Fire up the tape deck, Star-Lord is back! The first Marvel movie of the year sees the return of everyone's favorite band of misfits (which also includes Gamora, Drax, and Rocket Raccoon) and as much off-kilter action and humor as there was the first time out. Plus, there's even more Baby Groot as well as Kurt Russell (as Ego the Living Planet, no less). Ooga chaka indeed!
Release Date: May. 12 (US), May 19 (UK), May 11 (AU)
When someone speaks of King Arthur and the legend of the sword, there are pretty much two ways to go – you can do the whole bit with Excalibur being in the stone or you can go with the Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite holding it aloft. This Guy Ritchie-directed movie is opting for the sword in the stone bit. The tale features Arthur (Charlie Hunnam) growing up in the streets, completely unaware of his kingly origins and his uncle, Vortigern (Jude Law), sitting on the throne. The cast also includes Eric Bana, Astrid Bergès-Frisbey, Aidan Gillen, and Djimon Hounsou.
Release Date: May 12 (US), May 19 (UK), May 11 (AU)
Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn star in this comedy-adventure about an impetuous daughter and her ultra-cautious mother who work through their differences after their exotic vacation takes a turn toward the dangerous. Ike Barinholtz, Wanda Sykes and Joan Cusack co-star in this movie from the director of Warm Bodies and The Night Before and the screenwriter of the Ghostbusters reboot.
Release Date: May 19 (US, UK), May 18 (AU)
This is the long-awaited Prometheus sequel, and it promises the return of both Michael Fassbender's David and director Ridley Scott at the helm. The story features a colony ship, Covenant, heading for a planet that they think will be great but actually may hide some dark and terrible secrets (this last shouldn't come as much of a surprise as it wouldn't be an Alien movie if things didn't go very badly). Katherine Waterston and Billy Crudup also star.
Release Date: May 19 (US), May 26 (UK), June 22 (AU)
In Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul, a Heffley family road trip to attend Meemaw's 90th birthday party goes crazily off course thanks to Greg's newest scheme to get to a video gaming convention.

Release Date: May 25 (US), May 12 (UK), May 11 (AU)

Johnny Depp is back as Jack Sparrow for this fifth entry in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. As with previous films, Geoffrey Rush will be reprising the role of Barbossa too. Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg are directing the movie which will see Javier Bardem as the dreaded Captain Salazar, who leads a group of ghost sailors who want to kill every pirate. Naturally, this poses a problem for Jack who sets his sights on the Trident of Poseidon as his one hope for survival. Perhaps against his will, Jack finds help from an astronomer, Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), and a sailor in the Royal Navy, Henry (Brenton Thwaites), to help him on his quest.
