We are going to be honest, we were just watching the Super Bowl for the halftime show and to get the first sneak peek of the highly anticipated movies that are about to drop. And they did not disappoint, from mischievous minions to animals on steroids, are you as excited as we are for this year's lineup?


Deadpool & Wolverine 

We finally get to see one of Hollywoodโ€™s cutest couples join forces for what promises to be the superhero duo of a lifetime. Their on and off screen bromance is a thing of magic and the irresistible chemistry is destined to set the standard for relationship goals. 

While laughter is guaranteed, given the duoโ€™s trademark for comedic genius, the film takes us on a wild ride through the multiverse, with a cross over of beloved characters from โ€œLokiโ€, including Owen Wilson and Matthew MacFadyen. What possible ripple effects can two superheroes really make? Deadpool and Wolverine are primed to shake things up, breaking all the rules, and leaving an unforgettable trail of chaos in their wake. 

The rumours among fans are that this may not just be an epic adventure; it could very well be setting the scene for a prelude for โ€œAvengers: Secret Warโ€.

Based on the 1980โ€™s TV series with the same name, the remake will propel us into the mayhem of an out of work stuntman, Colt Seavers, who gets an offer he canโ€™t refuse. Only problem is the director and former stuntwoman, Jody, is his ex, who absolutely does not want him anywhere near her set. Out of her control she decides that having Colt perform death-defying stunts, leaping for helicopters, engulfed by flames and driving through explosions, might be more fun than she thought. Yet amidst the blaze and chaos, she discovers flames of a different kind rekindling. Until the star of the show, Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), goes missing. Colt is recruited to blend his profession with reality, moonlighting as a bounty hunter, in an attempt to save Tom from the underworld of Hollywood, and ultimately the movie.

Will the blur between reel and real become too much for Colt? Find out on the 3rd May.
