1. Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Release Date: December 15th

Billed As:

The third second Star Wars trilogy movie, with added Luke, answers to lots of questions and OH MY GOD LOOK AT HOW CUTE THAT PORG IS.

Hype:

Seriously, have your eyes ever clapped eyes on something so beautiful? It's like a Wookie hamster.

The Last Jedi will probably be the highest grossing film of the year, and not just because it's Star Wars. In a world where directors seem to be peeled away from Star Wars movies every couple of weeks, Rian Johnson looks to be a genius addition to the franchise.

Every trailer, every new update and every scrap of footage looks brilliant; we know there's a lot of intriguing story to be revealed and there's bound to be an Empire Strikes Back style escalation that makes Han Solo's death in The Force Awakens look like a pillow fight in a marshmallow field.

To be fair, Disney could just release two hours of porgs talking to camera and it'd still make a billion dollars. But that doesn't mean The Last Jedi won't still be brilliant.
