The
following
is
a
list
of
upcoming
Hollywood
films
scheduled
for
release
this
year,
that
are
highly
anticipated,
in
my
opinion.
If
you
feel
we
have
missed
out
on
something
that
fits
the
category,
do
let
us
know
in
the
comments.
The
release
dates
mentioned
indicate
the
theatrical
release
date
in
the
USA
unless
otherwise
mentioned.

Blonde

Blonde
stars
the
hypnotic
Ana
de
Armas
as
Marilyn
Monroe.
That
should
be
enough
to
add
this
to
your
watchlist,
but
let
me
give
some
more
details.
The
film
is
written
and
directed
by
Andrew
Dominik.

Blonde
is
based
on
a
biographical
novel
of
the
same
title,
written
by
Joyce
Carol
Oates.
The
film’s
cast
includes
Adrien
Brody,
Bobby
Cannavale,
Xavier
Samuel,
and
Julianne
Nicholson.

Blonde
premiered
at
the
Venice
Film
Festival
and
has
been
released
in
select
theatres.
The
film
has
received
positive
reviews
so
far.
Rafa
Sales
Ross,
in
her
review
for
the
BBC,
wrote
this
about
the
film,
“Blonde‘s
greatest
merit
is
its
frankness
–
it
tells
you
what
it
is
about
to
do
and
then
does
it.
It
is
a
poignant
framing
for
a
film
about
a
woman
who
lived
her
entire
life
denied
that
predictability.”

Amsterdam

This
period
drama
stars
Christian
Bale,
Margot
Robbie,
and
John
David
Washington
in
the
lead
roles.
The

shiny
with
popular
names
including
Chris
Rock,
Anya-Taylor
Joy,
Zoe
Saldana,
Taylor
Swift,
Rami
Malek,
and
Robert
de
Niro.

Amsterdam
is
supposed
to
be
a
murder
mystery.
This
is
how
Wikipedia
describes
the
film’s
premise:
“Three
friends-a
doctor,
a
nurse,
and
an
attorney-become
the
prime
suspects
in
a
murder
in
the
1930s.”

Amsterdam
is
produced,
written,
and
directed
by
David
O.
Russell,
who
also
directed
my
personal
favourite

Silver
Linings
Playbook.
Amsterdam
had
its
premiere
at
the
Alice
Tully
Hall,
New
York,
on
September
18.

Black
Adam

The
character
Black
Adam
initially
was
supposed
to
be
a
villain
in
DCEU’s

Shazam,
but
then
it
was
decided
that
he
would
get
his
own
film.
Dwayne
“The
Rock”
Johnson
plays
the
titular
character.

The
film
is
directed
by
Jaume
Collet-Serra.

Black
Adam
was
written
by
Adam
Sztykiel
originally,
and
after
the
pandemic
delay,
Rory
Haines
and
Sohrab
Noshirvani
were
hired
to
rewrite
the
script.

The
plot
is
expected
to
be
about
how
the
members
of
the
Justice
Society
of
America,
handle
Black
Adam
as
he
enters
the
modern
world
after
his
millennia-long
imprisonment.

Enola
Holmes
2

Enola
Holmes
was
an
endearing
experiment
at
creating
a
female
teenage
version
of
the
esteemed
detective
Sherlock
Holmes,
in
the
form
of
his
sister.
While
Enola
isn’t
exactly
Sherlock,
she
does
remind
us
of
the
shrewd
detective
a
lot.
The
Enola
Holmes
films
are
based
on
the
book
series,
‘The
Enola
Holmes
Mysteries’ by
Nancy
Springer.

Millie
Bobby
Brown,
Henry
Cavill
and
Helena
Bonham
Carter
reprise
their
roles
as
Enola
Holmes,
Sherlock
Holmes
and
Eudoria
Holmes,
among
other
characters.
The
sequel
is
supposed
to
be
about
the
missing
sister
of
a
girl,
who
works
in
a
match
factory.
The
film
is
written
by
Jack
Thorne
and
directed
by
Harry
Bradbeer.

Black
Panther
–
Wakanda
Forever

It
was
a
debate
as
to
whether
T’Challa
would
be
recast
after
the
untimely
demise
of
Chadwick
Boseman.
The
makers
decided
to
not
recast
the
character
and
went
on
to
rework
the
story
accordingly.
It
is
expected
that
the
film
would
be
set
in
a
time
after
King
T’Challa’s
death.

The
film
is
written
by
Ryan
Coogler
and
Joe
Robert
Cole,
and
directed
by
Ryan
Coogler.
Black
Panther
–
Wakanda
Forever
is
believed
to
be
the
final
film
in
phase
4
of
MCU.
Kevin
Feige
stated
that
the
sequel
would
explore
the
world
and
characters
of
the
first
film
as
a
way
to
honor
the
legacy
that
Boseman
helped
build.

The

Of

We
have
to
take
this
release
date
a
with
pinch
of
salt,
or
whatever
is
Pandora’s
equivalent
to
salt,
but
hopefully,
we
will
get
to
see
the
most
awaited
sequel
ever
in
all
of
human
history,

Avatar
–
The
Way
Of
Water,
this
December.

The
film’s
writing
took
close
to
four
years
when
we
look
back
at
it.
Producing
three
films
simultaneously
is
not
a
small
feat
by
any
means.
The
crew
had
to
work
on
underwater
performance
capturing,
and
this
might
be
the
first
instance
of
such
an
attempt
across
the
globe.
The
confidence,
passion,
and
persistence
behind
this
production
are
inspiring
to
say
the
least.
James
Cameron
plans
to
show
us
all
of
the
Avatar
films
by
the
year
2028.
The
timeline
of
this
franchise
makes
me
dizzy.

It
is
said
that
Steven
Gould
has
been
hired
to
write
novels
based
on
the
Avatar
sequels
as
part
of
the
promotion.
Steven
Gould
is
known
for
his
novel
Jumper,
which
was
adapted
into
a
feature
film
in
2008.

Mystery

Daniel
Craig
reprises
his
role
as
Benoit
Blanc
in
the
sequel
to
the
2019
mystery
drama,
Knives
Out.
And
apparently,
he
will
be
solving
crime
in
Greece
this
time.

The

also
stars
Edward
Norton,
Janelle

Babylon

Margot
Robbie
and
Brad
Pitt
look
crazy
in
the
trailer,
in
a
good,
positive,
and
interesting
way.
It
appears
that
the
story
might
involve
a
film
about
Babylon.
I
might
be
wrong.

The
story
follows
actor
Manny
Torres
played
by
Diego
Calva.
Set
in
the
1920s,
the
film’s
promos
make
the
era
look
more
fun
than
in
the
2020s.
Margot
Robbie
and
Brad
Pitt
are
no
strangers
to
eccentric
performances
and
this
film
looks
like
it
has
given
them
something
to
work
on.

Babylon
is
written
by
and
directed
by
the
Academy
Award
winner
Damien
Chazelle.

La
La
Land
is
still
fresh
in
our
minds
that
we
forget
it
was
six
years
back.

Babylon
should
definitely
be
checked
out.
