Fourteen trailers, one channel, and the entire spring release calendar laid out in eight minutes.

KinoCheck.com, the German trailer aggregator that’s become one of YouTube’s go-to clearinghouses for movie previews, dropped its “THE BEST UPCOMING MOVIES 2020” compilation on January 24, 2020. The reel stitches together fresh promotional footage from late 2019 and early January into a single rundown of what’s coming to theaters and streaming over the next several months, mixing Marvel and Sony tentpoles with smaller Netflix originals and one Disney+ young-adult adaptation.

• The lineup runs fourteen titles deep, from Marvel’s Black Widow starring Scarlett Johansson to Sony’s comic-book bets Bloodshot (Vin Diesel) and Morbius (Jared Leto).
• Netflix supplies six of the fourteen films in the reel, including Mark Wahlberg’s Spenser Confidential, Dee Rees’ The Last Thing He Wanted, and the sequel To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You.
• Disney+ gets its lone entry with Stargirl, while Paramount rounds things out with the Kumail Nanjiani-Issa Rae comedy The Lovebirds.

The Marvel and Sony Anchors

Black Widow leads the pack for obvious reasons — it’s Scarlett Johansson’s first solo outing as Natasha Romanoff after nearly a decade of supporting turns across the MCU, with the trailer footage in the compilation built around her confronting pieces of her past she’s spent years running from. Sony leans into its Marvel-adjacent universe with two separate comic titles: Vin Diesel’s Bloodshot, playing a resurrected supersoldier with nanotech-enhanced healing, and Jared Leto’s Morbius, the studio’s next attempt at a Venom-style antihero franchise. Readers who want the deeper dive on that character can check the standalone Morbius Teaser Trailer #1 breakdown.

The Streaming Push

Netflix’s presence in the reel is the clearest signal of how the release calendar was shifting in January 2020, before any theatrical disruption entered the picture. Spenser Confidential puts Mark Wahlberg back in ex-cop territory, Dee Rees’ The Last Thing He Wanted is a political thriller adapted from Joan Didion’s novel, and To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You continues the romance franchise that turned Lana Condor into a streaming star. Netflix also backs the biographical drama Sergio, the psychological character study Horse Girl, and the CGI-animated Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution, giving the platform six of the fourteen films previewed — nearly half the compilation.

Fourteen trailers. Six of them Netflix originals. One channel’s snapshot of how the spring 2020 slate was actually shaping up before a single frame hit theaters.

The Theatrical Wild Cards

Beyond the franchise names, the compilation makes room for the kind of mid-budget genre swings studios use to test audiences early in the year. Blake Lively headlines the action thriller The Rhythm Section, Daniel Radcliffe stars in the deliberately absurd action-comedy Guns Akimbo, and Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway brings back the live-action/CGI hybrid format for a sequel run. Disney+ contributes its own young-adult adaptation with Stargirl, based on Jerry Spinelli’s novel, while Paramount’s The Lovebirds rounds out the theatrical-adjacent slate with a road-trip comedy built around Nanjiani and Rae’s chemistry.

Significance of Strategic Timing

Late January is when studios typically start layering trailers ahead of Super Bowl spots and the first wave of spring release dates, and this KinoCheck reel captures that exact window. Every title in it was tied to a footage drop from the preceding weeks, which is why the compilation reads less like a “best of the year” list and more like a real-time snapshot of what marketing departments were pushing hardest as 2020’s release calendar started to take shape.

Of the fourteen, Black Widow was the one carrying the most box-office weight into the year, with Sony’s Bloodshot arriving first on the calendar in March to test whether Vin Diesel could open a new franchise outside the Fast Saga. For a look at how the genre side of that same release window was stacking up, KinoCheck’s companion reel — The Best Upcoming HORROR Movies 2020 & 2021 (Trailers) — covers the titles this compilation left out.
