New Movies Coming Out this Year
By: Callen C Robertson
In 2024 there are several movies coming out this year, some of which have already happened, some of which are coming later on. These include Deadpool and Wolverine, Despicable me 4, Garfield, Inside out 2 and Sonic 3.
Some of 2024’s big movies have already come out, such as Dune part 2, Godzilla X Kong the New Empire, Ghostbusters Frozen Empire, and Kung Fu Panda 4.
The next major movie to come out is, The Garfield Movie. It stars Chris Pratt as Garfield, as well as Samuel L Jackson and Snoop Dogg. It has a run time of 1 hour and 41 minutes. The movie is directed by Mark Dindal, and written by David Reynolds. It will air in theaters on May 24th 2024. Of the students we surveyed, 50% said they were excited, and 50% said they were not. Ty Wadsworth, an EJHS 6th grader says, “I didn’t know they were going to make this movie, but now that I know about it I am super excited.
After that on July 3rd we will get Despicable me 4. From the trailer we know that Gru and Lucy had a child, Gru Jr. The villain of this movie will be Maxime Le Mal, played by Will Ferrell. This movie got the most hate on the poll with only 40% saying they were excited for this movie, and 60% saying they weren't. Steve Carell will reprise his role as Gru once again. Chris Renaud is the Director and Mike White and Ken Daurio wrote the movie. The movie lasts 1 hour and 23 minutes.
Then about a week and a half later, Inside Out 2 will premiere. It stars Amy Pohler as Joy, Tony Hale as Fear, Phyliss Smith as Sadness, Lewis Black as Anger, and Maya Hawke as Anxiety. In the trailer we see new emoticons kick out the old ones and the old ones try to get back. The film is DIrected by Kelsey Mann and is Written by Meg LaFauve. This movie was also split 50-50 in the poll.
The third and Final movie in July will be Deadpool and Wolverine. It will be released on July 26th. Ryan Reynolds will Reprise his role as Deadpool once again, and Hugh Jackman will be playing the Wolverine. This film's villain, Cassandra Nova, will be played by Emma Corrin. There have also been some reports of Taylor Swift having a role in this movie. The movie will follow Deadpool on a quest to find a superior Wolverine variant across the multiverse. When he finds the best one, they will fight at first, but eventually team up to fight a common enemy. Many Marvel insiders have stated that the post credit scene will be epic, but have not said anything more than that. A common theory is that it will show Deadpool gathering other heroes across the multiverse. Since this is the only Marvel Cinematic Universe movie this year, many fans are hoping that it will be good. The movie is directed by Shawn Levy and written by several different writers, among them are Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux. 60% of the students we surveyed said they were excited for this film.
One of the final movies releasing in 2024(if not the final movie) is Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Jim Carry (who had previously retired from acting) is coming out of retirement for this movie. Ben Schwartz is still our Sonic the Hedgehog, and Idris Elba is still Knuckles. Tails is Still played by the same actor as well. Keanu Reeves has been added to the cast as Shadow the Hedgehog. The movie has just finished shooting, so it is currently going through post production. The movie will show Dr Robotnik/Eggman continuing his search for the master emerald. Shadow may have an ark similar to Knuckles in Sonic 2. In Sonic 2 Knuckles started off as an ally of Dr Robotnik/Eggman, and then fought against him in the final battle. It seems that Shadow will have the same ark, but instead of joining sonic in the end, he will go off on his own and become an Anti-Hero. The movie could also introduce Rouge the Bat, Amy Rose the Hedgehog, Silver the Hedgehog, Metal Sonic, and the Chaotix. As of right now, no official trailer has been released for this film. The movie is Directed by Jeff Fowler and written by Patrick Casey, Josh Miller, and John Wittington. 60% of the students that were surveyed said that they were excited for this movie. Tae Robertson, an EJHS 6th Grader says, “I think that the previous Sonic movies were great, and it will be nice to have another one.” The film is expected to release on December 20th.
Another movie that was just released is Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. It is the 4th installment in the new Planet of the Apes franchise. It stars Kevin Durand and Owen Teague.
In conclusion, 2024 will have many important movies coming out and these are just some of them. I didn’t even talk about the Moana sequel, and the Movie about Mufasa’s backstory before the events of The Lion King. Now that is partially because we know nothing about these 2 movies. With all of those movies coming out plus some other major movies that have already come out 2024 will be a good year for movie fans.
