Here are some of the most anticipated films to look out for.

Michael: The feature film follows the life of singer Michael Jackson beyond his music, tracing his journey from the discovery of his extraordinary talent as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, to the solo artist who wanted to become the biggest entertainer in the world.

Starring the singer’s nephew, Jaafar Jackson, the biopic will premiere in April.

The Devil Wears Prada 2: Fashion giant Miranda Presley is back in the highly anticipated sequel, two decades after the original beloved film premiered, with the return of its star-studded cast, including Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt.

The action-packed fantasy film stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, who will be joined by Hollywood stars including Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, and Lupita Nyong’o.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day: Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker as he tries to focus on college and leave Spider-Man behind until a new threat puts his friends’ lives at risk, forcing the superhero to team up with an unexpected ally to protect his loved ones.

Alongside Holland, Zendaya will also reprise her role as MJ with Stranger Things actress Sadie Sink and Severance star Tramell Tillman joining the blockbuster.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping: The world of Panem will be revisited in this prequel to the original Hunger Games trilogy, which was adapted into the films starring US actress Jennifer Lawrence, following a young Haymitch Abernathy on the morning of the reaping of the 50th Hunger Games.
