It is important to obtain the necessary rights and licenses before developing a game based on popular movies. This includes securing approval from the copyright and trademark owners as well as any other persons who may have an interest in the IPs being used. It might be possible to get permission directly from the copyright owner, through companies such as Film Makers Rights Society or United Talent Agency, if you present them with a plan showing how your game will increase interest in the underlying work rather than merely exploiting it for financial gain.

You should contact the legal department of the movies and explain your idea in order to receive authorisation. If you are unable to do so, you will need to change your game concept or find a way around using the characters and plot without authorization. There is no definitive answer, but finding a middle ground may be possible with sufficient negotiation.
