2026 Movie Preview: Get ready for superheroes, sequels… and an epic ‘Odyssey’
The ever-endangered movie theater is making another strong bid for your IRL attendance in 2026.
Many of the year’s most anticipated films are, unsurprisingly, sequels or updates to prior beloved material, with a few breaths of fresh air in the mix for good measure.
Here’s a taste of what our collective cinematic future holds:
Ralph Fiennes’ surprisingly genteel post-apocalyptic doctor returns in this fourth “28 Days Later†installment, conceivably picking up shortly after the rather bonkers ending of last year’s “28 Years Later.†Expect more naked zombies.
If the excessive strobe lights in the trailer haven’t put you off, this (we think) concert mockumentary covering Charli XCX’s “brat†tour might finally be the movie worthy of following in the footsteps of Madonna’s “Truth or Dare.â€

Wuthering Heights to The Odyssey: 16 of the most exciting films coming up in 2026
From Emerald Fennell's divisive new adaptation of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights to Christopher Nolan's wildly anticipated ancient Greek epic, here are BBC critics' picks of the films to see in the year ahead.
Emerald Fennell's bold take on Emily Brontë's 1847 novel is already one of the year's most divisive films. The trailer alone evoked both fascinated anticipation and pearl-clutching resistance. On social media, Brontë purists have objected to everything from the film's raw sexiness to its casting, complaining that Margot Robbie is too old to play the teenage Cathy and Jacob Elordi too white to play Heathcliff, described in the book as "dark-skinned". But Fennell, who proved herself to be a daring original with Promising Young Woman and Saltburn, knew she was taking an iconoclastic approach. "I wanted to make something that was the book that I experienced when I was 14," she has said, describing it as "primal, sexual". Her version of those two doomed, passionate lovers is also stylised, with bright-red costumes and red-orange skies. Owen Cooper of Adolescence plays the young Heathcliff and Hong Chau is Cathy's loyal maid, Nelly. And if you don't feel like channelling your inner teenage girl, the year brings a more traditional adaptation of a 19th-Century classic, Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. Daisy Edgar-Jones stars as Elinor Dashwood in the story of marriageable sisters and their pursuit of love. (CJ)
