2013...we potentially will have Star Trek into Darkness, Iron Man 3, Pacific Rim, The Wolverine, Kick-Ass 2, Thor: The Dark World, Man of Steel, RED 2, Elysium, Oblivion, 300: Rise of an Empire, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, Riddick, Smurfs 2, and I, Frankenstein. Some look to be excellent, others I haven't heard much about. But all have the potential to be magical films that take the viewer on an imaginative journey...with the exception of the Smurfs of course. But this post isn't about the movies of 2013...I'm looking further ahead into the future of some of the most gigantic franchises in history to reveal upcoming rumors about their shared movie universes and confirmed announcements about their upcoming films.
