It’s a new year and that means new movie releases. 2020 was tumultuous, with movie slates shifting dramatically. Quite a few big tentpoles slated to hit theaters last year were bumped to this year, while other movies always scheduled to hit theaters in 2021 also juggled around. The calendar below will likely continue to shift, at least for the first few months, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of upcoming films to get excited about.
Here’s every movie we know is coming to theaters in 2021 as of right now. We’ve also added 2022’s big movie releases, and previously released 2021 movies can be found at the bottom.
