With the recent release of <em>Avengers: Endgame<\/em>, 2019 has already proven to be an exciting year for film. Here is a look at some of the upcoming cinema releases expected for 2019 that we just can\u2019t wait for:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Pok\u00e9mon Detective Pikachu <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It seems incredible that we\u2019ve had to wait until 2019 for a live action Pok\u00e9mon film, but we\u2019re finally going to see those cuddly, and occasionally deadly, creatures come to life on the big screen. Starring Ryan Reynolds as the voice of Pikachu, this fantasy mystery film is about a Pok\u00e9mon trainer meeting a talking Pikachu that once belonged to his father. Together they set about solving the mystery of what happened to him. Based on a 2016 game, the trailers have proved to be popular with fans who can\u2019t wait to see these wonderful creatures in all their live action glory.<\/p>\n<p>The release date for <em>Pok\u00e9mon: Detective Pikachu<\/em> is 10th May 2019.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1roy4o4tqQM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Aladdin<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The next in a string of Disney animated films to be given a live action re-boot, the tale of <em>Aladdin<\/em> is about an Arabian street urchin who finds a magic lamp containing a genie. Starring relatively unknown actor Mena Massoud as Aladdin and Hollywood superstar Will Smith as the genie, the newest live action film from Disney\u2019s line-up finished filming in January 2018 and is directed by Guy Ritchie.<\/p>\n<p>The release date for <em>Aladdin<\/em> is 24th May 2019.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/foyufD52aog?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Men in Black: International <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sequels are certainly the film flavour for 2019 it seems with this upcoming addition to the <em>Men in Black <\/em>franchise. <em>Men in Black: International <\/em>takes us back to the world of agents in suits investigating aliens and flashing away people\u2019s memories, but this time it\u2019s set in London and stars Chis Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson.

However, the recent release of the <em>Toy Story 4 <\/em>trailer suggests that this series is not in danger of going the way of <em>Shrek <\/em>or <em>Ice Age<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>This adventure will tell the tale of Forky, a plastic spork brought to life by Bonnie, the child Woody and the gang are now in the procession of, who struggles with an existential crisis about being a toy. Along the way, we encounter a beloved character that was missing from the last instalment: Bo Peep, who has been given a chic, updated makeover and new outlook on life.

Based on Stephen King\u2019s 1986 horror novel of the same name, the story of <em>It<\/em> follows a group of kids, known as the Loser\u2019s Club, as they are terrorised by an ancient evil that preys on the children of Derry, Maine, using the powers of shapeshifting. It primarily appears as the creepy Pennywise the Dancing Clown.<\/p>\n<p>Part two follows the same children, now adults, in their second encounter with It on their return to Derry as they set about to put an end to the evil once and for all. The first instalment was a hit, grossing over $700 million worldwide and ranking as the highest-grossing horror film of all time; this year we\u2019ll find out if the part two is just as well received.<\/p>\n<p>The release date for <em>It: Chapter Two <\/em>is 6th September 2019.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M4_NFYeXVCU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Joker <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In this new re-telling of the story of Batman\u2019s most infamous rival, Joaquin Phoenix is set to play the Joker in this tale of his origin.
