2018's blockbuster season is officially underway.
  The months ahead will see the release of plenty  of high profile titles, including Deadpool
  2, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and Solo:  A Star Wars Story, and that's just the beginning.
  In fact, just about every major upcoming film  dropped a new trailer over the past month.
  It's a lot to take in if you're not paying  attention.
  In case you missed them, here's a look at  all the new trailers from April 2018 that
  are sure to blow you away.
  The Cleanse
  Not to be confused with the movie The Purge,  The Cleanse sees a group of people heading
  out to a mountain health retreat to partake  in a purging ritual to cleanse the toxins
  from their body.
  But one guy purges something a little more  sinister than bad feelings: He lets out an
  actual demon.
  The Cleanse premiered at South by Southwest  in 2016 under the title The Master Cleanse,
  then sat quietly for two years waiting for  a distribution deal.
  With a brand new trailer preceding the film's  upcoming release, mainstream audiences finally
  got a glimpse of the quirky horror comedy.
  Look for The Cleanse in theaters and on video-on-demand  on May 4th.
  The 12th Man
  This upcoming film tells the true story of  a Norwegian freedom fighter who goes on the
  run after his group of saboteurs is captured  and executed by the Nazis.
  Equal parts harrowing survival thriller and  action-packed war drama, The 12th Man is bound
  to be a tense, unforgettable experience.
  While the film premiered in Norway in December  2017, distributor IFC Midnight has it slated
  for a May 4th release in the U.S.
  Anon
  From writer/director Andrew Niccol, Anon takes  place in the near future where surveillance
  technology ensures that nothing happens without  a record.
  Everything a person sees is recorded and archived.
  Anonymity is a thing of the past, and no crime  goes unpunished.
  But when Detective Sal Freiland played by  Clive Owen, encounters a mysterious woman
  who can erase all records of her existence,  he finds himself plunged into a world of paranoia
  where nothing is what it seems.
  Look for Anon on Netflix on May 4th.
  Deadpool 2
  Fox was more than happy to let the fan speculation  about the new mutants in Deadpool 2 run wild
  for months, but their final trailer finally  names a few of the newcomers, like Bedlam
  and Shatterstar.
  Oh, and Peter, who just wants to hang out.
  "Um, I just saw the ad."
  "You're in."
  What else is there to see in the newest Deadpool  2 trailer?
  A whole lot of action and plenty of jokes,  of course.
  "So dark.
  You sure you're not from the DC universe?"
  Deadpool 2 lands in theaters on May 18th.
  Cargo
  Starring Martin Freeman, Cargo tells the story  of a father in rural Australia who finds himself
  stranded in the middle of a zombie outbreak.
  To make matters worse, he's stuck with the  most precious cargo of all, his infant daughter.
  Based on a short film that made waves at Tropfest  Australia in 2013, Cargo sees the original
  short's directors behind the camera for the  feature-length adaptation.
  With a brand new trailer released in April,  Netflix offers a glimpse of the desolate world
  of Cargo and promises an emotionally charged  journey with the ultimate stakes.
  Look for it on May 18th.
  Solo: A Star Wars Story
  In a world where expensive blockbusters always  seem to want to bet on a sure thing, a Han
  Solo origin story was all but inevitable.
  The new trailer for Solo: A Star Wars story  sees Alden Ehrenreich's young Han taking on
  what looks like his first smuggling job.
  He's joined by Chewbacca, and for once, maybe  even the last time in his life, he has a good
  feeling about things.
  Unfortunately, most fans aren't feeling so  good about it.
  Between a change of directors at the last  minute and reports of Disney bringing in an
  acting coach for Ehrenreich, things haven't  boded well for this new incarnation of the
  scruffy nerf-herder.
  We'll all have to see what happens in this  galaxy far, far, away on May 25th.
  Future World
  Bizarre.
  Strange.
  Inexplicable.
  There are many words to describe the trailer  for Future World, but they all basically mean
  the same thing.
  James Franco stars as a weird post-apocalyptic  warlord, with Suki Waterhouse as a weird robot,
  Milla Jovovich as a weirder version of Resident  Evil's Alice, and Snoop Dogg as, well...he's
  pretty normal, all things considered.
  "You say that like that's a bad thing or something,  man."
  The trailer is full of this stuff, and more.
  Future World probably won't win any awards,  but it looks like a fun ride for anyone craving
  some sci-fi action.
  Look for Future World to drop on video-on-demand  on May 25th.
  Upgrade
  Upcoming action extravaganza Upgrade stars  Logan Marshall-Green as a regular ol' guy
  who gets a neural implant that turns him into  a human weapon.
  Is it the easiest writing trick in the world  to give your protagonist super fighting skills?
  You bet, but from the looks of the trailer,  Upgrade will have more than enough style to
  pull it off.
  Whether any of that translates into a good  movie remains to be seen, but we'll be able
  to find out when Upgrade hits theaters on  June 1st.
  American Animals
  Evan Peters headlines American Animals as  the real-life Warren Lipka, a college student
  who orchestrated a bizarre heist to steal  a collection of rare books from the library
  at Kentucky's Transylvania University.
  Together with three friends, Lipka carried  out a meticulous plan to infiltrate the Rare
  Book Room, subdue its one guard, a 50-year-old  librarian, and get rich by making off with
  millions of dollars' worth of first editions.
  "Can I just say how dumb this entire thing  is?"
  The trailer promises a college-bound heist  movie equal parts Ocean's Eleven and Harold
  & Kumar.
  Check it out on June 1st.
  Ocean's 8
  While George Clooney's Danny Ocean was the  central driving force behind the first three
  Oceans movies, it's his sister, Debbie Ocean,  who's putting together a team for Ocean's
  8.
  The heist: Steal a priceless diamond necklace  from the New York Met Gala.
  The plan: super convoluted, as usual.
  Sandra Bullock leads an all-star cast, and  Steven Soderbergh, who directed the first
  three films, serves as a producer.
  Look for all the high-stakes heist action  when Ocean's 8 lands in theaters on June 8th.
  Hereditary
  The first trailer for A24's Hereditary promised  a visually unique horror tale centered around
  an unsettling young girl named Charlie.
  In the second trailer, Charlie's inner demons  crawl into the light just a little bit more.
  It still doesn't explain much about the story,  but it doesn't need to.
  The trailer is a whirlwind of activity, and  if the movie is even half as creepy as these
  trailers have been, it's bound to become one  of the best horror films of 2018.
  You can find out when it hits theaters on  June 8th.
  Hotel Artemis
  The April trailer for Hotel Artemis dropped  out of a clear blue sky, but was quick to
  pull in millions of views...and plenty of  comparisons to John Wick.
  Hotel Artemis is about a hospital for assassins  that accepts the wrong patient, drawing in
  the underworld's deadliest like moths to a  lamp.
  Hotel Artemis is a no-vacancy, no-holds-barred  mashup of slick action and all-star faces.
  Look for it in theaters on June 8th.
  Incredibles 2
  After 14 years of waiting, Incredibles 2 is  finally on the way.
  Original writer/director Brad Bird is helming  the sequel, with most the of the original
  voice cast back as well.
  The timing couldn't be more perfect to rope  in all those fans of the first film, plus
  their kids.
  The new trailer sees Elastigirl heading out  to fight crime, leaving Mr. Incredible at
  home to wrangle the kids.
  In the latter half of the trailer, we get  glimpses of the whole family in action, along
  with shots of the Underminer terrorizing the  city and the mysterious new villain The Screenslaver
  brainwashing the citizens of Metroville.
  Check out Incredibles 2 in theaters on June  15th.
  Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
  Universal Pictures released yet another teaser  for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom in April,
  building the hype even higher for a movie  that millions of people are going to go see
  anyway.
  In the final full-length trailer, Universal  finally gets down to brass tacks, storywise.
  Claire and Owen are heading back to the island  to rescue the dinosaurs from a volcano, but
  the corporation that sends them isn't interested  in happy dinos, they want to use Owen's velociraptor,
  Blue, to make a new hybrid weapon and auction  it off to the highest bidder.
  Nobody's taking bets on whether anything goes  wrong with that plan.
  Look for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom in  theaters on June 22nd.
  The First Purge
  You've seen three years of the Purge, now  get ready for the one that started it all.
  There are some serious shenanigans at work  in the trailer for The First Purge, with the
  government enlisting black ops soldiers to  help get the ball rolling on the first night
  of their new experiment.
  Turns out, people aren't so keen to go on  those bloody rampages after all.
  "I can't run around chopping people's heads  off one day a year, and then sleep well the
  rest of the time."
  "Well you better start getting used to it,  little bitch, because we've got some f---ing
  company."
  Writer and director James DeMonaco, who helmed  the first three Purge films, returns as the
  writer on The First Purge, with Gerard McMurray  stepping in as director.
  The First Purge drops into theaters on July  4th.
  The Equalizer 2
  In this sequel to 2014's The Equalizer, Denzel  Washington returns as Robert McCall, the ultimate
  man of peace who you definitely don't want  to mess with.
  The trailer showcases Washington going on  a rampage while keeping plot details pretty
  much under wraps, promising an adrenaline-fueled  ride packed with plenty of surprises.
  Check it out when The Equalizer 2 turns up  the heat on July 20th.
  Night School
  In a summer filled to the brim with monster  films, superhero smackdowns, and spine-tingling
  horror, Night School is bound to be a breath  of fresh air.
  The comedy stars Kevin Hart as a successful  grill salesman whose life is flipped upside
  down when his store blows up.
  When nobody will hire him because he's a high-school  dropout, he suddenly finds himself at the
  bottom of the corporate ladder, enrolling  in night school to get his G.E.D.
  With a script co-written by Kevin Hart, Night  School co-stars Tiffany Haddish and enrolls
  in a theater near you on September 28th.
  The Meg
  Throughout his career, Jason Statham has gone  up against gypsies, human traffickers, '80s
  action stars, and his own heart.
  Now, he's facing his biggest foe yet, a prehistoric  sea monster.
  The Meg sees Statham starring as Jonas Taylor,  an ex-Navy Captain who's recruited to help
  with a rescue mission on a deep-sea research  station.
  The only problem is, there's a 70-foot predator  roaming the seas.
  In the first trailer for The Meg, we get some  underwater action, some explosions, and at
  least one too many jokes about how there's  no way this Megalodon's actually a Megalodon,
  even though it's clearly a Megalodon.
  "It's a Megalodon."
  "He's kidding, right?"
  Take the plunge when The Meg arrives on August  10th.
  Venom
  After teasing the world with a Venom trailer  that didn't feature any Venom, Sony finally
  released a trailer chock-full of the symbiote.
  The teaser introduces Tom Hardy's character,  Eddie Brock, a reporter digging into a story
  involving a shadowy tech company called the  Life Foundation that's apparently been attempting
  to merge people with symbiotes.
  When Brock gets infected with a symbiote,  the Life Foundation's Dr. Carlton Drake sends
  his henchmen after the guy, and they end up  getting more than they bargained for.
  Another highlight of the new trailer is the  introduction of Venom's voice, also voiced
  by Hardy.
  Look for Venom to hit theaters on October  5th.
  The Man Who Killed Don Quixote
  It took almost 20 years for Terry Gilliam  to bring his passion project about Don Quixote
  to fruition, and the long journey is finally,  almost, over.
  The original incarnation starred Johnny Depp,  but a long, troubled production eventually
  sucked the funding out of the movie, and everyone  went their separate ways.
  After multiple restarts, misfires, and casting  replacements, the film now stars Adam Driver,
  with Jonathan Pryce as Don Quixote.
  And believe it or not, the Don Quixote curse  has struck again, as of April 2018, Gilliam
  is still embroiled in a legal battle over  the new film's distribution rights.
  Fingers crossed that all those troubles come  to an end and The Man Who Killed Don Quixote
  finally reaches theaters.
