Will it be the biggest movie of 2022? Bigger than Top Gun: Maverick's massive $716 million domestic haul? Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is perhaps the year's most anticipated movie, for several reasons: Fans are anxious to see how the sequel to the 2018 smash hit will honor late star Chadwick Boseman, not to mention who will take up the titular mantle; and can the movie capture the same glory as the Black Panther, which was the first Marvel movie to get a Best Picture Oscar nomination?

And big things are happening on the small screen, where the fifth season of Netflix's The Crown makes it debut — along with a new cast: Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II, Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, Dominic West as Prince Charles, Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana, and Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret.

Plus, Yellowstone returns for its fifth season, The Handmaid's Tale wraps up its current installment, Christine Baranski & Co. put up one final Good Fight, and Lindsay Lohan makes her comeback in the Netflix holiday movie Falling for Christmas.
