2023 was a banner year for blockbusters, but it was also an unprecedented year of delays. The SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes pushed more than a few blockbusters back, while big studios reshuffled their slates to accommodate a “quality over quantity” approach. It all adds up to 2024 being one of the most interesting years in recent Hollywood history, with Marvel and DC practically taking the next 12 months off while other sci-fi franchises rush to fill the vacuum. From talking apes to tap-dancing supervillains, 2024 will be packed with a variety of takes on the genre.
