20 Movies Starring MCU Actors In 2018

4. A Star Is Born (Bradley Cooper)

A Star Is Born
Warner Bros.

Release Date: May 18

Speaking of remaking classic movies, Bradley Cooper will bravely make his directorial debut (while also co-starring opposite Lady Gaga) with this remake of the beloved 1937 romantic musical A Star is Born, which has already had two significant prior Hollywood remakes.

Considering that Cooper's last major starring role was in David O. Russell's Joy two years ago, it'll be great to see him dig back into a meaty live-action performance, even if remaking this classic tale as his first movie is most certainly flirting with disaster.

As for how Lady Gaga (or Stefani Germanotta, as she's being credited) will fare as the ingenue character? Given the plaudits she's received for her work on American Horror Story, she'll probably do just fine. Plus, the new music she's composing for the film pretty much guarantees her a Best Original Song Oscar nod.
