The Top forthcoming films, from Blonde to Black Panther 2, are listed below.
As we enter the second half of the year, there is surely no shortage of movies coming out, and there will be even more in 2023.

This fall, the big screen will also host Steven Spielberg's semi-autobiographical film The Fabelmans and Olivia Wilde's interesting drama Don't Worry, Darling.

Pearl
Release date: September 16, 2022
As a prelude to Ti West's X, Pearl gives the titular antagonist's history. Pearl must care for her ill father while residing on the family's remote farm under the stern and controlling supervision of her pious mother. In the gorgeous, technicolor-inspired origin narrative, Pearl's goals, temptations, and repressions all clash as she yearns for the luxurious life she has ever seen in movies.
Don't Worry Darling
Release date: September 23, 2022
In the 1950s, the psychological suspense novel Don't Worry Darling is set. Florence Pugh plays Alice, a miserable housewife, and Harry Styles plays Jack, her husband, who is keeping a terrible secret. It is Olivia Wilde's first feature since Booksmart. Is their area really as idyllic as it seems? So far, so enigmatic. Starring with Wilde are Chris Pine, Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, Nick Kroll, and more.
Amsterdam
Release date: October 7, 2022
Amsterdam will be the first film David O. Russell has directed since Joy in 2015. It centers on three friends who are the main suspects in a 1930s murder: a doctor, a nurse, and an attorney (Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, and John David Washington). Robert De Niro, Anya Taylor-Joy, Rami Malek, Chris Rock, Zoe Saldana, and Mike Myers round out the remainder of the ensemble cast's impressive list of actors.
Halloween Ends
Release date: October 14, 2022
Jamie Lee Curtis comments to Total Film on playing Laurie Strode once more in the third and final installment of the rebooted Halloween trilogy: "I would say, given what I know about the next movie, I think it will be the last time that I play her." "Furthermore, I'm not saying, "Oh, because I die!" There is no connection there at all. I'm referring to the emotional framework they have created. It will, in my opinion, be a magnificent way to wrap out this trilogy."
While filmmaker David Gordon Green says that Halloween Ends would be a departure from previous installments, producer Malek Akkad suggests that "the last one is going to be considerably more controlled." "I engage people by acting in a unique way. I would give the helm to someone else if I was only going to repeat myself. It's a lot of fun to consider new ways to express yourself and grow when you have the chance to do so inside a well-known franchise "Green claims.
To put it another way, be ready for a bloody good time and a major conclusion for the characters we have grown to know and love over the past few decades. Hopefully Green can give Laurie Strode the send-off she deserves.
The Banshees of Inisherin
Release date: October 21, 2022
The Banshees of Inisherin, which is set against the backdrop of the Irish Civil War, revolves on two longtime friends Padraic (Colin Farrell) and Colm (Brendan Gleeson), who are put in an awkward predicament when Colm decides he no longer wants to be friends. Martin McDonagh, who wrote and directed In Bruges, reunites Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson for his first feature since Three Billboards.
Black Adam
Release date: October 21, 2022
It's almost remarkable that Dwayne Johnson has never appeared as a comic-book superhero before, given his massive build and outsized personality. But as he enters the DC Universe as Black Adam, everything is about to change as he upsets the established order.
While Black Adam, also known as Teth-Adam, may not be well-known to the general public (yet), Johnson has been working on the character as a passion project for more than ten years. One of DC Comics' most potent characters is the antihero. Adam, a slave from Kahndaq who received abilities from the wizard Shazam, decided to choose a dark road in seeking retribution against those who had mistreated him and was willing to use any means necessary to make amends.
Johnson calls the character "a terrible motherf*cker." And that's what drew him in, despite having several opportunity to play superheroes in the meantime, to hold out for 10 years to play him.
"There were no official proposals made. Conversations with studio executives were constant "He says to Total Film. "But Black Adam had always had a special, distinct quality. Depending on how you define a villain, he was either an antihero or a villain. I adored the notion that his fury and anguish was caused by loss and were stoked by tyranny. And eventually, he became resistant to being restrained. You will perish if you harm him, his loved ones, or his people. Period. It really is that easy."
There is no doubt that Black Adam will rock the DC Extended Universe to its very core. Following Jungle Cruise, Johnson comments on working with director Jaume Collet-Serra again as follows: "We connected right away because we were all like, "OK, our aim and our North Star is the DC Universe's power structure is going to alter." Let's be brave. So let's get started. Let's be destructive as well."
The Justice Society of America and the antihero square off in a new teaser that made its debut at SDCC. He claims that his abilities are a curse that was "created out of wrath," not a gift. Then, as Pierce Brosnan's Doctor Fate cautions him, we watch Black Adam in action as he attempts to save the Earth.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Release date: November 11, 2022
The difficult task for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever director Ryan Coogler was figuring out how to develop a sequel after Chadwick Boseman passed away. Production and development vice president Nate Moore recently provided clarification in support of remarks made by Kevin Feige, saying, "At no time did we contemplate recasting, as difficult as it is narratively to figure out what to do, because that's a large void.
Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke, and Martin Freeman, who are all returning, will excel in their roles. New additions to the cast include Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams, who will soon be the showrunner of Disney Plus' Ironheart, Michaela Coel as Aneka, a former leader of the Dora Milaje, and Tenoch Huerta as Namor, the undersea tyrant.
The first trailer for the film, which debuted at SDCC, also features a new Black Panther. It's possible that the person wearing the iconci costume is T'Challa's sister Shuri (Wright) or undercover snoop Nakia (N'yongo), but we'll have to wait a little while longer to find out for sure.
Regardless of how things turn out, Duke (M'Baku) calls the filmmaking process "emotional": Now that we are all grieving together and have become somewhat of a family, we are creating something very unique. So, fit for a king.
Avatar 2
Release date: December 16, 2022
Despite the extremely lengthy wait—Avatar debuted in 2009 and broke movie office records—the sequel is almost here. What, then, took so long? Producer Jon Landau claims that drafting not one, but four scripts for the anticipated succession of sequels leading up to Avatar 5 was a major contributing factor.
The screenplays serve as our guide, according to Landau, speaking to Total Film. Since each of those four screenplays had to separately resolve itself in a plot that culminates with a strong emotional ending, writing took up a significant chunk of our time. However, when you look at them all together, the interwoven story arc of all four movies produces an even greater epic saga.
The Sully family is where Avatar 2 explicitly starts up, and both in the fictional world and in real life, time has passed. Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana's characters, Jake and Neytiri, are now parents. According to Landau, "Jim [Cameron] always writes in universal themes that are broader than any one genre in any of his movies, and I think the plot of Avatar 2 and the power of the story is what he did," "There is actually no more universal topic than family, if you stop to think about it. The Sully family is at the heart of each of our follow-up stories. What processes do parents go through to safeguard their family?"
When the RDA mining operation comes to Pandora, the Sullys' idyllic life is upended, prompting Jake to move the family to "what is viewed as a safe harbor" near the reef. Landau says, "And when you go to the reef, there's a tribe we call the Metkayina. "The Sully family is no longer in the jungle, which is their familiar setting. They start acting like an outcast. They start to feel like a fish out of water in terms of both culture and surroundings."
White Noise
Release date: December 30, 2022
White Noise, a film that Noah Baumbach both wrote and directed, is a remake of Don DeLillo's 1985 best-selling book of the same name. The world of Prof. Jack Gladney (Adam Driver), a professor of Hitler studies who obsesses about the certainty of death, is flipped upside down after a catastrophic train accident spreads toxic waste over the city, resulting in "The Airborne Toxic Event," a doomsday scenario. Greta Gerwig, Andre Benjamin, Jodie Turner-Smith, Don Cheadle, and Lars Eidinger are also featured in the movie.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
Release date: February 17, 2023
The terrible Kang the Conqueror (played by Jonathan Majors) awaits Scott Lang, a.k.a. Ant-Man, in this sequel, while MODOK is also slated to make an appearance. But there are also enemies, with Evangeline Lilly reprising her role as Hope, Michael Douglas playing Dr. Hank Pym, Michelle Pfeiffer playing Janet Van Dyne, and Kathryn Newton joining the ensemble as Cassie, Scott's daughter.
John Wick 4
Release date: March 24, 2023
The epidemic and Reeves' commitment to The Matrix Resurrections both caused delays, but in June 2021, production on the fourth John Wick film eventually got underway. The movie is supposedly titled John Wick 4: Hagakure, which is the name of a novel by the warrior Yamamoto Tsunetomo. The phrase "the road of the warrior is death" is renowned from the book "A Warrior's Guide," which translates to "hidden by the leaves."
It will pick up where the third chapter left off, with master assassin Wick (Keanu Reeves) being sought after by everyone because of the $14 million bounty on his head. Like the first three films, this new installment is directed by martial arts expert-turned-stuntman-turned-kamikaze-filmmaker Chad Stahelski. However, don't count on him to accept his lot in life; instead, our favorite murderer is set to take on The High Table, the organization of crime lords that rules the criminal underground and which put the price tag between his eyes for the assailants to aim at.
Reeves has promised the action set-pieces would be "incredible," and John Wick Chapter 4 will expand on the universe of the first three films. Reeves, Ian McShane, Laurence Fishburne, and Lance Reddick, who had already appeared in the film, will be joined by newcomers Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgrd, Clancy Brown, and Marko Zaror from Alita: Battle Angel as a new antagonist. Don't anticipate a cheerful conclusion; instead, prepare for thrills, (blood) spills, and several killings.
At San Diego Comic-Con, the first action-packed teaser trailer for the film was unveiled, asking, "Have you given any consideration to where this ends?"
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
Release date: May 5, 2023
The Guardians have reached their final chapter; director James Gunn has stated that this is the last time we'll see this eclectic group battle galactic villains. Whichever horrors they encounter this time will be played by Will Poulter as Adam Warlock and Chukwudi Iwuji, star of Peacemaker, as the High Evolutionary. In addition, it goes without saying that Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Karen Gillian, Pom Klementeiff, and Vin Diesel will all be back.
The Flash
Release date: June 23, 2023
Want more Batman after watching The Batman? Then welcome The Flash, which will debut soon and will be directed by It's Andy Muschietti. Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton, two past Bat-leads, will appear despite George Clooney's denial of any participation. Though the legendary actor did admit that wearing the cape again after around 30 years felt "shockingly normal" for him, Keaton's storyline role is still under-developed.
What you will see in Flash is going to be a really profound, emotional narrative, but it's also going to be incredibly humorous and a huge epic journey... [and] also horrifying at moments, Muschietti teases chills among a multiverse of tones. According to the screenwriter of the movie, Muschietti is the perfect choice for that tonal fiesta. According to Christina Hodson, who drew inspiration from the Flashpoint storyline for a tale featuring time travel, the death of Barry Allen's mother, and the creation of DC's multiverse, "He can move from humorous to terrifying to heartbreaking extremely fast."
The movie's antagonist is also a mystery; at a DC FanDome session, Ezra Miller, the Scarlet Speedster, suggested there may be many, none, or something more enigmatic at play. Which is advantageous for a villain, Miller observed, "until they POP OUT!," to have a sense of mystery.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One
Release date: July 14, 2023
Yes, there have already been six of these high-octane blockbusters, and there is a compelling reason why the series will continue. Tom Cruise was made to perform life-threatening stunts, and this series is jam-packed with them. Hayley Atwell and Pom Klementieff, who are newbies to the series, are with him this time, and Ving Rhames, Henry Czerny, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, and Angela Bassett all return in their roles from the previous films. A sequel, tentatively named Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part Two, is already scheduled for 2024, and Christopher McQuarrie is back in the director's chair.
Blade
Release date: November 3, 2023
After making a vocal appearance in the Eternals post-credits sequence, Mahershala Ali plays the vampire-hunting antihero in Blade. The cast also includes Delroy Lindo and Aaron Pierre from The Underground Railroad, and Mogul Mowgli filmmaker Bassam Tariq is at the helm. The screenplay is being written by Stacy Osei-Kuffour, who previously worked on HBO's Watchmen series.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
Release date: December 25, 2023
Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom is directed by James Wan once more. Regardless of the fact that The Conjuring director's standalone Black Manta film project, which was slated to be released as a monster spin-off called The Trench, was scrapped: In the follow-up to the 2018 smash blockbuster, which had more legs with ticket purchasers than an octopus on drums, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II's David Kane/Manta continues to seek revenge on Aquaman. Jason Momoa returns to the action alongside Dolph Lundgren, Patrick Wilson, and Amber Heard, this time donning a darker, bluer "stealth" costume modeled by the camouflage abilities of cephalopods.
Producer Peter Safran reiterates the series' belief in overindulgence, saying, "We have cranked the dials up to 11." Director James Wan promises "a movie that's more mature [than Aquaman] but yet still keeps its pleasure." In addition to Safran's tribute to Spinal Tap, Wan makes parallels to horror films by promising both genre aspects and nodding to Mario Bava's stunning, pre-Alien 1965 stunner Planet of the Vampires.
A monster or ten, as well as the forgotten undersea country Necrus, may also be involved. The concept art discovered for FanDome includes images of Curry riding a seahorse, toothy oceanic tentacles, and sand animals. For Momoa, the physically demanding filming wasn't all pleasant sailing. "I'm just being banged up," he moaned on The Ellen Show. It seems like DC isn't holding back with this.
