This is a film that’s destined to bring folks out of the movies again.
4. Tron: Ares (Disney / October 10)
Over a decade since Tron: Legacy, this sequel takes the franchise into new territory. Jared Leto stars in a film that merges the Grid with the real world in a darker, more emotional direction. Visually bold and long-awaited, Tron: Ares is drawing major attention from both longtime fans and tech-savvy newcomers.
5. The Mandalorian & Grogu (Lucasfilm / December 18)
The galaxy far, far away returns to the movies as The Mandalorian finally heads to theaters. Jon Favreau directs, with Pedro Pascal reprising his role as Din Djarin.
