Every Sci-Fi Movie Releasing In 2022
Here's every sci-fi movie releasing in 2022. It's a rewarding time to be a sci-fi fan; Star Trek is back on television and (arguably) doing better than ever thanks to Discovery and Picard. Meanwhile, storytellers like Alex Garland continue to churn out original series like Devs and film buffs have the upcoming (smart) sci-fi blockbusters Dune and The Matrix Resurrections to look forward to. On top of all that, 2022 is currently loaded with long-awaited sci-fi projects like the third installment of the Jurassic World trilogy. and what will supposedly be the first of a whopping four followups to James Cameron's 2009 mega-blockbuster Avatar.
With the release calendar still a bit in flux as the coronavirus pandemic sadly rages on, 2022 is chock-full with sci-fi movies in general - and that number will only grow if anything else proves unable to hit its current date in 2021. Big movies are filling up the 2022 release calendar, and most of them fall under the jurisdiction of the superhero and/or fantasy genres. At the same time, there are also a number of superhero projects coming out which ground their mythology squarely in sci-fi tropes (be it advanced technology, aliens from another planet, or advanced alien technology from another planet).
Naturally, there are a few movies coming out in 2022 which blur the line between sci-fi and fantasy. But even outside of those, there's still plenty to talk about when it comes to the films sci-fi fanatics can look forward to checking out sometime within the next year. So, here's every sci-fi movie currently set to open in 2022.
Morbius - January 28, 2022
Originally slated to open in theaters on July 10, 2020, Morbius has been delayed a whopping five times on its way the current January 28, 2022 date, mostly thanks to Coronavirus concerns. Jared Leto stars as the titular scientist turned living vampire, in this third entry into Sony's universe of Marvel characters related to Spider-Man. There's some MCU crossover though, as Michael Keaton reprises his role of Vulture.
Moonfall - February 4, 2022
The latest sci-fi disaster film from director Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow), Moonfall probably won't be everyone's cup of tea, but should provide some action-packed thrills. Halle Berry stars as NASA executive Jo Fowler, who when the moon gets knocked into a collision course with Earth, believes she has the key to mankind's survival. The trouble is, few believe her, leading to a three-person space mission to stop the impact.
Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness - March 25, 2022
Over five years after his solo debut, Benedict Cumberbatch's sorcerer supreme gets a sequel with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. As usual for Marvel, little is known about the sequel this far out from release, but Scarlet Witch will join the fun, and Spider-Man trilogy director Sam Raimi is taking over the helm from Scott Derrickson for what's being touted as the MCU's closest thing to a horror movie.
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 - April 8, 2022
After a debut movie in 2020 that proved more successful than just about anyone imagined it would, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 sees the blue alien hedgehog chilling in his new home on Earth, at least until the newly named Dr. Eggman returns from exile with new pal Knuckles. This leaves Sonic and best friend Tails to duke it out with the former Robtnik and his echidna partner before the bad guys can obtain a Chaos Emerald.
