Upcoming Hollywood Movies in 2019:
#1 Avengers: Endgame

Synopsis: Any better way to start the list of upcoming Hollywood movies? There are very few people who haven’t heard of the Avengers or hyped about it. And they probably live in Antarctica. After half the universe was killed in the last movie, “Avengers: Infinity War”, the Avengers now look to revert the actions of Thanos and bring back those who were lost.
#2 Pokemon Detective Pikachu
India Release Date: May 10, 2019
Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Justice Smith, Ken Watanabe, Karan Soni
Synopsis: Pokemon has been a pretty significant part of most of our childhood. And Pikachu is a character that a person of every age recognises.

India Release Date: May 17, 2019
Cast: Keanu Reeves, Halle Berry, Ian McShane, Ruby Rose, Common, Laurence Fishburne, Hiroyuki Sanada, Jason Mantzoukas

John Wick desperately wishes to retire from the business but fortunately, for us, he’s been forced back into it.
