2018 has been a great year for movies, but 2019 is shaping up to be even more exciting.

We're getting a number of big sequels, some reboots, and even standalone stories which promise to shake certain franchises and characters up in a big way. Now, IMDb has released its ten most anticipated movies based on page views and MOVIEmeter rankings used on IMDb Pro.

There are some notable omissions here - Spider-Man: Far From Home and Star Wars Episode IX, for example - and it's hard not to wonder if that's down to trailers for those movies not being released!

Regardless, you can find the full list below and you may be surprised by what comes in at #1! So, to take a look at the list in its entirety, all you have to do is click on the "View List" button down below.

10. Hellboy

Release Date: April 12th

Set for release on April 12th, fans are definitely on board with David Harbour playing Hellboy but everything else from the movie has so far received something of a mixed response. It definitely looks like a B-Movie but that could go in its favour and people are clearly starting to get excited!

9. Aladdin

Release Date: May 24th

We actually got our first proper look at Aladdin today and while Will Smith's Genie has got people talking (and not necessarily for the right reasons), Guy Ritchie's movie has potential. Honestly, it's either going to be amazing or awful and it will be interesting seeing which way it goes.

8. Joker

Release Date: October 9th

Comic book fans may not be happy with some of the changes being made to the Clown Prince of Crime's origin story but excitement is swirling around what Joaquin Phoenix is going to bring to the role. Throw in the fact that it may shake up Batman's backstory too and it could be one to remember.

7. Glass

Release Date: January 18th

Minds were blown when Split ended up being set in the same world as Unbreakable and it's easy to see why there's such an awful lot of anticipation surrounding a movie which brings together all these characters for a very different sort of "comic book" movie. Glass looks seriously awesome.

6. It: Chapter 2

Release Date: September 6th

It: Chapter 1 ranks as one of the best Stephen King adaptations of all-time and regardless of whether or not you've read the book, there's a long list of reasons to be excited for the sequel. Seeing actors like James McAvoy and Jessica Chastain taking on Pennywise is obviously one of them.

5. The Irishman

Release Date: Unknown

We haven't covered this movie here on CBM but Martin Scorcese's next film is shrouded in secrecy and we haven't seen so much as a single official image. What we do know is that it tells the story of a mob hitman's possible involvement in the slaying of Jimmy Hoffa and Robert DeNiro stars.

4. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

Release Date: August 9th

Quentin Tarantino's next project is much different to his past efforts as he's assembled an incredible all-star cast to tell the story of Charles Manson and his Helter Skelter heyday. Margot Robbie plays Sharon Tate and other cast members include Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Kurt Russell.

3. Dark Phoenix

Release Date: June 7th

Well, I certainly didn't see this coming! Simon Kinberg is taking the helm of what's basically an X-Men: The Last Stand remake and it will be the final X-Men movie before the heroes are rebooted for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Honestly, it's shame to see this here rather than Star Wars!

2. Avengers: Endgame

Release Date: April 26th

That's right, it's not #1! With the trailer breaking records earlier this month, it's no great surprise that it's ranked so highly and seeing how Earth's Mightiest Heroes handle not only all those casualties but a victorious Thanos has had everyone talking. It's going to be truly epic, folks...

1. Captain Marvel

Release Date: March 8th

Sorry Shazam!, another Captain Marvel has taken the crown! Brie Larson is set to finally land in the Marvel Cinematic Universe next year and with Kevin Feige billing her as the most powerful hero in this shared world, it's not hard to see why fans want to see Carol Danvers kicking some butt.

lol people will be triggered Captain Marvel is #1 when it will make a billion but the biggest joke is DARK PHOENIX at 3.

MrCamw1 - 12/19/2018, 12:16 PM

Surprised CM is number 1 but like SuperDude said it makes sense. Also glad Tarantinos movie made it in the top 10.

doomsday619 - 12/19/2018, 2:26 PM

@MrCamw1 - It's the one non Comic book movie I'm looking forward too.

MrCamw1 - 12/19/2018, 2:29 PM

@doomsday619 - agreed. The only bad Tarantino film i know of I havent seen which is 4 Rooms.

doomsday619 - 12/20/2018, 12:44 AM

@MrCamw1 - My reason is anything true crime related has my interest. But as you said also Tarantino is not really known for shit movies.

MrCamw1 - 12/20/2018, 1:29 AM

@doomsday619 - agreed. Say what you want about him and his foot fetish but the son of a bitch knows what hes doing lol

Kevwebsz - 12/19/2018, 12:20 PM

This is all just nonsense

Origame - 12/19/2018, 12:35 PM

@Kevwebsz - well looking at it based on page views it does make sense. I mean, on top of the fact that its the first female lead movie in the mcu, its also had 2 full length trailers. We didnt even know the name of endgame (well not confirmed) until pretty recently with a trailer that just tells us people will be sad in the movie. Theres just more articles to view about captain marvel.
