Netflix has got in on the act a few times over the years through both original shows, movies, and adaptations of beloved comics. Whether you want something with plenty of wit, or a series that takes a dark spin on the genre, we’ve listed 10 of the best superhero shows and movies that you can stream right now on Netflix. 10 How I Became a Superhero Genre: Action, Adventure, Comedy Release Date: July 9, 2021 Director: Douglas Attal Cast: Pio Marmaï, Leïla Bekhti, Vimala Pons Language: French Watch on Netflix Based on Gérald Bronner’s novel, French action movie How I Became a Superhero is a gritty twist on the genre.

It’s got excellent action, shocking twists, and leaves fans desperate for more.

Set in an alternate, future version of New Orleans, we follow the trio as they fight against a pill that grants users 5 minutes of a randomly selected superpower. Superpowers are dangerous by definition, especially if they fall in the wrong hands — what happens if a terribly dangerous power is bestowed on a dangerous person? Project Power received mixed reviews on release. Critics praised the performances and action, but criticised the story for being predictable and cliche. 8 Source: https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/what-to-watch/10-best-superhero-series-and-movies-streaming-on-netflix/
