Netflix has announced its movie release slate for the rest of the year, and it's a big one – more than 40 original movies are set to be added to the streamer before the end of 2021. From the hotly anticipated to the slightly bizarre (a musical about Princess Diana, anyone?), it's quite the star-studded line-up.
Some standouts include Don't Look Up, a dark comedy from director Adam McKay, about two astronomers (played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence) trying to warn the world about an asteroid on its way to destroy the Earth.
Then there's Red Notice, an action thriller starring Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot, and Ryan Reynolds, plus Army of the Dead prequel Army of Thieves. Meanwhile, The Harder They Fall is a revenge Western with an A-list cast including Jonathan Majors, Idris Elba, Zazie Beetz, Lakeith Stanfield, Delroy Lindo, and Regina King. We've outlined the full list, complete with release dates and casting information, below.
