This week on Episode 568 of the InSession Film Podcast, we discussed our Top 5 most anticipated films of 2024. It’s a new year and that means new movies to look forward to as we turn the page. 2024 looks to be quite different from last year in terms of big blockbuster appeal, however it does seem to continue the trend of auteurs dominating the landscape. This year we’ll see the likes of Denis Villeneuve, Ridley Scott, Terrence Malick, Steve McQueen, Robert Eggers, Luca Guadagnino, Jeff Nichols, Ethan Coen, Bong Joon-ho, Joshua Oppenheimer and even Francis Ford freakin Coppola. Similarly to Oppenheimer last year, Gladiator 2 and Dune Part Two will bridge the gap between artistry and spectacle, and it should be fascinating to see if audiences respond the same way. There’s only one major superhero film this year in Deadpool 3. For everyone who wanted a reprieve, you’ll be getting one. In many ways, this could be reminiscent to the 2000s in how varied the year was on the whole. Should be really fun!
For the sake of this post, we are going to list our true Top 10 most anticipated films of 2024. So these lists will be slightly different from what we discussed on the podcast.

Hopefully you guys enjoyed our lists and if you agree or disagree with us, let us know in the comment section below. There are obviously many more films coming out this year that we didn’t have time to mention. That is to say, your list could look very different than ours given the amount of great potential that we could see in 2024. That being said, what would be your Top 5?
