After writing the 15 most anticipated Chinese movies in 2024, foreign language films can not be missed.
Here are the foreign language films that are most likely to be the number one at the global box office in 2024. Which one would you like?
1. Mickey 17
Mickey 17
South Korean director Bong Joon-ho's new film Mickey 17 will be released in South Korea at the end of March 2024. This is a work released by Beng Junhao five years after Parasite (2019) won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
Mickey 17 is an adaptation of Edward Ashton's science fiction novel Mickey 7 (Mickey7), starring Robert Pattinson (New Batman) and Stephen Yuan (Mineri (2021)).
The original novel "Mickey 7" tells the story of Mickey, a clone who went to explore the territory of a frozen planet. In the future, human clones will be employed to do high-risk tasks. After the death of the clone, the new clone will retain the memory of the last clone intact. The number after "Mickey" indicates the number of clones. Mickey, the adaptation of the film, is set to be reborn 17 times, the details of which have not yet been made public.
The film opened in the UK in August 2023 and finished shooting at the end of December, after which post-production including visual effects will be completed and is expected to be released in South Korea at the end of March.
2. Sand dune 2
Dune: Part Two
The sci-fi blockbuster Dunes 2 (Dune: Part Two), directed and written by Dennis Villenueva, has released a new official trailer. With the opening of the huge war, various forces are surging, which is becoming more and more cruel and dangerous. The picture of the film is also more delicate and will explore more secrets and emotions!
In addition to the return of Sweet Tea, Zandaya and others, famous actors such as Florence Pew ("the Black Widow"), Austin Butler and Leia Seidu have joined!
The first installment of the story of "Dunes 2" will continue to explore the mysterious journey of "chosen son" Paul Etrudi, who teamed up with Cheney and the Fremans to take revenge on the plotters who destroyed his family. Paul Etrudi must choose between the love of his life and the known fate of the universe, and try to stop the cosmic war he foresaw in his dreams.
3. Deadpool 3
Deadpool 3
First of all, this film has confirmed the return of Hugh Jackman version of Wolverine, and it is rumored that there is not only one Wolverine in this film, but also a variant of Wolverine in other universes. Second, Ben Affleck's daredevil, the scarlet witch, and a large number of members of the X-Men series will appear in Deadpool 3.
With such a strong cast of characters, it's really hard to keep the audience from looking forward to Deadpool 3.
Deadpool 3 is also the only superhero blockbuster released in 2024 by Marvel Movie Universe, which is really rare.
In the past few years, Marvel Pictures has released a number of superhero blockbusters every year, and in some years it has even released four films and several TV dramas in succession. Last year and this year, Marvel Pictures' film reputation is getting worse and its box office results are getting worse and worse, which may be the main reason why they will slow down and release only one film next year.
4. Zootopia 2
Zootopia 2: Rise of the Non-Mammalians
Zootopia 2, an animated film directed by Byron Howard, is scheduled for release in North America on November 17, 2024.
The film is a sequel to the animated film Zootopia, which tells the story of police officer Judy Rabbit and his partner Fox Nick continuing to work together to maintain law and order in Zootopia.
5. God steals the nanny 4
Despicable Me 4
A few days ago, Lighting Entertainment confirmed to the outside world that "stealing Daddy 4" will be released on July 3 in the summer of 2024. The film will continue to be voiced by Steve Carrell and Kristen Weiger.
At present, the plot of the film is still unknown. However, according to the layout and human settings of the entire "God stealing Daddy" series, the film will continue to tell the story of Gru being the bad guy. The "God stealing Daddy" series began in 2010, with a super villain as the protagonist to tell the story. Among the films currently released, in addition to two sequels, there are also two foreign stories about the Mini Yellow Man. The scale of a total of five films can be said to be a gathering. In the global plan of the parent company of Lighting Entertainment, there will be more films to follow.
The owner of the whole series, Ungeru, is a very bad but interesting character on the surface. Christopher Murray Dandary, president of the producer Lighting Entertainment, says many stories draw a clear line between good and evil. After watching many of these movies with his son, he found that when he left the theater, the villain was often liked by the audience, so Christopher McRedandry decided to make a movie. Gru's prototype is a classic villain in the James Bond series.
6. Clown 2
Joker: Folie à Deux
The much-anticipated "Joker 2" in 2024 has released two new stills. Harry Quinn, played by Lady Gaga, and Arthur, played by Joaquin Phoenix, will join hands to bring "dichotomous psychosis" to fans. The film was announced in April this year and will be released on October 4, 2024.
Compared with the previous film, this "Clown 2" may change its painting style. According to earlier reports, this "Clown 2" will be a musical, and this is also due to the addition of Lady Gaga. In addition to showing his acting skills in the film, Lady Gaga may also show his singing voice.
"Joker 2" will tell the story of Arthur being arrested in the infamous Arkham asylum after the "clown" incident, where he will be treated by psychotherapist Harry Quinn, who will have a wonderful and romantic relationship with Arthur. This relationship will also trigger a new round of riots in Gotham.
7. Crazy Max: the Fury Goddess
Furiosa
The latest poster for the Mad Max series Mad Max: fury Goddess was released today, featuring Anya Taylor-Joy 's younger version of Furiosa, the villain played by Chris Hemsworth of Hammer, and undead Joe joining hands.
This "Crazy Max: fury Goddess" is a prequel to "Crazy Max 4", not "Crazy Max 5", so Max's character will not appear in this film. The series of prequels will tell fans the furious story of the young version of Fleusha, starring Anya Taylor-Joy.
In Mad Max 4, the role was played by "Cylon Queen" Charlize Theron, who also turned the role into a popular character in the film, which is why the producer developed the single-person prequel film. Although Charlize Theron did not return to star in the prequel film, the Anya Taylor-Joy version of Furiosa is also worth looking forward to.
Another highlight of the film is the villain played by Brother Hammer Chris Hemsworth, which is also the first time that Brother Hammer has played a villain in the film for the first time in many years. I look forward to the wonderful performance of Brother Hammer in the Mad Max: fury Goddess.
8. Venom 3
Venom 3
It is reported that in Venom 3, Tom Hardy returns as the deadly protector of venom. The film is directed by Kelly Marcel and the script is written by Marcel and Hardy.
According to IT House, Venom I was released in 2018 and the second in 2021. The series, produced by Sony Pictures and adapted from Marvel Comics, tells the story of the protagonist being invaded by an alien symbiote and becoming a superhero.
9. Brain Secret Service 2
Inside Out 2
Brain Secret Service 2 will continue to explore human emotions, tell the story of Riley's adolescence, and introduce four negative emotions: anxiety, embarrassment, burnout and jealousy. The film will be released in North America on June 14, 2024.
Over the years, Riley, who moved to the new city, gradually adapted to the current life, and the "mental life" of happiness, sadness, anger, fear and disgust was calm. However, as Riley grew up, everything changed.
After the unprecedented "demolition" and "reconstruction" in the emotional world, the new emotion "Jiao Jiao" fell from the sky, which caught everyone by surprise. In the face of sudden challenges and crises, Ta will set out together to explore the unknown places of the emotional world.
Lord of the Rings: the War of the Rothschild
The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim
Lord of the Rings: the Battle of Rothschild is directed by Kenji Shenshan (Shell attack, Blade Runner: black Lotus), written by Jeffrey Adis & will Matthews (Black Crystal: the era of the Anti-Japanese War), and is closely related to the film trilogy (especially the second Twin Towers), which tells the little-known story behind the Battle of the Holy helmets Valley. Set 183 years before the Lord of the Rings trilogy, it focuses on the life of King Rohan's helmet Hammer and that bloody era.
11. The rise of the Planet of the Apes 4: the New World
