While 2022 was a great year for movies, 2023 promises to top it with a schedule full of great movies from all kinds of genres, including sci-fi (Dina part two), comic (Flash), drama (Purple), and like a comedy Barbie.

One genre is particularly targeted for the great year 2023: action. Whether they’re sequels, video game adaptations, or reboots, these five action movies stand out as the best in a crowded pack that we can’t wait to see later in the year.

John Wick: Chapter 4 (March 24)

John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023 Movie) Official Trailer – Keanu Reeves, Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgård

OK, so Resurrection of the Matrix was not the success that fans and Warner Bros. had hoped for. hopefully in late 2021, but fear not, Keanu Reeves is returning to the franchise he’s best known for these days: John Wick. Yes, everyone’s favorite dog-loving, revenge-seeking killer is back with a fourth, ahem, chapter that promises the shootouts, double-dealing, and cool action cinematography the series is known for.

The return with Reeves is his Matrix co-star Laurence Fishburne as The Bowery King alongside an impressive roster of new additions to the franchise that includes martial artist Donnie Yen as a blind fellow assassin, It actor Bill Skarsgård as the main antagonist, Ian McShane as Wick’s friend Winston Scott and rock musician Rina Sawayama as the mysterious Akira. Recorded in Paris, Berlin, Japan. and New York, John Wick: Chapter 4 promises a trip around the world with blood splattered famous monuments. The director, Chad Stahelski, helmed the previous three John Wicks, so if you liked those movies (and chances are you did), you’ll probably like this one.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (March 31)

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves | Epic Journey (2023 film)

I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of Vin Diesel and company talking about family while blowing things up in the latest Fast and furious movie. The series has been milked to death at this point, with pointless spinoffs and underperforming sequels. So while everyone is expecting Quick X to be on this list, we’re honestly more excited Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves — although history is against it. Anyone who remembers the terrible year 2000 Dungeons & Dragons the movie with Marlon Wayans (yes, it’s not a tipfeller) knows what I’m talking about.

So what does he do Honor among thieves different? First, the cast is weird in all the right ways, with Chris Pine, BridgertonRegé-Jean Page, Michelle Rodriguez, Justice Smith, ItSophia Ellis and Hugh Grant look like they’re having a ball in the recently released trailer for the film. Second, and most importantly, the film was written and directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, the duo behind the comedies Terrible bosses and Game night. D & D fans are probably upset at the comical, somewhat campy tone the movie takes, but they can whine to their Gamemaster about it. It’s been a long time since we had a pleasant action-fantasy film that is not buried in seriousness and trauma, and Honor among thieves seems to fit the bill for light entertainment.

Gran Turismo (August 11)

GRAN TURISMO – Exclusive Sneak Peek

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: a major movie studio is about to release an adaptation of a popular racing video game that’s been around for decades. No, this is not The need for speed; It is Gran Turismo. What is the difference? Good, The need for speed was a terrible movie that bears no resemblance to the source game Gran Turismo has a promise to be both faithful and good … or, at the very least, better than The need for speed.

The director of the film, Neill Blomkamp, ​​is largely responsible for this. Yes, the same guy who directed District 9which was nominated for Best Picture back in 2009. Blomkamp’s star has recently lost some of its luster (absolutely nobody saw his last film, Demonic), but if he can take the same premeditated action that triggered it District 9, Gran Turismo it could be something special. A solid cast – Orlando Bloom, David Harbour, Djimon Hounsou – doesn’t hurt, and the screenplay is co-written by Zach Baylin, who made King Richard so memorable in 2021. Video game adaptations don’t usually have this kind of prestigious pedigree behind the camera, so we’re optimistic that Sony can finally make a decent racing movie that isn’t part of the Fast and Furious franchise.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (June 30)

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny | Official trailer

In the 1980s, three Indiana Jones movies — Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doomand The Last Crusade — each perfected and pushed the action genre to new heights. Each film was perfect in its own way, from Attackergiddy nostalgia for last year’s adventure templedark and intense action on The Last Crusadereflections on broken families and religion. And then he came Kingdom of the Crystal Skullwhich broke the streak with its flying monkeys and a leather-clad Shia LaBeouf as Indy’s long-lost son, Mutt Williams.

Indy is back, this time without LaBeouf or Steven Spielberg and George Lucas behind the camera. That’s a good thing, since the franchise needed some fresh blood, and it’s getting it in the form Logan from director James Mangold, who knows a thing or two about reviving a dying franchise. There’s no getting around the fact that lead star Harrison Ford is 80 and looks it, but he’s helped along by a lively cast BedPhoebe Waller-Bridge as Indy’s godson, Mads Mikkelsen as (what else?) a German villain, and Antonio Banderas, John Rhys-Davies and Toby Jones as Doctor Jones’ friends. The trailer looks like the film takes place across Europe and at a New York parade, with the usual gun-toting Nazis looking for hidden treasure and threatening our hero. Dial of fate it probably won’t break new ground, but it doesn’t need to; all we ask is that it is better than Crystal skull so that Indy can have a proper send off.

Mission Impossible — Dead Reckoning, Part 1 (July 14)

Mission: Impossible – Reckoning of the Dead Part One | Official Announcement Trailer (2023 Movie) – Tom Cruise

Aside from James Bond, there is no modern action franchise as revered or respected as the Mission Impossible series. First launched in 1996 with the excellent performance of Brian De Palma, the Mission Impossible franchise has become a must-see cinematic event with Ghost Protocol and never looked back. Latest entry, Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning, Part 1it’s so hotly anticipated that Paramount Pictures released a teaser a year before the film’s release just to appease impatient fans and remind everyone why Mission: Impossible is still terrible after all these years.

It worked. The trailer features one jaw-dropping stunt after another, with the usual crew of Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg and Rebecca Ferguson helping everyone’s favorite rogue agent, Ethan Hunt, save the world once again. Christopher McQuarrie, screenwriter/director of the previous two installments, Outlaw nation and Turn out, is coming back, but the glue that holds it all together is Tom Cruise. As Ethan, Cruise goes through all sorts of abuse to satisfy action fans, and that’s what we’ve come to expect from Death Defying Top Gun: Maverick star. With sword fights in Venice, motorbikes chasing runaway trains, shootouts at posh rave parties and Lawrence of Arabia-esque sequence in the empty desert, Dead reckoning, part 1 promises to be the most epic action movie of all time. .. while Dead reckoning, part 2 it arrives in theaters in 2024, of course.
