November 2022 will see the release of more of this year’s most anticipated movies, such as the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a black comedy horror movie, and the newest projects of Alejandro González Iñárritu, Steven Spielberg, Noah Bauchman, and Luca Guadagnino. October saw the arrival of horror movies like Terrifier 2 and Halloween Ends, along with the dramas Tár, The Good Nurse, and My Policeman, the rom-com Ticket to Paradise, and DC’s Black Adam, to add more balance to the list. Some of these are already available to stream, such as Halloween Ends on Peacock, while others will be available on other platforms soon, as is the case of My Policeman on Prime Video.

November, then, will welcome the highly-anticipated sequel to Marvel’s Black Panther, a black comedy-drama inspired by the life of its director, a black comedy horror movie starring Anya Taylor-Joy, a coming-of-age drama based on Steven Spielberg’s life, a coming-of-age movie about two cannibals, and a black comedy movie by Noah Bauchman.
