See you at the movies!

Despite the pandemic and closure of movie theaters, we still had a banner year for movies last year. With big blockbuster films like Spider-Man: No Way Home, Free Guy, No Time to Die, and so many others, we were truly spoiled in 2021.

And we're about to be spoiled again (and then some!) in 2022. Here are the 22 most-anticipated movies of 2022, in order of release. (Also: comic book fans, there are a ton of movies to be excited about this year—and we mean A TON!)
