No surprise here, but The Avengers: Endgame tops a list of most anticipated movies to be released in 2019, which beats out Star Wars: Episode IX.
Of course, it should be said that no footage from Episode IX has been released as of yet (and the title hasn’t been made known – though it is rumored), which certainly plays a factor in Fandango’s results, as Captain Marvel comes in as the #2 overall most anticipated movie of 2019 followed by Star Wars: Episode IX at #3.
Fandango polled 3500 moviegoers and questioned them on their most anticipated movie, anticipated actor and actress, rising male and female movie star, most anticipated new standalone comic book movie, animated movie and horror/thriller.
Disney crushes the most anticipated movie list as it has 8 out of ten flicks listed. Fox’s X-Men: Dark Phoenix is not on the list, but is on the most anticipated comic book movie list.
There looks to be some excitement for the Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie as it comes in as #2 for comic book movies.
Tom Hanks, interestingly enough, tops the list of the most anticipated actor, as Hanks has Toy Story 4 and The Mr. Rogers movie coming out. Hanks even beats out the Marvel heavyweights Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans.
Topping the most anticipated actress list is Captain Marvel Brie Larson followed by Scarlet Johansson, Daisy Ridely, Karen Gillan and Margot Robbie.
