New Year’s fireworks died out, a herring was eaten under a fur coat, and instead of “The Irony of Fate”, it’s time to see something new.
And so that you have decided on your preferred movie novelties in advance, we have compiled a list of the most anticipated films of 2020. The list was based on the premieres of 2020 from Kinopoisk and IMDb.

The main characters are sent to enemy territory with an important message for the battalion, which can get into the German "meat grinder".
Together, two young Britons must reach their comrades and stop the attack, having entered into an incredible race with time and insurmountable difficulties.

The last time we saw Margot Robbie in the role of the insidious Harley Queen, who got involved in an almost hopeless adventure in The Suicide Squad. What will happen when she joins the Birds of Prey, the ladies' team of adventurers from the DC universe? In addition to Harley, it includes the Black Canary, the Huntress and Renee Montoya.
I don’t know about you, dear readers, but I’m even a little sorry for the main villain Black mask (Ewan McGregor). It is unlikely that all his Jedi tricks from a past life will help to confront such desperate ladies.

Release date: February 20th
February will be generous with an interesting movie, and this month we will see the adventures of the fastest hedgehog in the world.
The first trailer for this adaptation of a classic video game aroused the anger of Sonic fans around the world, prompting representatives of Paramount Pictures to promise that they would update the character's appearance.
This led to the fact that the output of the picture was postponed from 2019 to 2020. And not in vain, because the updated trailer with the participation of the transformed Sonic, which was released in November 2019, was met with approval. One can only hope that the entire film about the confrontation between the superfast blue hedgehog and the evil doctor Robotnik will not disappoint the audience.

At first, this super-soldier, the result of experiments by the US military, does not remember anything from its past. However, snatches of memories constantly disturb him, and finally he recalls the man who killed Bloodshot himself and his wife. A hero obsessed with revenge breaks free.
