2017 was a great year for movies in our house. The Last Jedi, Coco, Cars 3, Dead Men Tell no Tales, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, are just a few of our favorites. And it looks like this year is going to be pretty epic too. The 2018 Walt Disney Studios movie slate has 10 movies I cannot wait to see. It’s a great time to not only be a Disney fan, but a Star Wars, and Marvel one too. Eek! There are a few on this list I have been waiting years for, and I bet you have too.
Black Panther #BlackPanther
Black Panther picks up after Civil War, as T’Challa returns home to Wakanda to take his rightful place as king. He quickly learns that not everyone in his country is backing him as king. Shifts in leadership are never easy, and T’Challa is facing enemies both abroad and at home. He must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people.

A Wrinkle in Time #WrinkleInTime
Meg Murry is a typical middle school student struggling with issues of self-worth who just wants to fit in. The daughter of two world-renowned physicists, she is intelligent and uniquely gifted, as is Meg’s younger brother, Charles Wallace, but she has yet to realize it for herself. Complicating matters is the mysterious disappearance of Mr. Murry, which has left Meg devastated and her mother broken-hearted.
Charles Wallace introduces Meg and her fellow classmate Calvin to three celestial beings (Mrs. Which, Mrs. Whatsit and Mrs. Who) who have journeyed to Earth to help search for their father, and together they embark on their formidable quest. Travelling via a wrinkling of time and space known as tessering, they are transported to worlds beyond their imagination where they must confront a powerful evil force. To make it back home to Earth, Meg must face the darkness within herself in order to harness the strength necessary to defeat the darkness rapidly enveloping the Universe.

Incredibles 2 #Incredibles2
Our favorite family of Supers are back. This time, Helen is in the spotlight, leaving Bob at home with the kids, Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack. Bob is trying to navigate the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life. It’s a tough transition for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack’s emerging superpowers.
When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone must find a way to work together again—which is easier said than done, even when they’re all Incredible.

It’s there that Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip , a gang of mice, and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers, and Land of Sweets.

Mary Poppins Returns #MaryPoppinsReturns
We love, Love, LOVE the books and the first film. Seeing Mary back on the big screen is so exciting! In this original musical sequel, Mary, Emily Blunt, and her friend Jack, Lin-Manuel Miranda, an optimistic street lamplighter, embark on entirely new adventures with the next generation of the Banks family to help them find the joy and wonder missing in their lives.
All of the movies look good!
Will be interesting to the Mary Poppins. That was the very first movie I ever saw as a child in the movie theaters. Yes I am old.
OMG, so many amazing movies coming. I cannot wait for a Wrinkle in Time. So many of my fave actors and such an amazing story. Eeeek! It can’t come soon enough.
I am excited in so many of these as well. That Avengers movie looks so cool–when I saw the preview and saw the Guardians of the Galaxy gang, I squealed. We’ll also be sure to see Solo, as we love all things Star Wars.
I’m excited to see most of these also. I didn’t know they were doing another Mary Poppins. That is going to be great.
Oh My gosh these all are on my list to see. It seems like they are flying out and I don’t want to get behind the eight ball lol. Great list Ash!
I am so excited for The Incredibles 2 and The Nutcracker. Both of them look like awesome movies and I loved the original Incredibles movie.
These are all awesome movies! My son is excited about most of them but I’m most excited for A Wrinkle in Time because I wanna see Oprah lol.
Oh wow, I did not know all of these were coming out this year. I am so excited for the Nutcracker, Incredible 2 and of course Mary Poppins! Can you tell I have small children? We only get to the movies if the kids are with us, and I love every minute of the kids movies. 🙂

so many movies that I want to see. This is going to be good year for Disney and Marvel.
Enjoyed your post! Ant Man Vs The Wasp!! Awwwwwlrighty then!
Babushka was around when the original Mary Poppins premiered. Needless to say it has a very special in BB’s corazon, especially since The Grands love it too. They even had it memorized!! Mixed feelings about a sequel, but since Lin is in it, BB can’t be too sad. ; ) BB2U
I am so far out of the “what’s hot at the movies” loop anymore. This list is wonderful, now I’m excitedly anticipating Mary Poppins and The Incredible 2….YES!!!
I’m looking forward to the Nutcracker! Always fun to enjoy new flicks!
Goodness! Dead Men Tell no Tales, Wonder Woman and Thor ragnarok were three of my favorites from 2017. I can’t wait to see Avengers: Infinity War this year! Like you, I’ve been waiting for a while.
I am waiting for these movies as well, especially Avengers.
Christopher Robin!!!! I didn’t know about that one. So many good movies ahead!
Eagerly waiting for Black Panther, Avengers and Incredibles 2. Excited to watch.
