Fast X

Fast and Furious fans have been there through the long haul since 2001, and after 22 years, the franchise has finally come to an end. From smuggling DVDs to flying magnetic cars off of cliffs, Dominic Toretto, played by Vin Diesel, and the Fast Family have been through it all. On May 19th, the Toretto crew will have its last hurrah. According to FastXMovie, the plot follows Toretto and his family whose past crimes in Rio during Fast Five come back to haunt them. The film introduces Jason Momoa as Dante Reyes, the son of the former leader of the drug cartel, who has “spent the last 12 years masterminding a plan to make Dom pay the ultimate price.”  

Barbie

There have been many speculations as to the plot of the upcoming movie, Barbie, which stars familiar faces like Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and Will Ferrell. The producers have been quiet about the plot of the movie, but Vulture quotes a previous article by Deadline, who claimed the movie originally followed Barbie, who “gets kicked out of Barbieland because she’s not perfect enough, a bit eccentric and doesn’t fit in.” Barbie then goes out into the world and faces reality as she redefines her definition of perfect. Although Vulture claims they may possibly still follow that plotline, they also mention “a specific knowledge of Barbie’s real-world impact.” The movie will come out on July 21st.

Oppenheimer

Director Christopher Nolan will release his 12th film, Oppenheimer, on July 21st. It breaks down a biography, American Prometheus, written by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin about the American scientist, Robert Oppenheimer. According to People, Oppenheimer “famously led the Manhattan Project — the effort to create an atomic bomb during World War II.” The released trailer for the film shows Oppenheimer, played by Peaky Blinder’s Cillian Murphy, who said, "They won't fear it until they understand it. And they won't understand it until they've used it…Theory will only take you so far. I don't know if we can be trusted with such a weapon. But we have no choice." The movie also stars Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., and Matt Damon.
