25 most highly anticipated movies of 2019
14. Dark Phoenix
Directed by: Simon Kinberg
Starring: Sophie Turner, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence
Date arriving: June 7, 2019
Why we need to watch it: You can say you’re not excited all you want, but you know a part of you wants this origin story. Sophie Turner has done a good job so far of being a young Jean Grey and now it’s time for her to really step up that game. Dark Phoenix is the chance to do that.
One of the reasons we can’t wait for this X-Men prequel movie is the fact that the release date has been pushed so much. Because of previous dates being pushed, there’s this buzz around the movie that makes us want it now.

13. Happy Death Day 2U
Directed by: Christopher Landon
Starring: Jessica Rothe, Israel Broussard, Ruby Modine, Suraj Sharma, and Sarah Yarkin
Date arriving: Feb. 14, 2019
Why we need to watch it: After the surprising success of Happy Death Day, it wasn’t surprising to hear there would be a sequel. Surprisingly, this is one of those sequels we can’t wait to see.
This time, there’s a masked serial killer after Tree Gleberman’s friends. She needs to let herself die over and over again to work out who the masked person is. While there are similarities to the first storyline, there’s possibly enough to make this interestingly different. With the original team behind the movie, this sequel is bound to be successful.
