In almost every show featuring a team of heroes, at some point in the opening or promotional materials, the main characters will be displayed in a certain formation. The leader stands in the middle of the shot, with the rest of the team standing to each side of him in order of importance, each slightly behind each other, forming a "V" shape.
Quite apart from looking really cool, this shot also has practical advantages. For one thing, it makes all the characters neatly visible, but more importantly, the viewer can and will make inferences about the group's power dynamic based on the arrangement of the characters. The characters flanking the central figure on either side will be assumed to be the two second most important team members, with others descending in importance as they move further toward the tips of the V and thus further back into the shot. (To be clear, it's not a hard and fast rule that every V formation shot will adhere to this formula, but the viewer's expectation is definitely there. The designer of the shot will have taken that expectation into account, even if they intend to subvert it.) Also, though this is less of a given, information might be conveyed by whether a character is standing to the central figure's left or right side. The left and right sides may represent different subgroups of the team, or indeed two separate (but probably not worse than rivaling) factions altogether.
They put it on DVD boxes, magazine covers, book covers, game covers and album covers too. However, in movie covers there is a risk that the center lead will be replaced by the most famous name, whether they are the leader or not.
Most characters will pull off a Dynamic Akimbo in this shot. The moving version of this is Team Power Walk. Subtrope of Team Shot (also compare that trope) and Opening Credits Cast Party, where the cast poses for the cameras during the credits and the Establishing Team Shot.

An in-universe example is mentioned in Worm when Taylor first meets Armsmaster. Taylor mentions that when the Protectorate does promotional footage displaying their team in this pose, Armsmaster is one of the members shown — but as one of the people off to the side.

A chapter in the Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony manga has the student council attempting to do this, but they realize they can't put their leader, Angie, in front without the formation being lopsided. Kokichi suggests they rectify it by disassembling Kiibo, much to the robot's chagrin.

The trope was originally named after Justice League, whose main characters are seen silhouetted in this manner in the opening, combined with a Team Power Walk. The Justice League Unlimited series takes the shot and the silhouettes to an extreme level — from the Magnificent Seven to the Magnificent Thirty-Seven.
A villainous example where a similar shot is made by the Secret Society with Grodd at the center.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl (and Platinum), when you beat the Elite Four, you go into the backroom and record your team into the hall of fame. After going through a montage showing each of your team members, it shows a V Formation Team Shot, with your trainer sprite in the center, and three Pokémon flanking you on either side. Their order depends on what order you had them in your party. The remakes Heart Gold and Soul Silver also feature this with the photographers around the game map, who'll take a picture of you and your team of six Pokémon in such a shot.

Doctor Who
The fiftieth anniversary special "Day of the Doctor" closes on this shot of the past incarnations of the Doctor,◊ with the Eleventh Doctor front and center, immediately flanked by Ten and the War Doctor. The First Doctor stands behind the Eleventh, mainly to maintain symmetry.
In "Eve of the Daleks", the Doctor has just finished giving a Rousing Speech when the Daleks turn up to exterminate them. This time there are three Daleks in the form of a V, and our heroes defiantly move into their own V formation in response.

Let's Go Kamen Rider: since there were 28 Riders present, they couldn't do a traditional V-formation (since the formation requires an odd number), so they pulled off two layers: the movie's five central Riders Den-O, New Den-O, OOO, and V1 and V2, with the 23 cameo Riders behind them.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex subverts this by putting a unique spin. The opening for 2nd Gig shows Section 9 against a white background with Motoko in the center and the other members on either side, but everyone is lined up and spaced apart instead of standing in a V formation. Pixiv even has a special tag for artworks that parody the 2nd Gig opening called "攻殻立�" (Strike).

Red Dead Redemption 2 has two moments with this. The first is when the Dutch Van Der Linde gang storms the Braithwaite manor after the Braithwaite family kidnap Jack. And the second goes to when Arthur, Sadie, Charles, Dutch, and some Wapiti warriors storm the US Army settlement to rescue Eagle Flies.

Dissidia Final Fantasy:
The opening CG has the ten villains walking out of a wall of lava in a villainous V Formation Team Shot.
With a bonus Mythology Gag in Sephiroth assuming the same pose as when he burned down Nibelheim in his original game.

Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs Dai-Shocker:
It has a 27-man Justice League shot featuring almost every Kamen Rider protagonist to date.
The end of the first act of Final Chapter has the Heisei Riders (all in their Super Modes), plus Diend and Kivala, in this pose, before the Neo-Organism sics a Mammoth mecha on them.
