Next 10 Most Anticipated Hollywood Blockbusters in 2017 - Part II

This is the second part of the Blockbuster List containing the countdown from number 11 to 20. As I have mentioned in my previous post, there are up to 30 potential Blockbusters slated to hit the theater this year, so this is an awesome year to be a movie fan. Of course, not all of the 30 movies will ultimately do great in the theaters after their release, but it is worth keeping a watch on these movies and hope they come up good. The 10 movies that miss out from this list are: 
30. Underworld: Blood Wars - The fifth installment of the Underworld franchise with Kate Beckinsale as Vampire death dealer Salene 
29. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter - The final installment of Mila Zovovic's Resident Evil franchise

21. Cars 3 - The third installment of Pixar's Cars trilogy bringing back the beloved Lightening 

20. The Dark Tower

 

This is the much awaited movie adaptation the famous Dark Tower series of novels written by Stephen King. The story can be categorized as dark scifi horror western fantasy thriller and is directed by Nikolaj Arsel. Idris Elba plays the protagonist Roland Deschain and Mathhew McConoughey plays the villainous sorcerer Walter Padick. The story is about an eleven year old boy Jake Chambers who discovers clues about another dimension called Mid-World where he is spirited away and meets the lone knight Roland Deschain who is on a quest to reach the "Dark Tower" that resides in End-World and together they venture to reach the nexus point between time and space which will save Mid-World from extinction while being pursued by the devilish sorcerer Walter Padick.

The Dark Tower is set to be released on July 28, 2017
 

 19. Ghost In The Shell

Directed by Rupert Sanders and written by Jamie Moss and Ehren Kruger, Ghost In The Shell is a scifi action film based on the Japanese Manga series of the same name by Masamune Shirow. The story is about a Cyborg called The Major who is a commander in the anti-cyber terrorist force and her attempt to bring down a nefarious hacker. If the trailers are anything to go by, Cinematographer Jess Hall has made the movie look stunning. The film stars Scarlett Johansson (as The Major), Michael Pitt, Pilou Asbæk, Chin Han and Juliette Binoche.
Ghost In The Shell is scheduled to released on March 31, 2017.

18. Kingsman: The Golden Circle

Director Matthew Vaughn brings us the sequel to the 2015 hit spy action-comedy Kingsman -The Secret Service which is based on the Secret Service comic book series written by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons. In this movie - Eggsy, Merlin and Roxy travels to USA to join forces with Statesman, Kingsman's American counterpart to face the criminal mastermind Poppy. Kingsman - The Golden Circle has a star studded cast of Taron Egerton as Gary "Eggsy" Unwin / Galahad, a Kingsman secret agent and the main hero, Sophie Cookson as Roxanne "Roxy" Morton / Lancelot - a Kingsman secret agent and Eggsy's best friend, Colin Firth as Harry Hart - Eggsy’s presumably dead former mentor and Kingsman's top secret agent,  Mark Strong as Merlin, Halle Berry, Pedro Pascal, Channing Tatum ,Jeff Bridges,Samantha Womack ,Elton John, Vinnie Jones and Julianne Moore as Poppy, the main villain of the movie. the 2015 movie brought back the Spy Action-Thriller genre back and was stylish with some crazy action sequence. Given the track record of Matthew Vaughn, this movie hopefully would raise the bar that bit higher.
Kingsman - The Golden Circle is scheduled to release on October 6, 2017. 

17. Mummy

The Mummy franchise reboot is all set to unleash on the silver screen and set up the Universal Monster shared Universe. That is a shared universe where you will have The Mummy, Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde, Frankenstein, Dracula, Van Helsing.  This movie is the first installment of the Monster-verse and stars Tom Cruise, Sofia Boutella as Princess Ahmanet / The Mummy, Javier Botet as the Egyptian God Set, Annabelle Wallis, Jake Johnson, Courtney B. Vance and Russell Crowe as Dr. Henry Jekyll / Mr Hyde. Universal Studios are very series about their shared Universe and landing star power like Tom Cruise and Russel Crowe this movie is enough to catch our attention. The first trailers look pretty good and very different from the previous Mummy trilogy. The interesting thing is that since Tom Cruise is said to be like the Tony Stark of this franchise linking all the different movies in this Movie Universe, would it be completely insane to speculate that he may be playing Van Helsing? We will wait and watch. 
Mummy is scheduled to release in theaters on June 9, 2017. 

16. Transformers: The Last Knight

The Fifth Installment of the Transformer franchise is upon us. I liked the first Transformer movie but the next three were not that good. But still it is fun to watch the Autobots and Decepticons battle it out. In the previous movie, Optimus Prime left earth to find the Creators of the Transformers and in his absence, Earth is under the protection of the remaining Autobots. In the trailers that have been released, we see Optimus Prime battling Bumblebee and some kind of time traveling happening as it can be seen that the Transformers are fighting it out in King Arthur's days. We also catch a glimpse of Cybertron. Well, we have no clue what is going on in this movie and my expectations are pretty tempered when it comes to the story, I just want to see some cool action sequence. What is intriguing is the addition of Sir Anthony Hopkins in the cast playing an English Lord. Director Michael Bay returns for this fifth installment and also reprising their roles from previous movie are Mark Wahlberg, Tyrese Gibson, Isabela Monar Josh Duhamel among others.

Transformers : The Last Knight is scheduled to release on June 23, 2017. 

15. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales 

Johnny Depp is back as Captain Jack Sparrow is back in the fifth installment of the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise and this time he is going to face the powerful and merciless ghost pirate hunter Capitán Salazar, who was trapped in the Devil's Triangle and after escaping, he seeks the Trident of Poseidon to kill every pirate at sea and exact revenge on his old enemy, Jack Sparrow. We welcome back in this movie popular characters like Captain Barbossa played by Geoffrey Rush, Captain Will Turner played by Orlando Bloom and Kevin McNally as Joshamee Gibbs. Capitán Salazar is played by the fantastic Javier Bardem (No Country For Old Men, Vickey Christina Barcelona, Skyfall). Directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg from a script by Jeff Nathanson, the filmmakers have cited that this movie's tone is inspired by the first movie of the Franchise and if it proves to be as good a movie as the first one then we are in for a treat.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is scheduled to release on May 26, 2017

14. Beauty and the Beast

Based on Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont'se fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast is the live-action adaptation of the 1991 Disney Animated movie (of the same name). The film has a fantastic ensemble cast that includes Emma Watson as Bella , Dan Stevens as The Beast, Luke Evans, Kevin Kline, Josh Gad, Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Audra McDonald, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Ian McKellen and Emma Thompson among others. The trailer looks beautiful and we are expecting another Disney Classic.
Beauty and the Beast is scheduled to release on March 17, 2017. 

13. Alien Covenant

 

 
A sequel to the 2015 Scifi horror Prometheus, Alien Covenant is the second installment of the Alien Prequel series and the sixth movie of the Alien Franchise. This movie follows the events after what happened in Prometheus expedition. Ridley Scott is back in the Director's chair and the cast include Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, Guy Pierce, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride, Demián Bichir, Carmen Ejogo, Amy Seimetz, Jussie Smollett, Callie Hernandez, Nathaniel Dean, Alexander England and Benjamin Rigby. This is an R rated movie so expect some real nasty horror scenes.
Alien Covenant is scheduled to release on May 19,2017 

12. Blade Runner 2049

Blade Runner 2049 is the sequel to the 1982 Science Fiction Cult Classic film - Blade Runner which was directed by Ridley Scott. Blade Runner 2049 is directed by Denis Villeneuve (Sicario, Arrival, Enemy) and follows the story of LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling) who finds a long buried secret that threatens to destroy whats left of the society and it leads him to search for Rick Deckard, a former LAPD Blade Runner who had gone missing 30 years back. Reprising his role since the 1982 movie as Rick DecKard is Harrison Ford and he is joined in the cast by Ryan Gosling, Jared Leto, Dave Bautista, Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, Carla Juri and Lennie James.
Blade Runner 2049 is scheduled to release on October 6, 2017.  

11. The Fate of the Furious

The Eight installment of the Fast And Furious series is set to hit the theater this year. This will be the first movie post the sad demise of Paul Walker, who starred in all of the previous seven installments. In this movie, the Fast And Furious crew is pitted against their very own Dom, who has been mysteriously seduced by none other than the ever gorgeous Charlize Theron. Unlike bonds are formed in the form of The Rock and Jason Statham and the rest of the crew joins them in a bid to stop Vin Diesel. Reprising their roles from the previous movies are Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Scott Eastwood and they are joined by Kurt Russell, Helen Mirren and Charlize Theron. With the most stellar star cast in the entirety of this franchise, and some very expected adrenaline pumping crazy car stunts, this movie is certainly going to be one of the most entertaining action movie of this year.
Fate Of The Furious is scheduled to be released on April 14, 2017.

10 Most Anticipated Hollywood Blockbusters in 2017 - Part I

2017 is shaping up to be spectacular for us movie maniacs. So many blockbusters in the card, big directors making a comeback and some very interesting movies all lining up to make this year a one to remember. The list is so big that I have decided to put in as many as five blog to cover them all. I am going to focus first on the potential Blockbusters coming up in this year. There are almost 30 movies in this category, which I will break into a two parts of ten movies each and then mention the remaining ten to complete all the 30. This list is my top ten blockbuster movies to be releasing this year.

10. Logan

 
The Third Installment of the Wolverine Series in the XMen franchise is all set to rip the screen with the famed adamantium claws. This movie is to be Hugh Jackman's last movie as Wolverine after playing the character for 17 years (since the release of the first X-Men movie, way back in 2000).
The movie draws inspiration from the very famous Old Man Logan comic book story line, and the initial trailers hint at a very personal story of Wolverine and X23 (another child mutant with similar powers) It is fitting that Patrick Stewart reprises his role as Professor Charles Xavier, bringing a semblance of closure as he started of as the mentor of Wolverine in the first X-Men movie and
Wolverine is the mentor of X-23 in this movie. The gritty Western theme and going for an R rating looks perfect for this movie and a fitting swansong to Hugh Jackman's Wolverine.
Logan Releases on March 3, 2017.

9. Justice League

 
This movie is the sequel to the 2016 Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice movie.
With Superman (presumably) dead, Batman goes on a mission to find the meta-humans The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg with the help of Wonder Woman to form the Justice League.
With the powerful villain Darkseid of Jack Kirby's New Gods fame already teased in one of the Batman's dream sequence in Dawn Of Justice, his uncle Steppenwolf is all set to be the
main antagonist of this movie. Steppenwolf (who was seen introducing the Mother Boxes to Lex Luthor) is one of the military leads of Apokolips, the planet where Darkseid rules;is an
immortal with superhuman strength and the newly formed Justice League will be pitted against him and his paradeamons.Henry Cavill has already teased the black Superman costume in Instagram, so we can bet Superman will return in the end (surprise....!!!). Zack Snyder will helm the Director's chair again while Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck will be back as Superman and Batman respectively, while Gal Gadot will repise her role as Wonder Woman.
This movie will see a host of exciting actors joining the DC bandwagon with Ezra Miller (Credence Bareborn in Fantastic Beast and Where To Find Them) as Barry Allen (The Flash),
Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo of Game Of Thrones) as Arthur Curry (Aquaman) , Ray Fisher as Victor Stone (Cyborg), Willem Defoe as Nuidis Vulko (Atlantian), Amber Herd as Meera (Aquaman's Love interest), J.K Simmons as Commissioner Gordon. Reprising their roles from the previous movies are Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jeremy Irons as Alfre Pennyworth and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. I was a bit dissapointed with Batman V Superman theatrical release (though the Extended Cut was far better), so I am keeping my finger's crossed for this one. Come on Jack Snyder, give us an awesome Justice League movie please.
Justice League is scheduled to be released on November 17, 2017. 

8. Dunkirk

 
Stepping away from the Science Fiction genre, Christopher Nolan's next installment is an epic War Thriller set during World War II and is based on the events of Operation Dynamo, also known as the Dunkirk evacuation or the Miracle of Dunkirk, which was the evacuation of Allied soldiers from the beaches and harbor of Dunkirk, France, between 26 May and 4 June 1940 after being surrounded by the German Army.
Cinematography is in the hands of Hoyte van Hoytema (Intersteller) and Hans Zimmer will be scoring the music for this movie. Witten, Co-Produced and Directed by Christopher Nolan, this movie has the newcomer Fionn Whitehead as the lead along with Cillian Murphy, Jack Lowden, Aneurin Barnard, Harry Styles, James D'Arcy, Barry Keoghan and Tom Glynn-Carney among others. We are expecting another Nolan Epic.
Dunkirk is scheduled to be released on July 21, 2017.

7. War for the Planet of the Apes

 
Caesar is back in the third installment of the Planet Of The Apes Reboot,leading the army of genetically enhanced apes against human beings in a full blown war that will shape the future of their species and Earth. This movie is a sequel to the critically acclaimed 2014 movie, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. The movie trailer looks beautiful  and exciting. Directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield, Let Me In,Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) and written by Mark Bomback and Reeves,the film stars Andy Serkis as Caeser, Woody Harrelson as the main human antagonist, Steve Zahn and Judy Greer among others.
War for the Planet of the Apes is scheduled to be released on July 14, 2017

6. Kong: Skull Island

 
Paying an omage to the cult classic Apocalypse Now, Legendary Picture brings a reinterpretation of the mythical King Kong back to the silver screen as the second installment of their own shared movie universe. The film is set in the 1970's when a team of soldiers and explorers venture into the uncharted Skull Island in the Pacific Ocean and face the Island's resident King, the giant Kong.
With Godzilla Vs Kong set for a May 29, 2020 release date, and a rebooted Godzilla debuting in 2014; it lead to the doubt - how is Kong going to fight this huge Godzilla?
The trailers of this film has put that concern to bed. This King Kong is massive, and the biggest incarnation we have ever seen in the cinemas in terms of size. The movie is directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts and has a star studded cast of Tom Hiddlestone, Brie Larson, Samuel L Jackson, John Goodman, John C Riley, Toby Kebbel among others.
Kong: Skull Island is scheduled to be released on March 10, 2017

5. Thor Ragnarok

Ragnarok is the Norse Mythology of apocalypse. Add to it the Gladiatorial battle of Planet Hulk story and we have got our self an epic in hand.
With the current Infinity Gauntlet story line of the MCU racing toward the two part Infinity Wars movie, Thor Ragnarok, directed by Taika Waititi(What We Do In The Shadows, Hunt For Wilderpeople), looks to be a pivotal moment in Phase Three, as per Kevin Feige, which will change the stakes altogether, much like what Captain America Winter Soldier did in Phase II.
This movie will introduce a lot of important characters, namely Valkyrie played by Tessa Thompson (Selma, Creed, Westworld), The Grandmaster played by Jeff Goldblum (Independence Day, Jurassic Park), Skurge played by Karl Urban (Lord Of The Rings, Star Trek, Judge Dredd),
the powerful Surtur, the fire demon living in the extra-dimensional plane of Muspelheim and Thor's nemesis and Hela played by Cate Blanchett - the ruler of Hel. Reprising their roles from previous movies are Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Tom Hiddlestone as Loki, Sir Antony Hopkins as Odin, Idris Elba as Heimdall and Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/Hulk. And adding to this already star studded cast is Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange. Both Korg and Meik, characters from Planet Hulk story line are included in this movie, as well as Taika providing a hint at the Celestial (introduced in Guardians Of Galaxy movie) in his Instagram posts, speculations are ripe if one of the the greatest characters in Thor's Mythology who also plays an important part in the Planet Hulk story line could show up - Beta Ray Bill. James Gunn has said that Thanos will not appear in GOTG2, so we can safely bet that Thanos will have some part to play in Ragnarok (if Hela is the replacement for Lady Death then it makes sense). Thor and Hulk battling in the Gladiator ring, now  that is something I will pay my money for.
Thor: Ragnarok is scheduled to be released on November 3, 2017

4. Wonder Woman

 
With Batman V Superman creating a distinct split in the audience worldwide, DC and Warner Brothers are desperately in search of a movie that is a massive hit unanimously across the world.
In terms of revenue, Batman V Superman was among the top ten highest grossing movies of 2016, but the voice of the critics and audience panning many aspects of the movie is not what the studio was really aspiring for.With Marvel Studios rolling on and on, DC is in need of a home run. And Wonder Woman just maybe that movie.
Set during World War I, when Steve Trevor crash lands in Themyscira,the daughter of Zeus - Princess Diana (Wonder Woman) learns about the war from him and leaves her home to help humanity and stop the war. Aries, the son of Zeus and the God of War is set to be the main villain in this movie.Till now the trailers look really good, the action sequence looks spectacular and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman was one of the best things to come out of the Batman V Superman movie (that entry music...wow..!!).
The film is directed by Patty Jenkins (Monsters), written by Allan Heinberg and Geoff Johns, from a story by Heinberg and Zack Snyder, and stars Gal Gadot as Princess Diana,
Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, Connie Nielsen as Queen Hippolyta of Themyscira, Robin Wright as General Antiope(the sister of Hippolyta and Diana's aunt) and Lucy Davis as Etta Candy
(Steve Trevor's secretary)along with others. A lot is riding on this movie, not only in terms of the stability of the DC movie universe but also in establishing the credibility of Female Superheroes in this world of Superhero movies.
Wonder Woman is scheduled to be released on June 2, 2017  

3. Spiderman : Homecoming

  
Spiderman made a triumphant debut in the  MCU, fighting alongside Team Ironman in Captain America Civil War. This year Marvel's web slinger gets his solo movie in Spiderman Homecoming which will be a part of the ongoing MCU. Director Jon Watts is going to take Peter Parker back to his High School days, where he juggles between his life as an ordinary school student and his alter ego -Spiderman. Robert Downing Jr will reprise his role as Tony Stark/Iron Man, and this movie will enhance the relationship between him and Peter Parker already set in Civil War as he takes on a mentor role in Spiderman's life. Tom Holland will return in this movie as Spiderman and will be facing formidable foes like Phineas Mason / Tinkerer (played by Michael Chernus), Shocker (played by Bokeem Woodbine), and the main villain of the movie - Adrian Toomes / Vulture played by Michael Keaton. Other casts include Marisa Tomei as May Parker, Zendaya as Michelle,Laura Harrier as Liz Allan, Tony Revolori as Flash Thompson. Jon Favreau reprises his role as Happy Hogan from the Iron Man series. 
Spiderman : Homecoming is scheduled to be released on July 7, 2017

2. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2

Star Lord, Gamora, Drax The Destroyer, Rocket Racoon are back as the Guardians Of the Galaxy with the cute baby Groot. This movie will take the Guardians across the cosmos filled with crazy adventures and Peter Quill/Star Lord will learn more about his father - Ego The Living Planet.
Hilarious, fun and action packed,  Director James Gunn is sure to take us on another joy ride like the last installment. Yondu and Nebula will join the Guardians team and we will be introduced to new characters like Mantis - a new member of the Guardians who was raised by Ego, Ayesha - the golden High Priestess, Taserface - the leader of the mutinous group of Ravagers and one of the antagonist in this movie. Reprising thier roles from the previous movie are Chris Pratt as Star Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax, Vin Diesel voicing Groot, Bradley Cooper voicing Rocket, Michael Rooker as Yondu, Karen Gillan as Nebula and Glenn Close as Irani Rael, the Supreme Commander of the Nova Corps. And the icing on the cake is the two new addition to MCU - Kurt Russel as Ego The Living Planet, Star Lord's father and Sylvester Stallone as a part of the Nova Corps. Thanos is possibly going to sit out of this movie, but there is enough to be super excited. Probably baby Groot is going to steal the movie.  
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is scheduled to be released on May 5, 2017

1. Star Wars Episode VIII - The Last Jedi

Star Wars Episode VIII - The Last Jedi is the second installment in the latest Sequel Trilogy, following the events of Star Wars Episode VII - The Force Awakens which released in December, 2015. The story would revolve around the cursed Skywalker family with Rey in the forefront. It is up to speculation who is mentioned to here as The Last Jedi, whether it is Rey or Luke Skywalker, who returned in the end of The Force Awakens. There is mystery surrounding Rey herself, how she is so much into the Force and whether she is a descendant of the Skywalker family or maybe from the Obi Wan bloodline.  Kylo Ren/Ben Solo has killed his father Han Solo but would he have a showdown with his Uncle Luke or his Mother General Leia Organa? What would be the next move for Supreme Commander Snoke and how would the Resistance counter? Written and Directed by Ryan Johnson, and reprising their roles are Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Carry Fisher as General Leia Organa, Adam Driver as Kylo Ren, Daisy Ridley as Rey, Oscar Issac as Poe Damion. New additions are Laura Dern and Benicio Del Toro in yet unnamed characters. 2016 marked the sad passing of Carry Fisher, having completed her work for the movie. Under the tutelage of Disney and Lucas Films, it is a safe bet to say this Star Wars movie would be the biggest blockbuster of the year. Star Wars Episode VIII - The Last Jedi is set to release on December 15, 2017.
