In 2020 we will have the opportunity to look into parallel worlds, meet vampires and ghost hunters, or find a magical healing tree. And all thanks to the cinema, which will spoil us with many good science fiction and fantasy films.
All participants in the selection of the most anticipated sci-fi movies of 2020 are sorted by the rating of the expectations of Kinopoisk users.
10. Karamora
Release date in RF: November 19, 2020
Genre: fantasy, thriller
Country: Russia
Producer: Danila Kozlovsky
Music: unknown
The only representative of Russia on the list of the most anticipated science fiction films of 2020 will take viewers into an alternate reality of the early 20th century. Where anarchists and vampires act, and Danila Kozlovsky himself stands up to protect Russian society from bloodsuckers. Who, in fact, is the director of the picture.
By the way, "caramora" is the world's largest mosquito, which, despite its size (up to 15 cm), cannot harm a person, since its proboscis is designed to collect dew, not blood.
9. Wonder Woman: 1984
Release date in RF: August 13, 2020
Genre: fantasy, action, adventure
Country: USA, UK, Canada, Mexico, Spain
Producer: Patty Jenkins
Music: Hans Zimmer

8. Ghostbusters: Heirs
Release date in RF: July 9, 2020
Genre: fantasy, action, comedy
Country: USA
Producer: Jason Wrightman
Music: Rob Simonsen
What women did not cope with, perhaps children can cope. It's about the resurgence of the Ghostbusters franchise.
Chronologically the action of this picture will develop after the events of the second part. And along with the new acting characters, we will see the old Hunters - Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Raymond Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) and Winston Zeddmore (Ernie Hudson). The ageless Sigourney Weaver will also be there as Dana Barrett.
7. The main character
Release date in RF: July 2, 2020
Genre: fiction, action, comedy
Country: USA
Producer: Sean Levy
Music: Christophe Beck
You were just Deadpool and now you are a video game character. Of course, this is about Ryan Reynolds, who in "The protagonist" turned into a modest bank clerk.
One day he finds out that he is just an NPC (not a playable character). Will the minor "non-writing" be able to rewrite their code, become a hero and save their computer world?
One of the most anticipated sci-fi films of 2020 is based on an original idea, and given the huge acting potential of Reynolds and the fact that Zach Penn worked on the script ("The Avengers", "Ready Player One", "X-Men 2", etc.), you can suggest that "Protagonist" will be one of this summer's hits.
6. Morbius
Release date in RF: July 30, 2020
Genre: horror, science fiction, fantasy
Country: USA
Producer: Daniel Espinosa
Music: Jon Ekstrand
This summer, Jared Leto will try on the guise of the antihero from Marvel comics - the genius scientist Michael Morbius. Suffering from a rare blood disorder, Morbius decides to take a radical approach to his treatment. But along with the returned health, he receives unpleasant side effects in the form of increased bloodlust, red eyes and fangs.
One of the main opponents of Spider-Man is devoid of the classic weaknesses of vampirism - intolerance to garlic, holy water, prayers and silver. This means that it will not be so easy to cope with it.
5. Artemis Fowle
Release date in RF: May 28, 2020
Genre: adventure, science fiction, fantasy
Country: USA
Producer: Kenneth Branagh
Music: Patrick Doyle
He is a young genius who calculates everything 10 moves ahead. He is the heir to an ancient line of criminal talents. And he intends to invade the world that ordinary people say "he doesn't exist."
This is the story of Artemis Fowl, his daring robbery, magical creatures and people, willingly or unwillingly associated with this phenomenal child.
4. Dante's hell
Release date in RF: October 31, 2020

In the center of the plot is Dante, who is facing an unpleasant journey to hell, accompanied by the guide Virgil. He protects Dante's soul and shows him all the horrors and wonders of the Underworld.
According to Italian director Boris Acosta, Dante's Inferno is not a documentary. However, it is not an ordinary feature film either. It is "a visual and narrative journey, narrated by over 30 scientists and artists from Italy and the United States." And the main goal of this movie is to present Dante's story in an easy and understandable way and to encourage people to read The Divine Comedy.

Which movie premieres have been postponed
“But what about the Black Widow?” - a reader who knows about one of the most anticipated fantastic film premieres of this year may be indignant. Everything is complicated with this film. Due to the COVID-19 coronavirus epidemic, Disney studio announced the postponement of the appearance of "Black Widow" in theaters from May 1 to an indefinite date. The Russian release, scheduled for April 30, has also been postponed. For how long is still unknown.
But we expect and believe that the sexy and strong Natasha Romanoff will endure all difficulties and will still appear on the big screens this year.
Also, due to the outbreak of the coronavirus, the premieres of "Mulan", "New Mutants" and "Fast and Furious 9" were postponed.
The most anticipated movie is Nolan's Argument, and not otherwise!
