Johnny English 3 || September 20, 2018
Rowan Atkinson, or Mr. Bean, as we love to call him is back for a 3rd installment of Johnny English, the useless, but effective British spy. And if the first two installments are anything to go by, this promises to be hilarious.

X-Men: Dark Phoenix || November 2
X-Men is one of the most popular comic franchises, having giving us unforgettable characters like Wolverine, Rogue, Magneto, Professor Xavier, etc. But the last installment, ‘X-Men – Apocalypse’ performed poorly – critically and financially, and a lot rests on the success of this one. Core X-Men fans don’t care though. Whatever they give us, we will lap it up.

Aquaman || December 21
We’re not going to talk about how good or bad Justice League was, but in December this year, we will be seeing more of Jason Mamoa’s Aquaman – the super-amphibi-human. Hope DC doesn’t flunk it as usual.

Mary Poppins Returns || December 25
After 54 years, Mary Poppins, the character first portrayed by the legendary Julie Andrews will be making an iconic return to our screens. Set 25 years after the events of the first installment, this sequel stars Emily Blunt as the titular character. It is a perfect Christmas day musical for families this year.

Other worthy mentions include The Equalizer 2, Tomb Raider – the reboot, Venom, Ready Player One, The New Mutants and Annihilation. 2018 is a fabulous year for movie-goers, and you can plan your calendar from this list. Enjoy, share.
Update: Funke Akindele’s name has been removed from the Infinity Wars’ IMDB page, and Geneveive Nnaji’s name has replaced it as member of the Dora Milaje. This has led to speculations it was a hack/user-generated edit. Until either of them confirm or deny participation in the movie, it is all a rumor.
