Top 20 Most Anticipated Films To Look Forward To In 2021 (2 of 4)

The French Dispatch

There are many Oscar contenders this year, but one that’s on top of critics’ short list of considerations is this flick. It was one of the films expected to be out in 2020, but has since been pushed to being released this year. Nevertheless, this Wes Anderson directed movie is described as “a love letter to journalists set at an outpost of an American Newspaper in 20th-century Paris and centers on three storylines.”

As you’d expect in an Anderson directed film, you’ve got an all-star ensemble lineup with Benicio del Toro, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Léa Seydoux, Frances McDormand, Timothée Chalamet, Lyna Khoudri, Jeffrey Wright, Mathieu Amalric, Steve Park, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, and many of the director’s many other regular favorites.

Expect to see this roll out in May this year.

Black Widow

Though the Avengers lost Black Widow in Avengers: Endgame, that wasn’t the last time Scarlett Johansson would be playing as Natasha Romanoff. In her first stand-alone film, we are going back in time to see what her life was like back at home. In the timeline, this film takes part after the events of Captain America: Civil War where Romanoff has to deal with the familial fallout that she left behind. It’s at this time where Florence Pugh and David Harbour make their debuts in the Marvel universe. This film will be coming out early May this year.

Fast & Furious 9

The Fast and the Furious franchise has gone from a series of street racers and has morphed into a group of near-superheroes that are saving the world. With nine films now under its belt, this installment is about Dominic and his family facing off with Dominic’s brother, Jakob, a deadly assassin who’s working with an old enemy. On top of that, we saw Han make a reappearance in the trailer which is BIG for long-time fans of this series. This will be released in late May this year.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

In the third chapter of the Conjuring franchise, both Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga will be reprising their roles as Ed and Lorraine Warren. As the film follows two real life paranormal investigators, this movie takes a turn when a murder suspect claims that he was possessed by a demon, which caused him to commit his crimes. This film is expected to be out in early June this year.

Top Gun: Maverick

It’s been 34 years since Tom Cruise has been in a cockpit, but don’t think his rustiness will be slowing him down. Maverick is just as confident as ever, testing the limits of both physics and authority. However, there will be two major developments that’ll shake things up; a dangerous Top Gun mission, and the arrival of his late best friend Goose’s son. This film will be coming out in early July 2021.
