The best new movies of 2019 – the films you need to see this year
This year promises to be a truly huge 12 months in movies. So big, in fact, that our most anticipated movies of 2019 has become an ever-growing list. Whether it’s Disney’s three live-action remakes (‘The Lion King’, ‘Aladdin’ and ‘Dumbo’), the epic finale of a superhero era (‘Avengers: Endgame’), another instalment of a giant science fiction space opera (‘Star Wars: Episode IX’) or the return of some old favourites (‘Toy Story 4’), there are some enormous films for you to sink your teeth into.
Of course, it’s not all big-budget beasts. Another music biopic comes our way with ‘Rocketman’, this time focused on the life of Elton John, ‘Hereditary’ director Ari Aster returns with ‘Midsommar’, a tale of a festival gone awry, and ‘Get Out’s Jordan Peele is back with more zeitgeisty horror beats thanks to ‘Us’. There’s even the long rumoured ‘Downton Abbey’ film. So get the popcorn ready: here are the most anticipated films of 2019.
