2012, 7:39 AM
I always look forward to any comic book adapt. Sometimes my patcience is rewarded, sometimes it's superman returns!
teabag - 8/3/2012, 7:39 AM
bat@ lol :P

ImnotDaredevil - 8/3/2012, 7:40 AM
@intruder. Not where I live you wouldn't !
ImnotDaredevil - 8/3/2012, 7:41 AM
Aghhhh. My eyes!!!!
gasmasquerade - 8/3/2012, 7:45 AM
Zack Snyder has already given us the new iconic Superman image with that single frame. Look at that picture. Goosebumps glorious. Man of Steel is the one I am itching to see.
Nubase - 8/3/2012, 7:48 AM
when l saw tdkr in imax in the UK there were 3 trailers before the movie which was Skyfall, Man of Steel and the Hobbit and the trailer which surprised everyone was Man of Steel, l knew about it cos of this site but for the majority of people who did not know about it got exicted.

i just hope it delivers but with nolan, goyer and zack directing it l'm sure it will.
Nubase - 8/3/2012, 7:49 AM
But l also hope the wolverine delivers too, he has been tamed for too long, its time for him to go berserk!
Mendenhall12 - 8/3/2012, 7:52 AM
Man of Steel is what I voted for. Nut, I'm looking forward to Iron Man 3 also. Thor 2 not so much.
blvdnoise - 8/3/2012, 7:53 AM
MOSFTW! Second for me is probably The Wolverine. They know folks are mad about the last one and I think they just might give us something this time around.
Nomis1800 - 8/3/2012, 7:53 AM
MAN OF STEEL!!!!!!

Now still hoping they shot some with IMAX :)
timotey - 8/3/2012, 7:55 AM
I'm looking forward to IM3 and Thor2. The rest? Eh. But the least? Wolverine. Wolverine1 was painfully bad.
spidey1994 - 8/3/2012, 7:57 AM
I'll only give a shit for The Wolverine if its rated R and is gory as [frick]. Man of Steel is probably my most anticipated, but I pumped for Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World!
Fogs - 8/3/2012, 8:00 AM
Yeah, MoS is my most anticipated one.

Basically because aside from superman II I never liked any of the previous movies.

And knowing the character from the comics (I'm not a DC guy but I had my share of superman comics) you know it has never been justice to him on the silver screen.

That's my opinion, of course.
Fogs - 8/3/2012, 8:01 AM
@blackandyellow - yeah, that was one of humanity's really low points.
Rockstar96 - 8/3/2012, 8:01 AM
Can't wait for Man of Steel! ;)
gillri - 8/3/2012, 8:02 AM
man of steel for sure, im tired of silly marvel films

MoS will have gravitas and wont be tongue in cheek like marvels entire universe is
Godzillafart - 8/3/2012, 8:04 AM
I'm looking forward to every CBM of next year, in exactly the order in which this poll ranked them.
HarveyDent88 - 8/3/2012, 8:08 AM
Thor 2! Bord of Iron man now.
