We know we shouldn\u2019t be excited for the 14th sequel to a thing we didn\u2019t care much about the first time but we also want to know if maybe this time they got it right. Maybe it\u2019s the heat affecting our brains. And with the excitement for a new slate of movies comes overpreparing for the tentpole season with an overindulgence in hype. We also love to read everything about them. (This isn\u2019t just me, right?)<\/p>\n<p>This summer stands to be a surprising departure from the obvious. There\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/spider-man-4-promises-to-be-the-most-christopher-nolan-movie-of-the-marvel-series\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">only one Marvel movie<\/a>. The Star Wars movie <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/the-mandalorian-and-grogu-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">already happened<\/a>. A bunch of auteur types are showing up to do their thing at the largest scales imaginable. Cynics, buckle up \u2014 summer 2026 looks fun.<\/p>\n<p>For anyone who lives for trailer drops, release-date shuffles, and festival buzz, the next few months may already be mapped out in your head. But knowing that a big season is coming is one thing \u2014 being truly prepared for a stuffed calendar is another. So we made a quiz, one that will separate the true summer movie hypemasters from everyone who could use a friendly reminder of what\u2019s about to hit theaters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rr-subtitle\">Twenty movies.
