As 2022 draws to a close, it’s a good time to consider this year’s movies and which ones were among the best to appear on the big screen. This year will be remembered for everything from multiverse comedies like Everything At Once and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness to box office hits like Top Gun: Maverick and The Batman.
It’s a time to pause and consider the movies of the year, but it’s also a time to anticipate what 2023 will bring. Even though the slate for 2022 was impressive, fans have been anticipating even more thrilling movies for the following year.
Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania Is The Next Marvel Project
Scott Lang, played by Paul Rudd, has a menacing expression in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
The MCU still rules the box office, as evidenced by 2022, when its three films made just under $2.5 billion worldwide. The third Ant-Man movie, Quantumania, which is once again helmed by Peyton Reed, Ant-Man and the Wasp, is the next entry in the franchise.
Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Michael Douglas are all returning actors in the film. Additionally, it features MCU newcomers Bill Murray, Kathryn Newton, and Jonathan Majors as Kang in his first film role. On February 17, Scott, Cassie, and the van Dynes set foot inside the Quantum Realm.
Christopher Nolan Is Dropping A Bomb In Oppenheimer
If there is one thing that fans of Christopher Nolan can count on, it is that his productions are larger than life. Oppenheimer, a biopic of J. Robert Oppenheimer, who contributed to the development of the atomic weapons used in World War II, is his upcoming movie. Cillian Murphy, who has previously worked with Nolan, plays Oppenheimer.
The cast of this movie is one of the biggest in recent memory for any movie, and Murphy is only one of the many stars who will be in it. Among the celebrities who are anticipated to show up are Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Rami Malek, and Gary Oldman. The movie debuts on theaters on July 21 and is anticipated to be quite popular.
Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 Is The End Of The Team As We Know It
James Gunn must conclude the Guardians’ saga with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 before fully taking over as DC Studios’ new creative director. The squad, which appeared in Thor: Love and Thunder for a brief moment, will return in the third movie as they deal with the effects of Thanos on Knowhere.
Adam Warlock, a well-known figure from the comics, will be introduced along with Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaa, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Vin Diesel, and Bradley Cooper. Bring tissues if you plan to see this movie on May 5 since it will undoubtedly evoke a range of emotions.
Harrison Ford Is Back As Indiana Jones For One Last Ride
Harrison Ford, who is 80 years old, is still entertaining audiences across the world as Indiana Jones, possibly his most well-known character. The fifth and final Indiana Jones movie, which is directed by James Mangold rather than Steven Spielberg, is titled Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
Following one more adventure, the movie will follow Indy as he considers retiring. Antonio Banderas, Mads Mikkelsen, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge appear alongside Ford. On June 30, the movie opens in theaters for everyone to enjoy.
Miles Morales Will Venture Across The Spider-Verse
When Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse was released, it instantly became a classic because of its amazing plot and visually stunning animation. Fans have been eager to learn Miles Morales and his Spider friends’ future for the past four years since the film’s release.
Although Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has three new directors in Joaquim Dos Santos, Justin K. Thompson, and Kemp Powers, there are still great expectations for the follow-up. With Oscar Isaac joining as Spider-Man 2099, Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, and Jake Johnson all lend their voices once more. The movie premieres in theaters on June 2.
The Flash Will Be Here Faster Than You Realize
Over the past few years, DC has experienced a great deal of unrest, much of which has been attributed to Ezra Miller’s disruptive behavior. The studio hasn’t let this stop them from continuing to work on Andy Muschietti’s The Flash, which is anticipated to open in theaters on June 16th.
Even though this movie has experienced numerous delays and seems far off, it will arrive sooner than people anticipate. If DC decides to reboot their universe under James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new direction, the movie is anticipated to follow the flashpoint plotline. Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck, who previously played Batman, both make returns in The Flash.
The Little Mermaid Wants To Be Part Of This World
Disney live-action remakes have long been the target of criticism, and perhaps none has received as much scrutiny as The Little Mermaid, in large part due to the choice of Halle Bailey for the role of Ariel. Whatever the case, there is a lot of anticipation for the film’s May 26th release.
The Little Mermaid, directed by Chicagoan Rob Marshall, has a great deal of potential to rank among Disney’s best live-action adaptations to date. Daveed Diggs, Awkwafina, Javier Bardem, and Melissa McCarthy appear alongside Bailey.
The Next Chapter Of John Wick Arrives
John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum was released three years ago, and the fourth was postponed primarily because of pandemic delays. Next year will see the release of John Wick: Chapter 4, with Keanu Reeves reprising his role as the title character and attempting to finally defeat The High Table.
Donnie Yen, Ian McShane, Bill Skarsgrd, and Laurence Fishburne are also slated to star in the newest movie, which will once again be directed by Chad Stahelski. A spinoff movie called Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas, Norman Readus, and Reeves, is in the works and will be released on March 24.
The Next Part Of Dune Arrives
When Dune was released last year, it was a tremendous hit, but because of the pandemic, the majority of people could only see it on HBO Max. A film like that was unquestionably designed for the big screen, and viewers will be able to see the sequel in theaters the following year.
The release of Dune: Part Two, which Denis Villeneuve will also direct, is scheduled for November 3, but it will be worth the wait to find out what happens to Paul Atreides. Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Javier Bardem, Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, and Austin Butler will all be a part of the ensemble cast that brings Frank Herbert’s book to life.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie Lands In The Spring
When The Super Mario Bros. Movie hits theaters on April 7th of next year, the well-known Italian plumber created by Nintendo will have made the transition to Hollywood. With a star-studded cast headed by Chris Pratt, the animated picture was created in partnership with Illumination and Nintendo and is expected to be a smash.
Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, and Seth Rogen are a few notable names who might be seen as fans’ favorite Super Mario characters. Mario will have to journey to the Mushroom Kingdom once more to save Princess Peach.
