Những gì sẽ được phát hành vào năm 2023?

2022 was a great year for films, but 2023 is absolutely going to give it a run for its money. In 2023, we'll have new films from Martin Scorsese, Greta Gerwig, Steve McQueen, Michael Mann, Ben Affleck, David Fincher, Francis Ford Coppola, Ridley Scott, Sofia Coppola, and very likely, two films from Wes Anderson and Yorgos Lanthimos. 2023 is also going to see the continuation of some major franchises, like Spider-Man. Across the Spider-Verse, Shazam. Fury of the Gods, The Hunger Games. The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Dune. Part Two, Mission. Impossible - Dead Reckoning (Part One), Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, and an absurd amount more

There's so much coming out in 2023, it was hard to narrow our list of most anticipated films to just 100. And these are just the films we know about at this point. By the end of 2023, with this lineup and everything else coming out throughout the year, we might be looking back at 2023 as one of the truly great film years. Here are 100 films coming out in 2023 to get excited about

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY

Editor's note. This article was updated March 2023 to include A Good Person

RELATED. The Best Films of 2022

Creed III (March 3)

Director. Michael B. Jordan

Cast. Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson, Jonathan Majors, Wood Harris, Florian Munteanu, and Phylicia Rashad

No longer in Rocky Balboa’s shadow, the Creed franchise fully pushes out on its own with Creed III, which not only brings back Michael B. Jordan’s underdog pugilist Adonis “Donnie” Creed, but also marks the actor’s directorial debut. Though the film will be the first Creed installment not to feature Sylvester Stallone as Rocky, it promises a match-up that’s going to be tough to beat. Jordan’s Creed will square off against Damian “Dame” Anderson, a childhood friend who was recently released from prison and is hoping to resume his boxing career. (We’re going to guess he’s also looking to resolve some outstanding grievances he has with Donnie. ) The best part? Anderson is played by Jonathan Majors, meaning Creed III will be putting two of our finest 30-something actors in opposite corners of the ring. That first-round bell can't come soon enough. – Robert Brian Taylor

Scream VI (March 10)

Director. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin

Cast. Melissa Barrera, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Jenna Ortega, Hayden Panettiere, and Courteney Cox

Hello Sid- oh. This movie is going to need a new line as for the first time in the franchise, which spans almost 30 years, Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott will not be appearing. Yes, the iconic final girl who has led the preceding five films is not returning. It makes this writer very apprehensive about this next feature as for me, and for a lot of fans, Neve Campbell’s Sidney is Scream. Campbell has said of her decision “ I felt the offer that was presented to me did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise. ” To think that the actress behind one of the most enduring final girls of all time was made to think that she wasn’t valuable to the franchise she helped build is incredibly sad not just for her, but for the Scream fanbase

But, the show must go on, I suppose. Scream VI will see Courteney Cox return as Gale Weathers as well as the new generation of victims from Scream 5. With Campbell gone, it’s probably safe to say that Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega’s sisters, Sam and Tara Carpenter, will be the official new final girls as the plot follows them being taunted by Ghostface again as they try to build a new life for themselves in New York City. Joining them are the legacy twins Mindy and Chad (Jasmin Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding) as well as Dermot Mulroney as a police officer. What die-hard Scream fans can really look forward to, though, is the return of Hayden Panettiere’s fan-favorite Kirby from Scream 4. It was only known after the release of the fifth film that Kirby survived. You’ll have to wait until March 10th, 2023 to see if the franchise can survive without its Queen. — Emma Kiely

65 (March 17)

Directors. Scott Beck and Bryan Woods

Cast. Adam Driver, Ariana Greenblatt, and Chloe Coleman

Originally the 65 of the title was supposed to be kept secret, but apparently, the Sony marketing team didn’t get the memo, or they changed their mind, because if you watch the trailer, it becomes pretty obvious what the 65 refers to. Adam Driver plays an intergalactic pilot who crashes onto a strange planet. He soon discovers he is stranded on Earth… but the Earth of 65 million years ago, which means he now has to contend with dinosaurs, all while figuring out how to get back to his own Earth. It’s horror, it’s sci-fi, it’s dinosaurs… it sounds like a delight. — Alyse Wax

Shazam. Fury of the Gods (March 17)

Director. David F. Sandberg

Cast. Zachary Levi, Asher Angel, Jack Dylan Grazer, Rachel Zegler, Adam Brody, Ross Butler, Meagan Good, Lucy Liu, Djimon Hounsou, and Helen Mirren

It’s been a rough year for DCU fans. When the reins for DC Studios were handed off to James Gunn and Peter Safran, the Snyderverse got shaken up, and many projects are now canned or up in the air. Fortunately, Shazam. Fury of the Gods, the sequel to 2019’s Shazam. , has been biding its time, with multiple release date push-backs. Better late than never, Fury of the Gods is bringing back Billy Batson (Asher Angel/Zachary Levi) and his foster siblings to further explore those new powers from the Council of Wizards. This time, it’s family vs. family when the Daughters of Atlas, Hespera (Helen Mirren), Kalypso (Lucy Liu), and Anthea (Rachel Zegler), come to collect the powers they believe were stolen from the gods. The question is, will we see more of Mr. Mind, and where did that dragon come from? — Tamera Jones

John Wick. Chapter 4 (March 24)

Director. Sam Fell

Cast. Thandiwe Newton, Zachary Levi, Bella Ramsey, David Bradley, Imelda Staunton, and Nick Mohammed

It’s been twenty years since we all nearly lost our heads with Aardman’s first feature film, Chicken Run. We watched with glee as Ginger (Julia Sawalha), the world’s most determined chicken, led a revolution against the cruel and greedy Mrs. Tweedy (Miranda Richardson). Joined by Rocky, the “flying rooster” (Mel Gibson), a group of chickens and two cocks’ Great Escape tale captivated audiences in the UK and beyond. Now, 23 years later, we are finally getting a sequel, Chicken Run. Dawn of the Nugget. Some of the voice cast has remained the same while a lot has been recast, namely Thandiwe Newton and Shazam. ‘s Zachary Levi as Ginger and Rocky, respectively. The Last of Us’ Bella Ramsey will also lend her voice to the sequel. Dawn of the Nugget’s plot details are still pretty under wraps but we do know that it will follow Ginger and the gang as they must break back into a chicken farm to save all of chicken-kind. If it’s anything like the original, we are in for a treat with a captivating story, enthralling characters, and magnificent animation from one of the world’s best studios. Dawn of the Nugget is due to be released on Netflix towards the end of 2023

Civil War (TBA)

Director. Alex Garland

Cast. Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Cailee Spaeny

Alex Garland's latest film, Civil War, is apparently an epic action film with a sci-fi allegory (nice. ), that Garland called a companion piece to 2022's Men (oh no). Garland is always interesting with his grand ideas, and even if Men didn't quite pay off as well as, say, Ex Machine or Annihilation, Garland is without a doubt one of the most ambitious directors working today. Garland taking Kirsten Dunst into space, c'mon, you can't help but be pumped for that idea. — Ross Bonaime

Dumb Money (TBA)

Image via DreamWorks

Director. Craig Gillespie

Cast. Paul Dano, Sebastian Stan, Seth Rogen, and Pete Davidson

Dumb Money is posed to be one of the weirdest and wildest movies of 2023 if they’re able to capture the chaos that went into the ripped-from-the-headlines story of the Reddit-fueled attempt to short squeeze GameStop in 20221. Yes, r/WallStreetBets changed the game only a year ago. Based on Ben Mezrich’s bestselling novel The Antisocial Network, with a screenplay adapted by Rebecca Angelo and Lauren Schuker Blum, Craig Gillespie’s Dumb Money has an insane cast that matches the insanity of the short squeeze. Sebastian Stan, Peter Davidson, Seth Rogen, and Paul Dano were the first fearsome foursome to join the cast, before being joined by Shailene Woodley, America Ferrera, Anthony Ramos, Nick Offerman, and Vincent D'Onofrio to really prove that Dumb Money has one of the best cast lists of the year. While the film may not become the next Social Network, it definitely has the potential to be one of the most talked about films next year. Between the cast and the morbid curiosity that plays into anything being pulled from the weird wild web—it’s a recipe for some kind of success. —Maggie Lovitt

The End (TBA)

Image via A24

Director. Joshua Oppenheimer

Cast. Tilda Swinton, Stephen Graham, and George MacKay

Joshua Oppenheimer made a name for himself with two of the greatest documentaries of the 2010s. 2012's The Act of Killing and 2014's The Look of Silence. His next project, his first in almost a decade, sounds like one of the biggest 180s in film history, as Oppenheimer is making a musical about the last human family starring Tilda Swinton, George MacKay, and Stephen Graham. For Oppenheimer's narrative debut, this sounds highly ambitious and naturally intriguing, and if this has half the power of Oppenheimer's documentaries, this could be truly great. — Ross Bonaime

Ferrari (TBA)

Image via Lorenzo Sisti

Director. Michael Mann

Cast. Adam Driver, Penélope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, Gabriel Leone, Sarah Gadon, Jack O'Connell, and Patrick Dempsey

After House of Gucci, hell yeah, another opportunity for Adam Driver to whip out his Italian accent. Driver will play Enzo Ferrari, the founder of the infamous car manufacturer, in Michael Mann's first film since 2015's Blackhat. Ferrari has long been a project Mann has considered making, and actors like Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, and even Syndey Pollack were considered for the title role. But c'mon, his last name is Driver. Adam was made for this role. Between this and Gran Turismo, 2023 is going to have a lot for car racing fans to get excited about. — Ross Bonaime

First Time Female Director (TBA)

Image via FOX

Director. Chelsea Peretti

Cast. Chelsea Peretti, Blake Anderson, Kate Berlant, Megan Mullaly, Benito Skinner, Megan Statler, Jak Knight, Max Greenfield, and Amy Poehler

Though she’s perhaps best known for her role as Gina on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Chelsea Peretti has been working behind the camera for many years, too, writing for iconic comedy shows like Parks and Recreation and Saturday Night Live. She will make her directorial debut this year in a movie appropriately titled First Time Female Director. The comedy will follow a local theater director struggling to fill the shoes of her male predecessor, putting the production in jeopardy. In addition to Peretti, the film will feature some of the funniest actors working today, including Kate Berlant, Megan Mullally, and Megan Stalter. Paper Kite Productions, Amy Poehler’s company, is producing – a match made in heaven. – Taylor Gates

Good Grief (TBA)

Image via HBO Max

Director. Dan Levy

Cast. Dan Levy, Ruth Negga, Himesh Patel, Luke Evans, and David Bradley

Four-time Emmy Award-winner Dan Levy’s directorial debut already has a brilliant cast (including Levy himself who also serves as writer and producer) and an original story. If we weren’t already excited for the Schitt’s Creek star and producer’s first foray into features, the promise of a good tear-jerker set against the backdrop of Paris definitely does the trick. An LGBTQ+-positive Eat, Pray, Love journey of self-discovery with Levy’s hilarious delivery? Bring it on, 2023. — Tamera Jones

The Holdovers (TBA)

Image via Fox Searchlight Pictures

Director. Alexander Payne

Cast. Paul Giamatti, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and Carrie Preston

The last time Alexander Payne and Paul Giamatti worked together was in 2004's Sideways, which was arguably the biggest success of either of their careers. Almost two decades later, these two will reunite for The Holdovers, in which Giamatti once again plays a teacher, who is put in charge of a rebellious student who can't return home for Christmas. Payne's last film, Downsizing, was one of the writer-director's biggest disappointments, but getting back together with Giamatti for this latest project could maybe bring back that old spark. — Ross Bonaime

How Do You Live? (TBA)

Director. Hayao Miyazaki

A decade after supposedly retiring with 2013's The Wild Rises, one of the greatest animation directors of all time, Hayao Miyazaki returns with How Do You Live? While The Wind Rises was more based in reality with some fantastical touches, How Do You Live? has been described as a "big fantastical film," centered around the real novel How Do You Live?, which is a major part of the lead character's story. With Miyazaki back and making movies again, How Do You Live? just might be the most highly anticipated animated film of 2023. — Ross Bonaime

Hypnotic (TBA)

Director. Robert Rodriguez

Cast. Ben Affleck, Alice Braga, William Fichtner, and Jeff Fahey

Not a lot has been revealed about Robert Rodriguez’s upcoming action thriller, but we do know we can always expect a visual treat from the filmmaker. Starring Ben Affleck, Hypnotic will be yet another take on the dad-seeking-missing-daughter trope but will see Affleck as a detective investigating a top-secret, shady government program, as well. Throw in some ultra-Rodriguez violence and high-end heists and we’ve got all the trappings of a blockbuster action flick. — Tamera Jones

I Saw the TV Glow (TBA)

Image from The Voyeurs via Prime Video

Director. Jane Schoenbrun

Cast. Justice Smith, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Helena Howard, Danielle Deadwyler, Amber Benson, Conner O'Malley, Danny Tamberelli, Phoebe Bridgers, and Fred Durst

2022 was a great year for Jane Schoenbrun, who made the haunting We Are All Going to the World's Fair, about an online game that sucks the player in to a disturbing level. We won't have to wait for Schoenbrun follow-up, as I Saw the TV Glow will be released by A24 later this year. The film focuses on two teenagers who connect over a shared love of a television series, and how their reality starts to shift once the show is canceled. I Saw the TV Glow might have the most unique cast of any film on this list, as actors like Justice Smith and Till's Danielle Deadwyler will feature alongside some odd choices like Conner O'Malley, Phoebe Bridgers, The Adventures of Pete and Pete's Danny Tamberelli, and yes, Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst. What the hell could this film be? Who knows, but it's exciting to think about where Schoenbrun is going to take us with this one. — Ross Bonaime

The Iron Claw (TBA)

Image via A24

Director. Sean Durkin

Cast. Zac Efron, Lily James, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, Maura Tierney, and Holt McCallany

Focusing on the Von Erich wrestling family, The Iron Claw will probably be known as "that film where Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White are wrestling brothers. " The Von Erich family, as the name implies, also popularized the iron claw wrestling hold, and were rumored to have a family curse, given the tragedies that overtook the family. This is also an interesting choice for writer-director Sean Durkin, who previously made Martha Marcy May Marlene and the grossly underrated The Nest. But if anyone can explore the deep familiar pains that are underneath this wrestling family, it's Durkin. — Ross Bonaime

The Killer (TBA)

Image via Columbia Pictures

Director. David Fincher

Cast. Michael Fassbender and Tilda Swinton

David Fincher's latest The Killer, based on a French graphic novel series of the same name about an unnamed assassin, reunites the director with his Seven writer Andrew Kevin Walker—which may give us a hint about what tone this action thriller might take on. Fincher will also once again work with Erik Messerschmidt, who won an Oscar for his cinematography in his first film, Mank. Starring Michael Fassbender as the title killer, and Tilda Swinton, The Killer sounds like it could be more action-oriented than we've seen from Fincher in a while, but really, any new Fincher is an exciting prospect for sure. — Ross Bonaime

Killers of the Flower Moon (TBA)

Image via Apple

Director. Martin Scorsese

Cast. Leonard DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Jesse Plemons, Lily Gladstone, and Brendan Fraser

At this point, it almost seems like Killers of the Flower Moon might never come out, but maybe that's more of a sign of our excitement over this one. Martin Scorsese's latest film follows the David Grann book of the same name about a series of murders in 1920s Oklahoma. While Scorsese has worked with Leonardo DiCaprio has worked with Scorsese six times, and Robert De Niro has worked with Scorsese ten times, this is the first time Scorsese is working with both actors in the same film. A murder mystery from Scorsese starring two actors who have done nothing but great work with the director, Killers of the Flower Moon—if it finally comes out—seems like it will be in contention for the best film of 2023. — Ross Bonaime

Leave the World Behind (TBA)

Image via Amazon Prime

Director. Sam Esmail

Cast. Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, Myha'la Herrold, Farrah Mackenzie, and Kevin Bacon

Sam Esmail really made a name for himself by creating Mr. Robot, a show that had such a distinct visual style, and of which Esmail directed the majority of the episodes. Considering how unique Esmail's style is behind the camera, it's shocking that Leave the World Behind will only be his second film after 2014's Comet. Based on the Rumaan Alam book of the same name, Leave the World Behind focuses on the dynamic between a black family who returns to their summer home, which they have rented to a white family, after a series of odd events occurs. Starring Julia Roberts, who Esmail worked with on the Homecoming, and Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, and Myha'la Herrold, Leave the World Behind sounds like just the type of high-concept, unsettling story that Esmail could really make sing. — Ross Bonaime

Love Lies Bleeding (TBA)

Director. Rose Glass

Cast. Kristen Stewart, Ed Harris, Jena Malone, and Dave Franco

Rose Glass, who had an impressive breakthrough with her directorial debut, Saint Maud, is following up with a romantic thriller for A24 that will star Kristen Stewart as “the protective lover of a bodybuilder. ” The film is also described as “a romance fueled by ego, desire and the American dream. ” Stewart will be joined by Jena Malone, Dave Franco, and Ed Harris. Glass co-wrote the film with Weronika Tofilska. As of now, there are no details on a release date, but anything with Kristen Stewart is an exciting film to wait for

MaXXXine (TBA)

Image via A24

Director. Ti West

Cast. Mia Goth

Ti West took the horror world by storm in 2022 when he revealed that he would be following up his love letter to 1970s slasher films, X, with two more films set within the same universe. X featured dual performances from star Mia Goth both as the young final girl Maxine, and the film’s main antagonist, an elderly woman with a dark past, Pearl. The prequel followed Goth as Pearl in her youth as she first spirals into bloodlust in her quest to become a star. Maxxxine will be set after the events of X as Goth’s character heads to Hollywood in the 1980s. While West hasn’t revealed much about the plot of Maxxxine, it will likely follow the same themes as the previous two films which explore, sex, blood, and female rage. While X was an ode to 70s slashers and Pearl’s aesthetic was decidedly in the Golden Age of Hollywood, Maxxxine is inspired by the VHS craze of the 80s. — Samantha Coley

Maestro (TBA)

Image via Netflix

Director. Bradley Cooper

Cast. Bradley Cooper, Carey Mulligan, Jeremy Strong, Matt Bomer, Maya Hawke, and Sarah Silverman

Let's be honest. considering that it was beaten by Green Book of all films, Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born should've probably won Best Picture at the 91st Academy Awards. Sure, there were some other great picks, but Cooper's directorial debut might've been the best version of that tale that had been around for nearly a century—no small feat, for sure. Cooper will get another shot at Oscar gold with Maestro, which he directed, co-wrote with Spotlight writer Josh Singer, and stars in as conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein. The first images of Cooper as Bernstein are shocking, to say the least, and it will be very interesting to see what Cooper does with directing another story steeped in music. Cooper might've deserved Best Picture for A Star Is Born, but with Maestro, it looks like he's coming back for another shot at the big prize. — Ross Bonaime

May/December (TBA)

Director. Todd Haynes

Cast. Natalie Portman, Julianne Moore, and Charles Melton

Director Todd Haynes has given us unforgettably rich stories with complex characters - Carol, I’m Not There, and Far From Heaven to name a few. He’s one of queer cinema’s most interesting voices and so, anything with his name on it is met with high expectations. May December will follow Julianne Moore as she plays Gracie, a woman whose relationship with a much younger man makes them the center of a tabloid scandal. Over two decades later, an actress (presumably played by Natalie Portman) comes to live with the now-married couple to study Gracie, as she will be playing her in a film and they must then reckon with their past and the truth of their decisions. IndieWire reported that a source said of the film. “​​Think Persona meets Three Women. ” This marks Moore’s and Hayne’s sixth project together. The project only wrapped filming two months ago, so a release date has not been made known yet

Megalopolis (TBA)

Director. Francis Ford Coppola

Cast. Adam Driver, Forest Whitaker, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jason Schwartzman, Grace VanderWaal, Kathryn Hunter, Talia Shire, and Dustin Hoffman

Megalopolis has long been a passion project for Francis Ford Coppola. The director has been talking about Megalopolis since the 80s, and once said that the films he made in the 90s were an attempt to get out of debt so he could fund Megalopolis. After all these years, Coppola's long-in-the-works project is finally filming, with an insanely great cast, and could finally be coming out this year. Coppola has been awfully quiet in recent years, occasionally popping up in the 2000s with smaller projects, but if this is as ambitious and massive of an undertaking as it sounds like it is, Megalopolis might bring us back to the Coppola of Apocalypse Now and The Godfather films. — Ross Bonaime

Monkey Man (TBA)

Director. Dev Patel

Cast. Dev Patel, Sharlto Copley, and Sobhita Dhulipala

Another directorial debut on Collider’s list this year is actor and Oscar-nominee Dev Patel’s action thriller, Monkey Man, slated for a TBD Netflix release. Working off a script he co-wrote, Patel will also executive produce and star as an ex-felon released from prison, struggling to adapt to a corrupt and greedy world. Set in India, the feature is inspired by Hindu stories from Patel’s childhood and given a cinematic spin that has been described as “John Wick in Mumbai,” as the protagonist seeks revenge on those who stole everything from him. Anyway, here’s our money, Monkey Man. — Tamera Jones

Napoleon (TBA)

Director. Ridley Scott

Cast. Joaquin Phoenix, Vanessa Kirby, and Tahar Rahim

Ridley Scott will be reuniting with his Gladiator star Joaquin Phoenix for Napoleon, which follows Napoleon Bonaparte's rise to power. Scott usually thrives with these types of ambitious historical epics (The Last Duel from 2021 is vastly underrated, and Scott won Best Picture with Gladiator) and this seems to be yet another exciting 2022 project for Phoenix to sink his teeth into. At 85 years old, Scott hasn't slowed down in terms of his aspirations, and it's exciting to see Scott continue to innovate and try out new ideas. With a massive project like Napoleon, it's going to be great to see Scott in this element once more. — Ross Bonaime

Nightbitch (TBA)

Image via Paramount Pictures

Director. Marielle Heller

Cast. Amy Adams and Scoot McNairy

Based on the novel by Rachel Yoder, Nightbitch is a story infused with magical realism about a stay-at-home mother who believes she’s turning into a dog. The film adaptation will star a collaboration of my dreams, as Marielle Heller (Can You Ever Forgive Me?, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood) is directing, with Amy Adams starring. Heller has shown herself to be masterful at depicting complex people and their stories, and Adams has the range and nuance to bring anyone to life. Fingers crossed that this finally lands her the Oscar she deserves. – Taylor Gates

Nimona (TBA)

Directors. Nick Bruno and Troy Quane

Cast. Chloë Grace Moretz, Riz Ahmed, and Eugene Lee Yang

Nimona has had a nightmare of a time coming to the big screen. 20th Century Fox Animation acquired the rights for the comic series back in 2015, and the film went into production through Blue Sky Studios, but was canceled after the studio was closed once Disney acquired 21st Century Fox. However, last year, Annapurna Pictures and Netflix announced that the film would finally be coming in 2023, at long last. Chloë Grace Moretz will play the title character of Nimona, a shapeshifter who is targeted for assassination by a knight. But when the knight is accused of a crime, Nimona might be the only one who can prove his innocence. ND Stevenson's comic series had gorgeous animation, and while we haven't seen what this film will look like yet, this could be one of the most stunning-looking animated films of 2023. — Ross Bonaime

Peter Pan & Wendy (TBA)

Image via Disney

Director. David Lowery

Cast. Alexander Molony, Ever Anderson, Yara Shahidi, Jim Gaffigan, Alan Tudyk, Molly Parker, and Jude Law

Look, we're all pretty tired of seeing Disney's live-action remakes of their animated films, right? Most of them end up being fairly poor substitutes for the original films, and don't really attempt anything new in their retellings. But one of the few exceptions was 2016's Pete's Dragon, from, of all people, The Green Knight and A Ghost Story director David Lowery. Pete's Dragon brought a new vision to this Disney classic, and it seems like Lowery might do the same again with Peter Pan & Wendy. Granted, we've returned to Neverland quite a few times in live-action, but Lowery has been developing this project for almost a decade now, and Lowery is certainly one of the more intriguing directors to take on this story. Plus, who doesn't want to see Jude Law as Captain Hook, with Jim Gaffigan as Mr. Smee? A match made in Neverland heaven. — Ross Bonaime

Poolman (TBA)

Director. Chris Pine

Cast. Chris Pine, Annette Bening, Danny DeVito, Ariana DeBose, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and DeWanda Wise

As a fan of Chris Pine everything and anything (and possibly the best Chris in the Chris multiverse), Poolman is the Star Trek actor’s anticipated directorial debut that has everyone talking. Remember that viral photo of Pine sporting a striped top and sunhat, accentuated with long hair and a shaggy beard? Or the other photos that leaked on Twitter of Pine on the set of his mystery comedy, riding a moped with a long, shiny gold robe? That's the one, friends. Set to release sometime in 2023 for Paramount, the film, which is co-written by Pine, follows a hapless dreamer who tends to a swimming pool and uncovers, what is possibly, the greatest water heist in a vein similar to Chinatown. With vibes that coast between the Los Angeles noir charm of The Big Lebowski blended with a vibrant dose of La La Land, the film finds Pine making uneasy alliances and connecting with some very peculiar strangers — which makes the shenanigans all the more fun. But with not much else known, the film also stars Annette Bening, Danny DeVito and Jennifer Jason Leigh, and features a series of cameos that audiences will be surprised to see, no doubt. Fans can also expect to see Pine’s Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins’s name in the credits as executive producer of the project. Considering how cool this one sounds, we expect a summer 2023 release. — Tania Hussain

Poor Things (TBA)

Director. Yorgos Lanthimos

Cast. Emma Stone, Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbott, Jerrod Carmichael, Mark Ruffalo, and Willem Dafoe

And now, the second Yorgos Lanthimos film of the year. Poor Things will be Lanthimos' first adaptation, based on the Alasdair Gray book of the same name. Emma Stone once again stars in a Lanthimos project, this time playing Bella Baxter, who drowns herself to get out of a marriage with her abusive husband, but then has her brain replaced with her unborn child's brain, thanks to the help of her doctor father. Even though this is an adaptation, it sounds like an idea that could've come directly from Lanthimos. just the right blend of unnerving, disturbing, and ultimately, so unsettling, you can't help but laugh. And Emma Stone as a Frankenstein-esque figure is worth the price of admission alone. — Ross Bonaime

Priscilla (TBA)

Director. Sofia Coppola

Cast. Jacob Elordi and Cailee Spaeny

It’s now or never for a Priscilla Presley biopic. Fresh off the heels — or maybe “Blue Suede Shoes” — of Baz Luhrmann’s glittery Elvis movie starring Austin Butler, the world will soon know more about his ex-wife Priscilla Presley (neé Beaulieu) in the aptly titled Priscilla, directed by Sofia Coppola. While it does seem pretty soon for another biopic about Elvis and his life, Coppola promises a more intimate portrayal of a young woman thrust into the spotlight by way of marriage to one of the biggest stars in the world. But what can we expect from the movie that we don’t already know — minus the National Enquirer suggesting Elvis is alive and in Arizona? For starters, the upcoming biopic is taking a shake, rattle and roll kind of twist from Luhrmann’s spectacle with Coppola adapting Priscilla’s 1985 memoir, Elvis and Me for the big screen. Chock-full of very personal stories about the two and their relationship and the fights between them, the award-winning director who is best known for developing a catalog of strong and thoughtfully rich female characters like in Marie Antoinette, will delve deep into Priscilla’s life pre- and post-Elvis. With the real Priscilla acting as executive producer for the film starring Jacob Elordi as Elvis and Cailee Spaeny as Priscilla, we are already all shook up to hear more about her love affair with Elvis, and what was really happening between the two star-crossed lovers through the eyes of Coppola’s direction. — Tania Hussain

Pussy Island (TBA)

Director. Zoë Kravitz

Cast. Naomi Ackie, Channing Tatum, Simon Rex, Alia Shawkat, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Saul Williams, Christian Slater, Geena Davis, and Kyle MacLachlan

Pussy Island will mark actress Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut. The thriller will be led by Naomi Ackie, who is currently starring as Whitney Houston in I Wanna Dance With Somebody, as Frida and Channing Tatum as Slater. It follows Frida as she goes to a remote island with Slater, a tech mogul, but nothing is as it seems. The film features a star-studded cast that also includes Simon Rex, Geena Davis, Christian Slater, Alia Shawkat, and Kyle McLaughlin. No further details of the plot or release date are currently known, but with a cast like that and a talented actress behind the camera - Pussy Island is looking like a good time

Rebel Moon (TBA)

Director. Zack Snyder

Cast. Sofia Boutella, Charlie Hunnam, Ray Fisher, Djimon Hounsou, Jena Malone, Corey Stoll, Ed Skrein, Cleopatra Coleman, Fra Fee, Cary Elwes, and Anthony Hopkins

For those who want to actually see a Snyderverse, it looks like the director will be giving audiences what they want with his gigantic Rebel Moon. Snyder's latest film will be shot in two parts, and Snyder has already said he'd love to see this universe become a huge IP. Considering that Rebel Moon has been called a darker take on Star Wars, who knows, maybe it will be? Rebel Moon focuses on Kora (Sofia Boutella), a young woman who has been sent to find warriors from various planets to help take down the villainous regent Balisarius (Ed Skrein). At the very least, it will be interesting to see what Snyder can do with a ridiculously ambitious project that he seemingly has control over, as director, writer, producer, and even cinematographer. This might be the Snyderverse you're looking for. — Ross Bonaime

Rebel Ridge (TBA)

Image via Amazon

Director. Jeremy Saulnier

Cast. Aaron Pierre, Don Johnson, James Badge Dale, James Cromwell, AnnaSophia Robb, and Emory Cohen

Few directors do brutality quite as well as Jeremy Saulnier, as we've seen in his previous films Blue Ruin, Green Book, and Hold the Dark. While not much is known about Saulnier's newest thriller, Rebel Ridge, the film will star The Underground Railroad's Aaron Pierre, Don Johnson, and James Badge Dale. It's been nearly half a decade since we've seen the type of horrors that only Saulnier can bring to the screen, so who knows what he'll be shocking us with in Rebel Ridge

Rustin (TBA)

Director. George C. Wolfe

Cast. Colman Domingo, Chris Rock, Glynn Turman, Audra McDonald, Aml Ameen, CCH Pounder, Michael Potts, Bill Irwin and Da'Vine Joy Randolph

Following up his excellent 2020 film Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, director/co-writer George C. Wolfe returns with Rustin, which will showcase the life of Bayard Rustin, the gay civil rights activist who organized the March on Washington. Rustin is also co-written by Under the Banner of Heaven creator Dustin Lance Black, and with Colman Domingo playing Rustin, it will be great to finally see Domingo in a lead role that gives him the spotlight. — Ross Bonaime

Saltburn (TBA)

Director. Emerald Fennell

Cast. Rosamund Pike, Jacob Elordi, and Barry Keoghan

Emerald Fennell’s highly anticipated follow-up to 2020’s Oscar-winning Promising Young Woman, Saltburn will center around a grand, aristocratic English family and star a slew of powerhouse actors, including Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl), Barry Keoghan (The Banshees of Inisherin), and Jacob Elordi (Euphoria). Fennell has proven her skill in the thriller genre with Promising Young Woman, showrunning Killing Eve, and being tapped to help write John Wick installment Ballerina starring Ana de Armas, so Saltburn is certain to be full of suspense and style. Even better? Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap Entertainment, the production team behind I, Tonya, Birds of Prey, and Barbie (another exciting 2023 release), is producing. – Taylor Gates

Showing Up (TBA)

Image via A24

Director. Kelly Reichardt

Cast. Michelle Williams, Hong Chau, Maryann Plunkett, John Magaro, André Benjamin, James Le Gros, and Judd Hirsch

When Kelly Reichardt teams up with Michelle Williams, the results are always special. Showing Up marks their fourth collaboration, after Wendy and Lucy, Meek's Cutoff and Certain Women, in this story of an artist who embraces chaos before her big exhibition. Reichardt's last film, First Cow, was one of the best films of 2019, and Williams is just coming off The Fabelmans, so these two are back together and stronger than ever. — Ross Bonaime

Spaceman (TBA)

Director. Johan Rench

Cast. Adam Sandler, Paul Dano, Carey Mulligan, Kunal Nayyar, and Isabella Rossellini

It's always great to see Adam Sandler in a drama, but Spaceman sounds unlike any dramatic work the actor has ever done. Based on the book Spaceman of Bohemia by Jaroslav Kalfař, Sandler will star as Jakub Procházka, the Czech Republic's first independent astronaut, who leaves his wife behind for the eight-month mission to collect intergalactic dust near Venus. While on this journey, Jakub meets a giant spider named Hanuš, who he becomes friends with. Sure. Spaceman comes from Chernobyl director Johan Renck, and will also star Paul Dano, Carey Mulligan, Kunal Nayyar, and Isabella Rossellini, so while it sounds like an insane idea, there's plenty of great people behind this project to make it work. The Sandman is about to become the Spaceman, and we should all be very excited. — Ross Bonaime

Tetris (TBA)

Director. Jon S. Baird

Cast. Taron Egerton, Toby Jones, and Roger Allam

Now, I know what you're thinking. who is going to play L block, and who is playing the cube? And in a year that is packed with video game adaptations for everything from The Last of Us to Gran Turismo, Tetris sounds like the most unnecessary video game movie we could ever possibly need. But Tetris will actually explore the legal battle for the intellectual property rights to the game Tetris, which for anyone who read Box Brown's excellent graphic novel Tetris. The Games People Play knows, this story is pretty fascinating. Tetris will star Taron Egerton and Toby Jones, while Nikita Yefremov will play Alexey Pajitnov, the designer and developer of Tetris. On the surface, a Tetris movie sounds like a crazy idea, but trust us, there's more to this story than just a bunch of falling blocks. — Ross Bonaime

The Trashers (TBA)

Image Via IFC Films

Director. Cooper Raiff

Cast. David Harbour, Cooper Hoffman, and Olivia DeJonge

Cooper Raiff has already made quite a name for himself with his first two films, his excellent 2020 debut Shithouse and last year's Cha Cha Real Smooth. Raiff has directed, written, produced, and starred in all of his films so far, and his third film, The Trashers, sounds like his biggest film yet. The Trashers is based on the true story of the Danbury Trashers hockey team, which was run by gangster James Galante. David Harbour will play Galante, while Licorice Pizza's Cooper Hoffman will play James' son A. J. There's no word yet if Raiff will also appear in the film, as he has done with his other two films, but this sounds like an entirely different side of Raiff that we haven't seen before in his smaller indie dramedies. — Ross Bonaime

Unfrosted. The Pop-Tart Story (TBA)

Director. Jerry Seinfeld

Cast. Jerry Seinfeld, Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, Amy Schumer, James Marsden, Jack McBrayer, Thomas Lennon, Bobby Moynihan, Maria Bakalova, Max Greenfield, Christian Slater, and Hugh Grant

I love a story about inventing a real-life product. The Social Network? A given. The Founder? Obviously. A Flash of Genius? Lesser-known and more controversial, but I dig it. So when they announced they were going to make a movie about the creation of Pop-Tarts, I was all in – the cast and creative team were just the frosting on top. The film will be a period piece, taking place in 1960s Michigan, and see Kellogg’s and Post Consumer Brands competing to see who can come out victorious in the game of creating breakfast pastries. Jerry Seinfeld will serve as director, co-writer, co-producer, and lead, with an enormous slate of iconic co-stars, including Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, and Amy Schumer. – Taylor Gates

The Way of the Wind (TBA)

Director. Terrence Malick

Cast. Mark Rylance, Matthias Schoenaerts, Géza Röhrig, Ben Kingsley, Tawfeek Barhom, Björn Thors, Joseph Fiennes, Douglas Booth, Aidan Turner, and Lorenzo Gioielli

Saying a new Terrence Malick film is coming out at a certain time is always dicey. It's entirely possible The Way of the Wind could be coming out this year, and it's equally possible that Malick has scrapped everything and is starting again. Who knows with Malick. The Way of the Wind will tell several stories about the life of Jesus, who will be played by Son of Saul star Géza Röhrig. The Way of the Wind will also feature Aidan Turner as Saint Andrew, Matthias Schoenaerts as Saint Peter, and in a perfect casting choice for anyone who saw Bones and All, Mark Rylance as Satan. The gaps between Malick films are often unbearable (the director took 20 years between Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line), but hopefully we'll be seeing The Way of the Wind in 2023. Just, maybe, don't hold your breath. — Ross Bonaime

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (TBA)

Director. Wes Anderson

Cast. Benedict Cumberbatch, Ralph Fiennes, Dev Patel, Ben Kingsley, Rupert Friend, and Richard Ayoade

A new Wes Anderson movie doesn’t come around too often, let alone two in a year. In 2023 we’ll be gifted with two new movies from the auteur with a knack for symmetry. There’s the aforementioned Asteroid City and then there’s The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, Anderson’s second adaptation of a Roald Dahl novel after the brilliant stop-motion masterpiece Fantastic Mr. Fox. You either love Wes Anderson and his eccentric visions, or they’re simply not for you, as you can probably guess, I’m in the former. To me, a new movie from Wes Anderson feels like an event, and while this will be the filmmaker’s first film for Netflix, you can bet that I’ll be making the trek to see this on the big screen. — Nate Richard

You Hurt My Feelings (TBA)

Director. Nicole Holofcener

Cast. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tobias Menzies, Michaela Watkins, Owen Teague, Arian Moayed, Elizabeth Marvel, Bill Camp

It's been five years since Nicole Holofcener directed a film, with 2018's The Land of Steady Habits, but it's been an interesting five years for the writer-director. Holofcener received her first Oscar nomination for the screenplay of Can You Ever Forgive Me?, she also co-wrote The Last Duel with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, directed an episode of Mrs. Fletcher (which is now not available on HBO Max for some idiotic reason), and she even voiced herself on several episodes of Bojack Horseman. With You Hurt My Feelings, Holofcener is behind the camera again, and has reunited with her Enough Said star Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Louis-Dreyfus and Holofcener make for a lovely combination, and with the film debuting at Sundance, hopefully, it will be hitting theaters soon after. — Ross Bonaime

M3GAN (January 6)

Director. Gerard Johnstone

Cast. Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Ronny Chieng, and Brian Jordan Alvarez

Take Chucky and girlbossify him in the most ironic way possible, and you get M3GAN. The film follows an inventor (played by Allison Williams) who gains custody of her newly orphaned niece (Violet McGraw). In order to cheer her up, she introduces her to her company’s latest creation, M3GAN. Her niece soon starts to grow a bond with the wide-eyed, Renesmee-looking robot girl, and of course, things take a turn for the violent. The last time Akela Cooper and James Wan teamed up, we got the masterpiece that is Malignant, and with M3GAN, the team is looking to give us another winner, but instead of a murderous parasitic twin named Gabriel, we’ll get a murderous robot doll who loves to dance while killing her victims. The word on the street is that M3GAN lives up to the hype and with a sequel already early in development, I think we have the first big hit of 2022. — Nate Richard

You People (January 27)

Director. Kenya Barris

Cast. Eddie Murphy, Jonah Hill, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lauren London, Lauren London, Molly Gordon, Mike Epps, Nia Long, Deon Cole, Rhea Perlman, and David Duchovny

You People has a serious comedy pedigree. Starring Jonah Hill as a white guy who desperately - and uncomfortably - seeks to gain the approval of his Black girlfriend’s (Lauren London) parents, played by Eddie Murphy and Nia Long. Hilarity, undoubtedly, ensues, especially when his parents - Julia Louis-Dreyfus and David Duchovny - are added to the mix. Kenya Barris, best known for creating black*ish, directed this feature, which he co-wrote with Hill. I’m going to be honest. as the resident David Duchovny expert, I was mostly looking forward to this film because of him (plus, he sings in it), but judging from the teaser trailer, the film looks like it will be genuinely funny. — Alyse Wax

Infinity Pool (January 27)

Director. Brandon Cronenberg

Cast. Alexander Skarsgård, Mia Goth, and Cleopatra Coleman

Infinity Pool looks like it very well may be one of the most disturbing films of the year, which should come as no surprise. The film stars current horror queen Mia Goth, who dominated the genre in 2022 with performances in X and Pearl, and is written and directed by Brandon Cronenberg, the mind behind gems like Antiviral and Possessor. The premise is intriguingly twisted, falling in line with the Cronenberg brand, as it sees wealthy couple James (Alexander Skarsgård) and Em (Cleopatra Coleman) on a luxurious vacation. The elusive Gabi (Goth), however, shows them a different community outside the resort filled with indulgence and danger alike. When they become involved in a tragic accident – in a place that carries a zero-tolerance policy for crime – things spiral even further out of control. The trailer alone is as chilling as it is stylish, and its visuals of warped masks are going to live in my mind rent-free. – Taylor Gates

Knock at the Cabin (February 3)

Director. M. Night Shyamalan

Cast. Dave Bautista, Jonathon Groff, Ben Aldridge, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Kristen Cui, Abby Quinn, and Rupert Grint

Look, you never know what you’re going to get with M. Night Shyamalan. It’s possible you could get the thrilling director who knows how to get under your skin and who made The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, or Split. OR, you could get the guy who takes you to the beach that makes you old, or even worse, the guy who made The Happening and After Earth. But Knock at the Cabin, based on the book of the same name by Paul G. Tremblay, looks like it could be the former, as a family of three is held hostage by four strangers who demand that one of them must die in order to stop the apocalypse. It’s the time of wild concept that Shyamalan could really make work, and with a cast that includes Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, and Rupert Grint, this might be a sign of the good Shyamalan. — Ross Bonaime

Magic Mike's Last Dance (February 10)

Director. Steven Soderbergh

Cast. Channing Tatum and Salma Hayek Pinault

Not only does the final film of the Magic Mike story bring back Steven Soderbergh as a director, but Channing Tatum's Mike Lane is teaming up with Salma Hayek Pinault for Magic Mike's Last Dance. Mike's story goes international in Last Dance as Hayek's character whisks Mike away to London to put on a show at a theater. While the Magic Mike movies have always been about combining a passion for passion and a passion for dance, Last Dance seems to be tripling down on that, now with the added bonus of Hayek's electric energy. If the trailer is any indication of what we have to look forward to, it looks like Last Dance will be jam-packed with dance performances with a healthy dose of romance on the side, which sounds like the perfect Valentine's Day treat. — Therese Lacson

Ant-Man and the Wasp. Quantumania (February 17)

Director. Peyton Reed

Cast. Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kathryn Newton, Jonathan Majors, David Dastmalchian, and Randall Park

Although we already met Jonathan Majors in Loki as He Who Remains, Ant-Man and the Wasp. Quantumania will be the first time we officially meet Majors' Kang the Conquerer. Although it's not clear who will ultimately rise to the top as the villain of the Multiverse Saga, Kang is definitely a front-runner which makes Quantumania a must-watch for those of us who are still keeping up with the MCU. The third installment of Ant-Man brings back Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly, along with Michael Douglas and Michelle Pfeiffer, but it will also be introducing Kathryn Newton as Cassie Lang, Scott's grown-up daughter who also picks up the superhero mantle for herself. And if all of that isn't enough to whet your appetite, Bill Murray will also have a role as the mysterious Krylar (who seems to have some kind of past relationship with Pfeiffer's Janet Van Dyne). — Therese Lacson

Linoleum (February 24)

Image via SXSW

Director. Colin West

Cast. Jim Gaffigan, Rhea Seehorn, Katelyn Nacon, Gabriel Rush, and Tony Shalhoub

Linoleum was one of our favorite films from last year's SXSW festival, an exquisite from writer-director Colin West that reminds of American Beauty, I'm Thinking of Ending Things, and Magnolia—which is high praise. Jim Gaffigan stars as Cameron Edwin, the host of an unpopular children's science show that always dreamt of greater things, particularly going to space one day. Cameron is going through a lot, as his father is growing more forgetful in his old age, his wife Erin (Rhea Seehorn) wants a divorce, and his latest application to NASA has been declined. When a rocket crashes into Cameron's backyard, he decides to make his dreams come true and attempt to repair the rocket and go to space. Linoleum is an inventive, surprising, and ultimately beautiful film, and it's great that it's finally getting released in 2023. — Ross Bonaime

Cocaine Bear (February 24)

Director. Elizabeth Banks

Cast. Keri Russell, Ray Liotta, O’Shea Jackson Jr, Alden Ehrenreich, Christian Convery, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Brooklynn Prince, Isiah Whitlock Jr, Kristofer Hivju, Hannah Hoekstra, Aaron Holliday, Margo Martindale, and Matthew Rhys

I don’t think I need to even explain why this film is on the list. It’s Cocaine Bear. Cocaine Bear is loosely based on the true story of Pablo Escobear, an American black bear who overdosed on 34 kilos of stolen cocaine. In real life, the bear, unfortunately, passed away the same day, but in Elizabeth Banks’ new film, the titular drug-fueled woodland critter goes on a bloody rampage. It looks campy, cartoonishly violent, and looks like it’ll play like gangbusters like a crowd. If you’re going to try to tell me that this looks “bad,” don’t even start, because you are obviously no fun and are not an enjoyer of bears on cocaine like the rest of us. Fetch me a crisp dollar bill, I’m snorting this one right up. — Nate Richard
