10 Big 2020 Movies You Should Be Worried About
2020 has some great movies lined up, but it won’t be plain sailing for all of them.
As 2019 draws to a close, all attention turns to... well, Christmas and New Year’s Eve, but after that, 2020. There’s a huge slate of movies to come next year, kicking off a new decade. Loads of them are set to be absolutely brilliant, but there’s a few of the big guns which might just give you pause.
That’s not to say these movies will be terrible. Many here could still be great, but there’s just something about them which might be worth worrying about. Whether it’s details in the plot, the promos, the casting or the timing of the release, these ten might make even the biggest fans nervous.
Hopefully, all this worrying will be for nought. These movies could ride out any storms, turn coal into diamonds and become a runaway success. Tempering expectations can be a big factor in movie enjoyment though, so it’s worth noting the potential pitfalls of this lot before 2020 gets underway.
Whether these are dealbreakers are just serve to dull the hype train ever so slightly, there’s definitely cause to be worried about this ten.
10. Black Widow
The MCU has been thundering forward for over a decade now, and while there have been some missteps (The Dark World), nothing has derailed it. There’s also been the likes of Ant-Man And The Wasp, which have netted slightly lower than expected gross from the superhero fatigue.
Whatever happens with Black Widow, it won’t have too much affect on the MCU overall. That doesn’t mean it’s not worth worrying about though.
Initially, Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow had been carrying the torch for female supers in the MCU. More recently, Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch, Nebula, Gamora and Mantis have stepped up to the plate. Following her heroic sacrifice in Endgame, seeing the iconic MCU character step aside would have been a fitting torch pass.
Black Widow might end up being a great movie. But it risks diminishing the permanence of Natasha’s sacrifice and goes against the grain of synchronicity. Captain Marvel worked well as a flashback because it sidestepped the tricky Infinity War/Endgame void and was laying the groundwork for an entirely separate story with the Scrulls.
Black Widow though feels unnecessarily disconnected, and could be a bit of a damp squib.
