Moore MOST ANTICIPATED MOVIES OF 2023 THE SLATTMAN, Christopher Slattery Honorable Mentions: Evil Dead Rise – I know, wrong podcast, but it's in my top 3 of all movies for the year. Meg 2 – first one was a "turn off your brain" fun shark movie, hope the second one is similar. Kraven the Hunter – Only on here because of the positive very early reception, should be better than Venom 2 and Morbius. Creed III – Trailers look amazing, really like Michael B Jordan. Blue Beetle – DC seems to be at their best when adapting lesser-known characters, so there are higher hopes for this movie than other DC projects. Not expecting this to come out this year, though. 65 – Dinosaurs + Adam Driver + Alien vibes, enough said John Wick: Chapter 4 – Amazing action choreography, should be a blast to watch Guardians of the Galaxy 3 – Gunn has a great track record with this franchise, can it overcome the "trilogy finale curse"? The Marvels – LOVED Ms Marvel, like Brie as Captain Marvel, should be fun Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania – JONATHAN MAJORS, trailers look great, still worried about the "trilogy finale curse," though The Super Mario Bros. Movie – This movie looks better and better with every trailer released Wonka – Probably the most intriguing movie we know very little about. Good cast, interesting concept, photos released so far make it look good Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves – I don't have high hopes about this movie being "amazing," but the trailers make it look super fun, and super fun is all I want from a D&D movie. Dune: Part Two – Part One has really grown on me, and is a movie that has only gotten better over time. Considering how much love and care Villeneuve put into Part One, it's hard to not think the same won't be put into Part Two Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse – The first Spider-Verse movie is my favorite Spider-Man movie ever made, and I consider it to be an animation masterpiece, and Spider-Man is my favorite super hero of all time. As the trailers have been very promising for this follow up, it seems like Sony Pictures Animation might be able to capture lightning in a bottle twice THE COSPLAY QUEEN, Vanessa 10 The Marvels 9 Dungeons and Dragons Honor Among Thieves 8 The Super Mario Bros.
