IN CINEMAS 2 MAY

Director Jake Schreier / Starring Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, Olga Kurylenko, Wyatt Russell, Lewis Pullman / Genre Action, Adventure

Marvel is back! After taking a brief hiatus to refine their upcoming slate – despite dropping Deadpool & Wolverine, Agatha All Along, and the bombshell news of Robert Downey Jr’s return as Doctor Doom in that time – the MCU is up and running once more and set to take 2025 and beyond by storm.

Anthony Mackie takes flight as Captain America, the new look Fantastic Four enter the fray, and most exciting of all, is the longmooted team-up of misfit antiheroes

from across the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Introducing the Thunderbolts* yes, asterisk and all. Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes, David Harbour’s Red Guardian, Hannah John-Kamen’s Ghost, Olga Kurylenko’s Taskmaster, Wyatt Russell’s John Walker, and Lewis Pullman’s Bob aka Sentry are brought together to fight for the U.S. government. With this renewed sense of purpose as part of a daresay “team,” they may have each just found a way of making being bad… good, but only if they can stop shooting and punching each other first.

Pulling the strings, it seems, is Julia Louis Dreyfus’ Valentina Allegra de Fontaine but their name suggests that someone bigger – much, much bigger – is really in charge.

Everything, as ever with Marvel, is under strict lock and key, but there’s more than enough to get excited for.

Rachel Weisz

With Yelena and Red Guardian reuniting from Black Widow, perhaps there’s some unfinished family business to sort with their surrogate matriarch, Melina Vostokoff.

Laurence Fishburne

In Ant-Man And The Wasp, Fishburne’s Bill Foster hopes to find a cure for Ava Starr aka Ghost’s molecular problems, perhaps he’s also helped her stay off-grid in all the time since.

training he needs when those he thought he could depend on abandon him.

The Amateur is based on Robert Littell’s 1981 novel which already received the silver screen treatment that same year in a film starring John Savage and Christopher Plummer.

Director Bong Joon Ho / Starring Robert Pattinson, Mark Ruffalo, Toni Collette / Genre Adventure, Sci-Fi

Mickey Barnes is a loyal employee. He’s committed to his job. Gives his all to it. You could even say he’d die for it! But, come the seventeenth go around as an expendable, he has to be honest… he hates dying!

Based on Edward Ashton’s sci-fi novel Mickey 7, the film launches us far into the future where humanity is attempting to colonise the ice world of Niflheim. One strategy is through the use of disposable employees like Mickey, who’s sent to scope things out and each failed experiment/death sees a new version of his body cloned and continuation of the mission with, most of, his memory intact.

WORDS JIM ROBERTS

Academy Award-winning writerdirector Bong Joon Ho takes his signature style into this existential expedition of what it means, and how it feels, to die. The question is made even thornier when Mickey realises his employers have created multiple concurrent versions of him and Mark Ruffalo’s Hieronymous Marshall is set on exterminating the duplicate – without knowing which is the real Mickey.

Oddball Mickey will cross paths with other colonists from an ensemble supporting cast that includes Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, and Toni Collette. As the hidden truths of his role and existence unfold, he’s faced with choices that could threaten the established elites and any dreams of a new space world. Plus, the possibility that maybe immortality just isn’t all it’s cracked up to be?

IN CINEMAS 25 APRIL

Director Gavin O’Connor / Starring Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, J.K. Simmons / Genre Action, Crime, Mystery, Thriller

Ben Affleck’s Christian Wolff is an autistic auditor for criminal clients and a ruthless hitman rolled into one, and he’s back in action in a thrilling new chapter that presents him with an even trickier puzzle to solve.

Following the previous film, where the pieces of his complex past fall into place as he deciphers a case of missing money in deadly fashion,

Wolff is called in from the cold by FBI Agent Marybeth Medina, now Treasury Director, to solve the murder of someone close to them both. Wolff must be prepared to face up against a group of mysterious assassins who are hot on his tail.

But this time, he can’t do it alone. Reunited after more than ten years estranged, Wolff recruits his equally lethal brother, Brax, to balance the equation on this deadly mission where the superintelligent accountant needs more than his unique mind and combat expertise to find the answer.

Director Gavin O’Connor and writer Bill Dubuque return alongside the supporting cast of Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, J.K Simmons, and new addition Daniella Pineda for this sequel to the sleeper hit. It’s the same formula for a smart, action-packed thrill, but everything is multiplied.
