In a Year Full of Blockbusters, Summer 2018 Will Be Especially Huge
Here are the best movies to look forward to.
At this point, the entire year is summer blockbuster season. Black Panther, which was released in February, was already one of the biggest box office successes of all time. And Marvel will do it again only a few months later, moving Avengers: Infinity War forward to April to kick off the summer very early. From there, the hits probably won't stop until we start again in 2019. Here are the best summer 2018 movies to prepare yourself for.
Avengers: Infinity War (April 27)
Hey, it wouldn't be summer without about 35 superheroes in one movie.
Deadpool 2 (May 18)
Have you seen how jacked Josh Brolin got for this movie? Plus, even the early promotion for this movie has been entertaining enough.
Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25)
Hopefully we finally get to see our boy Han make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs (especially since a parsec is a unit of astronomical distance, not time).
Ocean's 8 (June 8)
Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, with Rihanna, and Helena Bonham Carter. Enough said.
Hereditary (June 8)
People are already calling it the scariest movie of the year. Start preparing now.
Incredibles 2 (June 15)
I could watch two hours of just this baby stumbling around with laser vision.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (June 22)
No offense to Chris Pratt, but the real draw here is Jeff Goldblum returning as Ian Malcolm. Jeff. Freaking. Goldblum
Sicario 2: Soldado (June 29)
Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro are back, fighting the drug cartels on what looks to be a much bigger scale.
Sorry to Bother You (July 6)
This near future satirical comedy stars Lakeith Stanfield (Atlanta, Get Out) as a telemarketer who discovers he can use a white voice to become the most successful man in his company.
Ant-Man and the Wasp (July 6)
Look, I doubt you'll find many people who say Ant-Man is their favorite Marvel hero, but Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly combined will make this one fun as hell.
Eighth Grade (July 13)
Hey, being a teen is hard enough, but middle school is especially horrible. Writer and director Bo Burnham makes this all too real with a coming of age story starring Elsie Fisher.
Mission: Impossible – Fallout (July 27)
In which 55-year-old Tom Cruise is still mountain climbing without ropes.
The Spy Who Dumped Me (August 3)
When Audrey (Mila Kunis) finds out her boyfriend (Justin Theroux) is a spy, she and her friend Morgan (Kate McKinnon) get caught up in an international conspiracy/misadventure.
Crazy Rich Asians (August 17)
Based on the 2013 novel by Kevin Kwan, Crazy Rich Asians stars Constance Wu as Rachel Chu, who joins her boyfriend Nick Young (Henry Golding) on a trip to Singapore where she learns he comes from one of the wealthiest family's in the country. The problem, however, is that the family matriarch isn't exactly approving of their relationship.
Replicas (August 17)
A sci-fi movie that might actually explain Keanu Reeves's key to immortality, as he plays a scientist working to bring his family back from the dead.
