And here's a breakdown of each movie in greater detail.
1. Snow White
Rachel Zegler (West Side Story) stars as the live-action iteration of the iconic Disney heroine. Released in 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves pioneered the concept of feature-length animated movies. Now, director Marc Webb presents his new take with Wonder Woman's Gal Gadot in the role of the cackling Evil Queen.
2. A Minecraft Movie
If you've only just come to terms with your Minecraft addiction, the upcoming film adaptation may well set you back a few years. Jack Black and Jason Momoa star in this action-packed adventure, set in the famous world of moveable blocks where anything is possible.
3. Sinners
Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan reunite for this moody slice of American Deep South gothic. Jordan stars in a dual role, playing twin brothers who are drawn back to their hometown to face a diabolical evil. Sinners is coming at you in IMAX with a score from Oscar winner Ludwig Goransson.
4. Until Dawn
The smash-hit video game franchise gets its first film adaptation courtesy of horror veteran David F. Sandberg (Lights Out). When a group of friends find themselves caught in a bloodthirsty time loop, they must work out how to crack the code – or forever pay with their lives.
5. Thunderbolts*
Yes, the asterisk is deliberate. Meet the MCU's scrappy new team: a collection of mercenaries, misfits and vagabonds whom we've already met in several recent Marvel films. Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova and David Harbour's Red Guardian, both of whom debuted in 2021's Black Widow, are leading the cast.
6. Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning
Tom Cruise's unflappable super-spy Ethan Hunt faces the final curtain in the spectacular-looking follow-up to the nail-biting Dead Reckoning - Part I. Christopher McQuarrie works in tandem with Cruise to escalate the stunt work, including a mid-air biplane stand-off, while the rapidly expanding cast includes a consortium of new and familiar faces.
7. Lilo & Stitch live-action
We've got a soft spot for the 2002 Disney animation Lilo & Stitch, which paired a young Hawaiian girl with a hilarious dog-like alien from outer space. The original design of the quirky Stitch is preserved in this live-action take on the original film, and several cast members are also carried across.
8. From the World of John Wick: Ballerina
The bullet-ridden Keanu Reeves franchise expands to focus on a brand-new character. No Time To Die's Ana De Armas plays a ballerina turned deadly assassin out to take revenge on those who killed her family – and yes, Reeves' John Wick is set to make an appearance.
9. How to Train Your Dragon live-action
The hit DreamWorks franchise gets a fresh coat of paint as plucky young Viking Hiccup and his loyal dragon pal Toothless get the flesh-and-blood treatment. Well, sort of – Toothless is now CGI and his original design is preserved while the live-action cast includes Mason Thames as Hiccup and returning cast member Gerard Butler as Stoic the Vast.
10. Elio
Flush from their success with 2024's Inside Out 2, the animation wizards at Pixar are back. Elio is an intergalactic adventure focusing on a geeky young boy who finds himself negotiating the future of the entire universe.
11. 28 Years Later
From days to weeks to years – you can't make the horrifying rage virus go away. For the first time since the groundbreaking 28 Days Later in 2002, director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland have reunited. The virus has now mutated and so has the cast: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes star.
12. M3GAN 2.0
Get those dancing shoes ready because cinema's most memeable android companion is back. Following the hit M3GAN in 2023, the evil doll has gone to ground. However, she must be reawakened to battle an even deadlier threat. Gerald Johnstone, Akiva Schaffer and James Wan all reunite for more pulpy, comedically sly horror thrills.
13. F1
Brad Pitt puts his foot to the floor in this full-throttle racing epic from the Top Gun: Maverick crew of Joseph Kosinski, Jerry Bruckheimer and screenwriter Ehren Kruger. The film was shot on location at the bastion of British motor racing, Silverstone, and boasts the input of Britain's finest Lewis Hamilton, so there's no denying the film's ambition.
14. Jurassic World Rebirth
Return to a land that time forgot in the seventh instalment of the blockbusting Jurassic franchise. Remember, that's three Jurassic Park films and three Jurassic World entries. Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali are the cast members trying to avoid our pointy-toothed ancestors as they return to Jurassic Park's DNA testing site.
15. The Fantastic Four: First Steps
It's taken years for the Fantastic Four to be absorbed into the MCU. It's now set to become a reality under the direction of Matt Shakman. The talented cast is exactly who we imagined: Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch and Eben Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing.
16. The Bad Guys 2
Released in 2022, The Bad Guys was an irreverent animated caper that put a finger-snapping, anthropomorphic spin on the appeal of being bad. Sam Rockwell returns to voice our lupine master criminal in the sequel.
17. Nobody 2
Bob Odenkirk kicked all kinds of butt as an unlikely action hero in Nobody. Seriously, that bus fight sequence is one of the most bruising and brilliant scenes we've watched in years. How can Odenkirk possibly one-up the level of badassery in the sequel? Time will tell.
18. Untitled Conjuring film
19. Saw XI
Tobin Bell's fiendish Rube Goldberg-esque serial killer John Kramer/Jigsaw is back to tear limb from limb – or at least his traps are. Saw X (2023) was hailed as the best in the series since the original came out in 2004, so expectations are sky-high for this one.
20. The Bride!
Director Maggie Gyllenhaal presents her own take on the classic Universal Studios property The Bride of Frankenstein. She's courted an all-star cast to do the property justice: Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale, Penelope Cruz, Peter Saarsgard and Annette Bening feature in the heavyweight ensemble.
21. Tron: Ares
Oscar winner Jared Leto escapes into the world of the Grid in this sequel to 2010's Tron: Legacy. Expect to be blown away by all manner of neon-inflected CG visuals.
22. The Black Phone 2
Scott Derrickson's Joe Hill adaptation The Black Phone elicited strong performances from its young cast and an atypically creepy Ethan Hawke as The Grabber. Derrickson has promised that the follow-up will be nastier in line with the central ensemble's coming of age.
23. Mortal Kombat 2
Toasty! The 2021 Mortal Kombat movie reboot ignited our nostalgic yearning for bloodthirsty mayhem. Now, we get to witness a host of new fatalities with Karl Urban (Lord of the Rings) joining the cast as martial artist Johnny Cage.
24. Predator: Badlands
If it screens, we can watch it. The long-running Predator franchise, which started with the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, has spawned multiple sequels, spin-offs and reboots. Released in 2022, period history thriller Prey was arguably the best of the bunch, so it's good news that director Dan Trachtenberg is back to spearhead another Predator film, this time told from the hunter's point of view.
25. Wicked: For Good
Musical epic Wicked continues to defy gravity months after its release, having achieved blockbuster success and two Oscar wins. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande reprise their roles as Elphaba and Galinda in the second half of the Stephen Schwartz adaptation, which details Elphaba's inevitable descent into cackling evil.
26. The Running Man
Released in 1987, the Arnie cult classic The Running Man bore little resemblance to the Stephen King story that inspired it. Now, Cornetto Trilogy and Baby Driver helmer Edgar Wright is promising to deliver a more faithful take on King's thought-provoking and terrifying dystopia. He's certainly got the cast to match: in the lead is Twisters and Top Gun: Maverick's Glen Powell.
27. Zootropolis 2
In 2016, we were thoroughly won over by the Walt Disney Studios animation Zootropolis. It took place in a bustling city populated by anthropomorphic animals, a scenario that was rich with potential for humour and surprising political undercurrents. Ginnifer Goodwin is back as plucky police bunny Judy Hopps in the sequel, as is Jason Bateman as her wily fox sidekick Nick Wilde.
28. Five Nights at Freddy's 2
The jump-tastic point-and-click gaming franchise Five Nights at Freddy's has an unbelievably complex backstory, one that was distilled into the hit 2023 Blumhouse movie of the same name. The mechanised terrors are back for the sequel, once again led by the horrific Freddy.
29. Avatar: Fire and Ash
James Cameron continues to defy the odds with his sweeping Avatar series. In 2022, the sequel Avatar: The Way of Water somehow managed to match the scope, scale and success of the visually dazzling original from 2009. Now, we get to visit new fire and brimstone realms of the planet Pandora, the cast once again anchored by Sam Worthington as Jake Sully and newly minted Oscar winner Zoe Saldana as Neytiri.
30. Untitled Spongebob Squarepants Movie
31. Avengers: Doomsday
Following a recalibration at Marvel HQ, Robert Downey Jr. is back in the Marvel fold. However, he's not coming back as a multiverse iteration of Iron Man. Instead, he's portraying the Fantastic Four's greatest nemesis, Doctor Doom, hence the title of the new Avengers movie, which is brought to us by the Infinity War/Endgame duo of Joe and Anthony Russo.
32. The Odyssey
Oppenheimer filmmaker Christopher Nolan ventures into Ancient Greece to adapt Homer's epic text, one of the foundational cornerstones of all literature. The cast is impossibly jacked: Matt Damon is the journeying Odysseus while the support includes (deep breath) Tom Holland, Lupita Nyong'o, Charlize Theron, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Elliot Page and Jon Bernthal.
33. Avengers: Secret Wars
The second chapter in the MCU's two-part Avengers epic will be a key instalment in Marvel Phase 6. The Russos are on board and promise to spin gold in the same manner as Infinity War and Endgame.
