If you caught my Top 5 movies of 2023, you know that I don’t watch a ton of movies. This is going to make this list a whole lot shorter than some of them that I put out. I do get excited for movies, but I don’t go see many in theaters. In fact, I basically just go to Marvel movies. But I think 2024 is going to have another movie that I want to see in theaters. So let’s see what movies, I’m doing at least five, that I’m interested coming out in 2024.

Most Anticipated Movies of 2024

7. Borderlands

What are my expectations for a Borderlands movie, really it’s about zero. I think this is going to be train wreck most likely. But I really enjoy the Borderlands games, so I’m going to watch it sometime. And for being one of the lowest on my list, I think there is a chance I might see this in theaters. Why, because I have friends who like Borderlands and bad movies as well, so they might want to go.

6. Furiosa

But now to one that people are going to be really excited about. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. I liked Mad Max: Fury Road, I thought it was a fun movie. Maybe only kind of a Mad Max movie, but that’s okay because it was crazy and everything that I expected from the Mad Max world. I want to see what this movie does.

But it is lower on the list for me for one big reason. It is a prequel. I know where the movie ends up, or at least somewhat because it has to lead into sometime in the future Fury Road. If it can kind of ignore that and just lean into whatever is fun and give me a crazy ride, I’m cool with that. If it tries to be any sort of direct prequel, well, I have concerns about it.

5. Godzilla X Kong

Me like big monsters fight. That is the reason I want to watch this movie. I have to watch the first one, which I haven’t heard great things about. But let me reiterate. Me like big monsters fight. I’ll watch it once just because of that. That’s how I watched the movie Rampage (don’t watch it). I have a bit more hope for this one but if it gives me some massive monster fights, can’t really go wrong with it.

4. Sonic 3

Next up is Sonic 3. I still need to see Sonic 2. Why, because I was so surprised with how much fun the first one was. After the initial issue with the lovely teeth of sonic, they got him right. And it’s a fun character with a lot of fun and funny scenes in it. So I hope I’ll enjoy the second one, and since this is a kids movie, it might be one that I see in theaters with my kid. He’d be very happy to go to the theaters and see another movie.

3. Beyond the Spider-Verse

Now let’s talk about probably the #1 movie for a lot of people. I think that most people would probably put my #3 or #2 as their #1. And I also think that my Top 3 will mimic a lot of peoples top 3, just in a different order. Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is going to be amazing. It’s maybe down a touch on my list because I’m not sure it will come out in 2024. I think with the writers/actors strikes this is likely a 2025 film now, but right now it still says 2024.

I want to see the “end” of this saga. I say that, but I don’t know that it will be the end of it. I think that it could just lead into more movies. Now not in the way that Across the Spider-Verse does where it doesn’t tell a whole story. Beyond the Spider-Verse I expect to wrap up the story started in Across the Spider-Verse, and it might even lead into live action Miles Morales. That’s my hope and dream, so let’s see what happens. No matter what happens, though, I’m very confident this is going to be an amazing movie.

2. Dune 2

Now we have Dune 2. And I know that I’m a bit less bullish on the first Dune movie as compared to some people. A lot of that comes from the fact that I think the first half of the Dune book is just okay and that’s what the movie was. So it was still just okay, I thought some of the casting was a bit odd, too close in age, but it looked amazing and sounded amazing.

Dune 2 is going to take the part of the book that I really love and put it on the screen. I expect it is going to be even more amazing and more fun than the first. Let’s remember, I did enjoy the first, just not as much as a lot of people. I think, if I were to put money on it, that I’ll see this on an Imax screen because it’s going to look amazing on that. So a movie that I think I’m likely to see in theaters.

1. Deadpool 3

Finally we have Deadpool 3. This should be the least surprising thing ever. I love my Marvel movies and this one is an MCU movie. The others are maybe not MCU movies because they get folded in with this one. But I want to know how that happens and I’m just excited to see what the craziness of this film is going to be. I expect it to be bonkers in a good way.

Plus it’s characters that I know and love with Deadpool and Wolverine. And it sounds like a lot of other characters as well. It means that I need to catch up on some Marvel movies that aren’t part of the MCU before seeing this. Which is a fun project to have on my plate.

What Movie Is Your Most Anticipated?

Let me know what you’re most interested in seeing. I know that there are probably a number of movies that I missed that will be coming out. And it’s a bummer, for me, that there is only one MCU movie that is coming out. But I’m extremely excited for Deadpool 3. And I think this upcoming year looks like it’ll have a lot of very fun movies. Are there any that you think I missed?
