Summer blockbuster movie season is almost here. These are films to watch
Episode 17
Wednesday, 29 April, 2026
Does it feel like summer? If not, soon it will be with a nonstop flow of big movies about to hit theaters. There are general formulas that are followed each year. You have a music biopic in "Michael." There are movies with numbers in their titles, like "The Devil Wears Prada 2" and "Toy Story 5." There are always superhero movies, and this year there are plenty, including "Avengers: Doomsday," "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" and "Supergirl." And, of course, you have big movies from big directors, like Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" and Steven Spielberg's "Disclosure Day." "Masters of the Universe" looks to bring in the 1980s crowd, but will it hold up? Does "The Odyssey" have enough star power to succeed, or is the classic tale destined to fail? Can "The Mandalorian & Grogu" get the "Star Wars" franchise back on track for Disney? And do we really need a live-action version of “Moana” even though the animated versions remain fresh? Ultimately, summer blockbusters are about movies that you don't want to miss in theaters. Only time will tell if this will be a successful summer.
