April sees the return of the Fast & Furious family with a poignant seventh instalment in the franchise: it marks the last opportunity to see the late actor Paul Walker onscreen. There's also teen drama The DUFF; critically-acclaimed The Falling and Juaja; and musical The Last Five Years. In a rather bizarre coincidence, a couple of actors make their directorial debuts in April: Russell Crowe with The Water Diviner and Ryan Gosling with Lost River, and Alan Rickman returns to the directing chair with A Little Chaos. They've been met with mixed (mostly poor-average) reviews so it'll be interesting to see how the movies are received by British audiences.
Also, there's a little film about a couple of superheroes (Avengers: Age of Ultron) but it's so small I doubt anyone will have even heard of it, let alone plan on seeing it...
All films below are released in cinemas in April in the U.K.: some may have already opened abroad so if you're outside the U.K. then do check your local cinemas for film times and release dates.
