Nevertheless, in this article, you are going to get some of the leading action titles of this year on the big screen. Superhero slugfests and much more await your attention or repeat attention.
John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum
John Wick, played by Keanu Reeves, kills an ally of the assassin guild and runs away. Whoever gets him can get the reward of $14 million. He is the new target for everyone.

In this third sequence, you can see his weak and vulnerable side and also the invincible stillness that lends this movie a commanding presence. Fighting scenes get only more elaborate as the film progresses.
Shadow
The kingdom is suffering under the rule of a cruel king, and the commanderYu (Deng Chao) is at his service, of course out of helplessness, which is only about a matter of time. The one serving the king is just a shadow, a body double of the actual Commander Yu played by Deng only. He is nursing his wound and plotting to remove the king. The movie is for every martial arts lover.
Avengers: Endgame
Avengers is one of the gigantic superhero epics and best action movies of all time. Starting from where the Avengers: Infinity War (released in 2018) had left the events, Avengers: Endgame assembles the original Avengers along with some key associates to destroy Thanos. All the original superheroes Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Captain America, War Machine, Ant-Man, and others join the force with a single mission to end his life and restore balance in the universe. In the last Avenger movie, Thanos had wiped out half of the living population in the world triumphing over some of the Avengers either by killing them or dividing them.
Alita: Battle Angel
Giving a taste of sci-fi, Alita(Rosa Salazar), the cyborg, has lost her memory. Dr. Ido (Christoph Waltz) rescues her body from a scrap heap and takes care of her as he believes that she is a young woman with a heart and soul. Ido doesn’t want her to know her past; meanwhile, she tries to lead her newfound life. Her friend Hugo played by Keean Johnson, desires to help her with the memories. However, she finally realizes who she is after some corrupt forces chase her, and she encounters her fighting prowess. If she survives, she can become a savior of the world and everyone else.

Duncan Vizla, aka Black Kaiser (Mads Mikkelsen), is on the verge of retiring after being one of the leading assassins in the world. However, the situations change and compel him to get into the business once again. His soulful performance makes this movie more than enjoyable.
