Thinsg to Come (sh. Stvari koje će doći), ponekad prevođen i kao Ono što doći, je britanski science fiction film snimljen 1936. godine u režiji Williama Camerona Menziesa, koji se smatra jednim od najboljih, odnosno najuticajnijih ostvarenja SF-žanra u međuratnom periodu.

Things to Come predstavlja adaptaciju romana The Shape of Things to Come SF-pisca H. G. Wellsa, koji je za njega napisao i scenario. Radnja prikazuje buduću historiju svijeta od 1940. do 2036. godine, i to iz perspektive fiktivnog britanskog "Svakograda" ("Everytown"), a počinje izbijanjem svjetskog rata koji će tokom decenija gotovo uništiti civilizaciju koju na kraju obnavlja grupa tehnokratskih stručnjaka stvarajući svjetsku vladu i utopijsko društvo temeljeno isključivo na naučnom progresu.

Film je producirao mađarski sineast Alexander Korda, koji je, kako bi što efektnije dočarao tehnološki svijet budućnosti, angažirao svog zemljaka, uglednog umjetnika i dizajnera Lászlóa Moholy-Nagyja. Zbog toga se Things to Come smatra jednim od najimpresivnijih vizija budućnosti svog doba, i često spominje uz nešto poznatiji Langov Metropolis. Kasnijim historičarima filma je postao zanimljiv kao jedan od prvih SF-filmova s epskim ambicijama, odnosno po tome što je koristio motive distopije i postapokaliptičnog žanra. Često ga se tumači kao svojevrsno upozorenje na predstojeće događaje, pogotovo u scenama ratnih razaranja na samom početku, koji podsjećaju na stvarni rat, odnosno razaranje Britanije koje će se uistinu dogoditi četiri godine kasnije.

Things to Come je originalno distribuiran u trajanju od 108 minuta, ali je danas sačuvana jedino skraćena verzija od 96 minuta, napravljena za američko tržište.
