50 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2018 - Ranked
33. Red Sparrow
Though Marvel have recently been making some positive noises about the possibility of a Black Widow movie, it looks like they've been pipped at the post by a different studio and what appears to be an entirely different character.
Red Sparrow isn't actually a Black Widow movie, per se, but the story - of Jennifer Lawrence's Russian agent turning double on her motherland - certainly bears resemblance, and the atmospheric trailer seems to suggest tonal leads have been taken from the Marvel character. That's no bad thing, and the studio probably won't do a great deal about suppressing the similarities if they're smart.
Lawrence is joined by an incredibly gifted cast including Joel Edgerton, Matthias Schoenaerts, Charlotte Rampling, Jeremy Irons and Ciaran Hinds (among many others), and that all sounds like assured quality right there.
Release Date: March 2nd
