He then continued: “Not only that but you have huge blockbusters such as Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Avengers: Doomsday.”

Kev also said you “can’t forget” about The Mandalorian and Grogu as well as blockbusters that are based off of books, such as Project Hail Mary.

The movie fanatic further said ‘one of his most-anticipated movies of next year’ is The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, while he stated the horror genre is “cooking” with titles such as Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, Scream 7, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, Evil Dead Burn and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride!, starring Christian Bale.
