Movies to look forward to in 2022

2022 looks like a good year for movies. At least it could be a blockbuster year. We have three MCU movies: Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, and hopefully, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. (There have been filming delays, so who knows?)

I see the potential for three movies this year to break all-time box office records. In October we get the new Spider-Man animation, which could break records, then in November Wakanda Forever and then in December Avatar 2. 

And besides these tent-pole movies, there are bound to be a handful of unexpectedly good movies that no one’s heard about.

    I love the comments. I copied and pasted each and every movie into my calendar. It would be great if you added a link tin each movie o include in calendar.

  2. That’s not a bad idea, but it sounds like tedious work. 🙂 I have enough of that already.
