Ah, that summery feeling! It's time to talk about all the blockbuster films on their way with the sunshine. From superhero stories to large-scale war flicks, we have you covered starting with "Wonder Woman," which is kicking off a wonderful-looking season of trips to the theater.

Here are the most-anticipated movies hitting theaters this summer.

#1 "Wonder Woman" (June 2) — Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, directed by Patty Jenkins

This summer looks very promising for fans of everyone's favorite female superhero. After her breakout role in "Batman v Superman," Gal Gadot stars as Wonder Woman in the legendary protagonist's first solo film, with Patty Jenkins at the helm. A period piece set during World War I, the film will explore a deeper side of the famed Amazon warrior and help explain her presence in the modern world.

Tom Cruise headlines "The Mummy" franchise reboot. Directed by Alex Kurtzman, the latest iteration tells the story of a malevolent and vengeful ancient princess (Sofia Boutella) awakened from her tomb beneath the desert. As she wreaks havoc in the modern day, she curses Cruise's character, Nick Morton, with mummy-like powers.

#3 "Spider-Man: Homecoming" (July 7) — Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Jon Watts

Tom Holland plays the man with the "spidey sense" in "Homecoming," the latest attempt to revitalize the superhero franchise. In the new movie, Spider-Man faces a villain named Vulture (Michael Keaton), and get ready for a guest appearance by none other than Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.). After Holland's rave reviews for his Spider-Man cameo in 2016's "Captain America: Civil War," this summer superhero flick is off to a good start.

#4 "War for the Planet of the Apes" (July 14) — Judy Greer, Andy Serkis, Woody Harrelson, Matt Reeves

Matt Reeves returns to direct "War for the Planet of the Apes," the third installment of the reboot series. Set two years after the events of the 2014 "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," this harrowing war story follows Caesar (Andy Serkis) and his band of apes through an epic battle against an army of humans led by a cold-hearted Colonel (Woody Harrelson). It'll offer up yet another strong connection between the new franchise and the old — aside from Caesar.

#5 "Dunkirk" (July 21) — Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, directed by Christopher Nolan

Christopher Nolan's "Dunkirk" portrays the miraculous 1940 rescue mission that ultimately saved thousands of British, French and other Allied soldiers trapped on the beaches of Dunkirk, France, by Nazi troops. Sound too straightforward of a story? Think again. "Dunkirk" was shot entirely on large-scale IMAX film stock, so it's safe to say that this flick will offer more than meets the eye.

#6 "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets" (July 21) — Cara Delevingne, Dane DeHaan, directed by Luc Besson

From Luc Besson, the visionary director of "The Fifth Element" and "Lucy," comes this comic book-inspired sci-fi adventure based on the classic graphic novel series "Valerian and Laureline." Set in the 28th century, special peace operatives Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) embark on a mission to the intergalactic city of Alpha to fight sinister forces out to destroy mankind. We smell massive spectacle appeal that's reminiscent of "The Fifth Element."

A spy tale set during the final days of the Berlin Wall, "Atomic Blonde" is a film adaptation of Antony Johnston's 2012 graphic novel, "The Coldest City." In the movie version, MI6 operative Lorraine Broughton (Charlize Theron) goes to Berlin to investigate the murder of an undercover agent. Along the way, she's joined by agent David Percival (James McAvoy).
