After we binge watch all the best fresh and inspiring spring movies, and all the summer movies that capture the colorful, carefree nature of warmer months, it's time for fall movies! And the best part about these 2024 movies is, without a doubt, their casts. This year's fall flicks have some seriously big names attached to them (Pedro Pascal! Paul Mescal! Lady Gaga!), and they promise to be some of the best titles we've seen this year. Here are the most-anticipated fall movies to add to your watchlist in 2024.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice — In Theaters September 6, 2024
Warner Bros. Entertainment
This follow-up to Tim Burton's original Beetlejuice stars Jenna Ortega as Astrid, the daughter of Winona Ryder's iconic character Lydia. We don't have too many plot details about this fall movie, but considering Jenna promises Astrid is weird, it's safe to assume the movie plot will be just as strange as the original.
Beetlejuice 2 hits theaters September 6, 2024 and stars Jenna Ortega, Winona Ryder, Michael Keaton, Willem Dafoe, and Justin Theroux.
Transformers One — In Theaters September 13, 2024
Paramount Pictures
Given the success of Barbie and the latest Transformers movie (not to mention the fact we're getting Polly Pocket and Sims movies too!), toy-themed films will always be a good idea. This fall movie serves as an origin story between two characters we know and love — Optimus Prime and Megatron — and traces how they went from friends to enemies.
Transformers One is in theaters September 13 and stars Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, Jon Hamm, Laurence Fishburne, and Keegan-Michael Key.
My Old Ass — In Theaters September 13, 2024
Amazon MGM Studios
This new coming-of-age movie from Megan Park takes "giving advice to your younger self" to a whole new level. When 18-year-old Elliot finds herself on a mushroom trip, she also finds herself face-to-face with the 39-year-old version of herself. And this more mature Elliot is full of warnings and advice that is going to change everything.
My Old Ass hits theaters September 13 and stars Maisy Stella, Aubrey Plaza, Percy Hynes White, Maddie Ziegler, Kerrice Brooks.
His Three Daughters — On Netflix September 20, 2024
Netflix
With their dad on his deathbed, sisters Katie, Christina, and Rachel come together for three days to be together — and say goodbye. The three women are very different from one another, and nothing brings out the fractures in a relationship like grief. This fall movie, and all its performances, is as raw and unflinching as grief actually is.
His Three Daughters is on Netflix September 20 and stars Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olsen, Natasha Lyonne.
The Wild Robot — In Theaters September 20, 2024
Universal Pictures
Roz is a robot who gets shipwrecked on a deserted island. In an effort to adapt to its surroundings, Roz begins to form relationships with the animals it meets — including an orphaned (and very cute) baby goose. Watch The Wild Robot trailer here.
You can watch The Wild Robot in theaters September 20. The fall movie stars Lupita Nyong’o, Pedro Pascal, Catherine O’Hara, Bill Nighy, Matt Berry, Kit Connor, Stephanie Hsu, Mark Hamill, and Ving Rhames.
Wolfs — In Theaters September 20, 2024
Apple TV+
George Clooney and Brad Pitt are teaming up for the ultimate showdown in Wolfs. The two superstars play independent fixers ("lone wolves," if you will), who are forced to team up after they report to the same job.
Wolfs hits theaters September 20 and stars Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Amy Ryan, Austin Abrams.
Joker: Folie à Deux — In theaters October 4, 2024
Warner Bros. Entertainment
Harley Quinn is back, and this time she's played by Lady Gaga (when can we get a reunion with Margot Robbie à la Spiderman: No Way Home?). Lady Gaga will star opposite Joaquin Phoenix's Joker and based on the first shots from the film, I'm going to be on the edge of my seat the entire time.
Joker 2 hits theaters October 4 and stars Lady Gaga, Joaquin Phoenix, Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, and Harry Lawtey.
We Live In Time — In Select Theaters October 11, 2024
A24
Dune 2's Florence Pugh and The Amazing Spider-Man's Andrew Garfield shine in this devastating romance movie. When Almut (Pugh) and Tobias (Garfield) cross paths by chance (read: she accidentally hits him with her car), they strike up a relationship that changes the course of their lives forever. Fans of About Time will want to buy tickets for this fall movie!
We Live in Time hits theaters October 11 and stars Florence Pugh, Andrew Garfield, Adam James, Aoife Hinds, Marama Corlett, and Nikhil Parmar.
Venom: The Last Dance — In theaters October 25, 2024
Sony Pictures Releasing
Speaking of Spider-Man, we're getting another chapter in the Venom saga with Venom: The Last Dance. We know (thanks to the end of Venom 2) that this movie series has hopped on the multiverse train — and that Venom now knows about Peter Parker. This does not bode well for our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
Venom 3 hits theaters October 25 and stars Tom Hardy, Juno Temple, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Clark Backo.
Red One — In Theaters November 15, 2024
Karen Neal/Amazon MGM Studios
If you love the super-powered action of Marvel movies and the original Fantastic Four, then this movie is for you (and not just because Chris Evans stars in it). Evans plays an accomplished tracker who has to team up with an E.L.F. (Extremely Large and Formidable, played by Dwayne Johnson) when Santa is kidnapped from the North Pole. We've always been told Santa sees everything, but apparently he can't watch his own back.
Red One hits theaters November 15 and stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Chris Evans.
Gladiator 2 — In Theaters November 22, 2024
Paramount Pictures
Paul Mescal headlines this huge blockbuster as Lucius, the son of the late Maximus (played by Russell Crowe in the original 2000 film), opposite Joseph Quinn and Pedro Pascal (who we'll see next year in Fantastic Four). So, I see your iconic "Are you not entertained?" and I raise you, "How are you not entertained?"
Gladiator 2 hits theaters November 22 and stars Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Connie Nielsen, and Derek Jacobi.
Moana 2 — In Theaters November 27, 2024
Disney
This new Disney movie will see the return of Moana and Maui as they go on a brand new adventure. I didn't know anything could be crazier than returning the Heart of Te Fiti, but Moana 2 will see these beloved characters go on a quest across Oceania — to a part of the ocean.
Moana 2 premieres November 27 and stars Auliʻi Cravalho and Dwane Johnson.
Wicked Part 1 — In Theaters November 27, 2024
Universal Pictures
One of this year's final fall movies is one of my most-anticipated. Jon M. Chu's follow-up to In The Heights and Crazy Rich Asians follows the origin story of the Wicked Witch of the West, and has some majorly important themes about judgement, prejudice, and standing up for what's right. This movie couldn't come at a better time.
You can watch Wicked in theaters November 27, 2024. The movie stars Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode, Bowen Yang, and Keala Settle.
