So 2021 looks to be rounding out to have some pretty good movies coming out and pretty much something for everyone. Hopefully, we will be in a better place where we will be able to go back to the movies and watch them on the big screen.

So here is a few that look pretty good, what do you think?

I think I am so looking forward to this first one on the "The Last Duel" which will have both Matt Damon and Ben Affleck back together, which by the way they wrote this one together with Ridley Scott.

The Last Duel

Get Motivated/Youtube

Directed by: Ridley Scott
Starring: Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Adam Driver, Jodie Comer
Opening on: January 8, 2021
No official trailer has been released for this movie, but you won't have to wait long to see it. Opening on: January 8, 2021

Peter Rabbit 2

Fandango/Youtube

First the garden, then the world. The plot for this sequel to the surprise hit loosely based on the work of Beatrix Potter is still under lock and key, but we’re sure it will involve James Corden’s cheeky rabbit causing all sorts of PG-rated trouble. We do not expect any blackberries to be involved, however. Starring: Jessica Chastain, Fan Bingbing, Penélope Cruz, Lupita Nyong’o, Edgar Ramirez, Sebastian Stan, Diane Kruger, Emilio Insolera
Opening on: January 15, 2021

Cinderella Disney Live Version


Tommy Ross/Youtube

Another Cinderella story?, but what could be better than vocal legends like Idina Menzel and newcomers like Camila Cabello bringing a classic story to life? Starring: Camila Cabello, Billy Porter, Idina Menzel
Opening on: February 5, 2021

Ghostbusters Afterlife


Sony Pictures Entertainment

Jason Reitman will direct a sequel to the original Ghostbusters franchise, unrelated to the all-female reboot directed by Paul Feig in 2016. We still don’t know much about what the story will be, but as casting news trickled in, we did learn that Finn Wolfhard and Mckenna Grace will play a brother and sister, with Carrie Coon as their single mother, and Paul Rudd is in the film in an undisclosed role. We’re still waiting on word if the remaining original Ghostbusters will appear in the film. Originally slated to open on July 10, 2020, the film was pushed back due to concerns regarding the coronavirus outbreak. Directed by: Jason Reitman, Original Ghostbuster Ivan Reitman's son. Starring: Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Paul Rudd
Opening on: March 5, 2021

Coming To America 2

Amazon Prime Video

After over three decades, it looks like Prince Akeem — ahem, King Akeem and Semmi are returning Stateside from there homeland of Zamunda. Much of the original cast are returning, including James Earl Jones as King Jaffe Joffer and John Amos as Cleo McDowell, as Akeem learns that he has a long-lost son he never knew about who might be the heir to the throne. Starring: Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall, John Amos, James Earl Jones, Garcelle Beauvais, Wesley Snipes Opening on: March 5, 2021 on Amazon Prime (formerly December 18, 2020)

No Time To Die

James Bond 007

This will be the 25th James Bond film, with Daniel Craig returning for his fifth and (presumably) final turn as 007. He’s joined by series regulars Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Rory Kinnear, and Ben Whishaw, as well as returning characters played by Lea Seydoux and Jeffrey Wright. Recent Best Actor-winner Rami Malek is reported to play the villain, while it’s presumed Captain Marvel‘s Lashana Lynch will play a newer 007 who may have to relinquish her famous code number back to Bond when he comes out of retirement. Starring: Daniel Craig, Ralph Fiennes, Rami Malek, Naomie Harris, Lea Seydoux, Ben Whishaw, Rory Kinnear, Jeffrey Wright, Ana de Armas, Lashana Lynch
Opening on: April 2, 2021 (formerly November 25, 2020)

Top Gun Maverick

Paramount Pictures

It is finally coming out in 2021! getting a Top Gun sequel after 31 years! Not a whole lot is known about the movie, except that the filmmakers have recruited a cast of some of the most in-demand young actors in Hollywood including Miles Teller, who will play Goose’s son and that Val Kilmer is officially back as Iceman. And as the trailer released during Comic-Con promises, it will again feature Tom Cruise riding motorcycles, playing volleyball, and flying jets like a madman. Starring: Tom Cruise, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Val Kilmer, Jay Ellis, Miles Teller, Monica Barbaro
Opening on: July 2, 2021

Suicide Squad


Warner Bros. Pictures

2016’s Suicide Squad may be rotten, I personally liked it, but the 2021 follow-up might just redeem the series. Most of the primary cast is returning, with Idris Elba joining in a new role. The star-studded cast is also adding Storm Reid, Flula Borg, Nathan Fillion and Pete Davidson. James Gunn is attached to direct before he returns to Disney for Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Starring: Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Viola Davis, Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney
Opening on: August 6, 2021, with a simultaneous release on HBO Max

Dune

Warner Bros. Pictures

I am looking forward to seeing this. They are Re-adapting Frank Herbert’s sprawling sci-fi epic more than 30 years after David Lynch attempted the same and, according to many fans, fell short. At the very least, Villeneuve has assembled an impressive cast (just look at those names!) so it’s now up to him and his co-writers to fashion an engaging script from the daunting source material. Starring: Timothée Chalamet, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Javier Bardem, Jason Momoa, Dave Bautista, Zendaya
Opening on: October 1, 2021 (formerly December 18, 2020), with a simultaneous release on HBO Max.
