Superhero movies are a genre of films that focus on the adventures of superheroes—characters with extraordinary powers, abilities, or skills who typically fight against villains and defend the innocent. These films often adapt stories from comic books, graphic novels, and other media, presenting narratives that highlight themes of heroism, justice, and morality.
The genre is characterized by spectacular visual effects, action sequences, and often incorporates elements of fantasy and science fiction. Superhero movies frequently feature a range of characters, including heroes, sidekicks, and antagonists, each with their own backstories and motivations. They can be standalone films or part of larger franchises or cinematic universes, where multiple characters and storylines intersect.
The popularity of superhero movies has surged since the early 2000s, leading to significant cultural impact and commercial success. Notable examples include films from Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and DC Extended Universe (DCEU), showcasing iconic characters like Spider-Man, Batman, and Wonder Woman. These movies not only entertain but also explore deeper social themes, resonating with diverse audiences worldwide.
