What films are coming out in July 2023?

Insidious: Fear the Dark (July 7)

The fifth Insidious film sees star Patrick Wilson return on camera, and take over the directorial duties behind it. Set 10 years after the original, he brings his son to college when they’re forced to deal once again with the Further.

Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning: Part One (July 14)

The Mission Impossible franchise has, improbably, gotten better with each and every sequel. This seventh film carries not just those expectations into it, but also Tom Cruise’s towering 2022 hit Top Gun: Maverick, and the fact this is the set up for an eighth and, maybe, final Mission next year. It’s a dangerous mission but we choose to accept it.

How Do You Live? (July 14 in Japan)

Breaking protocol a bit here because this movie does not yet have a U.S. release date. But, as it’s the next film from maybe the greatest director of our generation, Hayao Miyazaki, and it’s quite possibly his last film (even though he said that about his previous film, The Wind Rises, in 2013). So we had to put it on here.

Barbie (July 21)

A Barbie movie? That would never work. Unless, of course, you get excellent director Gerta Gerwig who recruits pitch-perfect stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling and then make it a bright pink comedy satire. Or, at least, that’s what we’re imagining this is.

They Cloned Tyrone (July 21 on Netflix)

Described as a “pulpy mystery caper,” They Cloned Tyrone stars John Boyega, Jamie Foxx, and Teyonah Parris as a rag-tag trio hot on the heels of a government conspiracy. This sci-fi comedy is sure to include anime nods and incredible styling, as our only promo image clearly shows.

The Marvels (July 28)

Is this a Captain Marvel sequel? A Ms. Marvel sequel? Will it introduce a third brand new, ass-kicking hero to the mix in the form of Monica Rambeau? Yes yes and oh hell yes. We don’t know much about it beyond that but the brief footage screened last year was riotous, so we can’t wait.
