New film releases 2022 – your calendar for all the upcoming release dates
There's still a lot to look forward to in 2022 from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness to Avatar 2.
We're just about a third of the way into the year and we've already seen some terrific films released so far, from ambitious revenge epics like The Northman to charming adventure romances like The Lost City – not to mention massive blockbusters such as The Batman.
And the good news is that there is still a lot to look forward to for the rest of 2022, with some exciting new films in a range of different genres and styles.
May is looking like a particularly good month if you're a fan of multiverse movies: not only is the latest film in the MCU – Sam Raimi's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness – released at the start of the month, but there's also epic new sci-fi flick Everything Everywhere All at Once as well.
Moving into June and July there's everything from new Pixar flick Lightyear to Baz Luhrmann's Elvis biopic, while Jordan Peele is back with what looks to be an intriguing third feature titled Nope.
And there are some huge films towards the end of the year as well – including the long-awaited release of the first Avatar sequel, 13 years after the original broke box office records around the world.
