Including new movies featuring Will Smith, Angelina Jolie, Paul Rudd and, yes, Lady Gaga!

We’re getting deeper into Oscar season, so there are some big dramatic movies arriving throughout November.

But if you’re looking for something a bit lighter, there are also some huge blockbusters arriving over the next 30 days or so, too…

Eternals – 5 November

Marvel assembles an all-star cast – Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden, Salma Hayek, Barry Keoghan, Kit Harrington, Gemma Chan, Kumail Kanjiani – for this epic space opera about beings that have pretty much existed since the beginning of time, watching over all of creation and defending it from evil.

Spencer – 5 November

Kristen Stewart is an Oscar frontrunner for her portrayal as Princess Diana in this emotional biopic detailing three days over Christmas spent with the royal family. We recently caught up with Stewart herself to discuss her role in the movie, and you can check out that interview in full right here:

Cry Macho – 12 November

Clint Eastwood directs and stars in this western drama about a former rodeo cowboy who takes a job from his former boss to travel to Mexico and bring a man safely back across the border into America.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife – 18 November

The spiritual sequel (geddit?) to the original Ghostbusters movie sees a family movie to a house in the middle of nowhere, left to them in a will. But once they get there, they discover that there are some odd goings on in the local town…

King Richard – 19 November

Will Smith might also finally bag himself an Oscar for his role in this biopic, playing Richard Williams; the loving and attentive father to Venus and Serena, and how he helped shape them into two of the greatest athletes of the modern world.

Encanto – 26 November

Musical maestro Lin-Manuel Miranda provides his voice and his songwriting skills to Disney’s latest animated comedy, about a village hidden in Colombia, with each person gifted an ability by the local magical presence. However, in this town filled with the extraordinary, one woman (voiced by Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Stephanie Beatriz) discovers she has no special gifts to speak of.

House of Gucci – 26 November

It feels like it has only been about 15 minutes since Ridley Scott gave us The Last Duel, and he’s already back to deliver another big screen heavy hitter. Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Al Pacino, Jared Leto and more star in this true life tale of murder and betrayal at the centre of the fashion house Gucci.
