There are already so many reasons to be excited about the upcoming 2026 movies schedule, and we are barely even halfway through the upcoming 2025 movies schedule. I am not just talking about the upcoming Marvel movies and the upcoming DC movies, either.

There is plenty more in the world of cinema to look forward to next year outside of the upcoming superhero movies, including upcoming horror movies and, if you prefer your thrills less frightening, upcoming action movies. Take a look at all the year 2026 will have to offer on the big screen in the following guide.

JANUARY 2026 MOVIE RELEASES

The year starts off with some fun thrills in January 2026, which sees the release of a new sci-fi movie called SOULM8TE, spun-off from M3GAN, director Nia DaCosta’s 28 Years Later follow-up, The Bone Temple, and Sam Raimi’s return to horror with the survival thriller, Send Help.
