Movies I'm looking forward to in 2026
Posted: March 10, 2026
It looks like it will be a good year for movies. A lot of blockbuster films are releasing and I have to admit, in recent years I've missed a lot of great films in the theater, so I'm hoping this year will be a change of pace.
Here are a few this year that look good to me:
| Title | date | notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project Hail Mary | March 20 | I really liked The Martian (the book and movie)...so I'm very excited for this film. | |
| Normal | April 27 | Bob Odenkirk in a role that reminds me of Simon Pegg in Hot Fuzz. | |
| Mortal Kombat II | May 8 | The reboot a few years ago was a big improvement from the original late 90s films (as fun as they were). And Karl Urban (who is great in everything) could make this one even better. | |
| Star Wars: The Mandalorian and baby Yoda (Grogu) | May 22, 2026 | It's been awhile since a Star Wars film has been in theaters, plus the series it follows is one of the bright spots in the franchise. | |
| Disclosure Day | June 12 | If Spielberg is making a film about an alien encounter, you know it's something to see on the big screen. | |
| Toy Story 5 | June 19 | Pixar is usually awesome, so this is a must watch. | |
| Supergirl | June 26 | My wife and I really liked the Super Man reboot, so we're interested in seeing where this character takes the story | |
| The Odyssey | July 17 | This is the most exciting film of the year for me! I'll probably watch Troy again in preparation to watch the continuation of the story of Odysseus. | |
| Spider-Man: Brand New Day | July 31 | Looking forward to where the story takes Peter Parker after the last film. | |
| Godzilla Minus Zero | November 6 | Minus One was incredible, so this is one to definitely get excited about. | |
| Street Fighter | October 16 | In a year where we get both a Mortal Kombat and a Street Fighter film it feels like we've been transported back to the 90s. | |
| Avengers: Doomsday | December 18 | Should be a fun film. | |
| Dune: Part 3 | December 18 | I'm really happy the story of Dune Mesiah is finally coming to the screen. After three Dune movies, and a couple of Sci Fi channel series, I feel like this very interesting part of the Dune saga finally could have good representation on the screen |
