"Tony definitely is brought out of his comfort zone, so there's a lot of travel in this," Downey said. Two weeks later comes "Star Trek: Into Darkness," with headstrong Capt. Kirk (Chris Pine) still feeling the growing pains as he struggles to protect his crew from peril while realizing that he doesn't have all the answers. Not quite the brassy Kirk we remember from William Shatner's days on the bridge. "He's not the Capt. Kirk that we knew before. He's not the mature leader of men yet," Pine said. "It brings all of his kind of brash, all-knowing sense of himself up against the reality of, "well, do you really know what you're doing?'" Other highlights for May through August: Bradley Cooper and his gang in "The Hangover Part III"; Vin Diesel and his gang in "Fast and Furious 6"; Adam Sandler and his gang in "Grown Ups 2"; Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role of "The Great Gatsby"; Henry Cavill as Superman in "Man of Steel"; Brad Pitt and zombies in "World War Z"; Will Smith and son Jaden in the sci-fi adventure "After Earth"; Billy Crystal and John Goodman voicing the "Monsters, Inc." prequel "Monsters University"; Jamie Foxx and Channing Tatum in the Oval Office thriller "White House Down"; the return of the little blue folks in "The Smurfs 2"; "Wedding Crashers" pals Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson in the comedy "The Internship"; Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer as trail buddies in "The Lone Ranger"; Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi's sci-fi battle "Pacific Rim"; Steve Carell's animated sequel "Despicable Me 2"; Hugh Jackman's superhero follow-up "The Wolverine"; Matt Damon's futuristic thriller "Elysium"; the ancient Greece follow-up "300: Rise of an Empire"; and Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg's crime story "2 Guns." FALL AND HOLIDAYS Part two of "The Hobbit" may own next Christmas, but Thanksgiving will be all about "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire." Jennifer Lawrence is back as reluctant hero Katniss, hurled back into competition against fellow past winners of the life-or-death games. The usual worry after a critical and commercial smash is whether the sequel can match up. Lawrence isn't sweating that, though. "I didn't think, we've got to do as good or better, which is probably a very basic thing to think about. It's probably a good idea to think that way," Lawrence said. "But I didn't. Then when I read the script and started seeing everything developing, I really did think it could be better. And I'm definitely not worrying about it being worse or disappointing. I don't even consider that." Other highlights for September through December: the animated sequel "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2"; 3-D reissues of "The Little Mermaid" and the "Star Wars" prequels "Attack of the Clones" and "Revenge of the Sith"; Tom Hanks' Somali pirate saga "Captain Phillips"; Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore's new take on Stephen King's "Carrie"; Vince Vaughn's sperm-donor comedy "Delivery Man"; Chris Hemsworth's superhero sequel "Thor: The Dark World"; the animated TV cartoon adaptation "Mr. Peabody & Sherman"; the wintry animated adventure "Frozen"; Will Ferrell's comedy sequel "Anchorman II"; Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson's "Mary Poppins" behind-the-scenes story "Saving Mr. Banks"; Chris Pine's Tom Clancy thriller "Jack Ryan"; Keanu Reeves' samurai adventure "47 Ronin"; George Clooney's World War II tale "The Monuments Men"; and Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline's bachelor bash "Last Vegas."
