Moonshot
Two college students form an unlikely duo and travel by space shuttle to the red planet to reunite with their loved ones.
A little something different for the list of upcoming sci-fi movies for 2022 with the sci-fi rom-com, Moonshot, which is set to depict life and love on Mars. Starring teen drama favorites, Cole Sprouse of Riverdale and Lana Condor of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, we look to a future where Mars has been colonized and now houses the best of the best humans who once populated Earth.
Morbius
Doctor Michael Morbius (Jared Leto) is a biochemist who suffers from a strange blood disease. While trying to heal himself and provide an answer to the disorder he inadvertently infects himself with a form of vampirism. After the cure, Michael feels more alive than ever and gains various gifts such as strength and speed, as well as an irresistible need to consume blood. Tragically turned into a flawed antihero, Doctor Morbius will have one last chance, but at what cost.
APOLLO 10 ½: A SPACE AGE CHILDHOOD
A coming-of-age story set in the suburbs of Houston, Texas in the summer of 1969, centered around the historic Apollo 11 moon landing. Not far off from reality for the writer and director of this movie, Richard Linklater (Boyhood, Dazed and Confused), who did in fact grow up in Houston in the 60s. Apollo 10 ½ delves into nostalgia of the time through the eyes of an innocent child.
CHARIOT
A story about a corporation and a doctor (John Malkovich) who oversees the reincarnation process, and a young man (Thomas Mann) who becomes a glitch in the system when he meets a woman (Rosa Salazar) he loved. in a previous life.
DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS
2022 is slathered with MCU goodness and we’ve got more for you with the next instalment of Doctor Strange’s journey: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. We’ve talked about the multiverse with the new Spider-Man movie and Doctor Strange’s role in that, but with this movie it seems we’ll be going even deeper as Benedict Cumberbatch reprises his role as Dr. Stephen Strange.
With some more space-time continuum warping and even more research into the Time Stone, an unspeakable evil is unleashed on the MCU and we know that Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff (aka Scarlet Witch) will have a big part to play.
JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION
Four years after the destruction of Isla Nublar, dinosaurs now live–and hunt–alongside humans all over the world. This fragile balance will reshape the future and determine, once and for all, whether human beings are to remain the apex predators on a planet they now share with history’s most fearsome creatures. And, we imagine, some more romance between lead actors Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt.
LIGHTYEAR
The origin story of Buzz Lightyear, the hero who inspired the toy, and who introduces us to the legendary Space Ranger who would end up with generations of fans.
For this one, the voice acting reins have been handed over to Chris Evans instead of Buzz original, Tim Allen, so it’ll be interesting to see and hear Buzz in a whole new light.
PREY
New installment of the Predator saga. Set 300 years ago, it will tell the story of a warrior from the Comanche nation who will try to protect her triviality from a fearsome alien creature.
Prey acts as an origin story for the first time the Predator was discovered on Earth and is a long-awaited addition to the iconic sci-fi franchise. Whilst we don’t have an exact release date, we do know it’s coming out Summer 2022 exclusively on Hulu.
