Anticipating itself as the great winner of the 2020 film year, marked by the pandemic, Netflix announced on Sunday the list of its premieres scheduled for 2021, with no less than 70 feature films and a shower of stars.
–
The Power of the dog.
–
Don´t Look Up.
–
The Harder They Fall.
–
The ad is unusual for the video-on-demand platform, which generally only releases one movie at a time.
The company now far outstrips the output of all Hollywood studios.
–
Red Notice.
–
Gal Gadot will give something to talk about.
–
Leonardo DiCaprio, among the actors contemplated.

The presentation comes just after that of the Warner Bros. studio, which to a general surprise announced that it would release simultaneously in theaters and on its HBO Max platform all its films scheduled for 2021, 17 in total.
From dramas to comedies, science fiction, horror and even western, the online video service has dabbled in the main genres of modern cinema, with some titles that can aspire to receive the most prestigious awards in cinema.
–
Dwayne Johnson, another of the stars included.
–
Ryan Reynolds is on the list.
–
Regina King.

Netflix only released the release dates for ten movies, all scheduled between early January and mid-March. Along with the list of films, the platform released a short promotional video highlighting the stars, featuring Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman 1984), Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (Fast and Furious or Jumanji) and Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool).
The bet goes further and, in addition to them, releases films with Regina King, Adrien Brody, Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock, Octavia Spencer, Jeremy Irons, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, all Oscar winners.

As for the directors, among the signings the also Oscar-winning New Zealand Jane Campion, with The Power of the Dog, as well as the American actress Halle Berry and the playwright and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda (director of the musical Hamilton), the latter two for the first time behind the camera.
Among the most anticipated feature films are Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up with Leonardo DiCaprio, as well as The Harder They Fall, a western co-produced by rapper Jay-Z with an all-African-American cast.
Netflix also seems to bet a lot on Red Notice, with Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds, an action film whose budget would amount to 160 million dollars according to various US media.
Asked by AFP, Netflix did not specify whether these films will be screened in theaters.
