Independence Day: Resurgence (June 24)
This one hits me right in the 90s nostalgia kidney. I grew up unabashedly loving the first. It’s an epic modern B-movie that is ripe for update, as I’m certain I’m not the only one who looks back fondly on the original (and yes, perhaps through rose-colored lenses but just let me have this!). I think people are underestimating those factors here and it might result in surprise box office strength for this late sequel. Put it this way: if Fuller House was a success, this should be too. Also, I much prefer having Will Smith in Suicide Squad than in Resurgence, since it frees it up space for new stars like Liam Hemsworth, Jessie Usher and Maika Monroe akin to how Star Wars: The Force Awakens expertly introduced Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Oscar Isaac. Plus, more Jeff Goldblum is always a good thing (are you listening, J.A. Bayona?).
The sequel is rumored to be called The Matrix: Resurrections.
Remember Iron Man 2?
This is the first anime Star Wars series.
Loki was the first series to launch on Wednesdays for the streaming service.
The actor also touched upon her busy schedule.
