Spring 2026
The Bride! — March 6, 2026
Maggie Gyllenhaal directs this bold reimagining of Bride of Frankenstein with Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley leading the cast. Early buzz suggests it's going for something far more ambitious than a simple horror remake — think dark fairy tale meets prestige drama.
Release date: March 6, 2026
Project Hail Mary — March 20, 2026
Ryan Gosling stars as a lone astronaut who wakes up on a spacecraft with no memory of how he got there — and quickly realizes he's humanity's last hope. Based on the bestselling novel by Andy Weir (the author of The Martian), this one has massive potential to be the sci-fi hit of the year.
Release date: March 20, 2026
The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 — April 3, 2026
After the first film made over $1.3 billion worldwide, Nintendo and Illumination are back with a sequel that's rumored to take Mario and friends into space — Super Mario Galaxy style. Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black, and the rest of the cast are all returning.
Release date: April 3, 2026
Early Summer 2026
The Mandalorian & Grogu — May 22, 2026
The beloved Star Wars series makes the jump to the big screen. Pedro Pascal returns as Din Djarin alongside everyone's favorite tiny green companion. Jon Favreau directs this theatrical chapter that promises to raise the stakes for the entire Star Wars universe.
Release date: May 22, 2026
Backrooms — May 29, 2026
The internet's creepiest creepypasta gets the A24 treatment. If you've ever fallen down the YouTube rabbit hole of liminal spaces and endless yellow hallways, this movie is for you. Details are still light, but the concept alone has horror fans counting down the days.
Release date: May 29, 2026
Toy Story 5 — June 19, 2026
Pixar is bringing the gang back one more time. After Toy Story 4 gave us what felt like a perfect ending, the fifth installment reportedly deals with Woody, Buzz, and friends navigating a world where kids are more interested in tablets and phones than physical toys. If anyone can make us cry about plastic cowboys again, it's Pixar.
Release date: June 19, 2026
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow — June 26, 2026
The new DCU kicks into high gear with Milly Alcock (Rhaenyra from House of the Dragon) taking on the role of Kara Zor-El. Directed by Craig Gillespie and based on the acclaimed Tom King comic run, this is DC's big bet on a fresh start.
Release date: June 26, 2026
Summer Blockbuster Season
Minions & Monsters — July 1, 2026
Illumination's Minions franchise isn't slowing down anytime soon. This time around, the lovable yellow chaos agents are apparently dealing with monsters. Details are scarce, but given that every Minions movie prints money at the box office, expect this to be a massive family draw.
Release date: July 1, 2026
Moana (Live-Action) — July 10, 2026
Disney's live-action remake machine turns its attention to Moana, with Catherine Laga'aia stepping into the title role and Dwayne Johnson returning as Maui. Expect stunning ocean visuals and Lin-Manuel Miranda's songs reimagined for the big screen.
Release date: July 10, 2026
The Odyssey — July 17, 2026
This is the one everyone's talking about. Christopher Nolan adapts Homer's epic poem with a cast that reads like someone's dream list: Matt Damon, Zendaya, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, and Charlize Theron. Shot on IMAX, this could be the defining cinematic experience of the year. If you liked Oppenheimer, buckle up.
Release date: July 17, 2026
Spider-Man: Brand New Day — July 31, 2026
Tom Holland swings back as Peter Parker in the next chapter of Sony and Marvel's Spider-Man saga. Plot details are under wraps, but the title hints at a fresh start for the wall-crawler after the universe-bending events of No Way Home.
Release date: July 31, 2026
Fall 2026
Practical Magic 2 — September 11, 2026
Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman reunite for the long-awaited sequel to the 1998 cult classic. The original has only grown in popularity over the decades, and fans have been begging for a follow-up. It's finally happening.
Release date: September 11, 2026
Digger — October 2, 2026
Tom Cruise teams up with Alejandro González Iñárritu (The Revenant, Birdman) in what could be the most artistically ambitious action movie ever made. When one of the biggest movie stars alive works with one of the most daring directors alive, you pay attention.
Release date: October 2, 2026
Winter 2026 (Award Season & Blockbusters)
The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping — November 20, 2026
The Hunger Games universe expands again with this prequel set during the Second Quarter Quell — the 50th Hunger Games, which a young Haymitch Abernathy won. Based on Suzanne Collins' novel, this fills in one of the most referenced events in the original trilogy.
Release date: November 20, 2026
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair — November 26, 2026
Greta Gerwig (Barbie, Little Women) takes on Narnia for Netflix. After years of the franchise sitting dormant, this fresh adaptation has serious creative firepower behind it. Expect something visually inventive and emotionally resonant.
Release date: November 26, 2026
Avengers: Doomsday — December 18, 2026
The big one. Robert Downey Jr. returns to the MCU — but not as Tony Stark. He's playing Doctor Doom, and the Russo Brothers are back in the director's chairs. This is the culmination of Marvel's current saga and easily the most anticipated superhero movie in years.
Release date: December 18, 2026
Dune: Part Three — December 18, 2026
Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi epic concludes. After Dune and Dune: Part Two redefined what modern science fiction can look like on the big screen, the trilogy finale is one of the most anticipated films of the decade. Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, and the full cast return.
