The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (June 4) 

James Wan returns to direct Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga in the third installment of Warner's enormously lucrative horror series. The Devil Made Me Do It weaves supernatural thriller and courtroom drama.

In the Heights (June 18)

Crazy Rich Asians helmer Jon M. Chu brings Lin-Manuel Miranda's hit musical—about a bodega owner with big dreams—to life on the big and small screens.

James Gunn presents the 10th DCEU movie, a soft reboot and standalone sequel to the critically-panned but financially successful Suicide Squad.

The Many Saints of Newark (Sept. 24) 

A prequel film to HBO's flagship series The Sopranos is set against the Newark race riots, and features younger versions of iconic characters from the series. It stars Alessandro Nivola, Leslie Odom Jr., Jon Bernthal, Corey Stoll and Michael Gandolfini.

Dune (Oct. 1)

Denis Villeneuve‘s big-screen take on one of the most popular sci-fi novels of all time (infamously adapted in a critically-maligned ’80s movie from David Lynch) stars Timothée Chalamet and Emmy winner Zendaya. Villeneuve has a singular gift for big-screen spectacle, so it will be interesting to see how this fares on HBO Max.

King Richard (Nov. 19) 

WillSmith, JonBernthal and Dylan McDermott star in a drama about the life of Richard Williams, father of tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams. Sounds like a well-timed Thanksgiving movie about family.

The Matrix 4 (Dec. 22) 

Pushed back several months from its originally scheduled spring 2021 launch, the fourth installment of the iconic sci-fi franchise sees Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss return to the action-packed alternate reality first introduced to audiences in 1999’s The Matrix.

Mortal Kombat (Release date TBA) 

The historic video-game franchise will be rebooted. Here's hoping it's better than the 1995 film of the same name—and the mostly unwatchable, fleetingly unintentionally hilarious Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.

Malignant (Release date TBA)

There's a tight lid on plot details of James Wan's horror film, written by Akela Cooper from an original story co-developed with Wan. What we do have is the official, fittingly horrific rating: It's rated R for "strong horror violence, gruesome images, and for language." Annabelle Wallis stars.

Those Who Wish Me Dead (Release date TBA) 

Acclaimed Hell or High Water and Wind River helmer Taylor Sheridan directs and cowrites this neo-Western action pic centered on a murder witness pursued against the backdrop of a raging forest fire. Based on Michael Koryta's novel of the same name, it stars Angelina Jolie, Nicholas Hoult, Tyler Perry, Jon Bernthal and Aidan Gillen.

Cry Macho (Release date TBA)

Clint Eastwood (who turns 91 in May) directs and stars in a neo-Western drama road movie, playing a washed-up rodeo star tasked with mentoring a young boy, and delivering him from an alcoholic mother. It's based on the 1975 novel by N. Richard Nash.
