It’s the end of the year and the beginning of the new year. Although it’s hard to avoid feeling unwilling to think back on the box office donations and time sacrificed for bad movies in 2023, at the same time, you can’t help but look forward to what new movies will be released in the coming year, waiting for you to enter the theater. Especially compared to 2022, a lot more Hollywood movies will be introduced in 2023. This also makes people have a little fantasy about 2024. I hope that relying on the support of relevant departments, we can join people from all over the world in appreciating or criticizing Zhenhu. A blockbuster movie coming out.
As for what Hollywood movies are worth looking forward to in 2024, it is better to collect the following film list first. It is not difficult to find that, as in previous years, series works, sequels, and mature IP works account for the majority, while original works account for the minority. Even so, there are many sequels in IP works in 2024, such as "Kung Fu Panda 4", "Mad Max: Goddess of Fury", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 4: A New World", "The Master of the Underworld 2" and " Gladiator 2" etc. In addition, the number of superhero movies will be significantly reduced. The two giants Marvel and DC will only have one film in 2024, namely "Deadpool 3" and "Joker 2".
It is worth mentioning that due to the impact of the previous double strikes by the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild, many movies originally scheduled to be released in 2024 have been postponed to 2025, including Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible" 8: Reckoning (Part 2)" and Disney's live-action version of "Snow White", etc.
Note: The following release dates are all North American schedules

One day, Ye Li was suddenly attacked because the plot she made up out of thin air overlapped with what happened in reality. For this reason, she had to travel to the world of the novel with Agent Aiden and the cat Alfie to resolve the crisis.
This film is the latest work of Matthew Vaughn, the director of the "Kingsman" series. Looking at the plot, it is not difficult to guess that this new work will also retain the characteristics of the former: there is no shortage of thrilling action scenes, and the funny elements of gags are also indispensable. , and the cute cats will definitely steal a lot of scenes.
The schedule of "Argyle: The Secret Agent" in mainland China has also been confirmed, which is February 23rd. It is a quasi-synchronous release and the first Hollywood blockbuster to be released after the Spring Festival holiday.

This film is the first appearance of Madame Spider in Sony's Spider-Man universe. Compared with its own Marvel, the movies created by Sony are not as strong in "superhero" flavor and focus more on character creation. Dakota Johnson, who became famous for "Fifty Shades of Grey", and Sydney Sweeney, who became popular for the TV series "Euphoria", are currently hot actors in Hollywood, and their joining adds a lot to the film.
The two most recent works of the Spider-Man universe, "Spider-Man: No Homecoming" and "Venom 2", which were developed by Sony, have not been released in mainland China. This has also set the stage for the introduction of "Mrs. Spider-Man: Awakening". Suspense is left.

The first "Dune" released in 2021 won good reputation and box office. With director Villeneuve continuing to be at the helm, I believe that the upcoming second part will not disappoint; Florence Pugh, Austin · Newly joined powerful actors such as Butler, Léa Seydoux, and Javier Bardem also add to the film's highlights. The film's mainland China schedule has been confirmed as March 8, one week later than North America.

Since the first "Kung Fu Panda" produced by DreamWorks in 2008, this animated series has maintained a high production level and gained a large number of fans around the world, with a cumulative box office of more than 1.8 billion US dollars. Judging from the trailer, the new fourth film still continues the Chinese elements featured in the first three films. Of course, the film is also expected to be released simultaneously.

But when he survived by chance and returned to the base, he found that his identity had been replaced by a clone that had his memories. In order to survive, Mickey 17 decided to rebel against the iron laws of the base.
"Mickey 17" is Korean director Bong Joon-ho's first work after the hit "Parasite", and it is also his return to Hollywood. This new science fiction film produced by Warner Bros. was written and adapted by Bong Joon-ho himself. He must have considerable autonomy in shooting and production, and it has also given the outside world more expectations for the quality of the finished film.

The relationship between the two most famous monsters on the earth, from the battle in the previous film to the powerful alliance in this one . Together they will fight against the brutal red-haired behemoth; and the secrets of the strange creatures derived from Skull Island and the War of the Ancients will be further revealed.
This sequel is still created by the original team of the previous one. Although the previous film had a poor reputation, the global box office of US$470 million is enough to prove that monster movies are still popular with audiences. Referring to the introduction of the previous film, I believe that Chinese audiences will also be able to witness the hand-to-hand combat between indomitable monsters on the big screen this time.
"Mad Max: a mad max saga" (furiosa: a mad max saga)
Director: George Miller

"Garfield" 》Poster

Different from the previous two live-action movies, this animated version of "Garfield" reviews Garfield's past and present lives, from when he was a pitiful little wanderer to how he dominated the master Jon's house, including his The reason why lasagna is my favorite will also be revealed.

The first three "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" ended with the death of Caesar, the leader of the apes. In the latest one, the protagonist is replaced by Caesar's son Cornelius, the timeline of the story extends many years later, telling how he led his people to find a place to settle on an unrecognizable earth.
The first three "War for the Planet of the Apes" released in 2011, 2014, and 2017 were all imported and released, and I believe this one is no exception.
"Ballerina" (ballerina)
Director: Len Wiseman
Starring: Ana de Armaschino Reeves Lance Reddick
Release date: June 7, 2024
《 "Ballerina Killer" poster
This film is a derivative work of the "John Wick" series universe. It tells the story of a young woman whose family was murdered and who was trained as a killer since she was a child. How she takes revenge.
director Len Wiseman has directed such acclaimed works as "Underworld" and "Die Hard 4". The two screenwriters are also quality assurance, namely Emerald Fennell, who wrote and directed "Promising Girl", and Shay Hatton, the royal screenwriter of the "John Wick" series.
Considering that the film's rating is likely to be restricted like the "John Wick" series, the possibility of introduction is very slim.
"Despicable Me 4" (despicable me 4)
Director: Chris Leonard patrick delage
Starring: Steve Carell Kristen Wiig Pierre Coffin
Release date: 2024 July 3
"Despicable Me 4" poster
Summer with minions is always a joy, but after two years, they are coming to cause trouble again. This time, Chris Leonard, the director of the first and second "Despicable Me" films, returns to direct. I believe that the entire series' relaxed, funny, and inadvertently touching basics will still be maintained.
"Deadpool 3"
Director: Sean Levy
Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Colin, Owen Wilson
Release date: July 26, 2024
"Dead" Samurai 3" poster
Shiqian's courage is obviously getting bigger and bigger. This time, he helped Wolverine rejuvenate himself, and also wanted to work with the latter to use a time travel machine to modify history. Unfortunately, the two of them were arrested by the Time Variation Administration. Right.Of course, Deadpool can't be easily recruited, so he plans to plan a victory escape with Wolverine.
The biggest highlight of "Deadpool 3" is undoubtedly the rivalry between Deadpool Wade and Wolverine Logan. The film is Disney's first return to 20th Century Fox after completing its acquisition. But I believe that Marvel will not change the tone set by the first two works - as we all know, "Deadpool" has always been a comedy rather than a super movie; however, whether the film will maintain its restricted rating is a question mark. .
When "Deadpool 2" was introduced and released, more than half a year had passed since its release in North America, and the North American release date of "Deadpool 3" fell during the domestic film protection month. Even if it could be introduced, it would probably be delayed.
"Borderlands" (borderlands)
Director: Eli Roth Tim Miller
Starring: Cate Blanchett Kevin Hart Jamie Lee Curtis Jack Black
Release date : August 9, 2024
"Borderlands" poster
In the past two years, game adaptations into movies have become a craze. "Borderlands" is an FPS shooting game developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2k Games that combines RPG elements. It has been around for more than ten years. Although it is still unclear the specific story direction of the film, there is no doubt that action scenes will be its main element.
"Kraven the Hunter" (Kraven the Hunter)
Director: J.C. Chandor
Starring: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Russell Crowe, Ariana DeBose
Release Date: 8, 2024 March 30th
"Kraven the Hunter" poster
"Kraven the Hunter" is a solo film about the anti-hero character of the Spider-Man line in the Marvel Universe. It tells the story of a man who was abandoned by his father who advocates the law of the jungle and natural selection since he was a child. The story of how young Sergei Kravinov turned into the talented hunter Kraven and met another villain, the Rhino Man.
The superhero world of 2024 obviously belongs to neither DC nor Marvel, but Sony. Like "Mrs. Spider" and "Venom 3", "Kraven the Hunter" is also produced by Sony. The film was originally scheduled to be released in October 2023, but due to various reasons it was postponed to August 2024, which directly resulted in the debut of three Sony-produced superhero movies a year.
"beetlejuice 2"
Director: Tim Burton
Starring: Jenna Ortega, Winona Ryder, Michael Keaton
Release date: September 6, 2024
"The Master of the Underworld 2" poster
See you soon! Who would have thought that 36 years have passed since the first "The Master of Hell", and we can still wait until Tim Burton shoots the sequel, and Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton can return to star.
The story of "The Master of the Underworld", which was born in 1988, tells the story of a couple who have become dead souls. They are unwilling to let new residents enjoy their carefully cared for house, and have to ask the Master of the Underworld for advice on how to drive away the family of residents. The film was selected by the American Film Institute (AFI) as one of the top 100 comedies in the history of cinema. I believe that this sequel will continue to follow the Tim Burton-style funny comedy route.
"Transformers: The First Generation" (transformers one)
Director: Josh Cooley
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Brian Tyree Henry
Release date: September 2024
on the 13th Maybe everyone is already feeling a little tired of the "Transformers" series, but this animated movie to be released in 2024 is different. Its story is set on the planet Cybertron, the home planet of the Transformers, and tells the bloody and passionate story of how the brothers Optimus Prime and Megatron became mortal enemies.
"Joker 2" (joker: folie à deux)
Director: Todd Phillips
Starring: Joaquin Phoenix lady gaga
Release date: October 4, 2024
"Joker 2" stills
"Joker" in 2019 It created the unique case of a superhero movie winning the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, so the second film released after five years also attracted much attention. The plot of "Joker 2" follows the previous one, telling the story of imprisoned Arthur Fleck and his psychiatrist Harley Quinn falling in love and becoming the Joker again.
The film is still helmed by Todd Phillips, but the difference is that this sequel will be a musical. Of course, one of the two leading actors has played the role of country music great John Cash, and the other is a singer. I believe that the singing and dancing scenes will not be difficult for them, and maybe they will really add a lot of color to the film. However, 2019's "Joker" was not introduced, and this one will probably not be screened on the big screen in mainland China.
"Venom 3" (venom 3)
Director: Kelly Marcel
Starring: Tom Hardy, Juno Temple, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tom Holland, Benedict Cumberbatch
Release date: November 8, 2024
In the final chapter of the trilogy, Venom will finally face off against his greatest enemy Spider-Man, and Doctor Strange is also expected to make a guest appearance.
The director of "Venom 3" has been replaced by Kelly Marcel, the screenwriter of the previous film. Due to Marcel's own limited directing experience, many viewers were worried about whether the quality of this film was acceptable. However, having said that, "Venom 2" was also criticized a lot. Didn't everyone still curse and curse while buying tickets to watch them fall in love and kill each other?
"Gladiator 2" (gladiator 2)
Director: Ridley Scott
Starring: Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington
Release date: November 22, 2024
2024 There are indeed many unexpected sequels, and "Gladiator 2" is one of them. Considering that the previous one was produced 24 years ago, it is very intriguing how the latest story is told. It is currently known that its timeline unfolds 25 to 30 years after the first film. The protagonist Lucius, played by Paul Mescal, is the son of Lucia in the previous film. However, no matter what the story is, director Ridley Scott's escort can at least ensure that it is in the same vein as the previous one.
"Mufasa: the lion king" (mufasa: the lion king)
Director: Barry Jenkins
Starring: Aaron Pierre Jr., Kevin Harrison, Seth Rogen
Release date: December 2024
As the name suggests, this real lion version of "The Lion King Prequel" tells the story of Simba's father Mufasa and Scar when they were young. The film will continue to use the realistic animation technology of the previous film. It is worth mentioning that the director of this film is Barry Jenkins, who won the Oscar for Best Picture for "Moonlight". It remains to be seen whether the director of an artistic film will be surprised or shocked when he gets involved in a large-scale commercial production.
