6 Upcoming Movie Releases You Need to Know About
Here are the under-the-radar movies you need to add to your watchlist!
Over the next year and a bit, there are a lot of movies coming your way. Of course, the big franchises and superhero flicks tend to get all the buzz, so we’ve highlighted 6 other movies that deserve some more attention:
Flowervale Street
Release date: 14 August 2026
There is an awful lot of mystery surrounding Flowervale Street, but what we do know is that this film centres around a family in the 1980s that starts to notice bizarre happenings in their neighbourhood. The kicker: dinosaurs are involved. The movie stars Ewan McGregor and Anne Hathaway.

A Quiet Place: Part 3
Release date: 30 June 2027
After the first two films (and a prequel), another entry in the A Quiet Place franchise is in the works. A Quiet Place: Part III will pick up on the main plotline, following the Abbott family’s story, with Emily Blunt, Cillian Murphy, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe returning. John Krasinski is returning to write, direct, and produce.

Heat 2
Release date: TBC
This one has very few details about it, but a sequel to the 1995 crime classic Heat is on the cards. Heat 2, which will act as a prequel and a sequel, will be directed by Michael Mann and is set to star Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale.

Godzilla x Kong: Supernova
Release date: 26 March 2027
The next instalment in the Monsterverse franchise will arrive in March 2027, seeing Godzilla once again team-up with King Kong in order to take down an otherwordly threat. It will act as a sequel to 2024’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and stars Kaitlyn Dever, Dan Stevens, Jack O’Connell, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Matthew Modine, Delroy Lindo, and Sam Neill, with Stevens reprising his role from the previous film.

Hokum
Release date: 1 May 2026
One of the most interesting horror directors in Hollywood is Damian Mc Carthy. His Irish indie film Caveat is the perfect example of the dread he can bring to the big-screen, followed by the unnerving horror of Oddity (honestly, one of the scariest movies ever made). His next film stars Adam Scott and continues the obscure, haunting imagery and slow-burn tension he’s known for. Hokum follows a writer who visits an Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, unaware that the property is said to be haunted by a witch.

The Mummy
Release date: 17 April 2026
Evil Dead Rise director Lee Cronin’s take on the iconic Mummy franchise is destined to be unleashed later in 2026 with James Wan (The Conjuring) and Jason Blum producing. This horror-first reimagining of the iconic IP follows the young daughter of a journalist who disappears without a trace in the desert. The shattered family is stunned when the girl suddenly reappears eight years later. But what should have been a joyful family reunion quickly turns into a true nightmare.
