To The Wonder: Writer-director Terence Malick is back so expect something confounding, yet undeniably resonant. This time, Ben Affleck is an American man drifting between relationships and reconnecting with a former hometown squeeze. (May 1)
Iron Man 3: It’s Tony Stark vs Gandhi or, rather, Ben Kingsley assuming another ethnicity…that of the unfortunately-named Marvel villain, The Mandarin. Stark and life-long love Pepper Potts must don robo-suits to thwart him. (May 3)
Kon-Tiki: Adventure, shark fights and intrigue. Is it Lucio Fulic’s Zombi 2? Heavens no. This multi-award nominated film dramatizes Thor Heyerdahl’s 1947 expedition to South America aboard the Kon-Tiki raft. (May 3)
Blackbird: This award-winning 2012 Toronto International Film Festival selection centres on bullied kid Sean Randall (Connor Jessup), who ends up taking the fall for a school shooting after making threats online. (May 10)
The Great Gatsby: Gatsby doesn’t get along with old money because they’re old. Like, old as balls. Fortunately, he falls in love with Daisy, a flapper who’s only shallow most of the time. (May 10)
Peeples: Tyler Perry presents…a film he didn’t write/direct/cross-dress in. Tina Gordon Chism’s film depicts Craig Robinson as he attempts to get permission to marry the daughter of a no-nonsense judge (David Alan Grier). (May 10)
Star Trek Into Darkness: The Enterprise crew are back to face evil in the form of Sherlock’s Bandersnatch Cummerbund (Benedict Cumberbatch). Boy, the enlightened 23rd century sure has a lot of megalomaniacs in it. (May 17)
Epic: A young girl magically shrinks to a few inches faster than you can say “Rick Moranis”. Lost in the woods, she encounters a whole miniature world of soldiers fighting evil forces. (May 24)
The Fast & Furious 6: In what promises to be this series most sweaty venture to date, The Rock reunites with Vin Diesel and Paul Walker to track down former heist enthusiast Michelle Rodriguez. (May 24)
The Hangover 3: The Wolfpack gang of four choose another opportunity to not follow the “fool me once” rule and end up having to retrace their drunken steps once more in Los Vegas. (May 24)
Now You See Me: Louis “The Transporter” Leterrier loves magic supergroups. No, not the Traveling Wilburys. This concerns a group of magicians (lead by Jesse Eisenberg) who pull off Ocean’s 11-style heists…but with doves! (May 31)
