"This past year was huge for films of every genre. Marvel came back in a major way, the new DC Universe took flight, horror fans were spoiled with instant classics, and international dramas delivered nihilism and heart in equal measure. That upward trend is set to continue in 2026, with Hollywood's biggest franchises hoping to continue their winning streak. The MCU will deliver its first Avengers movie in half a decade, while box office-dominating directors like Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan are debuting new projects."
"2025 marked a triumphant return for the director-writer duo, with 28 Years Later standing tall as one of the year's best blockbuster horrors. Next year, they'll pass the baton to Nia DaCosta, who helms The Bone Temple, the second film in a planned trilogy. The adventures of Spike (Alfie Williams) continue, with the young hero reckoning with a murderous cult of Jimmy Savile fans on top of the zombie apocalypse raging all around him."
2026 features a crowded film slate of franchise returns and original epics. The MCU will release its first Avengers movie in five years, while major directors such as Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan debut new projects. The first Star Wars movie since the sequel saga will arrive alongside original epics intended to counteract franchise fatigue. Horror and sequel franchises continue with entries like The Bone Temple, the second film in the 28 Years Later trilogy, featuring Spike's continued struggle and the return of Cillian Murphy. Realistic space adventure returns with Project Hail Mary starring Ryan Gosling and directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller.
