All Movies Coming Out in 2026: The Top 50+ Most Anticipated Releases

2026 is shaping up to be an exciting year for cinema, with studios lining up a wave of highly anticipated films across every major genre. From blockbuster sequels and beloved franchise returns to bold new originals, the movies coming out in 2026 promise unforgettable stories, stunning visuals, and major box office moments. In this toplist, we have rounded up more than 30 must-watch titles that film fans won’t want to miss.

1. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (January 16)

After nearly 18 years of waiting for a new chapter in Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later franchise, audiences didn’t have to wait long for another sequel following last year’s 28 Years Later. The latest film follows Spike, the fearless young protagonist played by Alfie Williams, as he becomes entangled with the Jimmys, the feral, tracksuit-clad gang briefly introduced at the end of the previous movie. Jack O’Connell leads the group as Jimmy, with Erin Kellyman as his trusted second-in-command, while Ralph Fiennes returns as a former doctor attempting to control an infected “Alpha” superhuman. Taking over directing duties from Boyle, Nia DaCosta brings a fresh perspective to the franchise’s brutal world.

2. The Moment (January 30)

After dominating pop culture with “Brat Summer” in 2024, Charli XCX is now turning that whirlwind moment into a cheeky, self-aware comedy. The film offers a metafictional take on life inside a pop-superstar frenzy, imagined as an “alternate history of the Brat era — if everything went wrong,” according to director and co-writer Aidan Zamiri, a longtime Charli collaborator. Alexander Skarsgård stars as a celebrated filmmaker hired to document the chaos, alongside Rachel Sennott, Kate Berlant, Rosanna Arquette, Jamie Demetriou, and Hailey Gates. With its bold premise and sharp satire, this one promises to hit audiences like a creative shock to the system.

3. Send Help (January 30)

Dylan O’Brien plays a toxic corporate boss who delights in humiliating his employees, while Rachel McAdams stars as the overlooked junior VP who’s usually the butt of his jokes. When a business trip goes horribly wrong and the two are stranded on a deserted island, the power dynamic flips as her unexpected survival skills take over. What begins as a twisted Cast Away setup quickly spirals into a brutal, horror-tinged revenge story — made even more enticing by the fact that it’s directed by Sam Raimi, the master behind The Evil Dead and Drag Me to Hell.

4. Pillion (February 6)

Colin, played by Harry Melling, is a painfully shy young man living a quiet suburban life in Southeast London, spending his days singing with a barbershop quartet. His world shifts when he meets Ray (Alexander Skarsgård), a charismatic, openly gay biker whose dominant confidence pulls Colin into unfamiliar emotional territory. Written and directed by Harry Lighton, this bold and subversive romantic comedy made waves at Cannes and quickly became a festival standout. With its provocative premise and sharp wit, the film promises a fresh, unconventional take on love, identity, and desire.

5. Scream 7 (February 6)

Given the behind-the-scenes turmoil, creative shakeups, and high-profile departures, it’s surprising that this long-running horror franchise even made it to a seventh installment. Still, the series appears to have regained its footing by bringing back key original voices, including Kevin Williamson, Neve Campbell, and Courteney Cox, with familiar faces like David Arquette, Matthew Lillard, and Scott Foley also reportedly involved. As expected, the story likely sees Sidney Prescott once again facing the return of Ghostface and the relentless cycle of terror that defines the franchise. At this point, fans know exactly what they’re signing up for and that’s part of the appeal.

6. Wuthering Heights (February 14)

Emily Brontë’s tragic tale of love and obsession returns with yet another adaptation of Wuthering Heights, this time under the direction of Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman, Saltburn). The film pairs two major stars as literature’s most infamous lovers: Jacob Elordi takes on the role of the brooding Heathcliff, while Margot Robbie brings gothic intensity to Cathy. With Fennell’s bold, provocative sensibility behind the camera and a cast built for maximum screen heat, this version promises a passionate, modern-leaning take on the classic — one that’s already generating serious buzz long before its first trailer drops.

7. EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (February 20)

While researching his Elvis biopic, Baz Luhrmann uncovered a trove of unseen footage from two early-1970s concert films — Elvis: That’s the Way It Is and Elvis on Tour hidden away in a Kansas salt-mine archive. The material ranges from electrifying performances to intimate, offstage moments, inspiring Luhrmann to craft a full documentary dedicated to the King of Rock & Roll. Epic in scope and ambition, the film debuts with a special IMAX run on February 20 before opening wide in theaters on February 27.

8. How to Make a Killing (February 20)

As a child, Beckett Redfellow was told he belonged to an ultra-wealthy dynasty, a family so powerful it makes the Rockefellers and Murdochs look modest by comparison. Cut off from his inheritance after his mother was disowned, Beckett grows up far from privilege, despite technically being seventh in line to the fortune. Years later, the now-ambitious Beckett (played by Glen Powell) decides he’s tired of waiting and begins accelerating the inheritance process by deadly means. With a sharp-edged premise and a stacked supporting cast including Margaret Qualley, Ed Harris, Topher Grace, Zach Woods, Bill Camp, and direction from Emily the Criminal filmmaker John Patton Ford, this dark thriller promises ruthless fun.

9. Man on the Run (February 27)

Paul was a kid from Liverpool who started a band with his friends and the rest is music history. But when the Beatles break up, the real question becomes: what does Paul McCartney do next? Morgan Neville’s documentary explores McCartney’s post-Beatles years, tracing his creative journey from his earliest solo recordings to the formation of Wings. Packed with insight and deep cuts, this film is a must-watch for devoted Macca fans, especially those who still swear by Ram and can sing every word of “Magneto and Titanium Man.”

10. The Bride! (March 6)

Maggie Gyllenhaal continues her bold directorial streak by reimagining The Bride of Frankenstein through her own twisted lens. Christian Bale stars as Frankenstein’s monster, who demands that his creator give him a companion — resulting in a bride played by Jessie Buckley, and the two quickly become partners in crime. Set in 1930s Chicago and styled like a vintage gangster film, the story unfolds as a Bonnie-and-Clyde-style crime spree, complete with musical numbers. With Buckley fully unleashed and a wild genre blend at play, this audacious take promises to be one of the most unhinged and unforgettable films of the year.

11. Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (March 6)

When audiences last saw Tommy Shelby, the Irish-Romani kingpin had burned down his home, severed ties to his past, and disappeared into the horizon. While Peaky Blinders ended with its sixth season, fans long hoped for a feature film to properly close the story and that wish has now been granted. Cillian Murphy returns as Shelby for one final reckoning, joined by familiar faces like Sophie Rundle and Stephen Graham, alongside new additions Barry Keoghan, Rebecca Ferguson, and Tim Roth. This long-awaited continuation promises to settle old scores and deliver a definitive farewell to the Peaky Blinders saga.

12. The Breadwinner (March 13)

Nate Bargatze is one of the biggest touring comedians in America right now, so a starring role in his own movie comedy felt inevitable. He plays an ordinary guy who becomes a stay-at-home dad after his wife (Mandy Moore) launches a new business — and quickly discovers he’s learning the job the hard way. Think of it as a modern-day Mr. Mom, powered by Bargatze’s dry wit and Southern charm. With a stacked supporting cast including Will Forte, Kumail Nanjiani, Kate Berlant, Colin Jost, and Severance standout Zach Cherry, this comedy looks primed for plenty of low-key laughs.

13. Project Hail Mary (March 20)

A middle-school science teacher played by Ryan Gosling is unexpectedly recruited by a government agent (Sandra Hüller) for a mission millions of light-years from Earth. With the sun and countless other stars mysteriously dying, humanity’s survival may depend on a single distant star immune to the cosmic collapse, and Gosling’s reluctant hero is the key to reaching it. Along the way, he encounters an alien made of rocks named Rocky. Judging by the trailer, this sci-fi adventure promises humor, heart, and plenty of Gosling-powered emotion.

14. Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (March 27)

The sharp, class-conscious horror hit from 2019 which saw Samara Weaving fighting for her life in a deadly game of hide-and-seek is getting a sequel. The follow-up finds Weaving’s battle-hardened “final girl” facing an even bigger threat, as multiple wealthy families unite to eliminate her and protect their ill-gotten fortunes. Making matters worse, her sister is pulled into the chaos, played by Kathryn Newton, one of today’s standout scream queens. With a stacked supporting cast that includes Sarah Michelle Gellar, David Cronenberg, Elijah Wood, Shawn Hatosy, and Kevin Durand, the sequel promises bigger kills, sharper satire, and even more mayhem.

15. The Drama (April 3)

Like most engaged couples, Charlie (Robert Pattinson) and Emma (Zendaya) feel a few pre-wedding jitters despite being deeply in love. But when a buried secret comes to light, their relationship and upcoming marriage spirals into crisis. Given writer-director Kristoffer Borgli’s track record of unsettling, darkly comic storytelling in Dream Scenario and Sick of Myself expectations are high for another sharp psychological satire. Backed by A24 and supported by a strong ensemble including Alana Haim, Mamoudou Athie, Zoë Winters, and Hailey Gates, this one feels destined to be as uncomfortable as it is compelling.

16. Normal (April 17)

Bob Odenkirk leans into his status as an unlikely late-career action hero in this taut thriller, playing a newly appointed sheriff in a quiet Minnesota town. What begins as a routine investigation into a bank robbery quickly pulls him into a sprawling criminal network, putting him at odds with locals who’d rather keep their illegal dealings hidden. With danger closing in from all sides, the lawman finds himself under siege. Directed by genre favorite Ben Wheatley, the film promises gritty tension and explosive confrontations.

17. Michael (April 26)

The revolving door of music biopics has finally arrived at Michael Jackson. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the film chronicles the life of the King of Pop amid considerable behind-the-scenes complexity. Casting Jafar Jackson as his uncle has been one of the project’s few largely uncontested decisions, while the film’s scope and portrayal have sparked ongoing debate involving the Jackson estate and various legal parties. How it all comes together will be up to audiences to decide when the movie hits theaters this April. Colman Domingo, Miles Teller, Derek Luke, Nia Long, and Larenz Tate round out the cast.

18. Mother Mary (Spring 2026)

Anne Hathaway stars as a global pop singer who reconnects with her former confidante and dressmaker (Michaela Coel) ahead of a new world tour. Fame and ambition have long driven a wedge between them, and their reunion quickly dredges up unresolved resentment along with hints of something far more sinister. Directed by David Lowery, this eerie blend of music, emotion, and the supernatural looks both stylish and deeply unsettling. The intrigue is heightened by original music from Charli XCX, FKA twigs, and Jack Antonoff, making the film one of the most curious genre-crossovers on the horizon.

19. Marc by Sofia (Spring 2026)

Sofia Coppola steps into documentary filmmaking with an intimate, unconventional portrait of her longtime friend Marc Jacobs. Produced by A24, the film follows the fashion icon over 12 weeks as he creates his Spring 2024 collection, offering a rare, unguarded look at his creative process. Premiering to positive buzz at the Venice Film Festival, the project promises a more impressionistic and personal take on the fashion documentary one that feels unmistakably Coppola rather than a standard behind-the-scenes profile.

20. The Adventures of Cliff Booth (2026)

Quentin Tarantino has penned a sequel to what many consider his crowning achievement, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood. Set in the 1970s, the story reportedly follows Brad Pitt’s effortlessly cool stuntman Cliff Booth, with Pitt returning to the role. Tarantino won’t be directing this time, saving his final film for entirely new territory but he’s handed the reins to none other than David Fincher. With that pairing alone, this sequel instantly becomes one of the most hotly anticipated films of 2026.

21. The Devil Wears Prada 2 (May 1)

For starters, it’s reassuring to know the Devil still has impeccable fashion sense. This long-awaited sequel to the beloved 2006 rom-com reunites Anne Hathaway with Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and the inimitable Stanley Tucci for another stylish dive into the cutthroat world of fashion publishing. The original creative team, director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna also returns, promising continuity in tone and wit. New faces joining the runway chaos include Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, Kenneth Branagh, Rachel Bloom, Sydney Sweeney, Lady Gaga, and even Donatella Versace herself. Now the real question is: will Miranda Priestly finally care about the details?

22. Hokum (May 1)

A haunted house film set in Ireland, starring Adam Scott (Severance)? Neon has our full attention. While details on the story, stakes, and scares are still tightly under wraps, writer-director Damian McCarthy (Caveat, Oddity) is at the helm, promising his signature blend of tension and unease. The studio, fresh off its wildly effective marketing for Longlegs, returns with another cryptic campaign, and the trailer does its job perfectly: teasing terror while revealing almost nothing.

23. Obsession (May 15)

The breakout hit of last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, Curry Barker’s debut feature offers a fresh twist on the classic “monkey’s paw” tale. Michael Johnston stars as a boy hopelessly smitten with Inde Navarrette’s character, who fears he’s trapped in the friend zone. In a desperate bid for love, he purchases a mysterious item from a curio shop — and his wish comes true, but far more recklessly than he ever imagined. Barker carefully builds the suspense, making the film’s eventual leap into chaotic, high-stakes territory all the more thrilling.

24. I Love Boosters (May 22)

Boots Riley is a writer, director, musician, and all-around creative force returns with a razor-sharp satire about a team of professional thieves in Oakland, led by Keke Palmer, taking on a ruthless fast-fashion CEO played by Demi Moore. Chosen as the opening night film at SXSW, it’s poised to thrill audiences ready for chaos and laughs. If it’s even a fraction as audacious as Riley’s 2018 debut Sorry to Bother You, fans are in for a wild ride. Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, LaKeith Stanfield, Will Poulter, Eiza González, and Poppy Liu round out the ensemble.

25. The Mandalorian and Grogu (May 22)

The Star Wars saga continues to expand beyond the films with this latest big-screen adventure spun out of The Mandalorian. Pedro Pascal returns as the masked interstellar gunfighter tasked with protecting a young, Yoda-like child — now earning top billing as Grogu. Joining the galaxy’s latest roster of heroes are Sigourney Weaver as a former rebel pilot leading the Adelphi Rangers, Jeremy Allen White as Rotta the Hutt, Jabba’s son, and Dave Filoni reprising his delightfully named X-wing pilot, Trapper Wolf. Fans of the series can expect epic battles, familiar faces, and plenty of Force-filled thrills.

26. It Ends (2026)

This indie-horror standout from writer-director Alexander Ullom made waves on the 2025 festival circuit with its eerie premise: a group of college students driving home finds themselves trapped on a literal road to nowhere. Quickly gaining traction on Letterboxd’s Video Store, the film’s reputation only grew, leading Neon to pick it up for distribution. Tense, unsettling, and cleverly executed, this debut is one of the most compelling genre entries in recent years and definitely worth a watch.

27. Over Your Dead Body (2026)

If you’ve followed the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast, you know that former SNL writer and Popstar co-director Jorma Taccone spent much of 2025 filming in Finland. Now, audiences can finally see the result: a darkly comedic remake of the 2021 Norwegian film The Trip. Jason Segel and Samara Weaving star as a couple on the brink of ending their relationship each secretly plotting to kill the other during a vacation. But when they’re suddenly taken hostage by criminals on the run, their carefully laid plans spiral into chaos. Juliette Lewis, Timothy Olyphant, and retired MMA fighter Keith Jardine round out the cast, adding even more mayhem to this twistedly funny story.

28. Master of the Universe (June 5)

Just because a toy line can spawn a film franchise doesn’t always mean it should — but Mattel is giving He-Man the full summer blockbuster treatment anyway. Nicholas Galitzine stars as the super-jacked prince who doubles as the galaxy’s savior, facing off against Jared Leto’s iconic villain Skeletor. Alison Brie plays the cunning Evil-Lyn, Idris Elba takes on Man-at-Arms, Morena Baccarin appears as a powerful sorceress, and Kristen Wiig lends her voice to Roboto, a high-tech robot ally. Whether you’re thrilled to see He-Man come to life or groaning at the concept, this star-studded adaptation is impossible to ignore.

29. Disclosure Day (June 12)

For months, Universal’s highly anticipated summer release was simply called the “Untitled Steven Spielberg UFO Movie,” and the idea of the legendary director behind Close Encounters of the Third Kind and War of the Worlds returning to the watch-the-skies genre had fans salivating. The film now has a title one that raises more questions than it answers and a teaser featuring Emily Blunt speaking in tongues that deepens the mystery. Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, Eve Hewson, and Wyatt Russell all appear, alongside what seem to be self-aware animals subtly nudging humans toward some cosmic revelation. But let’s be honest: you had us at “Spielberg UFO Movie.”

30. Toy Story 5 (June 19)

After experimenting with original stories, Pixar returns to familiar territory with another round of its beloved animated classic. Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of the gang now face a new challenge: their eight-year-old owner’s obsession with a smart tablet. Expect playful commentary on screen time, the impact of technology on children’s imaginations, and the timeless value of old-fashioned toys. Returning voice talent includes Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, John Ratzenberger, Tony Hale, Melissa Villaseñor, and Blake Clark, while newcomers Greta Lee, Conan O’Brien, Anna Faris, and Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters) add fresh energy to the mix.

31. Supergirl (June 26)

Fans of James Gunn’s DC movies may remember Milly Alcock’s cameo as Superman’s 23-year-old cousin Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl a cosmic hero with a taste for adventure (and the occasional party). She now takes center stage in the second film of Gunn’s DCEU reboot, inspired by Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Tasked by a teenager (Eve Ridley) to avenge her father’s death, Supergirl must face formidable foes while grappling with the weight of being one of the last Kryptonians. Jason Momoa swaps his gills for an interstellar biker look and a cigar as fan-favorite mercenary Lobo, and of course, Krypto the super-dog is back to save the day. Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya) directs this action-packed, humorous, and cosmic adventure.

32. The Odyssey (July 17)

After redefining the superhero genre, dominating mind-bending thrillers, and tackling epic biopics, Christopher Nolan returns to the source of all heroic tales: the classic epic journey. Matt Damon stars as Odysseus, king of Ithaca, navigating witches, sirens, and cyclops in a quest to reunite with his wife, Penelope (Anne Hathaway), after the Trojan War. True to Nolan form, the cast is stacked: Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland, Mia Goth, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, Elliot Page, Jon Bernthal, Samantha Morton, Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo, and more. In an IMAX-scale spectacle like this, the motto is simple: go big… or go Homer.
image

33. Moana (July 30)

Don’t ask if we really needed a live-action version of the 2016 Disney hit about a Polynesian girl who befriends a demigod the answer is obvious. What matters is that Disney made a fortune off its live-action Lilo & Stitch last year, and turning animated favorites into real-actor remakes is clearly here to stay. Catherina Laga’aia takes on the role of Moana, while Dwayne Johnson reprises Maui in full live-action glory. Adding to the excitement, Thomas Kail (Hamilton, Fosse/Verdon) directs, promising a visually bold and musically vibrant adventure.
image

34. Spider-Man: Brand New Day (July 31)

Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man swings back into action in another web-filled adventure packed with post-teen angst and the ever-important mantra: with great power comes great responsibility. Tom Holland reprises his role as the masked hero, with Zendaya returning as MJ. While plot details remain tightly under wraps, Mark Ruffalo joins as the Hulk, Jon Bernthal returns as the Punisher, and Michael Mando (Better Call Saul) introduces the legendary villain Scorpion to the MCU. Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink and Severance’s Tramell Tillman round out the cast in mysterious roles, promising plenty of surprises for fans.
image

35. The Christophers (2026)

How does Steven Soderbergh find time to sleep or does he sleep at all? After last year’s chilling ghost story Presence and the taut spy thriller Black Bag, the prolific director turns his attention to a cunning art heist. Ian McKellen stars as a legendary painter, with Michaela Coel playing his new assistant secretly hired by the artist’s heirs to steal, finish, and profit from his unfinished works after his death. As you might expect in a Soderbergh film, things quickly get complicated.

36. Exit 8 (2026)

The premise is deceptively simple: walk down a Tokyo subway corridor, notice everything around you, and repeat the route eight times but beware any “anomalies,” like a different poster or an extra door, or risk having to start over. Originally a 2023 Japanese cult game, it doesn’t immediately scream “movie adaptation,” yet director Genki Kawamura masterfully translates the game’s tension and existential panic to the screen. Kazunari Ninomiya stars as the “Lost Man,” navigating this labyrinth while the film explores themes of parental anxiety and the consequences of poor choices. A standout on last year’s festival circuit, Neon is now giving this gripping, cerebral thriller a proper release.
image

37. Flowervale Street (August 14)

Fans have been eager to see what David Robert Mitchell — the mind behind cult hits It Follows and Under the Silver Lake — would do next, and the answer is a cryptic sci-fi tale. The logline is simple: a family in the 1980s notices strange occurrences in their neighborhood. While the premise sounds generic, Mitchell has a knack for transforming stock ideas into compelling, original stories. The eclectic cast includes Ewan McGregor, Anne Hathaway, breakout star Maisy Stella (My Old Ass), Christian Convery (Sweet Tooth), P.J. Byrne (The Boys), and Chris Coy (The Deuce), promising an intriguing mix of talent to bring this mysterious story to life.
image

38. The Dog Stars (August 28)

Ridley Scott is back with a new post-apocalyptic adventure. Jacob Elordi stars as a pilot who survives a deadly global pandemic and must navigate a devastated world alongside his loyal dog and a grizzled marine (Josh Brolin) at an abandoned airbase. A supply run gone wrong leads him to a rancher (Guy Pearce) and his daughter, a doctor (Margaret Qualley). Fans of Peter Heller’s 2012 novel will know what lies ahead, while the rest of us will have to hit theaters to see the journey unfold.
image

39. Clayface (September 11)

If we’d been asked which Batman villain deserved a solo movie, Clayface probably wouldn’t have topped our list Hugo Strange would’ve taken that spot (no questions, please). Yet Mike Flanagan, the mind behind Doctor Sleep and The Haunting of Hill House, pitched DC Studios a horror-tinged tale about an actor who can shapeshift into living clay. Now, Clayface is set to headline the DCEU’s big fall release. Due to scheduling conflicts, James Watkins (Speak No Evil) directs a script partially credited to Flanagan. Tom Rhys Harries stars as the title character, with Naomi Ackie as the scientist who aids his transformation, while Max Minghella and Eddie Marsan round out the cast.
image

40. Sense and Sensibility (September 11)

Can you believe it’s been over 30 years since Emma Thompson and Ang Lee delivered their near-perfect adaptation of Jane Austen’s debut novel? Time flies when Hugh Grant’s dashing Edward Ferrars is involved. Now, Georgia Oakley, praised for her 2022 anti-bigotry drama Blue Jean, takes on this literary classic. Daisy Edgar-Jones stars as Elinor Dashwood, the lovelorn heroine pining for Ferrars, played here by George McKay (1917, The Beast). Fiona Shaw, Catríona Balfe (Outlander), and Frank Dillane round out the cast. Expect a stirring display of Austen’s wit, heart, and drama.
image

41. Resident Evil (September 18)

Fresh off the success of Weapons, director and avid gamer Zach Cregger dives into the Resident Evil franchise with what feels less like a reboot and more like a cinematic expansion pack. Set in the same universe as the iconic PlayStation zombie-killing games, the film follows a new protagonist played by Cregger’s frequent collaborator Austin Abrams as he navigates a world full of mutants, grotesque creatures, and other “bio-organic weapons.” Cregger describes the project as a heartfelt “love letter” to the games, promising fans a faithful, action-packed experience.
image

42. Digger (October 2)

Alejandro González Iñárritu, known for his immersive, intense filmmaking in Birdman and The Revenant, teams up with the ever-charismatic (and slightly high-octane) Tom Cruise for a new dark comedy. Once known simply as the “Iñárritu/Cruise” project, the film centers on Cruise’s character, Digger Rockwell dubbed “the most powerful man in the world” who inadvertently triggers a global catastrophe and must scramble to set things right before Armageddon strikes. Joining the end-of-the-world chaos are Jesse Plemons, Sandra Huller, Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Emma D’Arcy, and Michael Stuhlbarg.

image

43. Verity (October 2)

Colleen Hoover’s cinematic universe expands as her 2018 psychological thriller receives an A-list adaptation. Dakota Johnson stars as a young woman hired to complete the bestselling series of a famous author (Anne Hathaway) after a mysterious accident sidelines her. But as the ghostwriter delves deeper into her employer’s past, it becomes clear that the “accident” might not have been accidental at all. Let’s just hope this story stays on the page… and out of the courtroom.
image

44. The Social Reckoning (October 9)

Don’t call it a sequel — Aaron Sorkin’s latest dive into Facebook’s corporate world is a “companion piece” to his Oscar-winning The Social Network, not a Part II. Serving as both writer and director, Sorkin turns his lens on Frances Haugen, the product manager-turned-whistleblower who exposed internal documents revealing misinformation campaigns and questionable corporate decisions at Zuckerberg Inc. Mikey Madison stars as Haugen, Jeremy Strong embodies Mark Zuckerberg with his trademark Method intensity, and Jeremy Allen White plays Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz.
image

45. Remain (October 23)

M. Night Shyamalan joins forces with bestselling author Nicholas Sparks, a combo we never thought we’d see for a suspenseful drama. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as an architect grieving the loss of a family member, who takes on a project in Cape Cod to distract himself. There, he meets a young woman (Phoebe Dynevor of Fair Play) who disrupts his emotional equilibrium, leading to unexpected complications. And yes, a classic Shyamalan twist awaits at the end.
image

46. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping (November 20)

Another Hunger Games prequel is on the way! Set roughly 25 years before the original film, a young Haymitch Abernathy (Joseph Zada) competes in the deadly games but with a twist: each district must send two tributes. Haymitch finds himself facing not only opponents from other districts but also his own neighbor, Maysilee Donner (McKenna Grace) from District 12. Francis Lawrence returns as director, promising the same intense, high-stakes action fans expect from the franchise.

Mark your calendars for next December to see how it all unfolds.
image

49. Dune: Part 3 (December 18)

Denis Villeneuve returns to complete his sci-fi saga with the final chapter of Dune, following Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) as he navigates the intoxicating power of his new role as emperor. Drawing heavily from Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah, the story explores a religious jihad that both consolidates Paul’s rule and spirals out of control, promising epic spectacle and thought-provoking commentary. Zendaya, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson, Florence Pugh, Jason Momoa, and Anya Taylor-Joy reprise their roles, with Robert Pattinson joining as a mysterious new character.
image

50. Werewulf (December 25)

Having tackled witches and vampires, Robert Eggers now turns his attention to lycanthropes. Details are scarce, but the acclaimed writer-director promises a medieval tale of a werewolf terrorizing a town, calling it “the darkest thing I’ve ever written.” Returning collaborators Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe, and Ralph Ineson bring Eggers’ vision of pure, blood-curdling horror to life. Surprisingly, the film lands on Christmas Day though given Eggers’ track record with Nosferatu, that timing might just be perfect.
