Looking back at 2018, it's hard to imagine 2019 could surpass it in terms of new films. Last year, some of the most successful films of all time were presented, including the hits "Avengers: Infinity War" and even the acclaimed "Black Panther", which deserved not only universal love, but also critical acclaim, which led her to the coveted Oscar. Mention should be made of films such as Jurassic Park and, of course, the sequel to the beloved cartoon from Pixar, namely The Incredibles 2. But, as the creators and directors themselves say, this is not all that they are ready to surprise and brag about. So what awaits the curious viewer in the coming 2019?

Superheroes will remain one of the established trends this year. Indeed, without them - nowhere and there is no such person who would not want to watch a couple of films about the strong and the beautiful, born by the talented and inquisitive mind of the scriptwriters. This year, as is already customary, Marvel will compete with DC for the championship bar, and fans will be able to take part in this kind of struggle, torn between new films that will literally complement, develop, or perhaps even complete the story of our beloved characters. This season, we will be able to present the story of both already beloved characters in a new perspective, and completely new, bright and unforgettable, comic and a little awkward, but exactly those that the public can instantly fall in love with.

Let's not forget about the films that received the long-awaited sequel or even a full-fledged restart. So, on the screen this year there will be pictures with your favorite heroes and antiheroes, as well as charismatic villains. Viewers will be able to contemplate a new part of the beloved X-Men franchise, admire a new creation from the directors of the legendary Kingsman, and plunge into the worlds of a distant, distant Galaxy, loved by everyone since childhood and adolescence. The pictures that are literally "resurrected" by Disney that have announced the release of several cartoons that can return us to childhood and make us experience our favorite stories again deserve mention.

1. Shazam! (release date April 6)

Shazam is a superhero film about a teenager who, by chance, gains the ability to transform into an adult superhero who can fly and more. Fourteen-year-old Billy Batson will be played by Asher Angel, and Shazam will be played by the unsurpassed Zachary Levi, who, with his acting performance, is able to turn the entire film into a romantic drama as well as an original comedy. This character is new to the DC Universe, and fans will remember his first appearance in the comic book of the same name from the same studio. Bright and unusual, the story of a young teenager who has become a hostage of his superpowers will definitely not leave you indifferent!

2. Avengers: Endgame (Released April 26)

Avengers: Endgame is one of the most immersive films ever to be eagerly awaited worldwide. The final part will tell about the battle between the powerful heroes of Earth and Thanos - the Mad Titan, whom the characters faced in the previous part. A nice addition will be the fact that the long-beloved Ant-Man and Hawkeye, and Tony, who is lost in space, will join the desperate battle. More and more new trailers show the gradual development of the whole story, and also, finally, draw the line between the previous battle with the mighty titan. The surviving Avengers are embarking on the final, decisive path of war, and therefore this film is predicted large box office and runaway success at the box office.

3. John Wick 3: Parabellum (release date May 17)

John Wick 3: Parabellum is a gripping action movie starring Keanu Reeves who brilliantly played a hitman who violated one of the main rules of the underworld by killing a crime boss in the neutral territory of the Continental spa hotel in the second part. Now he has to save his own life at any cost, getting rid of dangerous pursuers and driving chases, which were so fond of the audience from the first parts of this franchise, which is likely to later become cult and compete with other films of this genre.

4. Aladdin (release date: May 24)

For the first time in the history of the tale of "Aladdin", the Disney studio has finally taken up its adaptation, and therefore fans of this tale about the Arabian night and the magical East will find new adventures of a homeless guy who saved the Genie and fell in love with the charming princess Jasmine. As before, he has to save the world from a villain who intends to take over him with a magic lamp. It is noteworthy that the role of the Genie in the film will be performed by Will Smith himself, and the director will be the legendary Guy Ritchie.

5. Godzilla: King of the Monsters (release date: May 31)

Godzilla is one of the most famous monsters in the history of all cinema, both American and Asian. And the legendary radioactive reptile returns to screens ahead of summer. In the sequel to 2014's Godzilla, Big G joins a trio of other monsters taken from the original Japanese films - Mothra, Rodan, and the three-headed king Ghidorah. According to critics, this film will be no less exciting than the previous ones. And all that remains for the fans is to wait until the end of May and go to the cinemas for a new portion of impressions. After all, this picture will be especially fond of those fans who have long awaited the legendary confrontation between the reptile and the monsters from its canon universe.

6. X-Men: Black Phoenix (Release Date: June 7)

It was rumored that after the relatively disappointing box office receipts of X-Men: Apocalypse in 2016, Fox was about to wind down the entire X-franchise. Fortunately for fans, this turned out to be not the case, and despite the fact that "Dark Phoenix" was postponed several times, the film will still be released on the big screens soon. It's also worth noting that longtime writer / producer of the franchise, Simon Kinberg, is making his directing debut, with Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner starring as Jean Gray. Therefore, let's cross our fingers for luck and wait for the results, because, according to critics, the film promises to be “hot”, and also guarantees a fuller disclosure of the characters we love and will show whether “special” people are capable of living in peace with ordinary people.

7. Men in Black: International (release date: June 17)

Men in Black: International, alas, has nothing to do with the first film, which later became a cult, starring the delightful Will Smith and the unshakable Tommy Lee Jones. The fourth film tells the story of two agents in London pursued by a legendary corporation that haunts them for personal reasons. This time the main roles will be played by the stars of the movie "Thor: Ragnarok" Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson. But despite such drastic changes in the cast, fans of this franchise are eagerly awaiting the premiere, because they know that Men in Black is always bright, exciting and original.

8. Spider-Man: Far From Home (release date: July 5)

The last MCU film of the year is the sequel to Spider-Man. John Watts is returning to directing, and according to Marvel boss Kevin Feige, the film takes place just after the events of Avengers 4. According to some reports appearing on the Internet, this picture is about Peter Parker and his friends who are on a trip to Europe. In addition, after the events in Infinity War, which literally shocked fans of the Spiderman films, viewers will definitely want to see him on the screen again, because this picture will help to dot the “i's” in the history of their favorite character.

9. The Lion King (release date: July 19)

The Lion King is the latest in a series of Disney adaptations / remakes directed by Jon Favreau, creator of The Jungle Book, and is set to be one of the studio's biggest hits next year. The first trailer has amassed over two hundred million views on YouTube in its first 24 hours and, like The Jungle Book, it will be a mix of live action and CGI. An incredible voice cast featuring Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Keegan-Michael Key, John Oliver and Beyoncé will be a welcome addition. In addition, this is a childhood story beloved by many, which will finally come to life as a full-fledged motion picture, not animation.

10. Joker (release date October 4)

The first of many planned Joker films will hit theaters in October. No, this is not the Jared Leto Joker we saw in Suicide Squad. It will be an original film with an equally interesting version of the clown prince of crimes, starring Joaquin Phoenix. It is also worth noting the fact that this film was nominated for an Oscar. In addition, they promise that this picture will tell the full story of this character for the first time, starting with how the Joker appeared and how he became the most ingenious and at the same time absolutely insane and charismatic villain from the comics. It is also believed that Joaquin may well qualify for the title of "best Joker", and therefore fans are eagerly awaiting the premiere in order to compare him with the legendary Heath Ledger.

11. Game of Thrones season 8 (release date: April 15)

And, of course, it is impossible not to mention such a long-awaited premiere as the continuation of the legendary series "Game of Thrones", which was extended for an 8th season to the delight of its fans. This season, according to the producers and showrunners, all the accents will finally be set and the audience will find out how the war between Lions and Wolves will end, as well as whether old enemies will be able to rally among themselves and conclude an alliance to counter the threat from the North, from where to all carefree kingdoms are advancing the White Walkers and their leader, riding on a newly acquired dragon.

Continuing the theme of films - which have every chance of becoming a cult.
