Netflix has announced its full slate of new original movies to be released in 2021.

New releases from actors including Leonardo Di Caprio, Gal Gadot, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Amy Adams, Ryan Reynolds, Halle Berry and Chris Hemsworth feature in the line-up, which also includes new films from acclaimed directors Jane Campion (The Power of the Dog), Paolo Sorrentino (The Hand of God) and Adam McKay (Don’t Look Up).

At least one new film will be arriving every week throughout the year on the streaming service. A video posted today (12 January) offered a preview of some of the forthcoming titles.

Don’t Look Up stars DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence as two low-level astronomers who undertake a giant media tour warning mankind of a deadly Earth-destroying comet. Timothee Chalamet, Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill and Cate Blanchett also appear in the film, which is directed by McKay (Vice).
