Marvel's highly-anticipated sequel in the Black Panther story will see stars such as Lupita Nyong'o, Angela Bassett and Letitia Wright all reprise their roles, as well as welcome new stars such as Michaela Coel.

The Menu
Release date: 19 November in cinemas
The Menu stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult and Ralph Fiennes – so it's bound to be a hit. The film is described as a dark comedy/thriller and tells the story of a young, good-looking couple who pay a visit to a highly exclusive restaurant on a remote island name Hawthorne. There, they come across top chef, Slowik, who prepares some unconventional dishes with some shocking results.

Matilda the Musical
Release date: 25 November on Netflix
We all know and love the classic Roald Dahl story and we still love watching the 1996 hit film which starred Mara Wilson, Danny DeVito and Rhea Pearlman, but if the trailer for the 2022 musical remake is anything to go by, this version will be brilliant.
Emma Thompson will take on the role of Miss Trunchbull – and we can't get over how different she looks. Stephen Graham and Lashana Lynch also star.

Discussing what to expect from the sequel, producer Jon Landau told EW: "Ultimately, the sequels are a story about family, and the lengths parents will go through to keep that family together and keep them safe. I always say that Jim's movies have universal themes — and really, there's no more universal theme than family."
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
Release date: late 2022 in cinemas and Netflix
If you loved Rian Johnson's 2019 release Knives Out, then make sure you keep an eye out for her follow-up titled Glass Onion. The first movie was hailed for its brilliant whodunnit plot and stellar ensemble cast consisting of Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lakeith Stanfield and Toni Collette (to name but a few) and the sequel has an equally dazzling cast.
