Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg and Karl Urban are all back while Benedict Cumberbatch is the big new addition to the cast list - it really does look like he is going to make a fantastic villain.

He says he is planning to meet and escape with the love of his life, Juniper, who is waiting for him in town. Skeptical but intrigued, Ellis and Neckbone agree to help him.
The Great Gatsby - released 16th May
It has been a fair old while since we have seen Baz Luhrmann in the director's chair but this month he is back with an adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel.
Luhrmann's movies always tend to be visually lavish affair and this promises to be not different - all of the trailers we have been treated to so far have looked fantastic.
The movie reunites Luhrmann with Leonardo DiCaprio while Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher and Tobey Maguire are all also on board.
Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan.
It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits.
Fast & Furious 6 - released 17th May.
It was 2001 when we were introduced to the Fast and the Furious franchise for the first time... and over a decade later and the sixth movie is about to released.
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are back as Dom and Brian while Justin Lin is in the director's chair for the final time.
Diesel and Walker are not the only familiar faces on the cast list as Dwayne Johnson, Jordana Brewster and Tyrese Gibson are all back while Luke Evans and Gina Carano are the new faces to watch out for.
The franchise took a different path last time as Fast 5 brought in a heist movie element and that proved to be a big success. But Fast & Furious 6 is set to be the biggest and most daring movie yet.
Agent Hobbs enlists the aid of Dom and team to help bring a rival gang, led by Owen Shaw, to justice in exchange for clean records.
A seventh film is set to begin filming this summer but Lin will not be at the helm this time around.

This time, there’s no wedding. No bachelor party. What could go wrong, right? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off.
This is one of the most talked about comedy movies of the year so far as the franchise is set to go out with a huge bang.
Byzantium - released 31st May
