25 Movies Coming Out in 2022 to Get Excited About

In theaters September 2022

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Watching this movie will be emotional, as it won’t include Chadwick Boseman, who died from colon cancer in August 2020. But I’m confident Ryan Coogler and the rest of the Black Panther cast will honor his legacy beautifully. 

“Chadwick Boseman was an immensely talented actor and an inspirational individual who affected all of our lives professionally and personally,” Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige said. “His portrayal of T’Challa the Black Panther is iconic and transcends any iteration of the character in any other medium from Marvel’s past. And it’s for that reason that we will not recast the character. However, to honor the legacy that Chad helped us build through his portrayal of the king of Wakanda, we want to continue to explore the world and all the rich and varied characters introduced in the first film.”

Release reportedly set for 2022

Don’t Worry Darling

Florence Pugh plays a 1950s housewife married to Harry Styles in this psychological thriller costarring Chris Pine, Olivia Wilde, and Gemma Chan. This will, hands down, be one of the buzziest new movies 2022 gives us. 

Release reportedly set for 2022
