Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

November 11, 2022

Although Chadwick Boseman, the star of the Black Panther series, passed away in August of 2020, Marvel recently announced this sequel to the first Black Panther movie. “It’s going to top [the first] one,” claimed Angela Bassett, who plays Ramonda, Queen Mother of Wakanda.

The Marvels is another sequel to a highly popular release, Captain Marvel.

This movie will also include South Korean actor Park Seo Jun, who has starred in dramas such as What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim and Itaewon Class.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

May 5, 2023

Possibly the most exciting movie out of everything on this list, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is finally releasing in early May of next year. Both the first and second releases of this subseries have been hits, so much so that certain fans will only watch the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. Accompanying this movie should be another incredible soundtrack, along with hilarious quips by Chris Pratt as Peter Quill. Personally, this movie is the most exciting to me, as I loved the two previous GOTG movies and the surplus of comedy found in them.
