Known as the world’s most beloved comedic actor, Kevin Hart releases another film displaying his stand up comedic jokes and action movie up on the big screen called “Kevin Hart: What Now?” Hart continues to keep his audiences laughing hysterically with his new film while also addressing important social issues.

According to Sonari Glinton from npr.org, “Kevin Hart ended Seinfeld’s decade of dominating the list of highest-paid comedians in decisive fashion, using his tour of huge venues to earn $87.5 million.”

This highly anticipated film is set to release on Oct. 14, so if you’re anxiously waiting to hear new comedic jokes from the world’s most popular comedian, then check out his movie “Kevin Hart: What Now?”!

Doctor Strange

Known for its production of super hero movies and highly anticipated teaser trailers, Marvel’s “Doctor Strange” is another film that has fans of Marvel eagerly awaiting its cinematic arrival this year! As we see actor Benedict Cumberbatch take on the most iconic role of all time as doctor and warlock Stephen Strange in that red cloak, we can definitely get our obsession of the actor dressed as the doctor until the film is released.

According to Brian Gallagher from movieweb.com, Marvel studio’s president and producer Kevin Feige, stated “that the Cloak of Levitation almost has a ‘consciousness of its own.’”

As a fan of the comic book series, I’m also anxiously waiting for the midnight premiere on Nov. 4!

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Known as the most highly anticipated and excitingly new movie of the year, this film is not only based on J.K. Rowling’s book “Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them,” it’s also an addition within the “Wizarding World Universe,” as the first within a brand new trilogy of films.

According to Jessica Derschowitz from ew.com, “Eddie Redmayne stars in the film as Newt Scamander, a magizoologist (and former Hogwarts Hufflepuff) who arrives in 1920s New York City with a suitcase full of magical creatures — which he must scramble to recapture after they escape.”

Considered to be a side story from the Harry Potter film series, fans around the world are trending all over social media for the return of J.K Rowling’s Wizarding World. If you’re a big J.K. Rowling fan like myself and can’t wait for the movie to hit the big screen next month on Nov. 18, don’t fret! You can definitely binge watch all eight of the Harry Potter films, which are now showing at IMAX, or read the book “Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them,” so that you’ll be caught up for the movie!
