Summer’s here, and you know what that means — popcorn, giant screens, and movie magic at its finest! With the sunshine rolling in and blockbuster season kicking off, I’m counting down the days to some of the most epic, hilarious, and just plain awesome films hitting theaters. From jaw-dropping action to laugh-out-loud comedy and everything in between, these are the five movies I’m most hyped for this summer.

Mission: Impossible- The Final Reckoning (May 23rd)

With this being the possible last installment and Tom Cruise being batshit crazy this should be the most fun that will be have in the movie theater. The last one was I think the worst in the series for reasons like being too long and killing off Rebecca Ferguson (after her poignant scene with Michelle Monaghan in Fallout) and AI being a pointless villain.

Superman (July 11th)

The DC Universe will either soar or crumble with this film's success and while I would rather see Henry Cavill continue as Superman I'm willing to give this the benefit of doubt. Will the film's tone work is yet to be seen but Krypto the Dog should make for a fun time.

F1 (June 27th)

I wrote an article hoping a yet to be written Days Of Thunder 2 would crossover with this franchise and have Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt race. My Dad is a big Formula 1 fan so he should enjoy seeing this in theaters.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (July 25th)

I want the MCU to get back to how it was during Avengers: Endgame when it was firing on all cylinders so we need this to not only do well financially but creatively. The trailer's vibe of a 60's Jetsons era should be fun but Johnny Storm looks like a giant step back from Chris Evan's version.

The Naked Gun (August 1st)

I recently rewatched The Naked Gun series and seeing Leslie Nielsen's comic timing with OJ Simpson get beat up in the three films made for a great time. I don't remember the last time a proper spoof film was made but Liam Neeson's turn in Ted buying cereal should make him up to the challenge.
