Jupiter Ascending
Director: Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski
Cast: Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, Eddie Redmayne
Genre: Action adventure
Plot: Hot on the heels of their ambitious adaptation of Cloud Atlas , the Wachowskis return with another scintillating slice of sci-fi. Jupiter Ascending stars Mila Kunis as Jupiter Jones, a Russian cleaner targeted for murder by the Queen of the Universe. Channing Tatum’s interplanetary warrior Caine is the one sent to carry the job out. This should be operatic and reliably-kooky stuff from the directors of The Matrix.

Genre: Superhero Sci-Fi
Plot: While it's arguable that every Marvel project to date has been pretty risky, Guardians of the Galaxy is undoubtedly the most tricksy of all their Phase 2 titles.
