Take a look to see which big films are coming out over the next few months, and if you want more, check out all the trailers we have for 2016's many, many releases.

  • The scoop: Chris Evans picks up his shield for the third Captain America movie. A bunch of the usual suspects (plus some new faces) will star in the film, which finds Captain America squaring off against Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man. The most exciting part, however, might be that the new Spider-Man is making his debut.

  • The scoop: We're all due for a dose of Ryan Gosling. He's returning to the big screen for this cop comedy, costarring Russell Crowe. It's set in 1970s Los Angeles, meaning we're probably going to get some truly groovy fashion moments from both of them. (See above.)
  • Release date: May 20
  • Watch the trailer.

X-Men: Apocalypse

  • The scoop: Have you heard of this little movie called Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice? Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill are facing off as the vigilantes in Zack Snyder's action-packed flick. It's a cool two-and-a-half hours long — you've been warned.

  • The scoop: While a remake of The Jungle Book is, in itself, enough reason to be skeptical, Disney's live-action revival actually looks really gorgeous. Plus, it's one of the only Spring blockbusters you can take the kids to see!
