Most Anticipated Upcoming Movies of 2026 and 2027

Half the fun of loving movies is looking forward to them. The next two years are stacked with releases people have been waiting on for a long time — franchise finales, surprise originals and returns from directors at the top of their game. Here's what's coming and why it matters.

The sequels everyone is waiting for

Some stories just aren't finished. The biggest action and fantasy franchises have new chapters lined up, and early buzz suggests studios are swinging big. Keep an eye on our new releases hub — the moment these land and start collecting ratings, they'll show up there.

Original stories worth the risk

It's easy to be cynical about a wall of sequels, but 2026 and 2027 also bring bold originals — the kind of drama and mystery films that become word-of-mouth phenomenons. These are the titles we're quietly most excited about.

Animation grows up

Animation keeps proving it's not just for kids. From studio tentpoles to hand-crafted international features, the upcoming slate of animated movies is ambitious and gorgeous. Don't sleep on this category.

How to never miss a release

New movies get added to Porthub constantly — often within days of release. Bookmark the full catalogue, save films to your watchlist, and check back regularly. Your next favourite film is probably already on the way.
