Much like my previous post of 2019 movies this 2020 movies list is also over a year late.
I shared this list in early January 2020 only on forums and never got around to posting it on my old blog site.
I now decided to post the original list without major edits as a What If list of movies which would have been released in 2020 if not for the pandemic. Along with their original release dates / status, I have added the different release dates that were assigned to those movies throughout the year.
Denis Villeneuve’s Dune was my most anticipated film of 2020, followed by Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho, Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, David Fincher’s Mank, and Pixar’s Soul.
My 30 most anticipated movies of 2020 are listed below in release date order.
About 19 movies in my list are not based on existing big franchises and they are marked with an asterisk. They are either from an original screenplay or based on a book.
You can click on the release dates to view the trailers.
