Most Anticipated Action Films of 2023
If you want to be thrilled by massive, over-the-top and heart-pounding action movies on the biggest screen possible this year, you’re in luck because AMC offers both IMAX and Dolby Cinema experiences that will elevate and immerse you in every scene.
In 2023, audiences have experienced the expansive world of The High Table and epic action in JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 and raced with Dom Toretto and the Fast Family in the high-octane FAST X. Over the course of the next few months, we’ll go on yet another impossible mission with Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt, see the return of Denzel Washington’s EQUALIZER franchise, and see Sly Stallone, Jason Statham, and rest of the Expendables defy death and logic all over again.
Here is a look at just some of the upcoming action movies coming to an AMC Theatres this year.
If someone were to tell you 20 years ago that Tom Cruise would be 60 and still putting his life on the line for the sake of the cinematic experience, you’d probably say “that’s impossible.” Well, as preposterous as that might have sounded then, the actor who’s also a great stuntman has done just that for the upcoming MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - DEAD RECKONING PART ONE, which opens in theatres on July 14, 2023.
Even though very little has been revealed about the movie, aside from some heart-stopping action set pieces put on display in its trailer, anyone who’s seen any of the previous MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE movies knows that the movie is going to be one exhilarating moment after another, especially whenever Cruise’s Ethan Hunt is running away from, and into, danger.
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - DEAD RECKONING PART ONE opens July 14th
The powerhouse actor-director duo of Denzel Washington and Antoine Fuqua will get together for a fifth collaboration on September 1, 2023 for the release of THE EQUALIZER 3, with Washington once again portraying former United States Marine and DIA officer Robert McCall. Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time, but one thing we do know is that Dakota Fanning is slated to appear alongside Washington, the first time they have shared the screen since co-starring in Tony Scott’s 2004 action thriller MAN ON FIRE.
The first two installments in the franchise, which came out in 2014 and 2018, respectively, were both entertaining action movies that made a decent haul at the box office, so there’s no reason to think THE EQUALIZER 3 won’t do the same when it kicks off the fall movie season.
On September 22, 2023, fans of the action movies of yesterday and today will get to rejoice when THE EXPENDABLES 4 opens in the theatres and takes audiences on another wild ride with the titular mercenaries led by Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, and Randy Couture. But, those four won’t be alone when the massive action movie takes to the silver screen, as Megan Fox, Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, Andy Garcia and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson are also set to appear.
Details are few and far between about the plot in THE EXPENDABLES 4, but let’s be real here, everyone who wants to see this movie is going to do so regardless of what it’s about, ourselves included.
These are just some of the promising action movies we’re excited to see come to AMC Theatres during the year, as there are tons of exciting movies scheduled to be released within the universes of Marvel and DC Comics as well.
