Three movies coming to theaters beginning in December feature actors known for their big-budget blockbuster superhero performances.  But this time they’re taking a more dramatic turn, with stories based on true events and heroics outside the realm of superheroes.

In the stylish trailer for the movie The Banker, it’s a new Marvel character team-up with Falcon actor Anthony Mackie and Nick Fury actor Samuel L. Jackson bringing in the X-Men movie franchise’s Beast, actor Nicholas Hoult, to change the face of banking and real estate in 1950s Los Angeles.

Just Mercy stars Black Panther and Creed’s Michael B. Jordan and Academy Award winner and Captain Marvel herself Brie Larson, opposite actors from the other side of the Marvel movies The Amazing Spider-Man 2 actor and Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx and The Incredible Hulk‘s Tim Blake Nelson in a story about justice on Alabama’s death row.

Burden stars Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker (Black Panther’s Zuri and Rogue One’s Saw Gerrera) as a preacher and Garrett Hedlund (Sam Flynn in Tron: Legacy) in a story about racial divisions in 1990s South Carolina.

Check out these trailers:

The Banker arrives in theaters December 6, 2019.  Look for Just Mercy in theaters January 10, 2020.  And Burden arrives in theaters February 28, 2020.
