Coming soon to the big screen

Spoiler alert! The coronavirus has thrown a spanner in the reel of many cinematic productions this year, but there’s still a big ol’ trailer full of exciting titles scheduled for release in 2020

TENET

The mind of Christopher Nolan is a beautiful thing to behold. And we’ve seen it entertainingly unweave in movies like Inception, Memento, Interstellar, The Dark Knight Trilogy and Dunkirk over the past two decades. His latest project, Tenet, is set for release next month, stars John David Washington and Robert Pattinson, and revolves around a mission to prevent World War III. From the trailer, and Nolan’s track record, we should expect this film to give precisely zero care for the conventional understanding of time and space.

Expected release date: July 17, 2020

MULAN

Next up in Disney’s live-action remake campaign, is Mulan. Starring Liu Yifei in the titular role, Mulan is the tale of a young girl who disguises herself as a man so she can be drafted into the Chinese army in place of her ill father. Set around AD 600, Mulan as her male alter ego, Hua Jun, is immediately plunged into the dangerous world of the imperial legions where she must find the strength to prove herself and rise above some pretty toxic masculinity. The original animated version of the story is, for us, probably one of the most underrated Disney movies — although sadly, Eddie Murphy will not reprise his comedic highlight voice role as Mishu the dragon. Some good news though, we’ve heard a rumour that McDonald’s might be bringing back their Rick Sanchez endorsed Mulan Szechuan sauce to coincide with the release.

Expected release date: July 24, 2020
