Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

When Marvel first announced they were turning an obscure comic of a “ragtag” team of intergalactic do gooders, a team made up of a raccoon-like creature and an tree looking alien no less, into a $200 million film, everyone called them foolish. Calling it the biggest flop ever. Then $775 million receipts later, everyone knew this was actually the start of a new and successful franchise. We can’t wait for May 5th when everyone’s new, favorite superhero Chris Pratt reprises his role as Peter “Star-Lord” Quill and the rest of the lovable crew hits theaters.

The sequel already came out in theaters on February 10 but if you haven’t seen it yet, get ready for more gore, more action, and plenty more hitman Keanu Reeves. The recipe for a great movie, wouldn’t you say?

Justice League

With a super (pun intended) cast starring Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Henry Cavill, and Ezra Miller, we can barely wait for November 17 to come round! Justice League will start off a few months after Batman v Superman, inspired by Superman’s sacrifice for humanity, Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince bring together a team of metahumans in order to battle a new, dangerous threat on Earth.

The Dark Tower

On July 28, the Stephen King novel will grace the big screen. In this case though, The Dark Tower film is taking on a different approach to the King novel, what the differences are between, we can’t say as its being kept under wraps. However it’s safe to say, that with the casting of Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey, it’ll be nothing short of wonderful.

Wonder Woman

An age old classic but with a new twist. The story follows an American pilot, Steve Trevor, who crashes on the island of Themyscira, and he explains to Diana Prince about the world war raging in his own land, Diana chooses to leaves her home to help stop the war and ultimately becomes Wonder Woman. June 2 is the date to mark to watch Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, and Robin Wright electrify the screen.

Ghost in the Shell

Come March 31st, Rupert Sanders’ adaptation of the ever popular Masamune Shirow manga series comes to life. Despite world wide criticism over the fact that Sanders cast choice of Scarlett Johansson as the main heroine, the Mayor; we can expect that many will come see the film anyways, Johansson knows how to draw a crowd. Besides, Sanders and Johansson were both honored with an in-person blessing from the original creators of the story.

Dunkirk

Get to theaters on July 27 to catch the British-French-American action thriller of Dunkirk. This tale follows the perverse Dunkirk evacuation during World War Two, starring Tom Hardy and former ‘One Directioner’ Harry Styles.

Sniff sniff, the day has arrived. After 18 years, Logan is Hugh Jackman’s last portrayal of his X-Men character, Wolverine. If you haven’t been to theaters yet, we recommend you do, it came out on March 3 and all we know is, it’s explosively mesmerizing.

Beauty And The Beast

Watch as the colony ship crew discovers a land more dangerous then they ever imagined. Especially when they stumble upon the “synthetic” David, a survivor from the previous ‘Prometheus’ expedition. WHOA.

Kong: Skull Island

The cast alone is reason enough to want to watch this film, Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, and John Goodman. Yup, and if you were in theaters on March 8 then you already know what’s next. The producers have changed the dynamic of the typical Kong film by embellishing and building up the personal stories of the characters in order to make them far more relatable. And obviously, the graphics are going to be unreal.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter may have come out in theaters back on January 27th, but come on, if you haven’t see it yet, you’re desperately missing out. Five years ago Resident Evil: Retribution flooded our screens, and only ~now~ is Milla Jovovich returning to finish the chapters.

The Great Wall

Zhang Yimou’s historical fantasy, The Great Wall, came out in theaters on February 17 and it was a sight to see. Producers did draw criticism when Matt Damon was cast as the lead in what should have been an entirely eastern plot, although plenty of people came out to to watch a zombie apocalypse. And that’s all we’ll say on the matter.

Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

It’s here! It’s here. After many years of back and forth with script and budget problems, the fifth installment of the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise is hitting theaters on May 26.

Director Matt Reeves makes a return and is picking up where Dawn of the Planet of the Apes left off. Andy Serkis makes a return as the apes’ leader, Caesar, and is joined by Steve Zahn (a new ape) and Woody Harrelson (known as the Colonel) is apparently the villain. Moreover, Reeves also helped to co-write the script but is keeping the story-line under wraps. You know where to find me on July 14.
