The new year is coming.
On New Year's Day, Uncle Yu shared it with everyone.
At the beginning of 2024, as usual, we will first take stock of this year's highly anticipated blockbusters.
With last year's Hollywood writers' and actors' strike coming to an end, many blockbusters are gradually on track.
Interestingly, this year Marvel officially entered a period of adjustment.
There is almost no scene where a large number of superhero movies dominate the screen in previous years.
At the same time, more diverse and rich themes have become people's new focus.
Today, let's go with you to find out how many new overseas films there will be in 2024.
At the same time, let's see which ones can be hopefully introduced.
Dune 2
Director: Denis Villeneuve
Starring: Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Florence Pugh
Release date: 2024-03-01 (United States) / 03-08 (Chinese mainland)
After 2 years of waiting, this sci-fi epic sequel is finally here.
When the first part was released, it brought us an immersive and shocking viewing experience.
Top industrial design, ultimate audio-visual aesthetics, pure classical narrative......
Unlike other blockbusters, which rely too much on dazzling special effects and frequent switching of fast shots.
Director Villeneuve uses his own unique "slow" style to present the solemnity and solemnity of the original work.
From photography to graphic design, every detail is exquisite.
This is very special in today's increasingly impetuous commercial blockbuster production trend.
In the second part, not only the visual effects have been upgraded, but the star lineup has also become larger.
New characters including Léa Seydoux and Florence Pugh will all appear.
The mainland has been finalized, a week later than North America.
Although it is a pity that it was not synchronized, it is enough to be able to watch it on the big screen.
Mad Max: Berserk
Director: George Miller
Starring: Anya Taylor-Joy / Chris Hemsworth / Alila Brown
Release date: 2024-05-24 (United States)
After 9 years, that familiar post-apocalyptic wasteland is finally back.
Still directed by George Miller.
依然是漫天黄沙，野蛮酷炫。
There are also fire-breathing instruments, heavy metal chariots.
Sure enough, it's still a familiar taste.
In addition to George Miller, another major attraction of the movie is the cast.
Anya Taylor-Joy, who became a hit with "Abandoned Soldiers on the Rear Wing", became the protagonist.
She is going to play a younger version of the character of Charlize Theron from the previous game.
dedicated to the "disfigurement" performance, which has begun to take on the temperament of a later king.
The top is "Mad Max 4: Fury Road", and the bottom is "Mad Max: Fury Goddess"
The actor became "Brother Hammer" Chris Hemsworth.
The image of a crazy warlord with a dirty and a big beard.
Just watching that trailer made me so excited.
From the main creative team to the painting style and temperament, there is no reason to refuse at all.
Hurry up, I'd like to see another crazy chariot playing an electric guitar.
"Little Ox 2"
Director: Todd Phillips
Starring: Joaquin Phoenix / Lady Gaga / Brendan Gleeson
Release date: 2024-10-04 (United States)
+1 on the annual must-see list.
This time, Joaquín's clown no longer dances solo on the stairs.
而是多了个伴—哈莉奎茵 (Lady Gaga 饰) 。
Two madmen do things together.
It's exciting to think about.
What's even more interesting is that "Joker 2" is still a musical and dance film.
It can't help but make people wonder how the two clowns integrate with "song and dance".
Too curious, too eager to see!
Godzilla vs. Kong 2: Rise of Empires
Director: Adam Wingard
Starring: Rebecca Hall, Dan Stevens, Rachel House
Release date: 2024-04-12 (United States)
I have to say that this IP understands the audience very well.
In 2021, Godzilla and King Kong fought.
It's cool enough to watch, it's exciting enough.
With the first, there will be a second.
The friendship between the two brothers is also heating up again.
Brother always has a new skin.
Successfully joined the "Barbie Universe".
King Kong has an artifact.
The new gloves look very emotional.
Also known as "You Chase Me and Run"
The villain also becomes a gorilla whose identity is a mystery.
If nothing else, both sides must fight.
What, you ask the plot?
It's all made the monsters fight, who cares about the plot.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes 4: New World
Director: Wes Ball
Starring:Owen Tiger / Kevin Duran / William H. Messi
Release date: 2024-05-24 (United States)
This film is a continuation of the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" trilogy.
300 years after Caesar's death, his son would establish his own kingdom.
And this may also be the beginning of a new trilogy.
I was very impressed by the original "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".
Orangutans rule the planet, and humans are dying.
The film not only brings the shock of visual effects, but also becomes a science fiction fable that alludes to reality.
It's a pity that the previous trilogy ended up going down the old path of the race wars.
Compared with the original version of the thinking about the cycle of fate, it is much worse.
Therefore, I also hope that the new trilogy will tell new ideas.
After all, it is difficult for today's audiences to have the sense of amazement that they were originally made by realistic special effects.
What everyone needs more is more interesting stories.
Mickey 17
Director: Bong Joon-ho
Starring: Robert Pattinson, Steven Yuan, Toni Collette
Release date: 2024-03-29 (United States)
This movie, I waited too long.
The story, adapted from the novel of the same name, is similar to "The Martian" + "Dark Matter".
The cast is even more eye-catching.
Robert Pattinson, Steven Yuan, Mark Ruffalo and many more.
And the director is the most expected.
Bong Joon-ho, who hasn't been seen for a long time, is finally coming back.
It is worth mentioning that this is Bong Joon-ho's second return to Hollywood to make a movie after "Okja" in 2017.
Last time, because of the theme, style, core, etc., I was unaccustomed to the situation.
I hope that this return to Hollywood will bring us a surprise.
Argyle: Secret Agent
Director: Matthew Vaughn
Starring: Henry Cavill / Bryce Dallas Howard / Sam Rockwell / Brian Cranston
Release date: 2024-02-02 (United States) / 02-23 (Chinese mainland)
This is probably one of the most interesting spy blockbusters of the year.
The heroine was originally writing a spy war novel, but she didn't expect the plot she wrote to be completely consistent with reality.
As a result, the heroine became a key prophet and became the object of contention between various organizations.
This kind of anti-genre entertainment film with a subversive and playful sense can be regarded as director Matthew Vaughn's forte.
The previous filming of "King Haibian" and "Ace Agent" are all successful masterpieces.
The cast, of course, is still shining.
Henry Cavill said goodbye to Superman and The Witcher and once again came to play a top agent.
But the styling is a little messy.
The heroine is played by Bryce Dallas Howard of "Jurassic World".
In addition, there are powerful actors Sam Rockwell, "Breaking Bad" "Old White" Brian Cranston, John Cena, Dua Lipa, etc.
Oh, and there's a show-stealing cat.
The film has been finalized in the mainland, but what is not very satisfying is that it is 20 days later than the overseas release date.
No way, the Spring Festival stalls are inviolable.
I can only wait for the festival and go to the theater.
Challenger
Director: Luca Guadagnino
Starring: Zendaya / Josh O'Connor / Mike Feist
Release date: 2024-04-26 (United States)
Luca Guadagnino, director of "Call Me by Your Name", went out again to shoot forbidden love.
A mix and match theme of tennis competition + threesome love.
Starring Zendaya, he hung two handsome little guys fiercely.
In the end, it can become another group ridicule of "Burning Winter", or can it be compared to the masterpiece "Dream of Paris".
In any case, the large-scale scale of throwing off several black holes in domestic films is also worth watching.
"Blood and Love"
Director: Ross Glass
Starring:Kristen Stewart / Katie S. M. O'Brien / Ed Harris
Release date: 2024-03-08 (United States)
Just looking at the title and poster, it is already full of blood.
A crime queen starring Kristen Stewart.
Interestingly, the hostess is set as a bodybuilder.
From the appearance, there is a very high aesthetic guarantee.
Plus violent dramas such as criminal revenge.
This is definitely a very special women's film this year.
Mind Squad 2
Director: Kelsey Mann
Starring: Amy Poehler, Caitlin Dias, Maya Hawke
Release date: 2024-06-14 (United States)
After nine years, the second part is here.
As the little girl grows up, the emotions in her "inner world" increase.
Except for the old joys, sorrows, anger, fears, and weariness.
This time, emotions such as anxiety, embarrassment, boredom, and jealousy have been added.
Although only Jiao Jiao appeared in the trailer, it was enough to fill everyone's expectations.
There is the first part that has been praised as a "masterpiece" in front, and the sequel is undoubtedly under pressure.
Frankly speaking, Uncle Yu just wants to play steadily, and it is enough for us to re-appreciate the magic of Pixar.
Zootopia 2
Director: Byron Howard
Starring: Jennifer Goodwin / Jason Bateman
Release date: 2024-11-17 (United States)
Another face of Disney.
The super popularity and good reputation of the previous work have made the sequel highly anticipated.
After all, who can say no to the lifelike Zootopia and its adorable inhabitants.
If nothing else, "Zootopia 2" will be Disney's finale this year.
Despicable Me 4
导演：克里斯·雷纳德 / Patrick Delage
Starring: Steve Carell / Kristen Wiig / Pierre Coffen
Release date: 2024-07-03 (United States)
After waiting for a full 7 years, I finally waited for the sequel.
Gru, who wants to be a big villain, wants to take his minions on a new adventure.
These alone are enough to be the biggest reason to look forward to this series.
After all, who doesn't love a cheap and cute Minion.
Garfield
Director: Mark Tindale
Starring: Chris Pratt / Samuel L. Jackson / Hannah Waldingham
Release date: 2024-05-24 (United States)
Garfield, too, has finally launched a big movie.
It's the only one who dares to compare cuteness with a group of minions above.
The voice is also voiced by the lowly "Star-Lord" Chris Pratt.
Viewers who watched cartoons when they were children should know its character.
Don't be fooled by its appearance!
One second before——
The next second –
After reading the trailer, do you want to go to the theater to give a meow?
Kung Fu Panda 4
Director: Mike Mitchell / Stephanie Sting
Starring: Jack Black / Awkwafina / Kwan Jiwei
Release date: 2024-03-08 (United States)
Another animated IP sequel to "Ye Qing Hui".
At the end of the third part, Po has become a near-invincible existence.
So I can't help but wonder how the fourth part can be filmed.
As a result, the strongest villain, the Phantom Demon Queen, came.
Her ability is to be able to transform into the appearance of every past villain.
Even, including Po himself.
Since its release in 2008, Kung Fu Panda has been quite popular.
Some people joke that it is "the skin of the West, the heart of the East".
Although it is a Hollywood movie, I have to admit that the presentation of Chinese elements by this IP is surprising.
What's more, the protagonist is still a giant panda, which is even more boring.
And this return will also open a new chapter for Bao.
In this regard, Uncle Yu just wants to say:
Hurry up!
Paddington Bear 3
Director: Dougal Wilson
Starring: Ben Wershaw / Hugh Bonneville / Emily Mortimer
Release date: 2024-11-08 (UK)
Another 7 years.
Finally waited for the cutest bear.
This time, Paddington Bear is back in his native Peru.
In my opinion, the most irresistible thing about this series is not only the kind and cute Paddington bear.
There are also family fairy tales in movies that make people cry and laugh.
Who wouldn't want to plunge headlong into that warm, furry embrace?
The Lion King Prequel: Mufasa
Director: Barry Jenkins
Starring: Aaron Pierre / Kevin Harrison Jr. / Seth Rogan
Release date: 2024-12-20 (United States)
Following the 2019 "Real Lion Version" "The Lion King", the second "Real Lion Version" is here.
However, the protagonist becomes Simba's father, Mufasa.
After watching the previous "The Lion King", you naturally don't have to worry about the fake effect.
The only thing that makes me curious is the plot.
After all, I can't think of a story that Mufasa can tell.
The Lion King 2019
Death Samurai 3
Director: Sean Levy
Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Colin
Release date: 2024-07-26 (United States)
The bad news: there is only one Marvel movie this year.
Good news: it's Deadpool 3.
And there is also the "cheap" Deadpool and the "Uncle Wolf" century in the same frame.
The gold content of this combination is more important than anything for fans.
It has long been an indisputable fact that Marvel has been alive and well after "Avengers 4".
Under all kinds of internal and external troubles, there is only one MCU movie left this year, which seems to be a sudden brake.
There is no doubt that "Deadpool 3" may be the key to saving Marvel.
Uncle Yu hopes that Marvel can take this opportunity to re-guarantee the quality of the movie and save the reputation.
After all, quality is far more important than quantity.
"Lady Spider: Wake Up"
Director: S· J. Clarkson
Starring: Dakota Johnson, Sidney Sweeney, Celeste O'Connor
Release date: 2024-02-14 (United States)
The new Spider-Man movie is here.
But.
Not Spider-Man.
The protagonist becomes four spider-girls with special abilities and teams up to fight the enemy.
If you only look at the actors, the protagonist Damei is quite interesting.
But in other aspects, it is worrying.
The trailer is incomprehensible, revealing a sense of cheapness.
Will it be the dark horse of the year?
"Ballerina Killer"
Director: Len Wiseman
Starring: Ana de Armas, Keanu Reeves, Lance Reddick
Release date: 2024-06-07 (United States)
As a spin-off movie of "Fast and Furious", I have also waited for a long time.
John Wick relinquishes the title of protagonist to Ana de Armas, a female killer.
At the same time, you will see many familiar faces from "Fast and Furious" again.
Uncle Yu hopes that this movie can continue the advantages of "Fast Pursuit".
While killing to the end, we continue to expand our worldview.
In this way, it is also a joy to be able to continue to watch this series grow bigger and stronger.
This character appeared in "Fast and Furious 3", and it was not played by Ana de Armas at the time
"Kakutoshi 2"
Director: Ridley Scott
Starring: Paul Mescal / Pedro Pascal / Denzel Washington
Release date: 2024-11-22 (United States)
Ridley Scott, a well-known model worker, is back.
After 24 years, I finally came up with a sequel.
However, until today, the only information revealed in "Gladiator 2" is that the story line in the film will take place twenty or thirty years after the previous work.
In addition, it is not even known which roles the actors will play.
But to be honest, Lei Gong's name alone is enough to be the only reason to look forward to this film with peace of mind.
Group photo of the main creators
Horizon
Director: Kevin Costner
Starring: Kevin Costner / Sienna Miller / Gina Malone
Release date: 2024-06-28 (United States)
Another veteran superstar is back in the world.
Kevin Costner, the star of the high-scoring drama "Yellowstone", is a heavy director, and writes, directs and acts in the new western epic "Horizon".
The film is on a grand scale and will be released in two parts.
It is said that for this movie, the old tough guys don't play "Yellowstone" anymore.
It seems that he is riveting enough to make a huge hit in his later years.
Kostner's early years were a successful example of acting and directing.
once swept seven Oscars including Best Picture with "Dances with Wolves".
In the past ten years, he has basically stopped directing movies.
But the starring American drama "Yellowstone" has still become a masterpiece in the hearts of countless people.
Now that he is almost 70 years old, can he bring new surprises?
Let's wait and see.
Civil War
Director: Alex Garland
Starring: Kirsten Dunst / Wagner Mara / Stephen Henderson
Release date: 2024-04-26 (United States)
When it comes to "daring to shoot", it has to be Hollywood itself.
In the future, the United States will once again fall into civil war.
What's more sci-fi is that Texas and California are in the same camp.
You must know that the relationship between these two states in reality is incompatible.
It's a bit outrageous, but it's also bold.
This kind of theme that the people like to see, Uncle Yu will naturally not miss it.
Stunt Maniac
Director: David Leitch
Starring: Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt, Winston Duke
Release date: 2024-05-03 (United States)
When I saw the configuration, I directly "double kitchen ecstasy".
Director, David Leitch.
A genius director who makes action movies.
Like "Bullet Train" and "Fast Chase", etc., they are all action entertainment movies.
Starring, the male god "High Commander" Ryan Gosling and the goddess Emily Blunt.
Stage a scene where a stuntman falls in love with a female star.
Embark on a dramatic adventure.
Having such a lineup undoubtedly puts a lock on the quality.
Light comedy base, heavy special effects.
Cool, that's it.
Ghostbusters: The Frozen City
Director: Jill Crane
Starring: Paul Rudd, Mckenna Grace, Finn Woodard
Release date: 2024-03-29 (United States)
The old IP is back.
This time, it snowed in New York in July, and the new and old Ghostbusters teamed up to save the world.
For fans, the new work itself is exciting.
Alien: Romulus
Director: Fede Alvarez
Starring: Isabella Mosed, Carly Spani, Archie Reno
Release date: 2024-08-16 (United States)
I didn't wait for the sequel to "Prometheus" that I had been waiting for for many years, but I waited for the new work of "Alien".
Although it was not directed by Ridley Scott himself, the film was approved by him.
Director Fed Alvarez once shared his experience of showing the finished film to Lao Lei.
According to what he said, Mr. Lei gave high recognition.
Although not much material has been announced, such news has undoubtedly given us a shot in the arm.
Just wait.
Borderlands
Director: Eli Rose / Tim Miller
Starring: Cate Blanchett / Kevin Hart / Jamie Lee Curtis
Release date: 2024-08-09 (United States)
Another popular game adaptation.
The main creative team is also very eye-catching.
One of the directors is Tim Miller ("Deadpool").
The cast has old acquaintances such as "Big Devil" Cate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Kevin Hart.
Needless to say, the expectation value is directly full.
Venom 3
Director: Kelly Marcel
Starring: Tom Hardy, Juno Temple, Chiwett Ejif
Release date: 2024-11-08 (United States)
At the end of Venom 2, Venom travels to Spider-Man's universe.
Then the focus of the third part must be "Venom VS Spider-Man".
This gimmick alone is enough to attract a large wave of people.
The rest just hopes that the plot doesn't mess around like the second part.
"Making Something Out of Nothing"
Director: John Krasinski
Starring: Ryan Reynolds, John Krasinski, Gloria Fleming, Steve Carell
Release date: 2024-05-17 (United States)
The fantasy new work of the talented director John Krasinski, who became popular with "A Quiet Place".
It tells the fantasy characters in the children's minds and begins to walk into the real world.
Watching the trailer should be a warm blockbuster full of brains and innocence.
The cast is quite luxurious.
"Deadpool" Ryan Reynolds starring.
There are also Steve Carell, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon and many other stars participated.
I hope it can bring us a relaxing and enjoyable healing journey.
"Danger 2"
Director: Parker Finn
Starring: Naomi Scott
Release date: 2024-10-18 (United States)
The predecessor was a dark horse in 2021.
It won 217 million at the global box office at a cost of $17 million, making it one of the most profitable films of the year.
The success of "Dangerous Laughter" largely depends on its own horror setting.
The smiling face became a precursor to terror.
It's new, and it's scary enough.
There is a box office hit of the previous work, and the sequel is naturally a certainty.
However, Uncle Yu also has some concerns about the sequel.
I don't know if the same setting can still scare people.
A Quiet Place: Invasion Day
Director: Michael Sanoski
Starring: Lupita Nyong'o, Dennis O'Hara, Alex Wolfe
Release date: 2024-06-28 (United States)
This film will be a prequel to A Quiet Place.
It is about the origin of the monster invasion.
But however, neither John Krasinski, nor Emily Blunt, the director and star of the first two films, will star.
A Quiet Place
Obviously, the absence of the original team has had a big impact.
On the one hand, it will undoubtedly weaken the audience's interest in the third part.
On the other hand, it's more of a necessity to make the IP last longer.
If you want to expand your worldview and tell more stories, you can't just go into the adventures of a single family.
In this way, the performance of the third part may directly affect the future of this IP.
Do you stop there, or go further?
We'll just have to wait and see.
The above is the Hollywood blockbuster worth looking forward to in 2024 that Uncle Yu sorted out for everyone.
Among them, there are many new films, all of which are likely to be introduced.
The gathering of domestic films and overseas blockbusters is the best result for the audience.
In the new year, Uncle Yu will continue to watch more good movies with everyone.
We're not going to see you anymore.
