July is here, which means we’re in the thick of the summer movie release season and the release calendar finally reflects that after the weirdest year ever. A Marvel movie is back in theaters for the first time in two years, three wildly different and equally fascinating horror movies come our way along with an epic Arthurian legend, a sequel-reboot 25 years in the making, the origin story of an iconic fictional character, one rollicking jungle adventure, and more. In other words, it’s a great month to be a movie lover and a moviegoer.

Here are all the wide-release movies coming to theaters in July 2021.
