2017 will see a homecoming.
2017 is the seventeenth year of the 21st century. It started on a Sunday and has a total of 365 days because it is not a Leap Year. It is the 17th year of the 3rd millennium, and the 8th year of the 2010s decade. In film, there are several movies released in 2017 based on comic book properties. Spider-Man: Homecoming was slated for a July release. It is the third reboot of the franchise, and the first Spider-Man film to take place in the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is one of three movies within the MCU released in 2017, the others being, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in May, and Thor: Ragnarok, which was scheduled for a December release. Spider-Man: Homecoming, Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor: Ragnarok are three of four films released based on Marvel Comics properties. The third is Logan, which is the third Wolverine solo film, set within the always changing continuity of the X-Men film series. It is said to be the final project in the franchise for actors Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart.
The DC Extended Universe continues to grow as well with the very first theatrically released live-action Wonder Woman feature film, which is the fourth film in the DCEU continuity. The folks at Warner Bros. haven't forgotten about those other DC Comics heroes though. The LEGO Batman Movie made its way to the big screen before Wonder Woman in February, 2017.
Oh, what's that? You want Jedi? Well, fans of the Star Wars mythos had to wait nearly the entire year to get their fix of the big-screen epic, with Star Wars Episode VIII blasting and saber-slashing its way into theaters in December.
