During these trying times, many people don’t have much to look forward to in 2017. The unknown is a scary thing, however, during these frightening times, I personally look to movies as a way to escape. Since I was a kid I always found peace through cinema and books, however, I’ve been so consumed with school work this year that books are not really something I look forward to reading. Instead, I think 2017 is the year of the movie because there are many great films coming out. Whether you like superheroes, remakes or fairytales, 2017, has nine great movies coming out and one TV Show.
If you love Marvel watch out for these great films coming your way in 2017:
1. "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" coming May 5, 2017
Just the sound of “Hooked on a Feeling” in the trailer gave me goosebumps. Not to mention baby Groot!
2. "Spider-Man: Homecoming" coming July 7, 2017
Not only do we have a more modern day Spider-Man, but we also have a diverse casting for Mary Jane. Totally excited for it!
For remakes or movies that revolve around an old movie, save the date for:
3. "Power Rangers" coming March 24, 2017
As a child I watched the "Power Rangers" religiously so to say I was a little hesitant regarding this remake is an understatement. However, after watching the trailer I’m super psyched!
4. "Friday the 13th" coming October 13, 2017
Who doesn’t love a good horror movie? Well, I hope this version is better than the last sequel they tried to make…
5. "Jumanji" coming December 22, 2017
Though I’m hesitant about this, The Rock is a great actor. I’ll possibly give it a shot, but I’m not expecting much to be honest. I mean, it's hard to live up to Robin Williams.
6. "Beauty and the Beast" coming March 17, 2017
I’m so excited for my favorite childhood movie to come to life. Knowing that Emma Watson will portray Belle makes me giddy inside. She’s definitely my favorite actress and I’m super excited to see her in this.
If you’re more of a DC fan get excited because these films are coming your way:
7. "Wonder Woman" coming June 2, 2017
She’s strong, powerful and badass! Who doesn’t love Wonder Woman?
8. "Justice League" coming November 17, 2017
Though I wasn’t too keen on "Batman vs. Superman," and "Suicide Squad," I’m not going to give up hope for this movie just yet…
Sequels? Who doesn’t love a good sequel?
9. "Star Wars Episode VIII" coming December 15, 2017
I must say I’m very pleased with what Disney is doing with the "Star Wars" series, so I’m super excited for this!
There’s also one TV show I want to mention coming out that gives me chills:
10. "Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events" coming January 13, 2017
Be sure to watch out for some of these great movies coming your way! There are more movies coming, but these are just a few to get excited about!
