Captain Marvel (March 8)

Brie Larson is bringing us 90’s nostalgia with Marvel’s first female-led superhero movie, Captain Marvel. After DC’’s Wonder Woman, we have high expectations for Captain Marvel and hope she will showcase the strength, vulnerability and independence of women today. We can’t wait to see independent women and have a girl’s night out to celebrate the glass ceilings Captain Marvel is crashing through!

Dumbo (March 29)

Make sure to bring tissues to the theater when watching Dumbo! Even the trailer made us cry, so you can expect this movie to tug at your heartstrings. Similarly to the animated film, this live action movie will showcase Dumbo, an adorable elephant dreaming to fly, but with Tim Burton directing, you can bet he will bring his signature dark spin to the movie.

Avengers: Endgame (April 26)

Marvel’s era of the OG Avengers is coming to an end with Avengers: Endgame and the stakes are higher than ever. The controversy over Infinity War, you know, half of the superheros disintegrating into dust, leaves us wondering what Marvel has in store for the final film.  There’s a lot of debate about whether our fav superheroes like Spiderman and Black Panther will come back to life for the final installment of the series and who will die in the movie, we just hope every hero will survive the film!

Rocketman (May 31)

Rocketman, Elton John’s biopic, will be released on May 31. This movie is sure to have you singing along to all his classic songs. Taron Egerton looks exactly like a young Elton John in the trailers. With co-stars Jamie Bell and Richard Madden in full 70’s apparel, this film will bring you back to a romantic era of clothing with bright colors and eclectic looks. At the end of the film, look forward to seeing some fantasy elements that will definitely get your groove going for the last musical number.

No matter which movie you pick (or if you decide to watch all five) there is a springtime movie perfect for everyone.
