Fall 2026 movie slate unveils 25 new releases ranging from horror to indie drama
A preview of 25 upcoming theatrical releases for the fall season highlights a mix of blockbusters, indie gems and award-season contenders.
Fall 2026 promises a diverse slate of 25 theatrical releases, beginning with a Resident Evil reboot that ties into the video-game storyline. An indie Japanese musical follows a grieving ballroom dancer, while a satirical thriller sees Tom Cruise portray an oil tycoon in a Dr. Strangelove-style plot. A follow-up to the Facebook biopic adds Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg, and Jessica Chastain leads a horror picture about a sinister closet creature.
A new take on Sense and Sensibility stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and George MacKay, and Martin McDonagh’s dark comedy Wild Horse Nine features John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell. Johnny Depp returns in a grim Christmas drama, and Andrew Scott headlines a biopic of actor Ian Charleson. The schedule also includes projects with Brad Pitt, Timothée Chalamet, Steve Buscemi and other high-profile talent, spanning genres from horror to romance to political satire.
