2015 is shaping up to be a big year for blockbuster movies. From another point of view, Hollywood’s 2015 offerings are a load of big money sequels and endless superhero guff.
One way or another, the list just keeps growing.
Star Wars, Avengers 2, Superman vs. Batman, and Mockingjay lead the team. But let’s start in chronological order with Fantastic Four: March 6th, 2015
Directed by Josh Trank from the script written by Jeremy Slater and Seth Graeme-Smith, the film could be a big fun surprise.
Cinderella: March 13th, 2015
Directed by Kenneth Branagh, the live-action take on the classic story starring Lily James in the title role follows a slew of post-Alice in Wonderland big screen fairy tales.
The Avengers: Age of Ultron: May 1st, 2015
Directed by Joss Whedon, a combination of a genius billionaire playboy philanthropist, a super-soldier, a hulking green monster, and a demi-God that controls lightning and thunder is going to be one of the year’s biggest events just because of the expectations created by the first film’s success.
Terminator 5: June 26th, 2015
The fifth installment in favorite genocidal cyborg franchise will give us a whole new layer of SkyNet consequences to worry about. The chances for success are as high as the stakes since the movie launching a brand new trilogy.
Independence Day 2: July 3rd, 2015
Directed by Roland Emmerich, Jeff Goldblum has another crazy computer virus up his sleeve to save the day. The original film crushed the summer box office in 1996, but it’s a relatively safe bet for Emmerich after his latest film, White House Down, stumbled at the box office.
Pirates of the Caribbean 5: July 10th, 2015
Disney is hoping the Kon-Tiki duo of Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg can bring some originality back to what at one time was the most entertaining adventure on big-screen. Besides, you can bet that Johnny Depp will still have the same sun-damaged brain.
James Bond 24: November 6th, 2015
After all, Daniel Craig and director Sam Mendes reunite for the follow-up to the most critically acclaimed Bond film ever, especially since the sky didn’t actually fall in the last installment.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2: November 20th, 2015
The final chapter in the Hunger Games saga arrives in theaters this November and we can hear the sadness of a million fans echoing through the sands of time as we speak.
Finding Dory: November 25th, 2015
The Finding Nemo sequel probably won’t fail to make millions cashing in on our love for aquatic mayhem and feels with Oscar host Ellen DeGeneres taking the lead role as her beloved animated fish Dory.
2015 movies with no release date:
Superman vs. Batman, Pitch Perfect 2, Star Wars: Episode VII, Jurassic Park 4 and Avatar 2 are among those movies with no release dates, but we firmly believe that the producers will – uhm – find a way and make all of the money in 2015.
What are your thoughts?
Avatar 2 has been confirmed to come out in December 2016
Thank you for this article, I didn’t even know about some of these! Super stoked!
There won’t be enough money to go around. As big as some of these films will be it will be matched by equally financial flops ala Lone Ranger. Only in this case there will be more than one big bomb in 2015.
