Chris Hemsworth’s Tyler Rake is also alive and well, and Extraction 2 is set to continue his adventures. The film already has the longest stunt department crew list of the year, and is expected to be Evans’ return to the highest levels of cinematic brutality. Little is known about Havoc aside from the fact that Tom Hardy stars as a cop fighting his way through the criminal underworld. In the meantime, the latter’s new film is scheduled to drop on the platform in the coming weeks. The streaming giant has been on the mind of every action fan lately with the announcement of a forthcoming The Raid remake produced by Michael Bay and original director Gareth Evans. Statham will also star in his own fun-looking actioner, the Guy Ritchie-directed Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre which, after the unexpected success that was Wrath of Man last year, could very well surprise viewers more than one might have thought possible for a Ritchie joint. It’s always a pleasure to see the Stallone-Statham-Lundgren trio back together on the screen, and the addition of amazing martial artists such as Tony Jaa and Iko Uwais seems like a good thing. While the third film left a lot to be desired, one can hope the team can salvage the series with less winky-winky dialogue and more competent action. On the Stallone side of things, his franchise will make a comeback with The Expendables 4. Cruise will also headline Top Gun: Maverick, this time directed by Joseph Kosinski. ![]() Tom Cruise and the Mission: Impossible team will be back, still with Christopher McQuarrie at the helm of the seventh installment. The boys are back in townĪside from the main superhero and sci-fi tentpole events, Hollywood also has a couple of wild cards up its sleeve with the return of old action stars. ![]() And, of course, James Cameron’s Avatar 2 is finally coming out at the end of the year. ![]() Other blockbusters that could prove interesting include Ambulance (where it seems Michael Bay has discovered drones) and Bullet Train (the next outing from David Leitch and 87North, known for John Wick, Atomic Blonde, and Nobody), telling the story of five assassins on a bullet train who discover their missions have something in common. It’s also hard not to eagerly await Matt Reeves’ version of The Batman despite the character’s ubiquity - with its stacked cast and gorgeous trailers, the film could end up being one the year’s biggest events. Aside from the expected MCU installments like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder, it’s the animated sequel Across the Spider-Verse, due this fall, that looks like it could be the most likely to embrace the wonder and the unexpected. Hollywood is back in full swing despite ongoing pandemic-related obstacles, and both Marvel and DC have multiple superhero blockbusters coming this year.
