My 22 Most Anticipated Films of 2022!

I don’t have much of an intro this year. This list isn’t concrete, as I’m sure there’s a bunch of others I’d be more excited about if I had thought of them/known about them when I compiled it. Anyway, in chronological order, here are…

My 22 Most Anticipated Films of 2022!

1. The Worst Person in the World (Joachim Trier) – 2.4

I recently decided to categorize this one as a 2022 film despite it being a player in the 2021 awards season because of the fact that there’ll be no real public release for it until February. The buzz is enough to get excited about it, but it was Trier’s Thelma that made this one bump the sure to be silly and fun Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

2. The Batman (Matt Reeves) – 3.4

Matt Reeves was enough, but then there’s that refreshingly clever cast, cinematography by Greig Fraser and a new Michael Giacchino score. Damn!

3. The Northman (Robert Eggers) – 4.22

A Viking revenge thriller by the man who brought the world The Witch and The Lighthouse would make this list immediately, anyway. But then this also reunites Eggers with Anya Taylor-Joy and Willem Dafoe and has a cast that also includes Ethan Hawke and the one and only Björk.

4. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (Sam Raimi) – 5.6

Oh, c’mon… have you met me?!?

5. Top Gun: Maverick (Joseph Kosinski) – 5.27

I’ve never been the biggest fan of Top Gun, but the stunt-work here is going to make this a must-see on the biggest screen possible.

6. Jurassic World: Dominion (Colin Trevorrow) – 6.10

The World installations in this franchise haven’t been the best, but they’re my inner-child whose life was changed by Jurassic Park will always be excited for more dinosaur mayhem.

7. Thor: Love and Thunder (Taika Waititi) – 7.8

The team that brought us the brilliant madness that was Thor: Ragnarok is back!!

8. Where the Crawdads Sing (Olivia Newman) – 7.22

I’m not entirely sold on the director or cast, but I adored the shit out of this book, and that’s enough for me.

9. Don’t Worry Darling (Olivia Wilde) – 9.23

Booksmart was incredible. This looks nothing like Booksmart. I love that Wilde is taking such a creative/stylistic risk with her sophomore directorial feature. But not as much as I love Florence Pugh, who would be enough to get this film on this list alone. Add her to the aforementioned Wilde stuff and a cast that hot as hell? Yes Please.

10. Mission: Impossible 7 (Christopher McQuarrie) – 9.30

Pretty much what I said about Top Gun: Maverick, except I’m also a huge fan of this franchise.

11. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse – Part One (Dos Santos, Powers & Thompsom) – 10.7

The first film was one of the most visually exciting, creative animated films quite possibly ever made, and easily became the best Spider-Man film to date (yes, even post-No Way Home). I absolutely cannot wait to see where they bring us next.

Please Continue for More!!

12. The Flash (Andy Muschietti) – 11.4

Michael Keaton. That is all.

13. Untitled David O. Russell (David O. Russell) – 11.4

I don’t have a clue what this is about, but the cast – minus Rami Malek – and Russell’s track-record is enough.

14. The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg) – 11.23

C’mon… it’s Spieberg.

15. Babylon (Damien Chazelle) – 12.25 

The director of Whiplash, La La Land & First Man tackles old Hollywood. Enough said.

16. Blonde (Andrew Dominik) – TBA

This is like the third year this has been on this list. Please, please let 2022 be the year I finally get Ana De Armas as Marilyn Monroe.

17. Crimes of the Future (David Cronenberg) – TBA

It’s been too long since we’ve gotten a genuinely exciting project from Cronenberg. So, I’m excited.

18. Disappointment Blvd. (Ari Aster) – TBA

Hereditary and Midsommar were staggering. I cannot wait to see what Aster brings us with this one.

19. The Killer (David Fincher) – TBA

C’mon… It’s Fincher.

20. Killers of the Flower Moon (Martin Scorsese) – TBA

C’mon… It’s Scorsese.

21. The Pale Blue Eye (Scott Cooper) – TBA

I don’t really think there’s been a Cooper film I haven’t liked. Plus, Harry Melling as Edgar Allan Poe is too interesting to pass up, no matter the context.

22. Pinocchio (Guillermo del Toro) – TBA

A stop-motion passion project from Guillermo del Toro… excuse me while I count the seconds until this gets released.

There they are! I’m excited to see the cinematic world get closer to normal in 2022, but mostly I’m just excited for more trips to the cinema. Here’s to hoping those are plentiful and satisfying in 2022!

As for My Best of 2021, all of the major lists will not be getting posted until mid-month (or as soon as I get the chance to catch up on some of the final 2021 releases I haven’t had the chance to see, yet), but I’m going to try to get some of the early lists – such as Posters, TV & Non-2021 Films – sorted and posted over the next week or two. Please Stay Tuned!

Also…

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
