The holiday season is over and Oscar season is in full swing, which can only mean one thing: it’s time to start looking ahead to the most anticipated movies of 2019. This year is looking to be a big one for films, with some long-awaited sequels finally hitting theaters, and some much-anticipated movies finally making their way to the big screen. Here are the top ten most anticipated movies of 2019:
10. Aladdin
Disney’s live-action retelling of Aladdin is one of the most highly anticipated movies of 2019. The original animated film is a beloved classic, and fans are curious to see how this new version will compare. Will Will Smith be able to fill the shoes of the Genie? Only time will tell.
9. The Lion King
Disney is at it again with another live-action retelling of one of their classic animated films. This time, it’s The Lion King. The original film is one of the most beloved animated films of all time, so there is a lot of pressure for this live-action version to live up to the original.
8. Toy Story 4
Toy Story 4 has been in the works for years, and fans are finally going to get to see it in 2019. The first three Toy Story films are some of the best animated films ever made, so there is a lot of pressure for this fourth film to be just as good.
7. Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel is one of the most highly anticipated films of 2019, not just because it is a Marvel movie, but because it is also the first Marvel film with a female lead. Brie Larson is taking on the role of Captain Marvel, and fans are eager to see what she will bring to the role.
6. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is one of the most highly anticipated films of 2019, not just because it is a Quentin Tarantino film, but because it is also a star-studded cast.

5. Joker
Joker is one of the most highly anticipated films of 2019, not just because it is a DC Comics film, but because it is also a standalone Joker origin story. The film will focus on the Joker’s early years, and will be different from any other Joker story that has been told before.
4. Avengers: Endgame
Avengers: Endgame is one of the most highly anticipated films of 2019, not just because it is a Marvel movie, but because it is also the culmination of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.
