Below is a list of movies I’m really excited to see in 2016. There are many indie films and smaller releases that I’m looking forward to, but these are the big ones — these are the ones that have been on my radar for a while.
Deadpool
The marketing for this movie is just crazy good. I haven’t read the comic books, but I’ve seen pictures on tumblr and around the web that have introduced me to the character. I’m excited about the fact that the movie’s trailer makes it clear that Deadpool will be sarcastic as fuck, and that he will be breaking the fourth wall during the movie. I really hope this movie is everything I hope it will be and everything the trailers promise it to be.
Ghostbusters
Badass women fighting ghosts and kicking ass. If it’s even a quarter as exciting and awesome as Mad Max: Fury Road it’ll be on my end-of-the-year top 10 list.
Captain America: Civil War
I read the comic series, and although the premise in the movies is different, the tension between Captain America and Iron Man has been built up during the previous Avengers movies, and them going at it is exciting as hell. Also, there are rumours that Spider Man will make an appearance in the Civil War storyline (whether it’s in this movie or the later Avengers movie IDK, but I’m excited).
Suicide Squad
Nothing will beat Heath Ledger’s Joker, but from what I’ve seen, Jared Leto looks great and just the right amount of insane. The casting in this movie seems to be on point, and seeing the Justice League villains get together to be on the good side for a while seems like an awesome idea.
Doctor Strange
I know nothing about this character. However, when even the movie’s director himself says that the movie is weird — you know it’s going to be good.
Hail, Caesar
I went on a Coen Brothers binge earlier in 2015, and I’m looking forward to continuing that in 2016.
