There is something for everyone at the movies this summer, both in theaters and streaming at home.

This month, audiences can bid farewell to the Guardians of the Galaxy, go to Italy with Jane Fonda, Diane Keaton, Mary Steenburgen and Candice Bergen, or under the sea with Halle Bailey and Melissa McCarthy.

June brings “Indiana Jones 5,” a “Spider-Verse” sequel, “The Flash,” a new Pixar pic and one film many have already called the best of the year (“Past Lives”).

And things get really exciting in July with the highly anticipated debuts of “Oppenheimer,” “Mission: Impossible 7,” and “Barbie,” while August promises a new take on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and introduces a new DC superhero, Blue Beetle.

Here’s a month-by-month guide of this summer’s new movies. (Release dates are subject to change.)

“The Equalizer 3” (Sony, theaters): Denzel Washington is back as Robert McCall, who is supposed to be retired from the assassin business but things get complicated in Southern Italy.
