My 30 most anticipated movies of 2023 are listed below in release date order.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is my most anticipated film of 2023, followed by Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, The Marvels, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, Matthew Vaughn’s Argylle, and Gareth Edwards’ True Love.
Community Movie was originally going to be my most anticipated film of 2023, but it starts filming later this summer, so its release date is now very likely sometime in 2024.
About 16 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.
