Every Movie Coming In 2018 That Should Be On Your Radar

Sometimes, we can look ahead to the coming year’s movie release schedule, and feel less than enthused. 2018 is most assuredly not one of those occasions. The next calendar year looks set to deliver something for everyone. From superheroes and family fare, to horrors and thrillers; from big studio comedies and smaller, indie films, to interesting documentaries and true-story dramas – 2018 is already packed with arrival slots for some very exciting films.

Ant-Man And The Wasp

Date: July 6th
Director: Peyton Reed
Writers: Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, Andrew Barrer, Gabriel Ferrari, and Paul Rudd
Cast: Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michelle Pfeiffer, Walton Goggins, Judy Greer, Hannah John-Kamen, Michael Douglas, Laurence Fishburne, Michael Pena, Randall Park, Abby Ryder Fortson.

The overriding suspicion surrounding this sequel to 2015’s Ant-Man is that Scott Lang’s forays into the Quantum Realm in that film will lead him back there in this sequel, for the purpose of rescuing the original Wasp – Janet Van Dyne. In what is sure to prove to be epic casting, Janet (mother of Hope, the new Wasp) will be played by Michelle Pfeiffer.

The Nun

Date: July 13th
Director:
Corin Hardy
Writers:
Gary Dauberman and James Wan
Cast:
Taissa Farmiga, Bonnie Aarons, Demian Bechir, Charlotte Hope, Jonny Coyne, Ingrid Bisu, Jonas Bloquet, Sandra Teles.

The fifth instalment in the Conjuring franchise, this film is a spinoff of 2016’s The Conjuring 2. It’s essentially a prequel, exploring the story behind the demonic nun that appeared in the core films. Set in 1952, the story follows the investigation into the strange death of a nun at a Romanian Monastery. This will be the third Conjuring spinoff script from screenwriter Gary Dauberman, after Annabelle, and Annabelle: Creation.

Mission Impossible 6

Date: July 27th
Director: Christopher McQuarrie
Writer: Christopher McQuarrie
Cast: Tom Cruise, Michelle Monaghan, Henry Cavill, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Simon Pegg, Alec Baldwin, Ving Rhames, Angela Bassett.

There was already a great deal of press coverage of Mission: Impossible 6 before the film was ever in the can. Firstly, Tom Cruise was reported to be holding out for a salary increase, then the production schedule was altered due to the star injuring himself while performing a stunt. More recently, a vast amount of column inches have been dedicated to the fact that Henry Cavill’s M:I6 moustache had to be digitally removed from Justice League reshoots. But, what about the actual plot? It remains unconfirmed – but rumours suggest a greater focus on the personal life of Ethan Hunt.
