But now that we are officially in the New Year, we can now set our sights on what lies ahead in the new year. While 2015 was one of the biggest movie years in history, the films set to be released in 2016 look to be just as exciting. With that, let’s go over some of the big time storylines heading into this year and then I’ll share with you my top 10 upcoming films for this year.
Top Storylines of 2016
With The Hunger Games franchise officially concluded, a big
hole needs to be filled as the young adult film genre looks for a worthy
successor to its most recent king. The latest entry in the Divergent Series
will try to earn the honor despite digging a big hole for themselves with two
installments that disregard the source material resulting in minimal success.
However, a new competitor may be set to take the throne. Rising star Chloe
Grace Moretz steps into the shoes of hardened survivor Cassie Sullivan in the
on-screen adaptation of Rick Yancy’s acclaimed sci-fi post-apocalyptic novel
The 5th Wave. The struggling successor and the promising new up and
comer will be vying for the title as the next true young adult phenomenon.
If you aren’t a big fan of the superhero genre, than 2016 might be the long year for you. This year, 6 superhero films spanning from 3 studios are set for release throughout the winter, spring, summer, and fall. The X-Men, Avengers, Batman, Super Man, and the long awaited debut of the merc with a mouth headline this massive superhero line-up.
3 years ago, DC comics released the reboot of the superman
franchise Man of Steel and looked to take the title of best superhero studio
away from Marvel. However, since DC went on a 2 year hiatus, Marvel Studios
have become one of the biggest and most financially powerful film corporations
in the world. A silver screen rivalry as heated as ever, DC and Marvel are set
to trade blows as both studios prepare to dish out the years most anticipated
films. Whoever wins, WE ALL WIN!!!!
Now let me share with you my top ten upcoming films for 2016.
