Space capes, a royal wedding, and 25 other pop culture things to look forward to in 2018
Sense8, Avengers: Infinity War, Veep, and 24 more things to look forward to in 2018

At the end of 2016, we naively hoped 2017 would be better. Instead, 2017 turned out to be so bad that we’re basically dreading 2018. Because if there’s one thing we learned this year, it’s that no matter how nasty things get, they can still get worse.
And yet.

The other big lesson we got this year was that even at the worst of days, there’s always gonna be stuff to adoration, and still more stuff to look forward to caring.
So, sure, 2018 is likely gonna suck. But it won’t be all bad, and we know that because there are at least 27 things we expect to be freakin’ awesome over the next 12 months.
In no particular order TAGEND
1. Cap’s beard in Avengers: Infinity War
youtube
Yes, we already got a glimpse of it in the trailer. But imagine how much better it’ll look in action: ruffle as Cap flies through the air to punch a bad guy, rustling as Cap strokes it thoughtfully, standing stiffly at attention while Cap delivers an inspirational speech. Honestly, Cap’s beard might already be our new favorite Avenger.
2. Rihanna hosting the Met Gala
Just weeks before “shes trying to” pull off a robbery at the Met Gala in Ocean’s 8 !
3. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s press tour for Mary Poppins Returns

The Hamilton mastermind is one of of the most likable celebrities we have right now, and no one is better than Disney at deploying starring charisma.
4. Find out what the hell the next Cloverfield movie is about
We have no earthly notion what’s going on with this film, formerly titled God Particle , but that’s part of the fun.
5. Eating all our moods in Donut County
youtube
If 2017 made you want to take everything in the whole world and hurl it in a big hole, Donut County is here to realize that dream. You play as a pit, and as you swallow more and more things, the hole grows and changes to help you ingest absolutely everything. Perfect.- Kellen Beck
6. Westworld ‘s Samurai World
Remember when Westworld Season 1 ended in 2016, and we mourned because 2018 felt so far away? Well, it’s virtually here now- and with any luck, the new running of episodes should take us into some new corners of the universe, including Samurai World.
7. Eleanor and Chidi’s romance( probably) in The Good Place
youtube
It seems inevitable that these two will be back in each other’s arms, even if the hows and whys aren’t quite clear.
8. Beyonce at Coachella
Even those of us who can’t afford tickets will be scouring the web for clips and pics from this momentous occasion. And since Eminem will be there too, dare we hope for a live performance of “Walk on Water”?
9. Paddington’s stay in prison
youtube
Do you think they’ll let us bring marmalade sandwiches into the visitor room?
10. The What We Do in the Shadows em> spinoff
If you haven’t realized Taika Waititi’s laugh-out-loud funny vampire mockumentary yet, do that- and then keep your eyes peeled for news on Wellington Paranormal , a Tv spinoff about the oblivious cops.
11. Chance the Rapper becoming Chance the Actor
youtube
That SNL hosting gig was no fluke- Opportunity the Rapper is ready to show off his chops as relevant actors. His first feature film performance will be in Slice , an indie fright flick about the murder of a pizza delivery guy. It’s from A24, so you know it’ll be idiosyncratic and likely brilliant.
12. Something something Winter Olympics
We never truly plan to watch the Winter Olympics. It merely kind of happens, and then we find ourselves getting behavior more invested than we expected, and by the end of it all we’re armchair experts in a bunch of athletics we never knew we ever desired.( Ditto the World Cup .)
13. Henry Cavill’s Mission: Impossible 6 mustache
Aside from my fashionable nipple attachments this didn’t feel so bad. Becomes out that behind me is a 1980 ft virtually sheer drop. I say “turns out” but my adrenaline was highly aware of it at the time! Seriously though, I am so appreciative of all the unbelievable places that this movie has taken me and all of the wild and wonderful things that it has asked me to do. #MI6 #MoustacheImpossible #Norway
A post shared by Henry Cavill (@ henrycavill) on Nov 9, 2017 at 3:09 am PST
This contractually obligated mustache is the reason Henry Cavill’s upper lip seemed so funny through much of Justice League . Time to find out if it was worth it.
14. Trans talents get the spotlight in Pose
Everyone in Hollywood love paying lip service to LGBTQ inclusion; far fewer people in Hollywood are actually doing something about it. Ryan Murphy is one of those few. With over 50 LGBTQ characters- including, according to FX, “the most trans series regulars ever” on American TV- and trans writers and administrators behind the camera, Pose is a show that actually walks the walk.
15. Harry and Meghan’s royal wedding

— Kensington Palace (@ KensingtonRoyal) December 21, 2017
A few weeks after the due date for Will and Kate’s third child. It’s a big year for the Windsors!
Speaking of which …
16. Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown
Alas, Claire Foy’s time as Queen Elizabeth II has come to an end. But we expect Olivia Colman will do a brilliant job of stepping into her sensible, low-heeled pumps in Season 3.( Presuming The Crown Season 3 actually arrives in 2018, that is- Netflix has yet to announce a release date .)
17. Jonah Ryan’s presidential campaign in Veep
youtube
Should Jonah Ryan actually win the White House, Veep ‘s reality might ultimately become as darknes and depressing as ours.
18. The liberate of Terry Gilliam’s The Man Who Killed Don Quixote
This film’s famously troubled 20 -year development process is itself the stuff of legend( and the subject of a 2002 documentary ). Which is why it blows our heads to recognize we are able to actually get to see it next year. No, seriously- Gilliam’s ultimately finished killing it and everything.
19. Sense8 getting the finale it deserves
youtube
Netflix cancelled the sci-fi drama in June 2017, but the subsequent outpouring of heartbreak and adoration was so overwhelming that they were inspired to greenlight a two-hour finale episode. Savor it, sensates – you’ve earned it.
20. Jessica Jones get a new jacket in Season 2
We enjoyed the leather jacket, but it’s about time our favorite don’t-say-superhero expanded her wardrobe.
21. The first girl Doctor
youtube
Peter Capaldi will be affectionately missed, but we cannot wait to see what Jodie Whittaker will do as the 13 th Doctor- and the first one in a female body.
22. Mahershala Ali and Carmen Ejogo in True Detective Season 3
Sure, True Detective has had its ups and downs. But if Ali and Ejogo are in, so are we.
23. The long-awaited return of Kingdom Hearts
youtube
Kingdom Hearts II came out more than 12 years ago, and as the years dragged on the possibility of setting up the series turning into a trilogy seemed less and less likely. But Kingdom Hearts III is actually, ultimately coming in 2018 with all of the Disney and Final Fantasy characters we’ve come to desire. And now that Disney owns half of the amusement world, maybe we’ll get to run into some new characters in the series, like the Avengers or some porgs.- Kellen Beck
24. Joe Cornish’s next movie
If you watched Attack the Block ( starring future stormtrooper John Boyega and future Doctor Jodie Whittaker ), you know exactly why we’re eager to read director Joe Cornish’s sophomore try, The Kid Who Would Be King .
25. Regina George’s Broadway debut
youtube
It’s time to see Mean Girls in a whole new light- by which we mean stage lighting, since the musical adaptation hits the Great White Way this year.
26. Lando Calrissian’s space capes in Solo: A Star Wars Story
can you guess whose wardrobe this is? #UntitledHanSoloMovie pic.twitter.com/ 1gB17Rt1vN
— Ron Howard (@ RealRonHoward) July 11, 2017
Donald Glover is one of those dudes who can pull off a brown velvet tux and make it appear easy. Lando Calrissian is one of those dudes who has an entire closet full of sweet space capes just waiting to be worn. This casting could not be more perfect.
27. Jason Statham combating a prehistoric shark in The Meg
Sometimes you simply want to watch a movie about a ridiculously muscular humankind fighting a ridiculously giant animal.( See also: Dwayne Johnson’s Rampage .)
WATCH: Apparently, this is the coloring you will see everywhere in 2018
