What films are coming out in May 2024?

The Fall Guy (May 3)

This isn’t technically an io9 movie, but we are just so excited to see this Ryan Gosling/Emily Blunt Hollywood-centric action adaptation from David Leitch—whose other credits include John Wick, Bullet Train, and Deadpool 2—we had to put it on the list.

Horrorscope (May 10)

Think Final Destination, but with horoscopes.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (May 10)

With the previous Apes trilogy coming to a close a few years back, director Wes Ball is here to once again pick up the story. Set decades after the most recent films, but still well before the events of the 1967 original, apes now rule, but some humans do survive.

The Strangers: Chapter 1 (May 17)

Director Renny Harlin (Deep Blue Sea, Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger) directs the first of three new films set in the universe created by 2008’s The Strangers. Here, a couple who gets stranded on a road trip is hunted by three people in masks.

If (May 17)

Office star and Quiet Place director John Krasinksi is back with his most ambitious project yet: a big-budget family film about a man (Ryan Reynolds) trying to save an unseen world where the imaginary friends of kids actually exist.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (May 24)

May 24 will be a lovely, lovely day indeed as legendary filmmaker George Miller returns to the world of Mad Max with this prequel to his masterpiece, Mad Max: Fury Road. This time the story focuses on that film’s best character, Furiosa, as we learn how and why she became the badass she is.

The Garfield Movie (May 24)

Animated cat voiced by Chris Pratt eats lasagna, hilarity ensues.
