5 Hottest Movies of November You Need to Watch
Here are the movie releases to have on your radar this November.

As we head towards the holiday movie season, we’re getting a number of big-screen entries to scare, entice, interest, and entertain movie-goers and fans of all genres. From superhero returns to 1700s biopics, here are the movies to keep your eyes on this November:
Dear David
Release date: 3 November 2023
Carrying on the Halloween horror theme from October, Dear David stars Augustus Prew, Andrea Bang, René Escobar Jr., Cameron Nicoll, and Justin Long, and takes a more modern spin on the haunting genre. The film follows a man who, after responding to some internet trolls, becomes haunted by the ghost of a dead child named David.
The Marvels
Release date: 10 November 2023
Admittedly, Marvel’s recent entries into the MCU have been a somewhat mixed bag, but the studio is banking on another ensemble movie to reignite the interest. The Marvels, which is kind of a sequel to Captain Marvel, brings back Brie Larson, and adds Teyonah Parris as Rambeau (who appeared in WandaVision) alongside Iman Vellani returning as Kamala from the Ms. Marvel TV show.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
Release date: 17 November 2023
In case you may not have known, the Hunger Games is getting a prequel movie, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, this November, which stars Peter Dinklage, Viola Davis, Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler, Hunter Schafer, Josh Andrés Rivera, and Jason Schwartzman. Set years before the first Hunger Games movie, this new entry follows 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow (prior to becoming the tyrannical President of Panem) who is assigned to mentor a defiant young woman ahead of the 10th annual Hunger Games.
Napoleon
Release date: 24 November 2023
Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby, Napoleon is a deep-dive look at the military commander’s origins and his swift, ruthless climb to becoming emperor, viewed through the prism of his addictive and often volatile relationship with his wife and one true love, Josephine.
Wish
Release date: 24 November 2023
For those looking for something fun and light-hearted this November, the Disney studio that created Frozen is back with another animated, sing-a-long adventure in Wish. The film utilises the voice talents of Ariana DeBose and Chris Pine and follows a 17-year-old girl named Asha who senses a darkness that no one else does about the kingdom’s ruler, King Magnifico. This eventually leads to her trying to make a passionate plea to the stars in a moment of need and realises that an actual star from the sky named Star (seems fitting) answers Asha’s wish.
