Hunt is forced to consider that the mission is more important than the people he loves most. People all over the world are waiting for Ethan Hunt’s story to be completed in The Dead Reckoning.
Karate Kid: Legends is another movie to watch this summer, coming to theaters on May 30. It stars Jackie Chan as Mr. Han, Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso, and Ben Wang as Li Fong. It follows Li Fong, who moves to New York with his mom, as he struggles to fit in at his new school. With his new friends’ help, Fong enters a karate competition, but he is not good enough yet. With help from Mr. Han and Daniel LaRusso, Fong masters his skills. There are no more confirmed Karate Kid productions, but there are many unfinished parts of the story that might come to the big screen in the future.
Finally, Superman 2025 is a thriller coming out this year. It will be released on July 11 and stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent (AKA Superman) and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, the antagonist. This will be Corenswet’s first time playing the role of Superman, and he has big shoes to fill, following in Henry Cavill’s footsteps. The movie will take place when Clark Kent is fully grown, and he will once again have to protect Metropolis from Lex Luthor. Critics have tried to predict the plot, but little has been revealed by the studio besides in the trailer, which shows that Superman’s dog will make many appearances. Additionally, the studio revealed that this movie will have a completely different plot from the 2013 movie, Man of Steel.
Summer is only a few weeks away, so it is the perfect time to start buying a ticket to one of these movies before they begin to sell out.
