Following an escape from his incarceration, supervillain Maxine Le Mal (Will Ferrell – Elf, The Other Guys) and his girlfriend Valentina (Sofía Vergara – Modern Family, Chef) seek revenge on Gru (Steve Carrell – The Office, Crazy Stupid Love) and his family, including his baby son. Gru is forced to relocate where they meet their new neighbours, the Prescott’s, and their daughter Poppy, who join forces to even the odds.
Promising hilarious-fun and a healthy dose of minion-fuelled mayhem, Despicable Me 4 looks to be the family blockbuster of the year.

Then, from Fri 19 Jul, we welcome the long-anticipated Twisters to our screens – marking the return of Lee Isaac Chung to the director’s chair since 2020’s beautiful Minari.
As storm season intensifies, the paths of former storm chaser Kate Cooper (Daisy Edgar Jones – Normal People, Where the Crawdads Sing) and reckless social media superstar Tyler Owens (Glen Powell – Top Gun: Maverick, Anyone But You) collide when terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed over central Oklahoma. Acting as a standalone sequel to 1996’s Twister, the disaster-thriller focuses on nature at its most cataclysmic, and coupled with Top Gun: Maverick’s director Joseph Kosinski writing the original story, it promises to be an epic big-screen spectacle.
Check out the electrifying trailer for Twisters.

Rounding out the month, from Thu 25 Jul, we welcome back Hugh Jackman’s (The Greatest Showman, Prisoners) iconic character for (surely?) his last big screen appearance, with Deadpool & Wolverine.
Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds – The Proposal, Free Guy) now lives a quiet life after the events of Deadpool 2, however, the Time Variance Authority pulls him into a new mission, and with his home universe facing an existential threat, Wilson joins an even more reluctant Wolverine on a mission that will change the history of the MCU. Last sharing the screen since their iconic fight in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine; these best of enemies promise to provide the action blockbuster of the Summer.
