The 10 Movies We're Most Looking Forward to in 2017
• https://www.wired.comStar Wars: Episode VIII
Lining up to see this one is a no-brainer. But even more than being the next Star Wars saga film—and marking the return of Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega), and all our other friends—it's Rian Johnson's Star Wars saga film. So for fans of Johnson's mind-bending films like Brick and Looper, this is a big deal. We doubt Episode VIII will have time travel or teenage detectives, but we can't wait to find out. —Angela Watercutter

Wonder Woman
First, let's get one thing out of the way: We're a little disappointed Suicide Squad helmer David Ayer is in line to direct the Harley Quinn spinoff Gotham City Sirens. But, on the other side of the DC universe, we're very glad Monster's Patty Jenkins is directing Wonder Woman's standalone film. Based on the footage that was shown this year at Comic-Con International, and the first full trailer, it looks like the kind of bullet-deflecting, lassoing good time we've come to expect from Diana Prince. If there's any justice in the world, this should be stellar. —Angela Watercutter
Release Date: June 2
Alien: Covenant
So, look. Prometheus wasn't what we'd call essential cinema. But the truth is, we'll still line up to go back into the world of Alien any chance we get. Ridley Scott is directing, and Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace are back reprising their roles from Prometheus, so this is worth a shot. (James Franco and Danny McBride are also mysteriously on the cast list. So there's that.) Also, the alien in the first poster (right) gave us chills—in all the best ways. —Angela Watercutter
