ComingSoon’s 25 Most Anticipated 2023 Movies

Now that 2022 is safely behind us, it’s time to look at the films 2023 has to offer — and, boy, does the lineup look amazing! It’s true, there are many films that could possibly win the golden statue this year. While there isn’t a box office behemoth like The Way of Water: Avatar to look forward to, it’s hard not to get excited for the likes of Into the Spider-Verse, Mission Impossible?, and Part 2 of DuneAmong others.

Here are the 25 most anticipated movies for 2023.

M3GAN

Jan. 6

There’s a lot of buzz for M3GAN It looks great as a mix of comedy and horror. Yes, it does look like a great idea. Child’s Play meets The Good SonHowever, what are we supposed do in January other than watch the Olympics? (Aside form watching. Avatar (For the tenth year?)

Quantumania: Ant-Man & the Wasp

Feb. 17

Even if you’re a bit tired of comic book movies, Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe launching is a major deal. Paul Rudd is always likable as Scott Lang and we get to see Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror in action for the first time, which is certainly exciting. The Ant-Man series hasn’t done us wrong yet and we’re hopeful that the next installment will keep the momentum intact.

Cocaine Bear

Feb. 24

It is undeniable that the February release to see is Elizabeth Banks’ Cocaine Bear. I’ve only seen one trailer, but the pic about a ravenous bear that consumes drugs and goes on a killing spree looks entertaining in a deliciously morbid way.

Creed III

March 3

While Creed II It was disappointing and a ripoff. Rocky IV, the trailers for Michael B. Jordan’s third boxing extravaganza promise a more original chapter this go-round. We’re all for it, especially considering the raised emotional stakes stemming from Adonis Creed’s personal relationship with antagonist Damian Anderson (Jonathan Majors).

John Wick Chapter 4

March 24

We’d never have guessed we would get four! John Wick films? We are now at the fourth chapter of Keanu Reeves’ franchise, which promises more spectacularly choreographed violence, and neon-lit mayhem. I am eager to see Wick’s brutal revenge on the people who left Wick for dead in the last film.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie

April 7

It has always been difficult to sell video game adaptations. Still, thanks to a pair of eye-popping trailers that show off Illumination’s incredible animation, The Super Mario Bros. Movie We are attracted to it. Obviously, this one’s for the kiddies, but hopefully, the pic is clever enough to cater to older audiences who grew up with Mario and Luigi.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3

May 5,

Marvel films are everywhere these days. Yet, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 stands out from the pack thanks to James Gunn’s bizarre brand of humor, the always incredible cast, and its ragtag collection of characters — perhaps the best group assembled in the MCU. You can also watch the teaser trailer.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

June 2

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is the best Spider-Man adaptation to date, so why wouldn’t we be excited about the follow-up? While the MCU has taken some of the animated pic’s thunder with its interpretation of the multiverse, the incredible animation, and sly humor still pack a wallop. We’re oh-so-eager to see the continuing adventures of Miles Morales.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

June 9

The Transformers After the death of franchise, it appeared that they had been taken out. Bumblebee The film earned a solid, but not exceptional $468M at its box office. However, the teaser is still very good. Rise of the Beasts promises a new spin on the formula — this time, it’s robot animals fighting the bad guys! Who doesn’t want to see that?

The Flash

June 16

We’re still on board for Andy Muschietti’s The FlashEven though we need to figure out how it fits in the DCU, this is a great idea. Is this a standalone adventure that leads nowhere, or will it be part of a larger chapter that expands on the superhero universe? Is Michael Keaton’s Batman even in the film still? Do we really need to care? No clue, but we’re certainly intrigued.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

June 30

The first teaser trailer for Indy’s latest adventure featured some astonishing de-aging effects. We’re curious to see if James Mangold can reinvigorate the dormant franchise after Steven Spielberg and George Lucas dropped the ball with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Indy in WWII represents a great step in the right direction.

Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning – Part One

July 14

How can it be that? Mission Impossible Each new entry is an improvement. Rogue Nation  Fallout are arguably the best of the ongoing series, and we’re ecstatic to see how Tom Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie up their game with parts seven and eight. With the Imax teaser showing Cruise driving, we were even more excited. motorcycle off a cliff in spectacular fashion.

Oppenheimer

July 21

Christopher Nolan is an expert at crafting a marketing campaign. Holy smokes, Christopher Nolan knows how to create a marketing campaign. Oppenheimer look like a big-budget spectacle one has to see on the largest screen possible — even if it appears to be little more than a character-driven biography. We’re down for anything Nolan creates until proven otherwise.

Barbie

July 21

Even if Barbie isn’t traditionally your thing, that terrific teaser trailer should have grabbed your attention. Margot Robbie is a goddess, and the all-star cast — Ryan Gosling, Will Ferrell, Michael Cera, and Kate McKinnon — is a knockout. Greta Gerwig is also a part of the cast.

The Marvels

July 28

The third Marvel movie of Phase 3 is our least anticipated of Marvel’s 2023 slate but it still looks to be intriguing. We’ll get to see Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers team up with Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan as Ms. Marvel makes her big-screen debut. While the Disney+ series didn’t wow us, we’re hoping this team-up (which also includes Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau) serves us some solid summer fun and spectacle.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

Aug. 4

We’re always game for more Ninja TurtlesEven though the movie adaptation of 1990 was largely terrible, this entry is still worth reading. We know little about this animated adaptation other than Seth Rogan and Brendan O’Brien are writing it. They should deliver a version that does justice for our heroes in half-shell.

Equalizer 3

Sept. 1

The Equalizer A series might not resemble more than a low rent apartment. John Wick, but I’ll watch anything featuring Denzel Washington kicking the bejesus out of faceless thugs. It doesn’t have to be art. Sometimes, a movie can just be a good time.

Part 2 of Dune

Nov. 3

We’re ecstatic to see Denis Villeneuve’s follow-up to DuneThe film is one of the top big-budget movies to hit cinemas over the last five years. So long as we get to see Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) ride a sandworm, we’ll be first in line to see this anticipated sequel. This is a Disney side note. Dune This is what Star Wars It should.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes

Nov. 17

Even if you’re not the biggest Hunger Games fan, it’s intriguing to see further adventures in the universe. This entry occurs before the events of the previous films and should flesh out Suzanne Collins’ universe and hopefully give new meaning to the tale of Katniss Everdeen.

Wonka

Dec. 15

Do we need another adaptation of Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka books? Probably not, but the cast — Timothée Chalamet, Rowan Atkinson, Olivia Coleman, and Hugh Grant — is excellent. Paul King is a talented director who makes movies that the entire family can enjoy. This is evident in his work on Paddington.

The Color Purple

Dec. 20

Steven Spielberg’s The Color Purple is an incredible adaptation of Alice Walker’s best-selling novel thus far and our favorite, but we’re open to new interpretations closer to the source material. This version appears more in line with the Broadway musical, so we’ll have to wait to see if it translates well to the big screen.

Napoleon

TBA

Ridley Scott’s epic biopic starring Joaquin Phoenix as the famed French leader doesn’t have a firm date yet but the combination is certainly promising. This film will quickly rise to the top of our list if it is released in 2023. The past work of Scott & Phoenix speaks volumes.

Asteroid City

TBA

I’ll follow Wes Anderson anywhere, especially with a cast that includes Margot Robbie, Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Maya Hawke, and Tom Hanks (making his Anderson debut). No idea what it’s about, but Anderson has yet to steer me wrong.

Killers of The Flower Moon

TBA

Ditto for Martin Scorsese who teams up with Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Robert De Niro again for this 1920s crime drama. Brendan Fraser and Lily Gladstone star alongside Jesse Plemons. We’re so there.

Maestro

TBA

As fans of Leonard Bernstein, we’re eager to see what director Bradley Cooper (and producers Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese) cook up with this biopic of the renowned composer. Will this be a delightful trip through Hollywood’s Golden era or another Babylon?
