How to Create a Superhero Movie Trilogy

Last Updated: January 7, 2021

Fancy yourself as an at-home filmmaker and enthused by the idea of creating a superhero movie trilogy? Provided you already have a basic knowledge of making a movie, then you can started on planning your superhero trilogy right away!

Steps

1
Create and design unique superheroes and villains first. Don't copy Spider-Man or any other superheros because this isn't very original and if you do happen to strike it really lucky and make a film good enough for the independent film market, you will want something very original to capture peoples' imagination.
2
Write down the characteristics of your heroes and villains and consider all the things that make them supernatural and other elements:
- Create special powers - make sure it isn't as basic as just being able to fly.
- Consider where they live - on Earth or somewhere else
- Will there be one superhero or a group?
- Choose names, clothes and special features.

Plan the trilogy carefully. On a piece of paper or computer, put together a plan of your trilogy ideas:
- Start with the first movie. You might wish to make it about the hero getting his or her super powers and having fun with them for a while until the villain shows up.
- Second movie. This might be about the hero's personal life (love, money, violence etc.) and a character (villain) interfering with it.
- Third movie. In this one, you will probably wish to create a climactic showdown with the toughest and most powerful villain that your superhero has to face.

Avoid creating a brand new spider-man or superman because you can be accused for plagiarizing.
