It’s official: 2022 is the year of the sequel. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is about to drop and Top Gun: Maverick was a monster hit, thanks to the pandemic crunching a pileup of Blockbusters into one bonanza year at the box office (apart from the flicks delayed yet again until 2023).
These are the latest dates for your calendar as we celebrate the big films (and hopefully a few smaller ones) hitting the big screen and streaming services in 2022 and beyond.
Black Adam, Thor: Love and Thunder and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness are among the superhero flicks to hit the big screen. Older franchises bring us Jurassic World: Dominion and Avatar 2: The Way of Water. Luckily, there are original flicks as well, including Jordan Peel’s Nope, Everything Everywhere All at Once and David O. Russell’s Amsterdam, which has an unbelievable cast of massive stars.
But delays are still happening: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the Mario movie, Aquaman 2, Madame Web and The Flash are all postponed. Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible 7 and 8 have been pushed back multiple times, while delays to Blade have reshuffled phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
It’s been tough to keep up with all the changes. But we’ve got you covered on the latest US release dates for 2022. If these dates are still in flux, we’ll let you know about the latest changes as new dates are announced. And don’t forget to check out our guide to 2022’s TV shows.
