With a lot of this year’s movies being pushed out of the schedule due to guild strikes, it seems like 2024 is shaping up to be a pretty big year for films. There are some much-talked-about awards favourites, exciting superhero returns and plenty of movies hitting streaming to keep you entertained at your home movie night.
Coming off a huge year of movies in 2023, can 2024 possibly compete? Let’s take a look at the list.
Major movie releases to look forward to in 2024

The Fall Guy
Many Aussies will probably remember the commotion earlier this year when the Sydney Harbour Bridge was closed due to filming on Ryan Gosling’s latest film. In 2024, we’ll be able to see the results of all that traffic!
The Fall Guy is an action-comedy starring Gosling as a past-his-prime stuntman who finds himself working on a film set as a stunt double. When the star goes missing he decides to investigate their disappearance.
As well as Gosling, The Fall Guy stars Emily Blunt, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Stephanie Hsu and Hannah Waddingham.

Inside Out 2
Nearly a decade after the first movie, Pixar is returning to one of its classic properties in 2024, with Inside Out 2.
A direct sequel to the first film, Inside Out 2 will follow Riley as she enters her teenage years. Not much else is known except that there will be some new emotions on board, which will no doubt be as relatable as the last group.
