In the 21st Century, there are a lot of ways we consume media, and one of the biggest ways we consume media is through movies. And then we take those movies and talk about them for weeks on end on other platforms like Twitter and Instagram. Even before movies are released, while the movies are still being filmed people take to social media and talk about how excited they are about these movies. Twenty-nineteen is expected to be an even bigger year for the silver screen, and there are films that are more anticipated than others.
1. “Avengers 4: Endgame”
This long-awaited Avengers movie is intended to answer everyone’s burning question, “what comes next?” and everyone’s hoping this isn’t the end. But this movie will be the end for our beloved Steve Rogers as Chris Evans’ contract with Marvel ends after this movie.
2. “It Chapter 2”
Everyone’s favorite killer clown is back in Derry to torment the adults that were once the Loser Club. This sequel isn’t a surprise to anyone who watched the original movies or read the Stephen King novel, but is still highly anticipated by horror fans.
3. “Zombieland 2”
This sequel to the hit comedy thriller Zombieland is the epitome of the ten-year challenge. With all of the original cast coming back for the sequel and new faces, this movie shows how the undead have evolved.
