June finds us smack in the middle of the summer movie season, with big-budget Hollywood spectacles in full swing. June finds a fitting end to two franchises (at least in theory), a restart of another beloved franchise, and a few horror films to give us the chills in between the action. Here’s a breakdown of all the wide releases hitting theaters in June.

‘The Secret Life Of Pets 2’ – June 7

Cast: Patton Oswalt, Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart, Jenny Slate, Ellie Kemper, Lake Bell, Dana Carvey, Hannibal Buress, Bobby Moynihan, Harrison Ford

Director:  Chris Renaud and Jonathan del Val

Illumination Entertainment is back with a follow-up to their smash 2016 hit with The Secret Life of Pets 2. The first film introduced us to Jack Russell terrier, Max (Oswalt) and his friends, shaggy dog Duke (Stonestreet), hot-tempered rabbit Snowball (Hart), and snobby Pomeranian Gidget (Slate). This time around, the pets get into more hijinks while their owners are gone while meeting a few new friends voiced by Tiffany Haddish, Nick Kroll, Pete Holmes and Harrison Ford in his animated debut. This sequel looks to capture the wacky fun of the last.

‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix’ – June 7

Cast: Sophie Turner, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Jennifer Lawrence, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp, Jessica Chastain, Evan Peters, Kodi Smit-McPhee

Director: Simon Kinberg

X-Men: Dark Phoenix will likely be the last X-Men movie that 20th Century Fox releases before the rights revert back to Marvel Studios. Longtime producer Simon Kinberg makes his directorial debut with his version of the renowned ‘Dark Phoenix’ comic book arc. When X-Man Jean Grey is overtaken by a terrible and dark power known as the Phoenix Force, her fellow mutants and friends must wrestle with saving their friend or saving the world.

‘Men In Black: International’ – June 14

Cast: Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, Emma Thompson, Liam Neeson, Rebecca Ferguson

Director: F. Gary Gray

The hit Men in Black franchise is resurrected, this time featuring Thor: Ragnarok co-stars Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson. When Agent M (Tessa Thompson) joins the ranks of the MIB organization, she’s paired up with the talented Agent H (Hemsworth). But when the two discover a mole in the MIB’s ranks, it’s up to them to save the world.

Hemsworth and Thompson had amazing comedic chemistry together in Ragnarok, so it’s no stretch to believe they’ll be able to stretch their comedic chops even more with Men in Black: International. Bonus points if you pretend it’s Valkyrie and Thor undercover on Midgard.

‘Shaft’ – June 14

Cast: Samuel L. Jackson, Richard Roundtree, Jesse T. Usher, Regina Hall

Director: Tim Story

Shaft is back, this time with some help from the family. When MIT grad and cybersecurity expert John Shaft, Jr. (Usher) learns of his best friend’s death, he reunites with his dad, John Shaft II (Jackson) in order to help solve the mystery of who killed his friend. But when the two get in over their heads, they must make it a family affair by calling in the patriarch of the family, the original John Shaft (Roundtree). Fans of the original Shaft should love this one, but it looks like a ton of fun and action for everyone, even if they’re not familiar with the previous films.

‘Child’s Play’ – June 21

Cast: Aubrey Plaza, Bryan Tyree Henry

Director: Lars Klevberg

The Child’s Play franchise gets a reboot for the modern age in this reimagining of the long-running horror franchise by Orion Pictures. When Karen Barclay (Plaza) gives her son Andy a toy for his birthday, she has no idea of the sinister side the doll possesses or that it will soon terrorize her and Andy. The original Child’s Play franchise got more campy and humorous as it evolved over the years; this reboot looks to return it to its terrifying roots.

‘Toy Story 4’ – June 21

Cast: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Jordan Peele, Keegan-Michael Key, Patricia Arquette, Annie Potts, Wallace Shawn, Laurie Metcalf

Director: Josh Cooley

When it was announced that Pixar was returning to infinity and beyond with Toy Story 4, we rejoiced. Toy Story 3 was a perfect (and perfectly heartbreaking) ending to the beloved franchise, so that rejoicing also came with surprise. But leave it to Pixar to craft an even better story than the last. When a new toy named Forky joins Woody and the gang, they set out on an epic quest to find Woody’s lost love, Bo Peep. In more fun facts, Keanu Reeves will be voicing a character in the movie – yes, John Wick himself. Let’s hope it’s the aforementioned Forky.

‘Limited Partners’ – June 28

Cast: Rose Byrne, Tiffany Haddish, Salma Hayek

Director: Miguel Arteta

Not much is known about this movie at this time, so expect this to be updated as we learn more. What we do know seems like it has the potential to be a lot of summer fun. Limited Partners explores the friendship between two women with very different goals, with one being down-to-earth and practical and the other dreaming of living a lavish lifestyle. When they start a beauty company together, they have to learn to balance each other out lest the company – and their friendship – end in disaster.

‘Yesterday’ – June 28

Cast: Himesh Patel, Lily James, Ed Sheeran, Ana de Armas, Kate McKinnon

Director: Danny Boyle

Director Danny Boyle (28 Days Later, Slumdog Millionaire, Sunshine) brings a wildly unique story to life. When the world experiences a weird anomaly, struggling musician Jack (Patel) wakes up the next morning like any other morning…and discovers every person in the world has forgotten The Beatles and he’s the only one who remembers. When he takes their music and passes it off as their own, he suddenly rockets to fame. But the pressures of fame and living a lie start to tear his relationships apart. Yesterday looks to have a balance of dramedy sprinkled with fantasy and is sure to be one of the more inventive movies released this year.
