Doctor Strange will make his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe before finally showing up later in "Avengers Infinity War."
1. Star Wars Rogue One
Whether you like Star Wars or not, this is going to be one of the biggest movies to release this year. Ever since the release of "The Force Awakens", Star Wars has become a global franchise that has reached billions of people. Becoming the highest grossing movie in America is an amazing achievement. What makes "Rogue One" special is that it is the first stand-alone Star Wars film which makes it the first anthology movie in Disney's planned collection. Rogue One tells the story of the brave rebellion steeling the first set of death star fans. The movie is planned to take fans all the way to just five minutes before "Star Wars A New Hope" begins. It will also feature Darth Vader who has not seen the big screen since 2005. You can see Vader on the big screen once more on December 16.
