There is a lot of exciting things happening in Hollywood when it comes to 2019. The year will be witness to two of the biggest movie events of all time. Not branding Disney here, but it is a pure coincidence that these two movies are being backed by the biggest movie studio in the world right now. Of course, one of them is the superhero saga Avengers Endgame, the concluding portion of the Infinity War saga. The other being the ninth episode of Star Wars saga (not counting the spinoffs), with JJ Abrams returning to helm the film. We have already covered all the superhero movies to watch for in 2019, so ICYMI, please check this out - Avengers: Endgame, Captain Marvel, Shazam! - 9 Superhero Movies We Are Super-Excited To Watch in 2019!

But 2019 isn't just about superhero movies. There are plenty of other big-screen spectacles awaiting us the year ahead, some being part of franchises, some reboots and some standalone movies. In this special feature, we look at 30 such films, that are not of the superhero variety, and yet are made on some very exciting stuff.
