There's a few more big movies releasing this year, but the ones listed below are those I am excitingly awaiting the most:
John Wick 2
Keanu Reeves proved without a doubt with the first one that he was a badass on a vengeance towards those who hurt his little doggy, having an uncountable killing spree of uncountable amounts of headshots, Similar to Taken(2008), John Wick is a guilty unrealistic pleasure, and the sequel should follow suit.
Alien: Covenant
Not sure why they, or Ridley Scott dropped the Prometheus title with this new upcoming one, but I also wonder how far they can milk the origins of the xenomorphs we know and love from Alien(1979) and Aliens(1986)? Consider me interested, carefully though.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
If this second volume has the same tone and same amount of humor like the original, then I will definitely enjoy this very much. I still know nothing else about Guardians of the Galaxy other than the movie, but that doesn't matter, I can feel that Vol. 2 will rock our pants!
Blade Runner 2049
Another Ridley Scott IP, Blade Runner will finally get a sequel after it's remixed versions like the Director's and Final cuts, and it will star a new protagonist, who will most likely pick up where Harrison Ford ended. Frankly, I am not the biggest fan of the much acclaimed sci-fi, but the dystopian cyber punk setting is always interesting to have plots play in, and production values sure have changed since 1982.
Kong: Skull Island
The original King Kong from 1933 will always be groundbreaking, innovative and mind blowing for it's time and even now, and I really liked the 2005 remake as well. Considering that Godzilla has recently been rejuvenated, it wouldn't hurt to reboot the original kong again as well, and hopefully we can finally get a grand spectacle Kaiju VS. feature between the two iconic monsters.
The Dark Tower
Considered as Stephen King's biggest project, The Dark Tower is split up between several book chapters, and is often praised widely by the community. Honestly, those two reasons alone are enough to draw me in, except that I also know that the majority of King's movie adaptations have been received successfully as well. Considering that it's a sequel, I hope that I will understand it despite not having read the eight books.
War for the Planet of the Apes
This reboot series has been great so far, with two exceptional titles already out. Sure the title is a bit silly, but I'm sure that the battlefields between humans and apes will be stunning to see, as I know that these apes are not to be messed with, especially with Andy Serkis leading them.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle
This was a surprise to me, Kingsman is like a modern James Bond take on the super spy agent formula, and I especially really liked the action sequences unfold, the British accents and Samuel L.Jackson goofing around.
Despicable Me 3
Gru and his minions have been great to witness during the previous entries and the spin-off, and Illumination Entertainment has made the competition and world of the current computer animation flicks more interesting. Bring on part 3!
Saw: Legacy
There used to be a time when a Saw movie would release anually. Now after 7 years, a new entry is finally coming out, and as a personal huge fan of all of them, I can't wait to see how they will interpret Saw's Legacy, literally as a franchise, and figuratively as the plot thickens further.
Star Wars Episode VIII
The biggest no-brainer of this whole list, what can I say about Episode VIII? The things I hope that the team will do is that they will give us original content and a new direction, and that it will dare to go even higher with it's overall quality, maybe perhaps reaching the legendary status of IV and V's objective receptions.
