Although it is a genre traditionally repudiated by the awards circuit – except when combined with some fashionable genre among critics – action films are an essential part of the film industry, especially when it comes to reporting profits at the box office.
Every year more films They join the calendar to offer large doses of adrenaline, sometimes seasoned with other genres such as science fiction, adventures or superheroes.

The movie Will Smith action and Martin Lawrence is scheduled to debut in theaters in the summer, but there hasn’t been much progress on the production and it’s unclear if the Hollywood strikes have affected it too much.
Of course, a new case of Mike Lowrey y Marcus Burnett It seems perfect for the summer box office, although a buddy movie is good at any time of the year.
For Argy
We still don’t know who will be next James Bond and, although Henry Cavill sounds in many bets, he will also try other spy worlds in For Argy.
Matthew Vaughn (Kingsman: Secret Service) directs this action-espionage thriller with Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O’Hara, Dua Lipa, Ariana DeBose, John Cena, Samuel L. Jackson y Rob Delaney accompanying Henry Cavill.
