Here’s our guide to the season’s most anticipated movies.
By Michael O'Sullivan Michael O'Sullivan Film critic and reporter covering movies and the people who make them Email Bio Follow April 24 at 10:00 AM Popcorn movie season kicks into high gear this weekend with the release of “Avengers: Endgame.” But what are the other films to watch out for this summer? Read on for our recommendations of the buzziest monster movies, rom-coms, family films, horror flicks, superhero sagas and art house drama.
Starring: Keanu Reeves, Halle Berry, Ian McShane, Anjelica Huston, Asia Kate Dillon, Jason Mantzoukas. “There’s something off about Ma,” says one of the teens who has been invited to party in the basement of this film’s title character. Perhaps so, but there’s something that feels perversely right about this unexpected change of direction for Spencer, who, in her first horror film, plays Sue Ann , a creepy loner who evolves from enabler to evildoer after a group of underage high-schoolers recruit her to buy booze for them.
Here, Jean returns from a space mission with strange and dangerous new abilities, courtesy of something called the Phoenix Force. This puts her at odds with her mutant pals — Lawrence as the shapeshifting Mystique, Peters as the super-fast Quicksilver, etc. — as well introducing us to Chastain’s new, otherworldly villain.
“Shaft” is a sequel to the 2000 film of the same name, in which Jackson played detective John Shaft II, the nephew of Roundtree’s John Shaft . In this new chapter, there aren’t just two generations of Shaft, but three — with the addition of Shaft II’s grown son, John Jr. , an MIT-educated FBI agent with a specialty in cybersecurity who recruits his father in the investigation into a friend’s death.
With a screenplay by the writer-director of “Love Actually,” “Yesterday” could be the charmer that fans of old-fashioned love stories have been waiting for.Starring: Tom Holland, Jacob Batalon, Zendaya, Samuel L. Jackson, Jake Gyllenhaal. There are no human beings in this remake of Disney’s 1994 animated classic — just a bunch of CGI animals, including a talking, singing meerkat and warthog . So it’s a bit strange that people, even Disney executives, are referring to the CGI film as “live action.”
The enduring Fast & Furious action franchise jumped — like a nitrous-oxide-burning car — from stories about illegal street racers to the tales of international espionage around the fifth film. This ninth installment is not a sequel per se, but a spinoff, built on the sturdy backs of two of the series’ recurring characters: Johnson’s lawman Luke Hobbs and Statham’s outlaw Deckard Shaw.
