The evaporation residue (ER) cross sections for ${}^{50}\mathrm{Ti}$-induced fusion reactions are calculated in the framework of the dinuclear system (DNS) model. The theoretical results demonstrate reasonable agreement with available experimental data. The primary goal of these calculations is to explore the potential of ${}^{50}\mathrm{Ti}$ as the projectile in the synthesis of superheavy new nuclides and elements. Subsequently, ER cross sections for ${}^{50}\mathrm{Ti}$ projectiles interacting with actinide targets, including isotopes of U, Np, Pu, Am, and Cm, were predicted. The predicted maximum ER cross sections approximately fall within the range of 0.01–0.1 pb, which may fill gaps in the existing nuclide chart. Furthermore, the reactions ${}^{50}\mathrm{Ti}+\mathrm{Bk}$ and ${}^{50}\mathrm{Ti}+\mathrm{Cf}$ as isotope targets, which lead to new superheavy nuclei with atomic numbers $Z=119$ and 120, were also studied. However, the ER cross sections for these systems drop to the femtobarn level.
