3. Turning Red

© Walt Disney Studio Motion Pictures / Courtesy Everett Collection

Set in Toronto in 2002, this tale of growing pains told through metaphor is unique, silly, and marvelously moving. It's great! The film follows Mei Lee, a 13-year-old girl torn between being her mother's perfect little angel and...well, being a 13-year-old girl. Having previously been one myself, I can truly say I've never seen a movie capture the pure chaotic weirdness that is being a teenage girl quite like this one. Like, just change 4*Town to My Chemical Romance, and Mei is teenage me.

Starring: Rosalie Chiang, Sandra Oh, Ava Morse, Hyein Park, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Orion Lee, Wai Ching Ho, Tristan Allerick Chen, and James Hong

When it premieres: March 11 on Disney+

4. The Adam Project

Netflix

I have often thought of the things I'd tell my younger self if I had the chance: "Drink more water." "Mom's right about most things." "Don't date that bass player, he's going to give you a UTI." But never among those things was "Hey, let's save the world!" — which is exactly what this comedy explores. After accidentally catapulting himself to 2022, a time-traveling fighter pilot teams up with his younger self to save the future. Also...this cast, though.

Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner, Walker Scobell, Catherine Keener, and Zoe Saldaña

When it premieres: March 11 on Netflix

5. Umma

Sandra Oh...in a supernatural horror film?! Who's been reading my non-existent diary? This one follows a woman living on a farm whose life is turned upside-down when the remains of her estranged mother arrive from Korea and she is, quite literally, haunted by memories.

Starring: Sandra Oh, Fivel Stewart, Dermot Mulroney, Odeya Rush, MeeWha Alana Lee and Tom Yi

7. X

A group of amateur filmmakers in the late '70s prepare to make an adult film in rural Texas, but the elderly couple hosting them aren't too pleased when they find out the true nature of their film. It's also an A24 horror film, so you already know you're in for something weird as all heck.

A reclusive romance-adventure novelist heads out on a book tour with her super-hunky cover model, but the two get more than they bargained for when the author is kidnapped, forcing the model to save her. This plot low-key reminds me of a modern day Romancing the Stone with the genres tweaked, so tbh, count me in.

Starring: Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, Daniel Radcliffe, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and Brad Pitt. 

When it premieres: March 25 in theaters

We also get Jamie Lee Curtis — fellow icon living among us — in a role described only as "a villainous bureaucrat."

11. Moonshot

HBO Max

Doesn't this screenshot look like an edit of To All the Boys I Loved Before made by a fan who really wanted Cole Sprouse cast as Peter instead of Noah Centineo? No? Okay. Anyway, this sci-fi rom-com sees a chill barista attempt to sneak aboard a space shuttle headed to a colonized Mars with the help of a college student, who's on her way there to visit her boyfriend.

12. Morbius

© Sony Pictures Releasing / © Marvel Entertainment / Courtesy Everett Collection

Vampires?! In the MCU?! Well...sort of. In a classic comic book scenario, biochemist Michael Morbius tries to cure himself of a disease, but it goes horribly, horribly wrong, resulting in him infecting himself with vampirism instead. You know, as one does.

Starring: Jared Leto, Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal, and Tyrese Gibson

When it premieres: April 1 in theaters

15. The Bubble

Netflix

In the meta comedy to end all meta comedies, Judd Apatow parodies the Jurassic World Dominion filming process during COVID-19, which saw all of the actors living in a "bubble" to prevent the spread. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being Netflix's big April Fool's Day joke on all of us.

Starring:  Karen Gillan, Iris Apatow, Fred Armisen, Maria Bakalova, David Duchovny, Keegan-Michael Key, Leslie Mann, Kate McKinnon, Pedro Pascal, and Peter Serafinowicz

17. Ambulance

Universal Pictures

The movie that my friends and I keep referring to as "ambuLAnce" (seriously, the font design choice for this title killed us for some reason — we laughed so hard, we needed an ambulance) sees two very, very handsome men robbing banks in a Michael Bay–directed thriller. I'm sure it has a story, but like, I only have eyes for Yahya, so...

Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Eiza González

When it premieres: April 8 in theaters

18. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

Katalin Vermes / © Lionsgate / Courtesy Everett Collection

In a film straight out of my actual dreams, Nic Cage plays a fictionalized version of Nic Cage. That's the plot. I know, I know, you're already clicking away to buy your tickets right now, I don't blame you — but please finish reading this post first.

Starring: Nicolas Cage, Pedro Pascal, Sharon Horgan, Ike Barinholtz, Alessandra Mastronardi, Jacob Scipio, Neil Patrick Harris, and Tiffany Haddish

19. The Northman

Aidan Monaghan / © Focus Features / courtesy Everett Collection

Robert Eggers, the director of The Lighthouse  and The Witch (or The VVitch, if you're nasty), is back! I like to imagine Eggers just went into the studio and pitched the sentence "Viking revenge story" and the studio heads were immediately like, "Do we have a Skarsgård available? Get one on the phone!" and that was the end of the conversation.

Starring: Alexander Skarsgård,  Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ethan Hawke, Björk, and Willem Dafoe

When it premieres: April 22 in theaters

In a title that throughly sounds like an amusement park ride, the not-so-good Doctor is back at it again, this time battling the scariest thing imaginable: the consequences of his own actions! After accidentally opening the multiverse for Peter Parker (who?), Strange teams up with Wanda Maximoff in an attempt to set things right. Also, there will be a LOT of cameos in this.

26. Top Gun: Maverick

Paramount Pictures

Maverick! Iceman! Small planes going zoom-zoom! I've never seen the original, but I assume it's about that? Anyway, this movie was supposed to come out back during the before times, and its release was delayed more times than I delay doing a simple task that would take me under 15 minutes, so it'll be awesome for fans to finally see it! Also, it comes out on my birthday!

Starring:  Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Ed Harris, and Val Kilmer
