What movies are coming in December 2022?

Violent Night (December 2)

David Harbour plays Santa Claus who, while going to houses on Christmas Eve, finds a family that is being held hostage. How dare someone do that to a family Christmas? So Santa gets pissed and violent.

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio (December 9 on Netflix)

Let us all be grateful there’s only one Pinocchio that was released this year and it’s a creepy-stop motion animated version by Guillermo del Toro. Yup. Only one Pinocchio here! And this is the trailer.

Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical (December 9 on Netflix)

The popular novel turned movie turned award-winning stage musical gets a feature film adaptation (of the musical) you probably didn’t even know was happening.

Avatar: The Way of Water (December 16)

A sequel over a decade in the making, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) now have children and must traverse new areas of Pandora to keep them, and the Na’vi people, safe. It’s easy to be cynical about it but never bet against James Cameron. The trailer is above.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (December 21)

I’ve seen this trailer so many times I just assumed the film was out already. Alas, it’s not, and it’s the story of what happens when the famous fighting cat comes down to his last of nine lives.
