It looks like blockbuster movies are all set to get back into the summertime groove, very soon. The season kicks off with A Quiet Place Part II, at the end of May and it seems like another blockbuster follows every few weeks. To say nothing of FOUR MCU movies before the year is out. (They have some catching up to do!)

Without further adieu, here’s a list of the prominent movies scheduled to be released. Let me know in the comments if there’s something you think I missed. I didn’t try to list every movie, just the noteworthy ones.

Got this back when I was pregnant, but I’ll be keeping it forever, it’s just so handy. I don’t go to the movie theater that often (even back before quarantine when you actually could…) but I make sure the app and the movie list are all current and updated, cause it’s so handy! It’s great for running late cause you can read their summary, obviously awesome for bathroom or snack breaks mid movie, and I also love that it tells you if there’s anything after the credits which is very handy.
