(The fact that the $1 billion-earning “Spider-Man: No Way Home” was just a live-action version of the first movie says everything.) For the sequel, writer/producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller have assembled a new directing team (made up of “Soul” co-director Kemp Powers, killer animation director Joaquim Dos Santos and former production designer Justin K. “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” - June 2Ģ018’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” did many things – it established a bold animation style outside of the usual confines of western animation, drawing inspiration not only from Japanese anime but also the comic books origins of the movie’s narrative gave the world a new Spider-Man in Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) became one of the few non-Disney-or-Pixar animated movies to win the Best Animated Feature Oscar and introduced the concept of a multiverse, years before Marvel Studios made it the bedrock of their overarching storytelling. Here we have 18 movies you should make sure to see, in a theater, this summer. With the studios reiterating that theatrical is a priority, there’s plenty here to entice someone to put on regular clothes and plunk down money for a ticket. Regardless, will audiences go out to a movie theater to see all of these? The hope is yes because there’s certainly a lot of entertainment to be found. On top of that, there’s a great combination of IP titles, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the “Mission: Impossible” series, as well as those with tangential connections to established franchises, like how “Last Voyage of the Demeter” is kind of a new Dracula movie. From a new continuation of “The Meg” to the (final?) installment of “Indiana Jones,” everything has franchise potential, even something like “Barbie” which could start a whole trend of live-action Barbie films.
If there’s any trend worth noting about this summer, it’s how franchise-heavy everything is. Starting June 2 with the arrival of “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” the summer looks bright and chock-a-block with bombastic features directed by some of the biggest directors out there. This summer might feel a lot like the summers pre-Covid, if only because from June to August there are several massive movies you’ll want to see in a theater.
