34 movies to watch in 2019

This is going to be a huge year for the big screen

A ticket.

If you're anything like me, you're still busy catching up on 2018 movies ahead of Oscar season. But consider this your warning to hurry up, because 2019 is going to be a huge movie year — in all sorts of ways.

This year, superheroes are set to take over theaters once again, with Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame expected to be the first major hits this spring. But there will also be antiheroes and villains, like Jean in Dark Phoenix, or an aspiring comic named Arthur Fleck in Joker. New worlds will be explored in Alita: Battle Angel and Star Wars: Episode IX, and Disney is unleashing three different reboots of animated classics. Horror darlings like Ari Aster and Robert Eggers are set to scare us silly with their sophomore features. There is even a pair of creepy doppelgänger films on the horizon: Jordan Peele's Us and Ang Lee's Gemini Man.
