When you’re stumped on finding the perfect look for Halloween, a superhero costume almost always saves the day. While there’s always the reliable last-minute Clark Kent get-up (think a basic Superman tee beneath a half-opened white button-down) — there’s also no shortage of inspiration from the recent lineup of releases from Marvel, DC Comics and many other pop culture franchises.
For starters, arriving in theaters soon is Black Adam (out Oct. 21), Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (out Nov. 11) and Shazam! 2 (Dec. 16), and other action-packed films and TV series that landed this year include Thor: Love and Thunder, Moon Knight, The Batman and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, to name just a few franchises that translate well into ensembles for trick-or-treating season.
Since not everyone is up to crafting their own epic cosplay ensemble worthy of Comic-Con, we’ve rounded up some of the best superhero Halloween costumes (including your favorite antiheroes) from across the cinematic universes. So whether you’re Star Wars superfan, a DC devotee, a Marvel maniac or a member of another fantastical fandom, check out the coolest Halloween costumes for women and men who want to channel their favorite heroines and heroes. (Bonus: Most of these should arrive in time for the spooky holiday.)
