When looking at the Sweet Sixteen, you might notice that there are a lot of high seeds.  The lowest surviving seed is a 6 seed.  It will be interesting to see if there are any upsets in this round.  And here's a breakdown of the remaining teams: 9 MCU movies, 4 X-Men movies, 2 Dark Knight movies, 1 DCEU movie.  Yes, the bracket is full of Marvel movies.  Can they continue to advance?  You may also notice that there's not a single Spiderman movie left.  That's a little shocking considering how many there have been.  Now, let's take a more detailed look.

1 The Dark Knight vs 4 Avengers: Age of Ultron
I still think The Dark Knight is the favorite, but it could have a tough time against Age of Ultron.  The way the MCU movies have performed has been impressive.  Ultron was fun, but has its issues.  Dark Knight blew people away, though.  It should advance.

2 Deadpool vs 6 X2: X-Men United
Deadpool continues to advance easily.  I still don't get it.  X2 is one of the two remaining 6 seeds.  It was the best of the original X-Men trilogy.  However, I don't see it advancing any further because Deadpool has been a powerhouse.

1 Iron Man vs 4 Logan
I'm predicting an upset here.  As good as Iron Man was, people love Wolverine.  And Logan was a great conclusion to Wolverine's story.  It will be close, but I think Logan advances.

2 Guardians of the Galaxy vs 6 Black Panther
Guardians was great and absolutely refreshing.  Black Panther has taken the world by storm recently.  It's a shame one of these movies has to lose.  I think this will be a very close matchup, but I predict that Guardians will advance.

1 The Avengers vs 4 X-Men: Days of Future Past
The first Avengers movie showed just how great a superhero team up movie could be.  But Days of Future Past took the best X-Men storyline and made it a great movie.  My heart is with the X-Men, but I think Avengers will win.

2 Wonder Woman vs 3 Thor: Ragnarok
The last remaining DCEU movie was by far the best one.  And it has a chance to continue advancing.  The third Thor was the most successful of the trilogy, but I don't think it has enough to take down Wonder Woman.

1 The Dark Knight Rises vs 4 Captain America: Winter Soldier
The Dark Knight Rises barely survived the second round matchup against Thor.  That doesn't bode well for another matchup against an MCU movie.  I think another 1 seed goes down in this matchup.

2 Captain America: Civil War vs 3 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Civil War was basically another Avengers movie and it introduced Black Panther and Spiderman to the franchise.  Guardians 2 continued the most fun franchise in the MCU.  This one should be close, but I think Civil War wins setting up an all Captain America regional final.

And now here's what the bracket looks like.
