- DirectorTimur BekmambetovStarsJack HustonToby KebbellRodrigo SantoroJudah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince falsely accused of treason by his adopted brother, an officer in the Roman army, returns to his homeland after years at sea to seek revenge, but finds redemption.Ben Hur is one of my favorite epic films and it's not surprising that this should be on my list. Hopefully, this new epic coming out next year will live up to the standards of the remake (1959 Charlton Heston Film)
- DirectorAlex ProyasStarsBrenton ThwaitesNikolaj Coster-WaldauGerard ButlerMortal hero Bek teams with the god Horus in an alliance against Set, the merciless god of darkness, who has usurped Egypt's throne, plunging the once peaceful and prosperous empire into chaos and conflict.Another epic film by a great director named Alex Proyas who you may recall making Cult hit Dark City, I Robot and Knowing. A very visionary director, Gods of Egypt should be a good example of him showing off his skills once more.
- DirectorDuncan JonesStarsTravis FimmelPaula PattonBen FosterAs an Orc horde invades the planet Azeroth using a magic portal, a few human heroes and dissenting Orcs must attempt to stop the true evil behind this war.This one is another Epic film, but this time, It's A Fantasy One. I never played Warcraft but I don't expect much because this film could be amazing or total crap. But I am really excited for how big the scale will be in this film.
- DirectorTim MillerStarsRyan ReynoldsMorena BaccarinT.J. MillerA wisecracking mercenary gets experimented on and becomes immortal yet hideously scarred, and sets out to track down the man who ruined his looks.Deadpool is a very smutty hero in the comic books and video game. So why would they cast Ryan Reynolds yet again if he acted nothing like Deadpool in the Wolverine Movie? Maybe this is because they are trying to clean up their act and want something awesome so they are rebooting the character. So here's hoping that this will be a good one also.
- DirectorLouis LeterrierStarsSacha Baron CohenMark StrongRebel WilsonA new assignment forces a top spy to team up with his football hooligan brother.Another Team Up Of Louis Leterrier and Sacha Baron Cohen after their disappointing film The Dictator. It's weird because Cohen is not playing another politically incorrect character, he is actually playing a kind of different character then before. Hoping it will take risks.
- DirectorZack SnyderStarsBen AffleckHenry CavillAmy AdamsBatman is manipulated by Lex Luthor to fear Superman. Superman´s existence is meanwhile dividing the world and he is framed for murder during an international crisis. The heroes clash and force the neutral Wonder Woman to reemerge.Man Of Steel I thought was a good film and didn't see the hate for it until a few months later. I do think Zack Snyder might be going the wrong way for superhero movies if this film fails, but I really think that Snyder can make a good crossover that also features WONDER WOMAN! Fina-friking-ly.
- DirectorBryan SingerStarsJames McAvoyMichael FassbenderJennifer LawrenceIn the 1980s the X-Men must defeat an ancient all-powerful mutant, En Sabah Nur, who intends to thrive through bringing destruction to the world.X-Men Days Of Future Past is possibly my all time favorite superhero film right now. Apocalypse, even though it has no previews, photos or anything yet, I am hotly waiting for because it made X-Men cool again.
- DirectorRoland EmmerichStarsLiam HemsworthJeff GoldblumBill PullmanTwo decades after the first Independence Day invasion, Earth is faced with a new extra-Solar threat. But will mankind's new space defenses be enough?ID2 or Independence Day Forever as it is called on Wikipedia is a sequel that comes 20 years later after the original. Even if they don't have Will Smith in it, I will be happy see aliens blowing up cities once again since Independence Day is one of my favorite 90's films.
- DirectorAndrew StantonAngus MacLaneStarsEllen DeGeneresAlbert BrooksEd O'NeillFriendly but forgetful blue tang Dory begins a search for her long-lost parents and everyone learns a few things about the real meaning of family along the way.Another one I am Hotly waiting for. I have huge expectations for this film. Mainly because Nemo is an amazing animated film with lots of heart. I hope to see Nemo and the Fish Tank group again grown much older. I can't wait to see Ellen in her first movie appearence (voice over) in so many years.
- DirectorMichael ThurmeierGalen T. ChuStarsRay RomanoDenis LearyJohn LeguizamoWhen Scrat's acorn sends an asteroid to Earth, the Herd must find a way to stop the asteroid from hitting Earth with the help of a returning friend.Only thing I'm going to say is that I hope it has no dumb idiotic musical numbers like every single Blue Sky film that slow down the plot and I hope it is better than Continental Drift.
- DirectorCharlie BeanPaul FisherBob LoganStarsJackie ChanDave FrancoFred ArmisenShunned by everyone for being the son of an evil warlord, a teenager seeks to defeat him with the help of his fellow ninjas.After such an amazing hit like the Lego Movie, Warner Bros has the smart idea to make MORE movies in the Lego Universe. The first being Lego Ninjago. I have no clue what it is, but I really can't wait for this one.
- DirectorChris McKayStarsWill ArnettMichael CeraRosario DawsonA cooler-than-ever Bruce Wayne must deal with the usual suspects as they plan to rule Gotham City, while discovering that he has accidentally adopted a teenage orphan who wishes to become his sidekick.Part of Warner Bros huge release plans for the next 5 years, Batman in The Lego Movie was executed perfectly and brings Batman to a place he hasn't been before. So it makes SENSE that they will make a Spin Off Movie about Him! I wonder if this film will connect to the Lego Movie Sequel. Speaking of which....
- DirectorMike MitchellStarsChris PrattElizabeth BanksWill ArnettIt's been five years since everything was awesome and the citizens are facing the huge new threat of Lego Duplo, invaders from outer space, wrecking everything faster than they can rebuild.WHY 4 YEARS!? WHY!?
Dystopian Society? A Bit More Girly Stuff? (Which could mean More Unikitty?!)
They might be coming up with something amazing and I am dying to see this movie so badly. - DirectorDavid YatesStarsEddie RedmayneKatherine WaterstonAlison SudolIn 1926, magizoologist Newt Scamander arrives in New York during his worldwide tour to research and rescue magical creatures as something mysterious leaves trails of destruction in the city, threatening to expose the wizarding world.A Harry Potter Spinoff could mean only one thing. To see Harry's Children grow up at Hogwarts facing a new evil? Who knows, but I am just glad they are making this spin off.
- DirectorAnthony RussoJoe RussoStarsChris EvansRobert Downey Jr.Scarlett JohanssonPolitical involvement in the Avengers' affairs causes a rift between Captain America and Iron Man.Marvel's Captain America is my Favorite Superhero in the MCU. Because he is not an a#@hole (Like Tony Stark/Iron Man), he isn't overpowered and unstoppable (Like Thor), and he is actually the most likable out of the whole Team besides Nick Fury. Cannot wait to see him back on the big screen again after Avengers Age of Ultron
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsMark RylanceRuby BarnhillPenelope WiltonAn orphan little girl befriends a benevolent giant who takes her to Giant Country, where they attempt to stop the man-eating giants that are invading the human world.Roald Dahl is one of my favorite authors growing up. I read some of his most classic books like Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Glass Elevator, The BFG and George's Marvelous Medicine (Which still needs to be made into a film) So I am very excited for the adaptation of The BFG which he wrote.
- DirectorTaika WaititiStarsChris HemsworthTom HiddlestonCate BlanchettImprisoned on the planet Sakaar, Thor must race against time to return to Asgard and stop Ragnarök, the destruction of his world, at the hands of the powerful and ruthless villain Hela.When they announced this movie, they said it is going to be a very important part of Phase 3. This better not suck because This is Suppose to be 'Important'
- DirectorDean DeBloisStarsJay BaruchelAmerica FerreraF. Murray AbrahamWhen Hiccup discovers Toothless isn't the only Night Fury, he must seek the Hidden World, a secret Dragon Utopia before a hired tyrant named Grimmel finds it first.How To Train Your Dragon is possibly the Star Wars of this generation, The first film was a fun but mostly light movie with a bit of sacrifice in it. The Second is heavily reminiscent of The Empire Strikes Back which is a good thing. The film had death, growth, darkness, maturity and some fun parts to it making it one of the key essential animated films of this generation. So number 3 should end off with a bang.
- DirectorZack SnyderStarsBen AffleckGal GadotJason MomoaFueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his new-found ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy.We are finally going to see a Justice League film after a billion years (Maybe not that long but still) This includes Part 2 which is suppose to be released in 2019. I wonder what these legendary heroes are going up against.
- DirectorAnthony RussoJoe RussoStarsRobert Downey Jr.Chris HemsworthMark RuffaloThe Avengers and their allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe.This includes Part 2. This might be the end of the superhero genre for a while as we got A LOT of them coming over the next years including this one. Will the Avengers Team up with The Guardians of the Galaxy? Will Heroes die and new ones take over? Will Spider-man escape from Not Harry Osborn and star in this two part event? We will find out in a few years!
