2026 is shaping up to be a huge year for new sci-fi movies — here are the 5 I’m most excited about

New poster for "The Mandalorian and Grogu" movie (2026).

As a sci-fi lover, it’s an understatement to say I’m excited for the rest of 2026. Not only are there some great-looking movies on the way, but the release calendar is packed with sci-fi goodness. A huge chunk of that comes from superhero spectacles like “Supergirl,” “Avengers: Doomsday” and the new “Spider-Man” (all of which I’m hyped for), alongside titles like “Godzilla Minus Zero” and the long-awaited “Masters of the Universe.”

We also can’t forget Ridley Scott’s post-apocalyptic “The Dog Stars,” or J. J. Abrams’ mysterious new sci-fi epic starring Jenna Ortega and Glen Powell. There’s so much going on this year that it’s honestly overwhelming in the best way, because pretty much all of them are on my watchlist. Still, there are a few sci-fi movies I’m especially excited about and need to fangirl over.
