Written by: Steve Kloves
Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Warwick Davis, Tom Felton, Ralph Fiennes, Michael Gambon, Jason Isaacs, Alan Rickman, David Thewlis, Julie Walters and Bonnie Wright
J.K. Rowling’s beloved fantasy-adventure series comes to an end with this 3-D finale in which the battle between the good and evil forces in the Wizarding world escalates into an all-out war on the grounds of Hogwarts. Harry Potter (Radcliffe) is called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice to vanquish Lord Voldemort (Fiennes) once and for all. For Harry, Ron (Grint) and Hermione (Watson) — as well as the landmark $2 billion-grossing franchise — it all ends here. (Warner Bros.)
‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ (July 22)
Written by: Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely
Starring: Chris Evans, Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving, Hayley Atwell, Sebastian Stan, Dominic Cooper, Toby Jones, Neal McDonough, Derek Luke and Stanley Tucci
In this look at the early days of the Marvel Universe set during World War II, Evans, who’s already embodied the Human Torch on-screen, stars as Steve Rogers, a wannabe soldier deemed unfit for military service. He signs up for an experimental program instead and is transformed into a supersoldier dubbed Captain America. Joining forces with Bucky Barnes (Stan) and Peggy Carter (Atwell), Captain America wages war on the evil HYDRA organization led by the villainous Red Skull (Weaving) — in 3-D. Johnston, who directed last year’s “The Wolfman,” is at the helm. (Paramount Pictures)
‘Cowboys & Aliens’ (July 29)
Written by: Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, Damon Lindelof, Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby
Starring: Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Adam Beach, Paul Dano and Noah Ringer
Director Favreau sets aside the $630 million-grossing “Iron Man” franchise to helm this Western/alien-invasion hybrid based on Scott Mitchell Rosenberg’s 2006 graphic novel. It’s 1875, New Mexico Territory, and a stranger (Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the Old West town of Absolution. It soon becomes clear that he’s not welcome and that no one makes a move unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford). But when they’re attacked with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights from the sky and abducted one by one, the only hope for their survival is the curious shackle around the gunslinger’s wrist. Wilde co-stars as a mysterious traveler. (Universal Pictures)
