With 2022 right around the corner, Fandango has revealed its list of most anticipated movies for next year. Polling more than 6000 ticket buying moviegoers, the top 10 makes for interesting reading and is topped by Marvel Studios' Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Unsurprisingly, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is next, while The Batman and Thor: Love and Thunder follow. Then, there's Jurassic World: Dominion (which marks Colin Trevorrow's return to the franchise), Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Avatar 2, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Top Gun: Maverick and Mission: Impossible 7.
Arguably more interesting than what is listed here is what didn't make the cut. Despite being headlined by Dwayne Johnson, Black Adam is M.I.A., as is Sony's Marvel Comics movie Morbius starring Jared Leto.
"Audiences are looking for unforgettable experiences at the theater and 2022 promises to deliver a bounty of exciting new movies that you must see on the big screen," says Fandango managing editor Erik Davis. "From some of the biggest returning characters like Spider-Man, Batman, Catwoman and Doctor Strange, to memorable franchises like Black Panther, Top Gun, Mission: Impossible and Jurassic World, the new year is packed with thrills, chills and adventure around every corner."
Assuming another COVID surge doesn't put a spoke in the wheel, 2022 is going to be an incredibly busy year for movies, and it's no great surprise that superheroes are dominating this top 10 list.
What are you most excited to watch next year?
