December is a packed month for movies. Headlining the month is Spider-Man: No Way Home—the fourth and final MCU movie of the year, starring a slew of returning Spidey villains, like Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus, Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin, and Jamie Foxx’s Electro. No Way Home will hit theaters December 17.
Shortly after, get ready to return to The Matrix. Keanu Reeves, Carrie Anne Moss, and director Lana Wachowski are all back for The Matrix: Resurrections, the fourth (technically sixth) film in the beloved sci-fi saga. The film also stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jessica Henwick, Jonathan Groff, Neil Patrick Harris, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and more. Resurrections premieres in theaters and HBO Max on December 22.
Elsewhere, Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story remake arrives. Joel Coen takes on Shakespeare with The Tragedy of Macbeth, starring Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand. The comedy-drama Don’t Look Up, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep, and Kid Cudi, hits Netflix.
