Jay's Top Ten Most Anticipated Movies of 2018

There are a lot of intriguing movies coming out in 2018. These are the ones I'm most interested in.

 Honorable Mentions:  Spider-man: Into the Spiderverse, Ocean's 8, A Wrinkle in Time, Aquaman, Solo: A Star Wars Story, Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-it Ralph 2, A Quiet Place, The New Mutants, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom, Venom (out of curiosity)

10. Annhilation
Trailer
The director of Ex Machina adapting a popular science fiction novel. It follows a group of scientists including Natalie Portman who go on a dangerous mission to explore an area where the rules of physics do not apply. The trailer looks creepy and intense.

9. Untitled Cloverfield Sequel
This was also an honorable mention in last years list. It's release has since been moved to next year. But if it is as good as 10 Cloverfield Lane or even the original Cloverfield, it should be a treat.

8. The Predator
A remake of the action-horror classic. This is written and directed by Shane Black, the highly influential writer of hits such as Lethal Weapon, and was even an actor in the original Predator. I am very interested in his take on his this movie.

7. Black Panther

 Chadwick Boseman reprises his role from Captain America: Civil War as Black Panther. I really liked the character, and am interested in seeing more of him.

6. Untitled Deadpool Sequel

 Deadpool was the filthy, violent surprise hit superhero film of 2016. The teasers for the sequel promise more of the outrageous humor that made the first so entertaining.

5. Isle of Dogs

The next stop-motion animated movie from Wes Anderson, starring too many celebrities to list here. The story takes place in Japan in the future where all dogs are quarantined to an island, and some of them help a young boy find his own dog. This looks like it will maintain the quirky charm of Anderson's last animated movie, The Fantastic Mr Fox.

4. Pacific Rim: Uprising

The long awaited sequel to Guillermo del Toro's monster movie. This one may not have the same director, but it should still have the same great action sequences.

3. The Incredibles 2

If Pacific Rim: Uprising was long-awaited, then this is the movie we've been waiting for forever. It has been fourteen years since the original The Incredibles, and I am eagerly awaiting the sequel.

2. Avengers: Infinity War

This is part one of a two part conclusion to this phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. These movies are supposed to be the be-all-end-all of this franchise, and things will happen that will change this franchise. It will also bring all of the heroes together for one big, exciting movie event.

1. The Irishman
 I actually did not know about this movie until I did the research for this list, but now I'm really excited for it. It is directed by none other than the great Martin Scorsese, and follows a hitman who may have killed Jimmy Hoffa. It stars Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci. The reason this is at the top is because it's another gangster movie from Martin Scorsese, one of the greatest directors working today.
