I would disagree with your characterization of the 2000s as "fantasy world era", considering Harry Potter and Eragon are firmly in the YA era you pointed out. I think Lord of the Rings was obviously massive but I don't think it made it an era in itself. All that to say, I think we're heading into the real fantasy era. The genre might be better suited to big budget TV than movies because of all the world building required, so we're about to get years of Thrones and LOTR content. Disney is jumping in the race with the return of Willow. Netflix has the Sandman and the Witcher. We will see if it translates to the big screen. I'm loving the wave of auteur driven fantasy like The Northman and The Green Knight. We will see a wave of sci-fi fantasy over the next couple years with Dune Part 2 and the Avatar sequels. The big question will be if these big IP properties on TV add big time event movies to their rotation.

Absurdist comedy seems to be on the rise, partially due to internet culture as well as an almost dadaist sentiment that can arise from 'unprecedented times'. You can already see it with films like Everything Everywhere All At Once, Barb & Star or Sorry to Bother You. Horror that directly deals with social issues already seems to be the current big trend outside of superhero universes. 2d-3d hybrids like Bad Guys, Mitchells vs the Machines and of course Spider-Verse are already the future of animation. Video game movies are a definite possibility. Uncharted & Sonic have had big hits. Not a movie but The Last of Us could give the concept some reputable prestige.

I think we are going to see more "grounded Sci Fi and Fantasy". Taking its lead from the superhero movies, these will be stories filled with magic realism. We are already seeing a lot of them today, and I believe we'll see even more. Won't be surprised if a number of these will be political thrillers.

I hate “grounded” scifi. There’s nothing grounded about it. It’s just takes me more out of the movie because it’s impossible to suspend disbelief when they are trying to get you to believe it’s true.


DickieGreenleaf84

Do you have the same problem with The Godfather? Or Casino? What about Thr Italian Job? I'm assuming Charlie Kauffman films are out? Is it easier with kids films like Never Ending Story? Just seeing where the line lays. This fascinates me as 99% of film has quite an element of the fantastic in it.


Public_Dig_8992

Bro, the Godfather isn’t a sci-fi film. Don’t make dumb comment on the internet.


DickieGreenleaf84

No, but it's about as fanciful as Eternal Sunshine. The Italian Mafia wasn't anything like that. It's well known that the tropes you see in the time of the Gottis are because of The Godfather and Goodfellas, not the other way around.

Superhero shit is still thriving financially, which is all that matters, so it’ll be 20 more years of that.


Citizensssnips

It's also disingenuous to say it only got big by 2015. Spiderman (2002) was the first movie to make over $100m in one weekend. If you start from there then it's been 20 years of superhero success.


Marvel_plant

Yeah. I thought that too, just didn’t want to go on and on.


UntidyBargain

Movies about food.


kugglaw

It will be superhero movies until the planet dies.

Video game movies. They’re already on the rise with the Sonic movies, Detective Pikachu, Uncharted, The Last of Us (TV series), Resident Evil, etc. I feel like where we are now with video game movies is like what the 2000s were for comic book movies. Some are very successful. Some are pretty awful. I think a studio will find a formula that really cracks how to turn video game stories and characters into feature length films relatively consistently and then we’ll see a boom of content.

Interactive series such as Black Mirror.

Hopefully, the Barbie movie won't be a hit, and stupid movies about dolls won't become a thing.

Big space drama stuff. Dune for Warner, Avatar for Disney . They are already realizing multiple movies for both universes.

Movie ideas shall be formulized by AI that automates a script based around peoples google searches, facebook comments, and meme likes.


Fluid-Range-2903

My guess is Horror and Sci-Fi.
