New Movies Coming Out in 2022: Biggest New Films Including Marvel, DC, Netflix

[ad_1]

It’s official: 2022 is the year of the sequel. Movie theaters have been dominated by franchise films for years, but the pandemic has crunched the past couple of years’ worth of blockbusters into one bonanza year at the box office (apart from the ones that are delayed 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 Panther, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness are among the superhero flicks hitting the big screen later this year. There are also new movies from franchises like Jurassic Park and Avatar. Luckily, original flicks will arrive as well, including Jordan Peel’s Nope and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon.

But delays are still happening: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the Mario movie, The Rock’s Black Adam, Aquaman 2, and The Flash are all postponed, while Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible 7 and 8 have been pushed back multiple times.

It’s been tough to keep up with all the changes to the movie schedule during the pandemic, from the everything-gets-canceled start through the delta variant and then the omicron surge. But we’ve got you covered on the latest US theatrical and streaming movie 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.
