Rewrite
From a continuation of the Facebook saga to a trip to Ancient Greece and the return of the universe’s mightiest heroes: here’s the films to look out for this year.
It’s fair to say 2025 was a year of motion for cinema. Superhero movies found new roots in tone and stories – from James Gunn’s gaudy Superman to Jake Schreier’s mismatched but compelling Thunderbolts. Horror ruled the roost – from Ryan Coogler’s fiercely entertaining Sinners to Zach Cregger’s ensemble cult horror Weapons. And the auteurs laid down their marker on the future of the blockbuster – from Paul Thomas Anderson’s pitch-perfect action drama One Battle After Another to Josh Safdie’s outrageous sports epic Marty Supreme.
It’s no hyperbole to suggest 2026 is a defining year. Theatres are closing, streamers are circling in. We need the mainstream films to find the quality to match their budgets. We need the independents to innovate more than ever. And we need to stop making so many damn remakes and sequels.
The latter is certainly not happening this year. Over half of the films listed below are rehashes or continuations of known stories. Some are more welcomed than others: The Social Reckoning, for one, with Aaron Sorkin returning to the Facebook story to write and direct, and Jeremy Strong taking over from Jesse Eisenberg as the infamous Mark Zuckerberg, is an intriguing prospect. Wuthering Heights is yet to have a definitive film adaptation – could Emerald Fennell’s Elordi-Robbie period piece fill the role? And will the Russo Brothers return to the fray for Avengers: Doomsday get Marvel back on track?
There’s plenty of exciting originals, too. Norwegian auteur Kristoffer Borgli somehow convinced Robert Pattinson and Zendaya to star in an A24 indie – that script must be special. Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi comeback is welcomed with open arms. And Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s first film in 10 years starring a re-incentivised Tom Cruise? Yes please.
Enough speculation. Below, we dive into 18 of the most anticipated films of the year.
The Moment
Director: Aidan Zamiri
Starring: Charli xcx, Alexander Skarsgard, Rachel Sennott
Due: 20th January 2026
In A Nutshell: Based on an idea that she came up with herself, which appears to mirror and/or satirise her monumental rise to global supremacy in 2024, Charli xcx leads a cast that makes the esteemed members of the chronically online’s eyes pop out in The Moment. Directed by photographer and friend Aidan Zamiri, the film will follow Charli as a pop star dealing with industry politics and fame’s ups and downs.
“Wuthering Heights“
Director: Emerald Fennell
Starring: Margot Robbie, Jacob Elordi, Owen Cooper
Due: 13th February 2026
In A Nutshell: Marrying such a stone-classic piece of literature with a stylish and particular auteur feels like a risk – one that might well be worth taking. Based on Emily Brontë’s Gothic 1847 tale of love, animalism and revenge, “Wuthering Heights” is being reinterpreted once again for the screen, this time with Saltburn breakout Emerald Fennell behind the lens. Hollywood titans Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi take on the leading roles of Cathy and Heathcliff in what could be one of the year’s defining pictures or a wasteful trip to the Yorkshire moors.
The Bride!
Director: Maggie Gyllenhaal
Starring: Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale, Jake Gyllenhaal
Due: 6th March 2026
In A Nutshell: 2026 looks set to be the year that Jessie Buckley, the Irish powerhouse, finally gains her flowers as one of the best actors working today. Alongside Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet, which she feels guaranteed to pick up her second Academy Award nomination (hot on the heels of a Critics’ Choice Award win for Best Actress last Sunday), Buckley leads Maggie Gyllenhaal’s sophomore feature, The Bride. Depicting the story of The Bride of Frankenstein as never seen before, the film also stars screen juggernaut Christian Bale and the director’s brother, Jake. Let’s hope we aren’t all Frankenstein-ed out after Del Toro’s sprawling ’25 take on the classic.
The Drama
Director: Kristoffer Borgli
Starring: Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Alana Haim
Due: 3rd April 2026
In A Nutshell: After being very selective with their roles over the last five years, both Robert Pattinson and Zendaya seem to be in every major film this year, from Dune: Part 3 to The Odyssey. But A24’s comedic indie offering The Drama bucks the pair’s blockbuster trend. Directed by Norwegian visionary Kristoffer Borgli, best known for his darkly humorous original offerings such as 2022’s Sick of Myself and 2023’s Dream Scenario, the film follows an engaged couple whose relationship hits the rocks when a grim and unexpected secret emerges. To say we’re intrigued is an understatement.
The Devil Wears Prada 2
Director: David Frankel
Starring: Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Anne Hathaway
Due: 1st May 2026
In A Nutshell: 20 years – yes, 20 years – since the cult favourite original defined a generation of go-getters, The Devil Wears Prada is returning for a sequel. With director David Frankel and key cast members Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway all returning, the film is gung-hoing its way to box office domination. Let’s pray it avoids the legacy sequel curse.
Disclosure Day
Director: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Josh O’Connor, Emily Blunt, Colman Domingo
Due: 12th June 2026
In A Nutshell: The king is back! From E.T. to Jurassic Park, Steven Spielberg has a 50-year legacy of telling unique and captivating stories. His latest, due this summer, sees Spielberg returning to sci-fi with Disclosure Day, an alien invasion epic that hosts an A-list cast of Josh O’Connor, Emily Blunt, Colin Firth, and Colman Domingo.
Toy Story 5
Director: McKenna Harris, Andrew Stanton
Starring: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack
Due: 19th June 2026
In A Nutshell: Another franchise being brought back for seemingly no reason but to keep churning the cash cow, Toy Story returns with its fifth film across four decades. All the familiar voices are back – including Tom Hanks as Woody and Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear – and the gang are set to face new challenges in a modern world. Yes, you can argue the previous sequels have not forsaken the magic and warmth of the 1995 original, but can they make it five from five? Here’s hoping.
Supergirl
Director: Craig Gillespie
Starring: Milly Alcock, Eve Ridley, Matthias Schoenaerts
Due: 26th June 2026
In A Nutshell: We were briefly introduced to Milly Alcock’s take on the character in the backend of James Gunn’s warmly received Superman last summer. Now, it’s time for Alcock to take centre stage. Directed by Craig Gillespie, whose credits include Cruella and I, Tonya, Supergirl will follow its titular character’s origin story with a seemingly crowd-pleasing comedic edge in what is sure to be one of the year’s biggest blockbusters.
The Odyssey
Director: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway
Due: 17th July 2026
In A Nutshell: After his box office and critical colossus Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan sits comfortably at the top of the in-demand director tree. Rather than gather his flowers following his Oscar wins, he jumps straight back in with his most ambitious and reportedly most expensive project to date. The Odyssey adapts Homer’s Ancient Greek juggernaut – sprawling across folklores like Cyclops, Sirens, and the Trojan Horse – and stars seemingly everyone who has ever acted. Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Benny Safdie and Robert Pattinson lead the way.
Digger
Director: Alejandro G. Iñárritu
Starring: Tom Cruise, Riz Ahmed, Emma D’Arcy
Due: 2nd October 2026
In A Nutshell: It’s been over a decade since Alejandro G. Iñárritu won Best Director at the Academy Awards for his ice-cold survival thriller The Revenant (having won a trio of trophies the previous year for Birdman). Finally returning to the screen fray, let’s hope Digger is worth the wait. Starring a post-Mission Impossible Tom Cruise – in non-action acting mode for the first time in well over a decade – the so-far mysterious plot promises to be a comedy of catastrophic proportions.
The Social Reckoning
Director: Aaron Sorkin
Starring: Jeremy Strong, Jeremy Allen White, Mikey Madison
Due: 9th October 2026
In A Nutshell: Since the happenings of its origin predecessor, The Social Network, plenty has occurred in the world of Mark Zuckerberg. And, after years of rumours, we’re all getting the update; this time focused on a young engineer whistleblower and a Wall Street reporter – sound familiar? Aaron Sorkin, who wrote the 2010 film for David Fincher’s direction, returns to pen and to also step behind the camera this time, with a heavy trio of headliners starring – Anora’s Oscar-winner Mikey Madison, resident heartthrob Jeremy Allen White, and the new Zuckerberg himself in his biggest post-Kendall Roy role to date, Jeremy Strong.
The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping
Director: Francis Lawrence
Starring: Joseph Zada, Glenn Glose, Ralph Fiennes
Due: 20th November 2026
In A Nutshell: The Hunger Games series is back with arguably its most exciting prospect since the 2012 original. Adapting Suzanne Collins’ 2025 prequel novel, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping focuses on a young Haymitch Abernathy during the 50th Hunger Games. With The Long Walk director Francis Lawrence behind the lens and a stacked cast including Ralph Fiennes, Glenn Close, Kieran Culkin and Elle Fanning, there’s plenty to suggest this could be the best entry into the franchise to date.
Avengers: Doomsday
Director: Joe Russo, Anthony Russo
Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans
Due: 18th December 2026
In A Nutshell: Since the outright success of its climactic Avengers Endgame, it’s been a ropey few years for Marvel, with quantity over quality very much the business model. Criticism has rightly come their way, but there’s the feeling that this year could well be the one to get them back on track. First, an opening inauguration into a new Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy in the summer, before the latest entry into the Avengers canon. From the short snippet teasers we’ve seen so far, Doomsday promises to bring back old favourites, merge cinematic universes (feels worth it for Sir Ian McKellen alone), and set up a chain of events that will thrill us for years to come. No pressure, then?
Dune: Part 3
Director: Denis Villeneuve
Starring: Timothée Chalamet, Florence Pugh, Zendaya
Due: 18th December 2026
In A Nutshell: 18th December this year is going to make Barbenheimer look like going to the Norwich Odeon at 11am on a Tuesday. The return of the biggest franchise of the 2010s in Avengers versus arguably the biggest, when considering scale, acclaim and box office, of the 2020s so far. Denis Villeneuve is tying together his excellent Dune saga with a third film that picks up years after the world-altering events of the second part, and will see Chalamet return as a now older Paul Atreides, alongside Zendaya, Florence Pugh, and newcomer Robert Pattinson, who is in more blockbuster films this year than he has been in the years since Twilight put together.
The Adventures Of Cliff Booth
Director: David Fincher
Starring: Brad Pitt, Elizabeth Debicki, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II
Due: Unknown, expected Summer 2026
In A Nutshell: Brad Pitt re-entering the world of the character that finally won him an Oscar? David Fincher directing a Quentin Tarantino script? The first sort of sequel from the mind of Tarantino since Kill Bill 2? Things are looking good for The Adventures Of Cliff Booth. Plot so far mostly cloaked in mystery and an unknown launch date, we’re thirsty for further information on this one.
The Entertainment System Is Down
Director: Ruben Östlund
Starring: Keanu Reeves, Kirsten Dunst, Tobias Menzies
Due: Due: Unknown, expected Autumn 2026
In A Nutshell: Ruben Östlund’s films – from the ghastly hilarious Triangle of Sadness to the razor-sharp satire of The Square – alter your brain chemistry. The Swedish director’s latest, entitled The Entertainment System Is Down, sounds suitably, wonderfully weird. Boasting a cast as wide-ranging as Julie Delpy, Kirsten Dunst and Keanu Reeves, the film will involve its viewers in a long-haul flight where the entertainment system is down, and passengers must occupy themselves. Sounds terrifying.
Fjord
Director: Cristian Mungiu
Starring: Sebastian Stan, Renate Reinsve
Due: Due: Unknown, expected late 2026
In A Nutshell: Fjord is the first English language film from acclaimed Romanian director Cristian Mungiu – best known for his Palme d’Or winning 2007 masterpiece, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days. It stars actors of the moment, Sentimental Value’s Renate Reinsve and The Apprentice’s Sebastian Stan, the latter of whom finds himself in a film made in the nation he was born in, Romania, for the very first time.
Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew
Director: Greta Gerwig
Starring: Emma Mackey, Daniel Craig, Carey Mulligan
Due: Due: Unknown, expected November 2026
In A Nutshell: Perhaps one of the biggest book franchises that, at least sort of, flopped on the big screen, the fantastical world of C.S. Lewis’ Narnia is getting another shot at cinematic domination. The filmmaker planting their sword? Greta Gerwig, hot off the success of the cultural phenomenon Barbie. The writer and director will be hoping for similar accolades here, in this rehashing of the classic tale that is set to star Emma Mackey and Daniel Craig in leading roles.
