28 Years Later
It’s difficult to believe that it’s been 18 years since the last chapter in Danny Boyle’s iconic series of zombie thrillers. This time around, Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes (along with a rumored appearance from original castmember Cillian Murphy) have all been recruited to stave off the zombie apocalypse. If the film’s predecessors are anything to go by, it’s set to be a masterpiece. In movie theaters from June 20
Fountain of Youth

Plus, look out for other wonders of the acting world, Stanley Tucci and Domhnall Gleeson, who have hilarious cameos. On Apple TV+ from May 23
The Salt Path
Based on the bestselling memoir by British writer Raynor Winn, this exquisite film is a meditation on grief, loss and legacy.

It’s a nod to films like Eat, Pray, Love and Wild, and will make your heart swell with hope. In movie theaters from May 30
Black Bag
The inimitable Cate Blanchett helms this spine-tingling, Mr & Mrs Smith-style spy thriller from director Steven Soderbergh.

Opus
The Bear’s breakout star Ayo Edebiri makes her horror debut in former GQ editor Mark Anthony Green’s first feature film, a twisted tale about a faded pop star named Moretti – played by a brilliantly sinister John Malkovich – who returns to the public eye decades after going missing. There is something of a Midsommar feel to it, as Edebiri (a Moretti superfan) is ushered away to a secluded campsite with a gaggle of fans, where a series of strange events unfolds.
