15 most exciting Netflix movies for 2021 - Tom's Guide

No theater? No problem. Even if we won’t be able to make it to a multiplex for the foreseeable future, Netflix is releasing more than 70 movies in 2021 to keep us entertained at home. 

Netflix’s 2021 movie lineup is star-studded, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot, Chris Hemsworth and Ryan Reynolds and runs the gamut from action flicks to buddy comedies to romantic dramas. 

Halle Berry and Lin-Manuel Miranda make their directorial debuts, while Zack Snyder took a break from his Justice League cut to make a zombie heist thriller.

We’re highlighting 15 of the original films we’re most excited about, including an all-Black Western revenge drama and a trilogy based on the beloved YA horror books by R.L. Stine.

The Dig (January 29)

Carey Mulligan and Ralph Fiennes star in this drama depicting the real-life excavation of the Sutton Hoo site in Suffolk, England. On the precipice of World War II, a wealthy widow hires  an amateur archaeologist to investigate the burial mounds on her estate, leading to an historic discovery.

Malcolm and Marie (February 5)

Emmy winner Zendaya teams up again with Euphoria creator Sam Levinson for this romantic drama, in which she and her filmmaker boyfriend (John David Washington) return home from his movie premiere and engage in an intense argument. Levinson has said Netflix bills Malcom and Marie as an “ode to the great Hollywood romances,” though the 12-year age difference between the leads has proven controversial.

To All the Boys: Always and Forever (February 12)

Will Lara Jean Covey get her happily ever after with Peter Kavinsky? The final film in the teen rom-com trilogy brings back Lana Condor and the internet’s boyfriend Noah Centineo as now-high school seniors on the brink of adulthood. In To All the Boys: Always and Forever, their relationship is tested once again as they contemplate attending different colleges.
