- Book of Clarence (Jan. 12) Filmmaker Jeymes Samuels’ follow-up to his Black western The Harder They Fall follows a man living in Biblical times who takes his cues from the new Messiah and starts his own faithful following, which puts him in conflict with the ruling Roman empire.
- Argylle (Feb. 2) Matthew Vaughn returns to the espionage genre with the meta film that follows a spy novelist (Bryce Dallas Howard) who, unbeknownst to her, is writing real-life events into her beloved books series.
- Lisa Frankenstein (Feb. 9) The campy, young adult take on the Mary Shelley classic sees a high schooler reanimate a corpse who turns out to be a love interest.

- Gladiator 2 – November 22, 2024. With Ridley Scott's Napoleon release quickly approaching, the 85-year-old director seems to be as determined as ever to continue extending his king-like action-filmmaking leadership into his ninth decade on this planet.
- Beetlejuice 2 – September 6, 2024. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Release Date. September 6, 2024. Director. Tim Burton. Cast. Jenna Ortega , Michael Keaton , Monica Bellucci , Justin Theroux , Willem Dafoe , Winona Ryder , Catherine O'Hara.

- Good Grief (January 5) Dan Levy (Schitt's Creek) makes his feature directorial debut with this Netflix production, in which he also stars as Marc Dreyfus.
- Mean Girls (January 12) Opening this in January, and not on October 3, seems like an enormous missed opportunity, but here we are. This isn't a remake of the very fetch original, exactly, but instead an adaptation of the stage musical based on that 2004 classic (not that you'd know it from the trailer).
- The Kitchen (January 12) Joined by Kibwe Tavares, Oscar-winner Daniel Kaluuya writes and directs this dystopian sci-fi drama set in the titular Kitchen, a London housing block.

As the new year kicks off – we’re five years past the original Blade Runner’s time period at this point! – Hollywood can settle in (at least in terms of its release date plans). 2023’s double strike, which saw both the actors and writers guilds campaigning for improved deals, scrambled production schedules, leading to a variety of movies (and TV shows) being delayed and/or seeing their planned release timing changed.
So that means that in 2024 we’re only getting one new MCU movie – Deadpool 3 – though really, Marvel Studios probably needed a bit of a breather anyway. DC also will only see one new movie released in Joker: Folie à Deux, but that’s more to do with the switch to the new James Gunn Universe than because of the strikes. Elsewhere, there’s a host of new titles to be excited about, including the long-awaited arrival of Dune: Part Two, Parasite director Bong Joon-ho's Mickey 17, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, a mysteriously untitled Universal Monsters movie from the guys who made Ready or Not, a new Planet of the Apes movie, the return of Furiosa (w/o Mad Max!), a new Jordan Peele movie, and much more.
Read on for the 2024 movies we’re most excited about, and don’t forget all release dates are subject to change…
US Date: Jan. 5
When I was a little kid, I was afraid to go in the pool after an ill-advised attempted viewing of Jaws. That fear lasted for a looong time (years?), so one can only imagine how folks are gonna do with the latest team-up between mega-horror-producers James Wan and Jason Blum. Night Swim stars Wyatt Russell and Kerry Condon in a tale involving a… haunted swimming pool. Sure, laugh now – and then enjoy spending the whole summer sweating in the heat at a safe distance from any refreshing, man-made watering hole.
US Date: Jan. 12
Don’t worry – it’s a musical! The trailer for the 2024 version of Mean Girls that dropped in November weirdly neglected to indicate that small fact, making it seem like an odd rehash. But indeed this film is based on the Broadway musical incarnation of the 2004 Lindsay Lohan classic. Angourie Rice (who you may recognize from the Tom Holland Spider-Man movies among other things) fills Lohan’s shoes, with Tina Fey back again as screenwriter (and as Ms. Norbury).
US Date: Jan. 12
You know how your grandparents fell for that phishing scam that one time? Well, Jason Statham just hates that, and he’s ready to kill a lot of bad people because of it in The Beekeeper. Suicide Squad and Fury director David Ayer teams with the British badass to get revenge for the mom from The Cosby Show (Phylicia Rashad), even if that means cutting a guy's fingers off and then tying him to the back of a truck that then drives off a bridge. That’s what you get for running a call center, dude!
US Dates: Jan. 12, Feb. 9, March 22
These three Disney Pixar movies never got full theatrical releases in the US due to the COVID-19 pandemic, instead going straight to Disney+. But now they’ll finally make it to the big screen in the first quarter of 2024, and each will be accompanied by a short film as well (“Burrow” for Soul, “Kitbull” for Turning Red, and “For the Birds” for Luca).
US Date: Feb. 2 in theaters, Apple TV+ date TBA
How perfect is casting Henry Cavill as "Agent Argylle," a super-spy who is actually just the cartoonish creation of novelist Elly Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard)? Matthew Vaughn certainly knows a thing or two about spy movies, and how to play with the conventions of the genre, having directed a Kingsman or three, and Argylle looks to follow suit as Conway encounters “real” spies like Sam Rockwell’s shaggy assassin. Bryan Cranston, Catherine O'Hara, John Cena, Samuel L. Jackson, Dua Lipa, and Ariana DeBose also star.
US Date: Feb. 9
Diablo Cody scripted this horror comedy about a teenager (Kathryn Newton) who, you guessed it, reanimates the dead – specifically the corpse of her dreams (via a tanning machine). Directed by Zelda Williams (the late Robin Williams’ daughter), Lisa Frankenstein looks to be one part Jennifer’s Body, one part Heathers, and potentially all parts fun.
US Date: Feb. 14
2024 is going to be a light year for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with only one film being released by the studio. But don’t worry, because Sony's Spider-Man Universe, as the studio calls it, is ready to step in with three different Marvel-adjacent movies. The first of the year will be Madame Web, which stars Dakota Johnson as the psychic Cassandra Webb, Sydney Sweeney as Julia Carpenter, Celeste O'Connor as Mattie Franklin, and Isabela Merced as Anya Corazon, all of whom have assumed one Spider-persona or another in the comics. Will Madame Web break the Morbius curse and be, you know, good? Only the spider knows for now…
US Date: Feb. 23
The Coen brothers are kinda making their own movies separate from one another lately, and that's OK! For his part, Ethan has this comedy up next, starring Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan as a pair of young women who hit the road in search of one of those good old “fresh starts.” Soon enough, they’re mixed up with a variety of weird and criminal types, not to mention co-stars Beanie Feldstein, Colman Domingo, Pedro Pascal, Bill Camp and Matt Damon.
US Date: March 1
The first installment of Denis Villeneuve's Dune was a hit, and though Part Two was delayed because of the Hollywood strikes, it is now scheduled for a March release. Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya are back along with most of the first film's cast, while newcomers Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken and Léa Seydoux are all landing on planet Arrakis for the first time. We’re particularly looking forward to Butler (Elvis) as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, the role played by Sting in the 1984 film.
