Fall 2019 movie previews

By Staff | Sep 25, 2019

Brace yourself superhero fans and space franchise aficionados, your cinematic horizons are lean, that is unless you’re privy to exploring expanded universes and newly introduced characters.

After “The Joker” stars Joaquin Phoenix in a captivating look at the super-villain’s dissent from failed comedian into madness. Don’t expect roman numerals as this kicks off a series of “one shot” DC Universe stories.

“The Rise of Skywalker” blasts off Dec. 20 as the conclusion of the current trilogy. The series will continue but it’s going to be a few years. 2022 brings the next one with another in 2024 and one in 2026. Looks like Disney may have learned a “lesson” from over-saturating the franchise.

2020 will bring Harley Quinn leading her own “Birds of Prey” film in February. April has an expanded Marvel universe “The New Mutants” and a an untitled DC Universe picture then May 1 is reserved for “The Black Widow.” Summer has one of the sequels watched for since the original spurred eager fans i.e. Wonder Woman 1984.

Announcements other than “untitled event movies,” include sequels to “A Quiet Place, “The Purge,” “Kong,” “Escape Room” and (naturally) Blumhouse horror surprises.
