  11. The Lovebirds (April)

    Emerald Fennell is no stranger to stories about deadly women, vendettas, and violent trauma as the showrunner and writer for ‘Killing Eve’. In her directorial debut, she goes for the same themes, but with a different angle. This film tells the story of Cassie (Carrie Mulligan), a former medical student who hangs out at bars to get drunk while having the tendency to attract sexual predators who take advantage of her. The twist? She’s not what she seems.

  18. Fast & Furious 9 (May)

    It is a closely guarded secret what Dominic Toretto will be up to this time, but Vin Diesel is in the driver’s seat once more together with Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren, Tyrese Gibson, and Nathalie Emmanuel.
