Say hello to summer movie season! As always, studios are bringing back familiar franchises — “Star Wars,” “Minions,” Marvel and “Toy Story” among them — to fuel the most profitable stretch for the industry.

Directors like Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg and Olivia Wilde will deliver original films that (gasp!) don’t have a numeral in their title. With the season underway, here are 10 summer movies we’re excited to see. Bring on the spandex-clad heroes, space-hopping adventurers and alien invasions — and brush up on your Homer!
The Mandalorian and Grogu
