Dune: Part Two

The first part of Denis Villeneuve’s ambitious adaptation of Frank Herbert’s epic sci-fi novel was a critical and commercial success, earning rave reviews and over $500 million worldwide.

Avatar 3

James Cameron’s Avatar revolutionized the cinematic landscape in 2009, becoming the highest-grossing film of all time until Avengers: Endgame surpassed it in 2019. The long-awaited sequel, Avatar 2, is set to hit theaters in December 2023, and will continue the saga of the Na’vi, the blue-skinned inhabitants of the lush moon Pandora, and their conflict with the human invaders. Avatar 3, which will be released a year later, will reportedly explore new regions and cultures of Pandora, as well as introduce new characters and creatures. Cameron has said that the third film will be a “natural conclusion” to the story of Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), but also leave the door open for more adventures in the future.

Mad Max: The Wasteland

George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road was one of the most acclaimed and exhilarating films of 2015, winning six Oscars and earning over $370 million worldwide. The film, which starred Tom Hardy as the titular road warrior and Charlize Theron as the fierce Imperator Furiosa, was a masterclass in action filmmaking, with stunning visuals, practical effects, and breathtaking stunts. Miller has been working on a sequel, titled Mad Max: The Wasteland, which will focus on a younger version of Furiosa, played by Anya Taylor-Joy. The film will also feature Chris Hemsworth and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in undisclosed roles. Miller has described the film as a “prequel, but it’s also a standalone story” that will explore Furiosa’s origins and her rise to power.

The Little Mermaid

Disney’s live-action remake of its beloved 1989 animated classic, The Little Mermaid, is one of the most anticipated musicals of 2024. The film, directed by Rob Marshall, will feature new and old songs by Alan Menken and Lin-Manuel Miranda, as well as a diverse and talented cast. Halle Bailey will play the role of Ariel, the mermaid princess who dreams of becoming human and falls in love with Prince Eric, played by Jonah Hauer-King. Melissa McCarthy will play the villainous sea witch, Ursula, while Javier Bardem, Awkwafina, Jacob Tremblay, and Daveed Diggs will play Ariel’s father, friends, and allies. The film will also feature new characters and elements that will expand the story and the world of the original.

The Flash

The Flash, the solo film of the DC superhero played by Ezra Miller, has been in development for years, with multiple directors and writers attached and dropped. The film, which is finally set to be released in 2024, will be directed by Andy Muschietti, the filmmaker behind the It and Mama horror films. The film will adapt the Flashpoint storyline from the comics, in which the Flash travels back in time to prevent his mother’s death, but creates an alternate timeline where everything is different and worse. The film will also feature the return of Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck as different versions of Batman, as well as Sasha Calle as Supergirl, Kiersey Clemons as Iris West, and Maribel Verdú as Nora Allen.
