 The Equalizer 3: The Final Chapter

Cast

Denzel Washington, Dakota Fanning, Eugenio Mastrandrea, Gaia Scodellaro, and David Denman.

Synopsis

For us action pundits, vigilante justice never gets old, and there is no better version of a hardcore son-of-a-gun, champion of the downtrodden revenger-seeker, than Denzel’s, Robert McCall. And the third instalment in this slick and stylish franchise is coming this year. Don’t mess with the Equalizer.

Release date: 1 September

 Dune: Part Two

Cast

Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Dave Bautista, Stellan Skarsgård, Javier Bardem, Florence Pugh, Lea Seydoux, Austin Butler, and Christopher Walken.

Dune: Part 2 is the second instalment of the Dune film adaptation directed by Denis Villeneuve. The movie continues the story of Paul Atreides and his journey to lead the Fremen against the forces of the Harkonnens and the Emperor of the Known Universe. This one is based on the second half of Frank Herbert's seminal novel, Dune.

The movie is expected to continue exploring the themes of politics, religion, and ecology that were established in the first part, while introducing new characters and conflicts, and all in the desolate, sandworm-ridden backdrop of the spice planet.

Release date: 3 November
