Kicking off July is Spider-Man — Homecoming, which releases on Friday (7 July 2017). Marvel fans will delight in the story of Peter Parker/Spiderman (Tom Holland) who, after the events of Captain America: Civil War, with the help of his mentor Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), tries to balance his life as a high school student while fighting crime. However, when a new threat emerges, he has to leave his text books behind to save humankind.

Next up is a historical action film Dunkirk, which releases on 28 July 2017. The film is based on true events — of the evacuation of some 400 000 Allied soldiers from the beach of Dunkirk, France during World War II. The film tells the story of the soldiers’ fight for survival while being surrounded by the German army and evacuated during a fierce battle, while waiting to be rescued. Central characters include Commander Bolton (five-time Oscar-nominated actor, Kenneth Branagh) fighter pilot, Farrier (Tom Hardy) and soldier Alex (Harry Styles of boy band One Direction fame).
