Netflix to drop incredible 42 movies before end of 2021 – here’s the pick of the bunch

Netflix has revealed its line up of original films and documentaries coming to the streaming service before the end of the year, with a whopping 42 flicks slated for release.

The company’s stacked line-up will see around 10 new films drop every month between now and New Year’s Day. The star-stubbed release schedule will see movies staring Oscar winners Leonardo DiCaprio, Halle Berry, Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock, and Jennifer Lawrence.

Box-office champs Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Gal Gadot, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ryan Reynolds, Michael Keaton, Melissa McCarthy, and Idris Elba are also among the stars to appear in new Netflix films before 2021 is out.

The headline movie looks like it’ll be Adam McKay’s satirical Don’t Look Up, which boasts Messrs Leo, Meryl and J-Law alongside Timothee Chalamet and Jonah Hill. The movie, centred on astronauts attempting to convince people the world as about to be destroyed by a meteor. That’ll hit Netflix on Christmas Eve.

Elsewhere, The Rock, Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds will all appear in Red Notice, which drops on November 12. The Benedict Cumberbatch vehicle, The Power of The Dog – also starting Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons – could also be one for the watch list.
