Movies coming out in 2024

2023 Gave us many entertaining blockbusters, with movies like Barbie sweeping the nation and bringing new life to the film industry.

After 2020, there was a decline in the production of movies creating an annoyance among fans of the theater. This year brought a new light to the silver screen, and is leaving fans more excited for the upcoming year and what it brings. 

The classic childhood movie, Kung Fu Panda, is a household name. First released in 2008 with the second and third part coming out in 2011 and 2016 respectively, the karate chopping panda and his team have created a wide fan base of children and parents alike. Stars Jack Black, Jackie Chan, and Angelina Jolie are coming together to reprise the franchise once more and voice a new adventure for the characters. The film is set to be released March 8.

Another classic movie is being revived after twenty years. Mean Girls, the influential cult classic, featuring Lindsey Lohan and Rachel McAdams premiered in 2004, and has since become one of the highest praised movies to date. The film is still referenced often, and is credited for many more productions, such as the broadway musical. Its reprisal stars Reneé Rapp as ‘Regina George,’ and Christopher Briney as ‘Aaron Samuels,’ with Tina Fey in the same role as the original film, Ms. Norbury. It’s important to note that this is note a sequal, simply a modern re-make of the famed movie. The highly anticipated film is due for release January 12. 

Known for his witty humor and unique comedic quips, Ryan Reynolds is reviving his role as Deadpool, eight years after the first production of the franchise. Deadpool, or Wade Wilson, is a superhero of sorts, with the ability to heal from any injuries at a superhuman speed. He, just like his actor, is fast on his feet and with his clever responses, seemingly able to get out of any fight while keeping his sassy retorts. The third production of this Marvel movie is set to be released July 26.

Inside Out, first released in 2015, was a significant film in children’s entertainment. The emotional motion picture touched on the feeling of growing up, and the difficulties children face with their feelings. Though it was a Disney cartoon, the movie left its audience in awe and connected with them in many ways. In the second film, Riley, the main character, has improved in handling her emotions, and has settled in her new city after the first movie. A new emotion is now introduced, Anxiety, and the others now must deal with this new introduction. The movie is scheduled for release on June 14. 

The sci-fi fantasy movie that left fans amazed is due for a sequel. Dune, based on the novel by Frank Herbert, came out in 2021, and was widely viewed by the masses. The unique picture and setting of the film, along with the adventure and plot twists, interested fans, subsequently leaving them upset with the cliff-hanger at the end. Three years later, part two, directed by Denis Villeneuve, is said to pick up where it has left off, and to continue the story of Timothée Chalamet’s ‘Paul Atreides’ and his relationship with the Fremen tribe. Zendaya, seen in the last minutes of the first movie, becomes a prominent character in this sequel. The continuation is due for release on March 14.
