Top 10 Upcoming Movies 2022 And Cosplay Costumes

2021 was a satisfying year for action cinema fans, 2022 is shaping up to be even more thrilling. With several action movies of all budgets slated for theatrical and streaming release this year, let’s take a quick look at what film industries worldwide have in store for us.

Hollywood is back in full swing despite ongoing pandemic-related obstacles, and both Marvel and DC have multiple superhero blockbusters coming this year. Aside from the expected MCU installments like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder, it’s the animated sequel Across the Spider-Verse, due this fall, that looks like it could be the most likely to embrace the wonder and the unexpected. It’s also hard not to eagerly await Matt Reeves’ version of The Batman despite the character’s ubiquity — with its stacked cast and gorgeous trailers, the film could end up being one the year’s biggest events. Other blockbusters that could prove interesting include Ambulance (where it seems Michael Bay has discovered drones) and Bullet Train (the next outing from David Leitch and 87North, known for John Wick, Atomic Blonde, and Nobody), telling the story of five assassins on a bullet train who discover their missions have something in common. And, of course, James Cameron’s Avatar 2 is finally coming out at the end of the year.

As the DC movie universe prepares to unleash its next wave with The Flash, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and more, we’re of course keeping an eye on the overall plan for not just the DC Extended Universe but also the DC Comics live-action movie and projects that may not quite fall into that particular world.

Unlike Marvel, DC’s plans don’t include synergy across all mediums. Their movies, while containing many of the same characters, don’t generally cross over with the CW TV-verse that includes The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and Superman & Lois, or DC Universe streaming shows like Titans and Doom Patrol. Even the Robert Pattinson/Matt Reeves Batman is set in a different universe from the other current DC movies. At the same time, some HBO Max exclusives are direct tie-ins to the DCEU, such as Gotham PD and Peacemaker.

So let’s take a look at the road ahead for both the DCEU and the bigger universe of DC movies and shows. From Black Adam to Shazam! Fury of the Gods to Aquaman 2 and beyond, read on for all of DC’s planned movies and shows. Some of these are definitely happening, some are in development, and some have big question marks surrounding them, but all could wind up on the big screen sooner or later… (And head here if you want a breakdown of just which DC 2022 movies and TV shows are happening.)

With all of our movie-themed Halloween costumes, you can look like you’re ready for the big screen in no time!

Thor: Love and Thunder is scheduled for a summer release in July. New updates from the set have been keeping fans on their toes while waiting for the sure-to-be superhit’s release especially after movie-goers hailed the previous edition of the franchise. Directed by Taika Waititi, the movie has a star-studded cast with Chris Hemsworth helming the project as Thor alongside Christian Bale, Natalie Portman, Matt Damon and more.

According to recent reports, via Comicbook, the movie is set to go back into filming for another bout of reshoots with Christian Bale, who is seemingly playing the character of Gorr the God Butcher in the movie, has been called back for another round of additional photography which is the most significant part of MCU productions. Reshoots were said to have begun again last week following an additional second-round of photography earlier this year. Not much has been revealed about Bales’ reshoots and it is still unclear if they have already concluded them or have yet to commence them altogether.

Meanwhile, Director Waititi has gone on record to share the little with the fans he is allowed to tease without setting off MCU’s security alarms. In a previous interview, he revealed that the new movie will have some similarities with its predecessor Thor: Ragnarok. Waititi also made it a point to note that this movie is by far the craziest movie he has ever created given his adventurous life and numerous “crazy” anecdotes to boast of. He went on to remark, “If you wrote down all the elements of this film, it shouldn’t make sense. It’s almost like it shouldn’t be made.”

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (April,2022)

Throughout the “Harry Potter” franchise, a variety of directors have brought to the screen the world that J.K Rowling created in one of the most acclaimed and beloved children’s sagas in the world. From the happy and fanciful vision that Chris Columbus presented us with about Hogwarts in his first two installments, to the darkest vision of Alfonso Cuarón in “The Prisoner of Azkaban”.

The rest of the great Fantastic Beasts 3 The Secrets of Dumbledore premieres of HBO Max in April 2022

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (May 6,2022)

Though Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ earliest trailer strongly implied that a Stephen Strange variant is going to be the movie’s big bad, the Scarlet Witch’s presence in the story and the way that WandaVision came to a close has also implied that Wanda Maximoff may have something to do with the multiverse shattering into a million pieces. While Multiverse of Madness’ newest ad spot doesn’t explicitly spell out how reality comes undone around Earth’s magical heroes, it may explain why by confirming the return of two interesting characters.

Despite Wanda and Strange not having spent the most time on screen together up until this point, the new trailer establishes that the pair have quite a bit in common. For example, they both have recurring dreams of (what appear to be) other universes only to wake up in their home realities, which feel like nightmares. In contrast to Strange’s night terrors that all seem to revolve around apocalyptic scenarios and his love for Christine Palmer, Wanda’s dreams are haunted by visions of her twin sons Billy and Tommy, who still exist in other dimensions apparently. WandaVision’s finale made it clear that, even though Wanda was forced to undo the magic that made her sons exist in that particular dimension, they were still out there somewhere in the multiverse and able to call to her.

The MCU’s rules about whether people are meant to be mucking around in other realities haven’t exactly been set in stone yet. It stands to reason, though, that a grieving witch trying to get her children back by stealing copies of them from other universes isn’t the best idea. And it goes against the natural order in a way that might make some important people upset.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hits theaters on May 6.

Batgirl (April 5, 2022)

Leslie Grace stars as Barbara Gordon/Batgirl in this movie which is being made for HBO Max. J. K. Simmons, Brendan Fraser, Ivory Aquino, and Michael Keaton — yes, Batman himself — will co-star in the film.
