Default Re: future

will: intention
=> I will or I intend to run the race Sunday.

will be doing: future continuous action
=> I will be running the race Sunday.

am doing: present fact and continuous action
=> I am running the race Sunday. It's a fact!

All the best,

I will go to the cinema on Saturday.

Normally used to express an intention that is decided at the moment of speaking.

I will be studying for my exam all Saturday.

Used to look at an action in progress at a particular time in the future.

I am going to visit Stanley next week.

Present progressive used to talk about arrangements and other planned events. Used when there has been thought or discussion before the moment of speaking.
