The first part of this film will be released on July 12 in theaters. 

The Little Mermaid

The Disney enterprise has taken the hearts of many young fans, and they have been recently “revamping” so to speak, their prominent original films. Disney revamps The Little Mermaid this summer into a live action movie! With the film, there have been many controversies circling around, particularly with the film not following the original animated version’s look. Even through all the controversies, this film will surely keep little ones occupied and entertained during the summer! The film is set to release in theaters May 26.

The Flash

The Flash, a famously known marvel character, is set to premiere June 16. The superhero Flash enters into the complex realm of time travel, where he tries to save humanity from their mistakes in the past. The film will show the differentiating realities as the Flash travels back in time, ultimately interfering with the future. Early positive critical reviews agree: The Flash is following through with its debut as being “one of the best multiverse movies out there.” The film has also been receiving very positive feedback from its first viewers, but will this trend continue once the movie is publicly released?
