Year of the Fire Horse

In the Chinese zodiac 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse.

 We saw the first nod to the Fire Horse in the movie GOAT which came out in February.

The character Mane Attraction is a horse who plays for the team MAGMA.

The next reference to the Horse came in March via the movie Project Hail Mary.

There's no direct reference to a Fire Horse...

...but if we look at Ryan Goslings role in Blade Runner 2049 one of his key 'memory scenes' involves this wooden horse and a burning furnace.

We also see reference to this ashtray.

 The Fire Horse is a little more obvious in July's big movie The Odyssey.

 I like how Matt Damon voiced this horse in the movie Spirit.

 

 I've noticed one other repeating theme in this years big movies and that is the Eye.

The one-eyed Cyclops will feature in The Odyssey and we saw a subtle nod to it in the June release of Disclosure Day.

This years World Cup shows a giant Eye in the centre of the pitch in every pre-match ceremony.

 All of the players enter it prior to kick off.

The other big movie of July is Minions & Monsters.

 

Which follows on from this months Supergirl. 

 

The signs suggest we keep our eyes peeled.
