The final weekend of March 2026 is upon us — and it hasn't exactly gifted us many new movies to watch at our local theaters.

Indeed, there's only Warner Bros' action-horror film They Will Kill You to enjoy on the new releases front. So, if those genres aren't your idea of a good time and you've seen every other new movie that March has had to offer, you're best holding onto your cash for April and beyond.

There are plenty of new movies to enjoy in the months to come, too — and I've rounded up the biggest ones that'll debut on a big screen near you in this guide. So, read on to see what else you can look forward to between now and the end of June.

New movies: March

They Will Kill You

Watch On

Release date: out now (worldwide)

Zazie Beetz leads an all-star cast in this action-black comedy horror that, based on its 71% Rotten Tomatoes (RT) critical score, is the wild ride that its trailer promised it would be.

They Will Kill You sees Beetz play Asia, a woman who responds to a 'help wanted' ad to be the new housekeeper of an enigmatic New York high-rise called The Virgil. It doesn't take long, however, for Beetz's protagonist to learn that it's home to a demonic cult. Cue our titular character having to fight her way out of The Virgil or become the cult's next sacrificial offering. Myha’La, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Patricia Arquette also star.

The sequel to the billion dollar-making The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the next Nintendo film to hit theaters will introduce more characters, worlds, and Easter eggs to fans new and old in early April.

After defeating Bowser last time around, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will see Mario and company embark on a new quest to thwart Baby Bowser's plan to rescue his father and save the day once more.

The Drama

Release date: April 3 (worldwide)

The first of three new movies that Zendaya and Robert Pattinson will star in this year, The Drama is a black comedy romantic film that I fully expect to be a big hit.

In it, the A-listers play Emma and Charlie, a couple who are days away from marrying the other. However, when a dark secret from Emma's past emerges, it completely changes the way that they see each other and threatens to destroy their 'happy ever after' moment. Kristoffer Borgli is on directing duties, while Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, and Hailey Gates are part of its supporting roster.

Undertone

Release date: out now (US and other territories); April 10 (UK)

The latest in a long line of A24-produced horror films, Undertone will aim to scare you silly with its precision use of sound to really unsettle viewers.

Nina Kiri stars as Evy, a paranormal sceptic and podcast co-host who seemingly finds herself at the mercy of a horrifying supernatural entity after purposefully listening to 10 recordings of an otherworldly presence back-to-back. Which, as any right-minded person will tell you, you shouldn't do.

With a positive 72% RT critical rating, Undertone could've been another horror hit for A24. Unfortunately, general cinephiles have been less kind, with its 51% audience score proving as much.

You, Me, and Tuscany

YOU, ME & TUSCANY | Official Trailer - YouTube YOU, ME & TUSCANY | Official Trailer - YouTube
Watch On

Release date: April 10 (worldwide)

From Universal Pictures, this traditional rom-com stars Haelle Bailey as Anna, a young, spirited cook who heads to Tuscany on a whim to live in a villa owned by a man named Lorenzo (Marco Calvani) who she barely knows. Cue a tale of misadventures, love, and deceit, especially when Anna soon falls for Lorenzo's cousin Michael (Rene-Jean Page).

A film that bears all the hallmarks of a being a saccharine story that genre fans will love, but others will probably want to steer clear of.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy

Watch On

Release date: April 17 (worldwide)

Not to be confused with any of the numerous other films starring the eponymous bandaged Egyptian monster, Lee Cronin's The Mummy will look to put a unique spin on a tale that's long frightened us.

In it, a couple receive the incredibly emotional news that, eight years after their daughter vanished without a trace, she's unexpectedly be found. However, the broken family's joy turns into a living nightmare when their seemingly cursed first-born causes all manner of horrors at home. Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Natalie Grace, and Veronica Falcón star in this highly anticipated supernatural horror.

Michael

Release date: April 24 (worldwide)

It was only a matter of time before a Michael Jackson biopic was developed — and fans of the legendary and controversial pop superstar will get to watch one when Michael premieres in late April.

Directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jackson's nephew Jaafar as the titular character, it'll cover the eponymous singer's life and career. From his time fronting the Jackson 5 and become a music megastar in his own right, to all the behind-the-scenes drama of his formative years, Michael promises to be a must-see for his devoted fans. A sequel, which would likely cover the rest of his controversy-laced life, is yet to be officially announced.

New movies: May

The Devil Wears Prada 2

Legacy sequels have never looked so chic. That's right, the follow-up to beloved comedy-drama The Devils Wears Prada hits cinemas this May, so millennials of a certain disposition won't want to move at a glacial pace to see it.

As for what it plot entails, Anne Hathaway's Andy reunites with Runway's sharp-tongued editor-in-chief Miranda (Meryl Streep) and assistant-turned-luxury brand head Emily (Emily Blunt). Together, they'll try to shore up the struggling fashion magazine to ensure its survival in a rapidly-changing media landscape. Stanley Tucci also stars.

Severance star Adam Scott puts his Apple TV-based innie and outie to one side for this supernatural horror that'll aim to make your spin tingle with dread.

In Hokum, Scott plays Ohm Bauman, an author who travels to a remote part of Ireland to spread the ashes of his recently deceased parents. While there, he soon suspects that the accommodation he's rented is haunted. Cue night terrors, spooks, and jump scares aplenty.

Mortal Kombat II

Release date: May 8 (worldwide)

With its arrival now locked in for a pre-summer release (that's winter for those in the Southern hemisphere), Mortal Kombat II will aim to write its name into the growing pantheon of top-tier videogame adaptations.

This time, the focus shifts to fan-favorite character Johnny Cage (Karl Urban), whose big-screen debut was teased in one of 2021's Mortal Kombat's mid-credits scenes. Here, the washed-up movie star will have to answer the call to help Earthrealm's heroes see of Shao Khan, who wants to bring our world under his tyrannical rule.

Many of its forebear's cast have been told to "get over here!" and return for the sequel, while many new faces, including Kitana (Adeline Rudolph), Khan (Martyn Ford), and Jade (Tati Gabrielle) join the fray.

The Sheep Detectives

Watch On

Release date: May 8 (worldwide)

Based on Leonie Swann's Three Bags Full book, The Sheep Detectives initially stars Hugh Jackman as George Hardy, the shepherd of a, well, flock of sheep. However, when George is suddenly bumped off one evening, it's up to his woolly cadre to solve the mystery behind his murder.

It all sounds a bit silly, but it seems like the kind of family-friendly film that'll delight younger viewers and have some adult humor to keep the grown-ups entertained. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Regina Hall, Chris O'Dowd, Brett Goldstein, and Rhys Darby are the voices behind the merry flock's members.

Obsession

Release date: May 15 (worldwide)

The second horror film to hit theaters in May, Obsession tells the tale of Bear (Michael Johnston), a hopeless romantic and music store employee who gets more than he bargained for.

Indeed, using a supernatural novelty toy called the 'One Wish Willow', he asks it to make his long-time crush Nikki fall in love with him. As you can already imagine, things take a dark turn from that moment on.

The Mandalorian & Grogu

After a near-10 year hiatus, Star Wars returns to the big screen with this film-based sequel to one of the biggest Disney+ shows ever made.

Reuniting with its eponymous duo, The Mandalorian and Grogu sees the bounty hunter and his adopted son embark on a new quest to tackle remnants of the Galactic Empire. As the official trailer depicts above, though, they get into more than a spot of bother along the way. For more on the forthcoming flick, find out everything you need to know about The Mandalorian and Grogu.

Backrooms

Watch On

Release date: May 29 (worldwide)

Another A24, another slice of unsettling and mysterious horror. Based on the popular creepypasta known as The Backrooms, which originated on a well-known message board in 2019, one of May's new movies will actually adapt Kane Parsons' viral short film namesake, which itself took inspiration from the aforementioned internet-based legend.

Little is known about Backrooms' plot, so I can't confirm if it'll be a like-for-like big-budget remake of Parsons' movie and subsequent webseries. What I can tell you, though, is Parsons is its director, and big-name stars in Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve will star. Find out why our horror expert thinks Backrooms' first trailer is a perfect way to introduce its horror-fuelled mystery to a wider audience, too.

Power Ballad

Release date: May 29

The second music-based film from Lionsgate in as many months, Power Ballad will star Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas as Rick and Danny, who bond over their shared love for the arts.

However, when fading boyband star Danny turns one of the past-his-prime wedding singer Rick's songs into a worldwide hit, a feud erupts that threatens to overshadow their burgeoning friendship — and cause plenty of chaos in the process.

Release date: June 5 (worldwide)

Less than a month after he plays a roving human reporter in The Sheep Detectives, Nicholas Galitzine returns to the silver screen to lead the all-star cast of Amazon and Sony's live-action He-Man movie.

Masters of the Universe sees Galitzine play Adam, aka the titular He-Man. Unaware that he's the crown prince of the planet Eternia, he soon gets caught up in his homeworld's struggle against nefarious sorcerer Skeletor (Jared Leto) and his legions of doom. Camila Mendes, Idris Elba, Morena Baccarin, Kirsten Wiig, and Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson are also involved in this reimagining of the cheesy 80s sci-fi action cartoon.

Scary Movie 6

Release date: June 12 (worldwide)

13 years after the spoof horror film franchise's last entry debuted in theaters, Scary Movie 6 will attempt to be the latest IP to take a ride on the legacy-quel train.

With series stalwarts Marlon and Shawn Wayans back for more parody-style storytelling, the movie will satirize many of the biggest horror films of recent times. Expect to see the likes of Weapons, The Substance, Sinners, Longlegs, Terrifier, Smile, Get Out, and many more made fun of, then.

Toy Story 5

Release date: June 19 (worldwide)

A movie that really didn't need to be developed after the last two films appeared to bring down the curtain on Woody, Buzz, and company, but Pixar and Disney have made it anyway.

This time around, the iconic toys have to contend with the arrival of new high-tech playthings. Indeed, Bonnie gets a touchscreen table named Lilypad for her eighth birthday, and it isn't long before our heroes find themselves on the periphery of playtime once more. Unsure how to handle the villainous Lilypad, Buzz and Jesse reach out to Woody for help — and everyone's favorite cowboy reunites with the group to tackle the new threat.

The second DC Universe (DCU) movie to arrive as part of DCU Chapter One, this comic book movie marks the first time that Supergirl will have appeared on the big screen in over 40 years.

Heavily inspired by the graphic novel Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, it'll follow Milly Alcock's Kara Zor-El after she's enlisted to help young warrior Ruthye track down and kill the space pirate who murdered Ruthye's father.
