Every Summer, a slate of new summer blockbusters hit the big screen. From action-packed tales of dinosaurs to superheroes and animation, here’s all the films to put on your to-watch list.
Thunderbolts – May 2
The final film of Marvel’s Phase 5, Thunderbolts has already been marred with controversy, with many criticising it’s forced ‘A24’ themed marketing campaign. But with a stacked cast featuring Florence Pugh, David Harbour and Sebastian Stan, amongst many others, this may just be the studio’s best project in a long time as we go on to gear up for the next big Avenger’s showdown.
How to Train Your Dragon (Live Action) – June 13
Dreamworks Animation Studios has taken some influence from Disney with this one. This live action reimagining of 2010’s iconic animation marks the studio’s first foray into the format. With original director Dean DeBlois and composer John Powell returning, this could break the live-action curse for animation studios and show Disney how to do it well.
M3GAN 2.0 – June 27
Viewers can prepare themselves for some more campy mayhem, and M3GAN memes as the killer robot doll marks her big-screen comeback after debuting in 2022. Already a minor horror icon, it will be interesting to see how this sequel holds against the first, but we know that nevertheless a fun time is almost guaranteed.
Jurassic World Rebirth – July 2
We may have all rolled our eyes when they announced another Jurassic World sequel was on the horizon, however, this ‘rebirth’ looks like it could be what the franchise needs. Directed by Rogue One and The Creator director, Gareth Edwards, and starring Wicked’s Jonathon Bailey and Marvel’s Scarlett Johansson, the creative team is looking strong for this one.
