Be on the lookout for these new releases and events in the coming months.
“Avatar: The Way of Water”
James Cameron’s 2009 science fiction epic was one of the most effective uses ever of 3-D photography in capturing the alien world of Pandora and its indigenous inhabitants, the blue, 10-foot-tall Na’vi. Cameron is now back with the first of four projected sequels, much of which is set underwater. (In addition to blockbusters, Cameron has also directed documentaries about deep-sea exploration, so he is in his element.)
Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana recreate their roles, while Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Lang also return, even though their characters died in the first film (this is science fiction, after all). Joining the cast is Kate Winslet, who starred in Cameron’s “Titanic” and now gets, once again, to tread water. Opens December 16.

“Black Adam”
The DC Comics character, who originated in ancient Egypt, is in contemporary times a supervillain (though he may just simply be misunderstood), and a target of the Justice League of America. Dwayne Johnson stars. Things explode. Opens October 21.
“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”
How do you follow the incredible popular and critical success of “Black Panther” after the death of star Chadwick Boseman? The responsibility of continuing the superhero’s legacy, and filling the shoes of King T’Challa, falls to his sister, Princess Shuri (Letitia Wright). Director Ryan Coogler returns. Opens November 11.
“Halloween Ends”
This latest slasher film in the “Halloween” franchise, begun in 1978 by director John Carpenter, is the 13th and (supposedly) final installment in which the mask-wearing Michael Myers once again wreaks havoc, this time with Jamie Lee Curtis returning as Laurie Strode, who’d survived the first film, barely. Will this sequel be lucky 13? Debuts October 14 in theaters and streaming via Peacock.
“The Fabelmans”
Steven Spielberg’s family drama, a nostalgic movie à clef that looks back at his parents and his beginnings as an aspiring filmmaker, won the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this month – as have five other recent Best Picture Oscar-winners. “The Fabelmans” stars Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, Seth Rogan, and Mateo Zoryna Francis-Deford and Gabriel LaBelle as the young and teenaged Sammy Fabelman, whose life is changed once he gets his hands on some 8mm film stock.
