Dune
Release date: October 22, 2021 (HBO Max + theaters)
Is Frank Herbert's supposedly unfilmable classic sci-fi novel Dune genuinely unfilmable? The jury's still out after David Lynch's ambitious but flawed 1984 attempt. However, if anyone can get an adaptation right it's Arrival director Denis Villeneuve, the man who directed the excellent Blade Runner 2049.
He's lined up an impressive cast to tell the story of double-dealing and skullduggery on the desert world of Arrakis, the source of the valuable "spice" that makes interstellar travel possible. Timothée Chalamet plays the lead Paul Atreides, with Mission: Impossible: Rogue Nation's Rebecca Ferguson as his mum Lady Jessica, and some top Star Wars and Marvel talent in the form of Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, and Zendaya.
The French Dispatch
Release date: October 22, 2021
Wes Anderson returns with The French Dispatch – the director's first output since 2018's Isle of Dogs – which centers on a group of journalists working for an American newspaper outpost based in a fictional French City. The cast features a mixture of Anderson favorites and newcomers: Bill Murray, Adrien Brody, Léa Seydoux, Owen Wilson, and Tilda Swinton star alongside Timothée Chalamet, Benicio del Toro, and Jeffrey Wright. Its trailer has all of the hallmarks we expect from a Wes Anderson film; bright colors, flat line delivery, and meticulously stylized shots. And, of course, we cannot wait for this hopefully whimsical affair.
Last Night in Soho
Release date: October 29, 2021
Edgar Wright returns with what will be slightly less funny and more horror than we're used to from the director. Last Night in Soho follows Anya Taylor-Joy's fashion designer who mysteriously ends up in the '60s. Not al is as it seems (as you would expect) and things get slightly out of hand. The movie will also feature Diana Rigg's last performance.
Army of Thieves
Release date: October 29, 2021 (Netflix)
Following the world-conquering Army of the Dead comes a Army of Thieves. Snyder produces the prequel, handing the directorial reins to the film's lead Matthias Schweighöfer – who played Ludwig Dieter in the fist movie – this time around.
Based on the plot synopsis dropped earlier this year, the zombie-free sequel finds Nathalie Emmanuel's character, a mysterious woman named Gwendoline enlisting Schweighöfer's safe-cracker Ludwig Dieter into a crew of top-shelf criminals wanted by Interpol. Their plan? To break into a series of Europe's most impossible-to-crack safes. Sounds like another stellar thriller.
Eternals
Release date: November 5, 2021
Eternals was the second Marvel Phase 4 movie, but now comes third! It comes with a stellar cast including Richard Madden as Ikaris, Angelina Jolie as Thena, Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Salma Hayek as Ajak, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastom, and many more. Feige himself has given a small peek into what to expect from the Eternals story, having said: "It will be a story that will introduce you to this incredibly eclectic group of immortals, they're the focus of the story." He said of the setting: "It takes place in our universe – it takes place in the MCU."
Chloe Zhao, who will be directing Eternals, said at SDCC: "I just really, really wanted to make a Marvel movie for so long… For this film, The Eternals, it's about this incredible group of immortals but, through their journey, we get to explore what it means to be human."
Spencer
Release date: November 5, 2021
Kristen Stewart throws her hat into the Oscars ring with Spencer, the American actor portraying Princess Diana in this biopic from Jackie director Pablo Larraín. Spencer has already been winning over film festival goers, with Stewart's performance, in particular, gaining critical acclaim.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife
Release date: November 12, 2021
Who you gonna call? When it comes to having another crack at rebooting Ghostbusters, it seems the answer is Jason Reitman. The Tully director announced via a teaser trailer that he's inherited the megaphone from his dad, original Ghostbusters director Ivan, for a movie Reitman Jr. has described as "a continuation of the original franchise". That means the new movie will pick up decades after New York was terrorised by insurgents from the spirit world, meaning the unfairly maligned 2016 movie now sits alone in its own parallel timeline.
With Fargo's Carrie Coon, Stranger Things' Finn Wolfhard, McKenna Grace (the young Carol Danvers in Captain Marvel) and Ant-Man himself, Paul Rudd, heading up the cast, it promises to have a very different feel to the "four guys team-up to fight ghosts" vibe of the original movies.
Red Notice
Release date: November 12, 2021 (Netflix)
Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne Johnson, and Gal Gadot team up for a crime thriller on Netflix that's sure to be one of the streamer's biggest hits to date. Johnson plays an American agent tasked with tracking down one of the world's most infamous thieves, portrayed by Gadot. He needs a little helping hand, and so goes to another most-wanted criminal (Reynolds) to try and understand how these peoples' minds work. It's a classic buddy-comedy actioner in the waiting.
The Power of the Dog
Release date: November 17, 2021
Oscar-winning director Jane Campion's latest movie is set on a Montana cattle ranch in the '20s where a young widow (Kirsten Dunst) and her son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) come to live with her new husband, George (Jesse Plemons). However, things are complicated by the presence of George's brother Phil (Benedict Cumberbatch) and his erratic, potentially violent behavior. The Power of the Dog is also getting a Netflix release on December 1.
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City
Release date: November 24 (US), December 3 (UK), 2021
The latest Resident Evil movie will tell an original story that broadly encompasses the events of the first two video games – set in the '90s, it's set to explore the secrets of the mysterious Spencer Mansion and the ill-fated Raccoon City. The movie stars Kaya Scodelario, Hannah John-Kamen, Robbie Amell, Tom Hopper, and Avan Jogia as members of the group of survivors remaining in Raccoon City.
House of Gucci
Release date: November 26, 2021
You know the family name, now learn about the scandles behind one of the most famous fashion houses in the world. Spanning three decades, the movie follows the Gucci family with a particular focus on Maurizio (Adam Driver), Gucci founder Guccio Gucci's grandson, and his wife Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga), who was convicted of organizing Maurizio's murder after the couple divorced. ridley Scott directs this one, which, like his other movie The Last Duel, promises to be another awards contender.
West Side Story
Release date: December 10, 2021
There aren't many genres Steven Spielberg hasn't tackled over the course of his long and impressive career, but the musical is one of them. He's about to change all that with this new take on West Side Story, but seeing as Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins' 1961 Oscar-winner is widely regarded as one of the best song-and-dance flicks of all time, the director certainly isn't taking the easy option.
Famously an update of Romeo And Juliet, the story focuses on a doomed romance against the backdrop of gang war between the Jets and the Sharks in 1950s New York. Baby Driver star Ansel Elgort and newcomer Rachel Zegler play lovers Tony and Maria, with Rita Moreno (who won an Oscar playing Anita in the original movie) back to play Valentina, a reimagined and expanded version of the role of Doc. We know the tunes are good – the question is, can Spielberg make everything else sing as well?
Nightmare Alley
Release date: December 17, 2021
Guillermo del Toro's finally back! Nightmare Alley marks the director's first movie since the Best Picture winner The Shape of Water.
Based on the 1946 novel of the same name by William Lindsay Gresham, the story has already been adapted for the screen once before back in 1947. It follows manipulative carnival worker Stan Carlisle (played by Bradley Cooper this time around), who joins forces with the dangerous femme fatale Dr. Lilith Ritter (Cate Blanchett). The new photos seemingly confirm that the movie has kept the '40s setting, playing homage to the golden age of film noir. However, unlike the 1947 version, del Toro's Nightmare Alley is R rated. Alongside Blanchett and Cooper, the movie also stars Toni Collette, Willem Dafoe, and Rooney Mara.
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Release date: December 17, 2021
The third instalment of the Tom Holland-fronted Spidey franchise, titled Spider-Man: No Way Home, may see the return of a few familiar faces – multiverse rumours have been brewing for a while now, with Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and Kirsten Dunst reportedly reprising their roles from previous Spider-verses. We know we can also expect appearances from Doctor Octopus and J. Jonah Jameson, too. Other than that, everything is still pretty up in the air, plot-wise, but we've got high hopes for Spider-Man 3.
The Matrix 4
Release date: December 22, 2021 (HBO Max + theaters)
After months of rumors, it was finally confirmed that The Matrix 4 is actually happening. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss are back as Neo and Trinity, while Lana Wachowski returns as director. New cast members include Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Neil Patrick Harris, and Jessica Henwick, though none of their roles have been specified. Actually, not much else has been specified at all. We know very, very little about The Matrix 4, but it's worth noting that Aleksandar Hemon – author of The Lazarus Project – and David Mitchell, who wrote the book Cloud Atlas, are both on board as co-screenwriters with Wachowski. Now, if that's not the recipe for some deep, action-packed philosophical conundrums then we don't know what is.
Don't Look Up
Release date: December 24, 2021 (Netflix)
Leonardo DiCaprio (the first A-list actor of many you're about to see on this page) plays Paul, an astronomer tasked with heading on a "giant media tour" to warn everyone of the approaching comet that spells impending doom for the world's population. Joining him is Jennifer Lawrence, who plays fellow astronomer Kate. The movie, from Adam McKay, also stars *deep breath* Jonah Hill, Mark Rylance, Tyler Perry, Ron Perlman, Timothee Chalamet, Cate Blanchett, and Meryl Streep. Now that's one huge cast.
The King's Man
Release date: December 24, 2021
After Kingsman: The Secret Service announced the arrival of a fun new spy saga, follow-up The Golden Circle fell a little flat. Now, director Matthew Vaughn gets a chance to reinvigorate the series (based on Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons' comic book series) by going back to the early 20th century in this prequel – we're thinking of it as The League of Extraordinarily Tailored Gentlemen.
A big advantage of visiting the origins of the titular undercover organization is the chance to roll out a lot of famous actors playing even more famous historical figures: Ralph Fiennes, Liam Neeson is Lord Kitchener, Rhys Ifans is Rasputin, Gemma Arterton is Mata Hari, and Tom Hollander is King George V, Kaiser Wilhelm II, and Tsar Nicholas II – the three monarchs were cousins and the spit of each other. Expect ridiculous gadgets, over-the-top action, and plenty of innuendo.
The 355
The 355 follows Mace (Jessica Chastain), a CIA agent gone rogue, recruiting an all-female team to help her put a stop to a cyber terrorist group. Chastain is joined by an all-star cast, including Lupita Nyong'o, Penélope Cruz, Diane Kruger, Fan Bingbing and Sebastian Stan. The name of the movie is a reference to 'Agent 355', the code name of a female spy during the American Revolution whose identity is still unknown.
Scream
Ghostface is back. Set 25 years after the original murders, someone new has donned the infamous white mask and targets a group of teenagers in an attempt to bring old secrets to light. The horror franchise's fifth installment sees Scream alumni David Arquette, Courtney Cox, and Neve Campbell reprise their roles from previous films, while Melissa Barrera, Jack Quaid, Kyle Gallner, and Dylan Minnette have also joined the cast.
Morbius
Release date: January 21, 2022
After the massive (and possibly unexpected) success of Venom, Sony's going full-steam-ahead on the Spider-Verse that may or may not be attached to the MCU (Tom Holland will be appearing in Spider-Verse movies, and we already know Vulture is in Morbius, so we're guessing so). Morbius centers on another troubled villain/antihero (delete as appropriate) – this time it's Michael Morbius, a scientist with a rare blood disorder whose experiments to find a cure end up giving him a form of vampirism.
Dallas Buyers Club Oscar-winner Jared Leto is playing the so-called "living vampire", so expect impressive levels of commitment from an actor who famously went method playing the Joker in Suicide Squad.
Marry Me
Release date: February 11, 2022
She's a mega pop star, who discovers her latest beau is cheating on her. He's a high school maths teacher, who happens to be holding up a sign that says 'Marry Me' at one of her concerts. And so what happens? She plucks him out of the audience and a whirlwind romance starts. So begins Kat Coiro's charming-sounding Marry Me, a romcom that you can take the whole family to.
Uncharted
Release date: February 18, 2022
After seven (yes, seven!) director changes, the Uncharted movie finally wrapped filming. That means we can expect to see the Tom Holland-led adaptation of the games in cinemas during our lifetimes. We didn't think it would happen after such a turbulent production process. But here we are. Mark Wahlberg is set to play Sully, a mentor-type to Holland's Nathan Drake. This will be set a little before the games, which centre on older versions of the characters. But by going young, Sony has set themselves up for a franchise. Expect sequels. Many, many sequels...
The Batman
Release date: March 4, 2022
Robert Pattinson takes over the cowl in The Batman, the upcoming adaptation of the Caped Crusader from director Matt Reeves. If you discount Batman v Superman, this is the first solo Batman movie in a decade (The Dark Knight Rises released in 2012), making it the longest gap between Bat-Flicks since Tim Burton's Batman arrived onto the scene. Taking place outside the currently established DCEU, The Batman will pit R-Batz against a host of villains, including Riddler, The Penguin, and Catwoman. Prepare for an action-packed and bloody take on Batman unlike any other.
Top Gun: Maverick
Release date: May 27, 2022
Thirty-five years after the original Top Gun, Tom Cruise feels the need to go back to the role that made him the biggest movie star on the planet. This time around, his Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is an instructor at the eponymous San Diego flight school, and he's set to come into contact with trainee pilot Bradley Bradshaw (played by Whiplash star Miles Teller) – who just happens to be the son of Maverick's late co-pilot Goose…
The first Top Gun was a glorious example of '80s excess and style over substance, so don't expect the sequel to be a deep examination of a pilot's psyche. But with director Joseph Kosinski having Tron: Legacy and Oblivion under his belt, the upcoming movie is bound to look spectacular. Meanwhile, the return of Val Kilmer as Iceman is a nice link to the original – he can be our wingman anytime...
Jurassic World: Dominion
Release date: June 10, 2022
There's nothing quite as fun as bringing the gang back together. Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neil, and Laura Dern are all returning to the dinosaur franchise for Jurassic World 3: Dominion. The pre-historic beasts are now out in the wild, away from the insular parks that kept them hostage. Prepare for carnage and familiar faces.
Mission: Impossible 7
Release date: September 30, 2022
Yes, there have already been six of these action-packed blockbusters, and the series continues for good reason. Tom Cruise was born to do death-defying stunts, and this series is full of them. This time around, he's joined by series newcomers Hayley Atwell and Pom Klementieff, while Ving Rhames, Henry Czerny, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby and Angela Bassett all reprise their roles from previous movies. Christopher McQuarrie is back in the director's chair, and a sequel – Mission: Impossible 8 – is already dated for July 2023.
Tomb Raider 2
Release date: Unknown
Alicia Vikander returns as Lara Croft for another adventure. We know very, very little about the upcoming video-game adaptation, but Ben Wheatley has dropped out as director, with Misha Green (Lovecraft Country) replacing him. Filming was set to take place in a variety of countries across the globe, but was later whittled down to just England and South Africa. Now, with the director change, everything's unknown, but hopefully some good news will come soon.
