All the Movies We Can't Wait to See in 2021

Fingers crossed we'll be able to see some of these in theaters.

All the Movies We Can't Wait to See in 2021

The new movies in 2021 are just going to hit different. Sure, we may have to spend the first few months of the year watching them from home, but hopefully by summer theaters will be safe and we can enjoy films on 30-foot screens again. Oh, how I've missed loading up on overpriced snacks, settling into a leather recliner, and watching 25 minutes of trailers! I just want it back! 

TBA on when that will happen, but until then, let's get excited about all the releases coming…including many that were set for 2020 but got delayed. From No Time to Die to Black Widow to Marry Me starring Jennifer Lopez, we are in for an incredible slate. 

Below, all the new movies in 2021 to mark on your calendars.

One Night in Miami (January 15)

Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali), Jim Brown, Sam Cooke, and Malcom X meet on one historic night during the civil rights movement in this drama film, directed by Regina King (in her directorial debut). Available on Amazon Prime Video

The 355 (January 15)

Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong’o, Diane Kruger, Penélope Cruz, and Fan Bingbing are the all-female spy team of your dreams in this action blockbuster. In theaters 

Supernova (January 29)

Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci play a gay couple on the brink of a major life change as one of them develops dementia. I'm already crying. In theaters

Cinderella (February 5)

Camila Cabello is your new Cinderella in this fairytale reimagining, which includes Billy Porter as a genderless fairy godparent. In theaters

Malcolm & Marie (February 5)

I spy an Oscar nomination for Zendaya for her work in Malcolm & Marie, a film shot entirely in quarantine, about a director and his girlfriend who return from the premiere of his film anticipating the reviews from critics. Available on Netflix 

The United States vs. Billie Holiday (February 26)

Andra Day is Billie Holiday in this biopic, which specifically covers the period in the singer's career when she was targeted by the Federal Department of Narcotics in a sting operation. In theaters

No Time to Die (April 2)

A full year after its original release date, we're finally getting the latest James Bond epic, with Daniel Craig returning to the iconic role—and Billie Eilish manning the theme song. In theaters

A Quiet Place Part II (April 23)

A Quiet Place Part II is a movie that would probably be best experienced in a rapturous movie theater; here's hoping that happens. Something about experiencing such a silent movie in a packed crowd is thrilling. In theaters

Black Widow (May 7)

Natasha Romanoff (a.k.a Black Widow a.k.a Scarlett Johansson) is finally getting her own standalone movie—and co-starring Florence Pugh, so you know it's going to be iconic. Watch as Natasha journeys back to Russia—in the period between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War—and meets her father (played by David Harbour). In theaters

Marry Me (May 14)

Jennifer Lopez was spotted in October 2019 wearing a blinged-out wedding dress—but it wasn't because she was getting married to Alex Rodriguez. No, she was filming Marry Me, a new comedy in which she plays a pop star who marries a random fan at her concert (Owen Wilson) after finding out her partner (Maluma) had an affair. In theaters

Cruella (May 28)

The famous Disney villain's origin story is coming to life, with Emma Stone in the titular role. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2019, the actor said stepping into the part was “pretty trippy” and “wild.” We can't wait to see. In theaters

In the Heights (June 18)

Lin-Manuel Miranda's hit Broadway musical is coming to the big screen (and streaming) with a supremely talented cast led by Anthony Ramos. Jon M. Chu directs this story, which explores the tight-knit community in New York City's Washington Heights neighborhood. In theaters and HBO Max

Top Gun: Maverick (July 2)

More than 30 years later, we're finally getting a Top Gun sequel, with Tom Cruise reprising his role. Of course, it's a grave injustice that Kelly McGillis wasn't asked back. She deserves her own sequel, damn it! In theaters

The Suicide Squad (August 6)

Not to be confused with 2016's Suicide Squad, this new film further explores the diabolical adventures of Harley Quinn, Rick Flag, and your other favorite villains. In theaters and HBO Max

Candyman (August 27)

After some delays, this Nia DaCosta-directed horror film (a remake of the ‘92 classic) is finally getting a release. What happens when you say “Candyman” five times in the mirror? I’ll give you a hint: It's terrifying. In theaters

Dune (October 1)

Timothée Chalamet and Rebecca Ferguson lead this sci-fi epic directed by Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Arrival, and Sicario). In theaters and HBO Max 

Snake Eyes (October 22)

A G.I. Joe spinoff about Snake Eyes, one of the most important members of the team. Henry Golding steps into the titular role, which he talks about with Jimmy Fallon in the clip, below. In theaters
