Fans weigh in on Fandango
See what movies top their summer list.
Deadpool 2’ s Ryan Reynolds and Chris Pratt, who stars in both Avengers: Infinity War and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, are looking to rock your summer movies.
Both stars dominate a survey of most-anticipated summer movies and stars by Fandango.com for USA TODAY. The ticket site surveyed more than
4,500 visitors who described themselves as frequent moviegoers and asked them to weigh in on films out between April 27 and Labor Day.
Marvel’s superhero extravaganza Avengers: Infinity War (out April 27) easily earned the top spot as mostanticipated movie of summer.
Deadpool 2 (May 18), Reynolds’ follow-up to his 2016 hit, finished second on the list, even beating out Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25), which was third. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (June
22), the second installment of Pratt’s dinosaur mega-franchise, was fourth, followed by Pixar’s Incredibles 2 (June 15).
Reynolds won the poll’s fan-favorite actor, followed by Pratt, Denzel Washington (starring in The Equalizer 2, out July 20) and Infinity War’s Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans.
One surprise: Sandra Bullock (Ocean’s
8, June 8) as favorite actress. She topped Infinity War’s Scarlett Johansson and Zoe Saldana (No. 2 and 4), Solo’s Emilia Clarke (third) and Melissa McCarthy (fifth) in Life of the Party (May 11).
Projects led by women were shut out of the summer blockbusters but reigned among most-anticipated live-action comedies, topped by Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon’s The Spy Who Dumped Me (Aug. 3), Crazy Rich Asians (Aug. 17) and Book Club (May 18).
