List: Top 10 Most Anticipated Films of 2020

This week on Episode 361 of the InSession Film Podcast, we discussed our Top 5 most anticipated films of 2020. It’s a new year and that means there are a lot of new movies for us to look forward to this year. 2019 was a wonderful year for film and it should be really exciting to see how or if that progression continues into 2020. In terms of mainstream entertainment, there’s more uncertainty this year than what we’ve seen the last few years. No Time to Die, Wonder Woman 1984 and Black Widow should be hits, but there’s no guarantees for others such as Eternals, Morbius, Godzilla vs Kong, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and Dune among others. Mulan should be a big hit, but it’s less talked about than other gems from the Disney Renaissance era. Even musicals such as West Side story and In the Heights are somewhat up in the air, although we do expect to have some play with audiences. More than anything, this will be the year of the long-awaited sequel with movies like Top Gun: Maverick, Bad Boys For Life, Coming 2 America and Bill & Ted Face the Music. The indie and auteur circuit is where 2020 could really thrive though. We are going to see plenty of great directors releasing new projects this year, and it looks quite exciting on that front. We had a lot to discuss here and it was fun talking about what the year has to offer.
