Say goodbye to Netflix and hello to the big screen!

After a year of limited new releases, we've got a host of epic new movie drops to look forward to over the next few months. From huge action flicks to creepy thrillers and family favourites.

Whether you're downloading them on demand or visiting your local cinema, here are some of the biggest movies we can look forward to watching soon...

Black Widow

After appearing in the Avengers franchise as Natasha Romanoff, Scarlett Johansson’s character is finally getting to star in her own story. Alongside Stranger Things favourite David Harbour and Little Women's Florence Pugh, you can watch this from the comfort of your sofa via Disney+

The Croods 2: A New Age

Eight years after the original film, the Croods are back with a second adventure, teaching more civilised humans that sometimes it’s good to embrace your savage side. This time, Guy introduces his new in-laws to the closest thing he has to a family.

The Forever Purge****

We all know The Purge is 12 hours of utter carnage...but what was to happen if it just kept going, even after the sirens? This is definitely a smash hit that'll leave you on the edge of your seat!

Space Jam : A New Legacy

It's got all our favourite Looney Tunes characters, this time with a 2021 glow up! More than two decades after Michael Jordan and the Looney Tunes defeated the Monstars, we’ve finally got a sequel.

Escape Room: Tournament of Champions

This next instalment is a sequel to the box office hit psychological thriller that terrified audiences around the world. With similar (less deadly) tourist attractions now popping up across the globe, there's something so thrilling about an escape room. Six new characters unwittingly find themselves locked in another series of escape rooms, slowly uncovering what they have in common to survive.

Freaky

This isn't your typical high school drama...after swapping bodies with a deranged serial killer, a young girl in high school discovers she has less than 24 hours before the change becomes permanent. You can expect plenty of blood and gore, plus with Vince Vaughn at the helm there has to be a few laughs too.

The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard

It's the summer of sequels, as The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard is back. Just four years later, with some of Hollywood's biggest names back together again...Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas to name a few.

Nobody

Another action comedy blockbuster, you'll be kept entertained watching Nobody. When two thieves break a suburban home one night, Hutch Mansell declines to defend himself or his family. The aftermath of the incident triggers dormant instincts and skills nobody knew poor Mansell had. But can protect his family for the second time from a dangerous adversary.

Fast & Furious 9

Danger seems to lurk around every corner for Dom Toretto, even when he's living the quiet life off the grid with Letty and his son. Vin Diesel and the crew are back behind the wheel for another explosive experience.
