New Year fireworks have died down, a herring under a fur coat has been eaten, and instead of "Irony of Fate" it's time to see something new.
And so that you can decide in advance on your preferred new films, we have compiled a list of the most anticipated films of 2020. The lists of premieres of 2020 from the sites Kinopoisk and IMDb were taken as a basis.

The main characters are sent to enemy territory with an important message for the battalion, which can get into the German "meat grinder".

We last saw Margot Robbie as the wily Harley Quinn embarking on an almost hopeless adventure in Suicide Squad. So what happens when she joins the Birds of Prey, a ladies' team of adventurers from the DC Universe? In addition to Harley, it includes the Black Canary, the Huntress and Rene Montoya.
I don't know about you, dear readers, but I even feel a little sorry for the main villain Black Mask (Ewan McGregor). It is unlikely that all his Jedi tricks from a past life will help confront such desperate ladies.

February will be generous with interesting movies, and this month we will see the adventures of the fastest hedgehog in the world.
The first trailer for this adaptation of the classic video game drew the ire of Sonic fans around the world, prompting Paramount Pictures to promise that they will update the character's appearance.
This led to the fact that the release of the painting was postponed from 2019 to 2020.And for good reason, because the updated trailer featuring the transformed Sonic, which was released in November 2019, was met with approval. We can only hope that the entire film about the confrontation between the superfast blue hedgehog and the evil Dr. Robotnik will not disappoint the audience.

In the beginning, this super-soldier, the result of the experiments of the American military, does not remember anything from his past.
