Netflix confirmed 27 movies are releasing in 2021, and here's every one of them. Hosted by three Red Notice stars - Ryan Reynolds, Gad Gadot, and Dwayne Johnson - Netflix's 2021 Film Preview video packs in a lot of information for curious streamers, which may feel both exciting and slightly overwhelming.

Netflix's preview video doesn't include all of their upcoming 2021 movies, but rather a select group of films across various genres - including their biggest releases. The sneak peek reveals that new movies will be released once per week throughout the year, which means that just over half are included in the clip. Several celebrities make brief appearances to hype up their upcoming projects, and Red Notice unsurprisingly receives the most attention during the the Netflix 2021 Film Preview.

With the streaming wars being more intense than ever, Netflix wisely enlisted some big names for their 2021 Film Preview. But while the star power and assortment of clips are indeed impressive, there's little information provided about details that audiences may be curious about.

Directed by Mikael Håfström, Outside the Wire follows a drone pilot named Harp (Damson Idris; Snowfall) who works in a militarized zone for android officer Leo (Anthony Mackie; the MCU's Falcon). Together, they seek out a device that could end the world. Outside the Wire co-stars Pilou Asbæk (Game of Thrones) and Emily Beecham (Hail, Caesar!). Netflix's 2021 trailer features an aerial shot, along with Mackie's character doing a somersault and pointing his weapon. Outside the Wire released on January 15, 2021.

As the latest feature from acclaimed filmmaker Ramin Bahrani (Chop Shop), The White Tiger follows a poor man named Balram Halwai (Adarsh Gourav; Leila) who becomes a wealthy entrepreneur in India. The crime drama (release date TBA) co-stars Priyanka Chopra (Quantico) and Rajkummar Rao (Shahid), and is based on Aravind Adiga's eponymous 2008 novel. The Netflix trailer features a close-up of Gourav, along with Chopra and Rao's characters embracing. The White Tiger releases on January 22, 2021.

Janel Parrish and Madeleine Arthur reprise their roles in the latest adaptation of Jenny Han's novel series. The first image in the Netflix teaser (above) shows Lara Jean with a content grin, while the second reveals that she's reacting to Peter - perhaps a "grand gesture" that's typical of rom-com films. To All The Boys: Always and Forever is scheduled to release on February 12.

Based on the eponymous 2009 book by author Amy Krouse Rosenthal and illustrator Tom Lichtenheld, Yes Day follows a couple who allows their children to set the family rules for 24 hours.

Army of the Dead will release in summer 2021.

The Netflix teaser includes a brief landscape shot and a character close-up (above). Back to the Outback co-stars Rachel House (Thor: Ragnorok) and Eric Bana (Star Trek).

Summary: The annual Alpha’s Ball, where people go to find a mate, is being hosted by Tony Stark at his mansion in New York. It is a masquerade ball, and the Avengers are among the guests. But even when searching for love, things don’t always go as planned for the Avengers. For Steve, it means a chance to forget his one time love, killed during the war. For Bucky, it means a night out, trying to pick up the pieces after having fled his former lover. What it means for the pair of them is a revelation of secrets and twisted plots - - and a chance at a possible new beginning … together.

Steve Rogers is getting by just fine spending every Friday night by himself, thank you very much, until his classmate Peggy invites him to come see her favorite local band. One look at the lead singer Bucky, and it’s lust at first sight. The next thing he knows, Steve is outside making out with the guy of his dreams, but it’s never that simple - Bucky’s bandmate Natasha finds them outside and all but drags Bucky back inside by his ear.

Steve’s not sure where to go from here, but he’s pretty sure, somehow or another, he’s gonna have to see Bucky again.

Relationships: James “Bucky” Barnes/Steve Rogers, Peggy Carter/Angie Martinelli, Sharon Carter/Steve Rogers (past)

Summary:

Steve Rogers is an excellent judge of character. No, really! But, as Peggy puts it: when it comes to love his head tends to override his heart. When his girlfriend leaves him for a model Steve wonders if he’ll ever find the right partner; maybe it’s time to stop looking.Naturally, this is when he (quite literally) runs into Jim Buchanan, a fashion exec who (also literally) makes Steve weak-in-the-knees. Sure, that might just be the concussion but they do seem to have some sort of chemistry. Jim’s sweet and funny, walks his neighbor’s rescue dog and can do over 300 chin-ups without pausing to catch his breath (Steve’s new apartment has a great view), so clearly there must be something horrible he’s trying to keep secret.(A Head Over Heels adaptation)

When Loki is bored, suddenly, nothing is easy.

Framed for stealing the Reality Stone from his best friend (and former lover!) Steve, Bucky finds himself accused of the crime and sentenced to death. When the Council doesn’t believe that Bucky is innocent, Steve swears to be executed in Bucky’s place, giving him time to seek out Loki and recover the stone from Loki’s realm of Jotunheim

Accompanied by a ship full of stalwart adventurers, and Steve’s fiance, Tony Stark – who doesn’t trust Bucky as far as he can throw him! – the ship, Hydra, faces sirens, snowbirds, and living islands to make it to Loki’s realm, recover the stone and save Steve’s life. The biggest problem? Bucky can’t forget his old lover, but at the same time, finds himself falling in love with Steve’s boyfriend.

for the ashes of his fathers (and the kingdoms of his gods) - ‘Oblivion’ stucky AU by LadyNimrodel

Steve and Natasha are an effective team. They work for Shield’s Control Station, built after the planet was destroyed in the war with the Scavs. They are left on a broken and barren planet to keep the drones running that protect the hydra rigs, which collect precious water for what’s left of humanity, now living in a colony on one of Saturn’s moons.

What Steve knows is this: the Scav attacks are getting worse, even though they lost the war nearly fifty years ago. In two weeks he and Natasha are leaving to join the rest of humanity. And that neither of them want to leave earth.

What he doesn’t know is why the Scavs are attacking again, why everything Control tells them feels wrong, and why he keeps dreaming of a man with grey-blue eyes and a familiar smile and who Steve doesn’t remember.

Summary: Humanity’s dwindling numbers hang by a thread and the last of the Traveler’s strange, powerful Light grows dimmer by the day. With their fearsome, unknown enemy closing in, it falls on the Guardians to defend the last of Earth’s people. Steve, only recently reborn and still learning the limits of his inhuman abilities, is thrown headfirst into an unceasing battle for life itself. Falling in love with a mysterious, reticent Hunter isn’t really part of the plan, but Steve’s always been flexible. Now if he could just convince the object of his affections to admit he’s in love, too, these long days of war might even be worth the trouble.

“You’re a madman,” Bucky informs him fondly. Steve steps forward, using both hands to grab the edges of Bucky’s hood and pulling until the material lies neat and even.

“Probably,” he agrees amiably, and hops backwards off the cliff.

Summary: Why have one five foot one-ish obstinate blond with no sense of self-preservation issues and a propensity for getting into trouble when you can have two for twice the price? Only by working together do they stand a chance of getting their best friends to fall in love with them. Throw in experimental robotic arms, ghost hunting and internationally renowned televised baking competition and a cunning plan, what could possibly go wrong?

(aka the one where Steve is an art professor in love with his best friend, the former Special Forces sniper Bucky Barnes, who lost and arm in combat and tests experimental prostheses for Jillian Holtzmann, who is in love with her best friend Erin Gilbert, paranormal expert and Steve’s colleague. While Erin and Bucky vie for Star Baker in the Great British Bake Off, Holtzmann and Rogers devise a plan to win their hearts.)

Summary:

“I can look after myself.” Steve bristled. “And how about you? You go around taking on three fighters from the Hip Sing Tong on a regular basis?”

“Sure,” the guy said, and then he gave Steve a big grin. “I don’t like bullies either.”

“Jeez, we’re two of a kind, ain’t we?” Steve laughed and stuck out his hand. “Steve Rogers.”

The guy took his hand in a firm grip.

“Bucky Dyun.”

“Bucky?”

“Yeah, unless you want to call me Pok Chi like my ma does.”

“Bucky it is.”

Steve Rogers doesn’t know much about Chinese culture when he makes a wrong turn in Chinatown. But a chance meeting gives him not only a new friend, but an entry into a whole new world. The more he learns from Bucky, the closer they get, until Bucky is so much more than a friend. But when a Chinese gang goes after Bucky and his family, Steve knows he needs to stand up and make sure the man he loves doesn’t lose everything.

Summary: There is an old Chinese myth about a red string of Fate, that is intertwined around two souls by the gods. The cord may stretch, or tangle, but never break. Two boys fall in love in Brooklyn, slowly and full of promise. As they fall, their string unwinds to catch them. Seventy five years later, that string finds its way back home. After the Winter Soldier pulls Steve Rogers out of the Potomac, he isn’t quite sure where to begin putting the pieces back together. Steve Rogers is spending his time pulling on threads, while trying to follow his own. Their strings will pull them through memories and doubt, until they wind up on a pier, wound together again.

Seventy five years in fits and starts.

Bucky stood in a line with a bunch of other men at parade rest. All the men were probably as scared as Bucky, and, like Bucky, none of them willing to show it.

His papers had come in the mail. It wasn't like he hadn't been expecting them. His father had looked grim. His mother had not been able to stop crying. She had always been religious, but she started attending mass two times a day and three times on Sundays. She tried to make Bucky come too, but he didn’t really see much point to it. He’d never been very religious.

Summary: When the Statue of Liberty slides into view, the whole ship roars. It’s deafening. Bucky throws his fist in the air and yells along with everyone else. His heart is in his throat. The Statue of goddamn Liberty. Bucky wants to climb up her robe and kiss her sour green face.

The cheers rise up again as they go by her, and then die back down; most of the guys are just happy to sit and smile and watch the city float lazily into focus. They know they’ve got days more of barracks and bunks and cheap train seats before they’ll get to see their families in Pittsburgh, or Columbus, or Chicago. But Bucky’s home, he can see Brooklyn, and he laughs and shades his eyes from the sun and feels crazy with happiness, and this has to be the slowest fucking boat in the world, but at least he has a good view while he dies of impatience.

In 1945, Bucky comes home from the war.

Summary: A man exits the building. Approximately 5’6”, thin, tired-looking. A suitable target. He needs someone he can overpower quickly and quietly. He’s injured from the fight on the helicarriers, and weak from hunger, and blood-loss.

A streetlight illuminates the target’s face as he passes under it. That one brief glimpse of a narrow face and glowing blond hair sets his heart rate climbing. Something presses at the edges of his mind, like the wingbeats of night moths against a pane of glass. He ignores it, like he ignores the phantom voice that comes when he’s too long out of cryo. He walks towards the target, knife in hand.

What if… What if Captain America died on the Valkyrie. What if he was reborn. What if the Winter Soldier met him after the fall of the helicarriers.

Except the Winter Soldier has no defenses against magic, no contingencies planned for when Bucky is ripped out from his protective cocoon and exposed to the world in a body of his own. It’s a mission adjustment that neither of them were prepared for. At least now they have back up, if they’re willing to accept it.

For as long as Steve could remember, all he ever wanted to do was what was right. So when he hears about his father’s old regiment being held as POW’s by the Nazis, he’s determined to put what Doctor Erskine gave him to good use and goes AWOL to rescue them.

But the 107th isn’t all he finds there. Deep in the labs is a very unusual prisoner; one with snakes in his hair and a mask nailed to his face. Despite the man’s monstrous visage, Steve can’t in good conscience leave him to the enemy. That one act of mercy will change his life, the course of the war, and even the future of the world.

Summary: Simply put, Bucky was different now. It had taken a heaping dose of pain for Steve to get that fact through his thick skull, but they were finally on the same page…sort of. Unfortunately, ‘sort of’ wasn’t making things easier. Like an idiot, Steve had expected instantaneous rainbows and sunshine to bathe them in happiness, but all he saw was a giant wall of stubborn and bacon flying at his head.

Bucky and Clint covering their mouths so Steve couldn’t hear them whispering? It hurt. Bucky and Tony laughing at unfunny jokes about torture? It hurt. Bucky and Nat exchanging secret spy glances? It hurt like hell. But Sam declaring himself ‘Team Bucky’? That downright sucked. Once, Bucky had given those pieces of himself to Steve…and only Steve. That was the problem: Steve wasn’t the boy Bucky fell in love with, he wasn’t Captain America, and he wasn’t even doing a good job at being Steve Rogers. Their foundation lost, the question had become, ‘Now what?’

They sucked at it, but they were trying. The fighting, laughing, panicking, hugging, sarcasm, make-up sex, and yes, flying bacon proved that. Not so simply put: Relationships are never a straight line; especially when you both get frozen and end up in the wrong century.

Summary:

It went like this.

James Buchanan Barnes aka Bucky aka the Winter Solider knocked on Steven Grant Rogers aka Steve aka Captain America’s door at precisely 5:47 am on Tuesday morning. And Steve who, despite all his training, was known to catch a case of “overtrusting idiot” every now and again, shuffled sleepily to the door and swung it open, yawning out a “can I help you?” without even fully opening his eyes.

He blinked when he noticed Bucky standing there, long hair hanging limply under a hat pulled down low, metal hand hidden surreptitiously in his left pocket, giving him a shy sort of smile. Steve had to grip the doorframe to keep from falling to his knees.

Bucky, who was much more composed, simply said, “Hey, Steve.”

Yet, unwittingly, there are several things he rediscovers: communism, sex, and then, unbowed, unbroken and very much unhinged, the only equal to his insanity: Bucky Barnes.

Ruins

The naked page holds, even though my body & mind have long ago deteriorated. Earth bubbling with remorse of new life. The last time I’d project my human sympathies onto her otherworldly demon realm.

Incinerated at the end of a poem. Chains come off without deliberation. Whatever thought had come before, among strings of thoughts ranging through dead space. A molecular courier that is little more than a ghost once relieved from the burden of carrying itself around . . .

I did not carry myself far, or for long. Mostly I sat, staring ahead. The world went about its business, destroying & maiming itself. I knew the outcome in my exposed nerves, even as I remained in this room alone.

Nature has endeared me with her rules regarding deviating sands.

This was a desert once & it would be again. The moment she hardens & protocols of chaos are fixed. Secretly, plates move under us, but we are jostled just the same, dragged away from what is known . . .

Now I know next to nothing & this is like starting over. Of all visions I’ve had, waking or not, this is the one that sticks. The elemental form I’ve seen all my life; coming out of a fog of dull temptations, into the even more desolate channels of Alchibany.

- - -

In a series of poems unwrit there is the story of a demon. Obscured by the northern sun with the gleaming hope it’ll be seen – Asleep in Egyn’s chamber, under Saturn’s sign. Worlds behind its dozing eyes; riddles, hypotheses, domains.

It was ridiculous to consider I’d gain access, but that’s exactly how it is. In all the days of toiling over the naked page; scratching in dark only to prolong my grievous intent . . .

The demon gives me strength, but not without a price. The first time he came into my purview, on the suicidal edge of vacant remission. Stripped clean of earthly contrivances, I became afraid to look Outside.

All I wanted was a quiet exit. My corpse in some wilderness discovered years from now. I’ll have dug my own grave in hopes the rains would fill it in.

Staring at the naked page . . . I want it so much. I want this all go to away.

Cutting myself open to see how it feels. When I am a young man I do this this all the time. I’ll bleed for my words, realizing very quickly this is a damn cliche!

For years hating that fact I need to create. A lowly creature I’ve become, nature’s artifice, soaking blood into an ornamental carpet of poor man’s decadence – Other worlds did not accept me like I accepted them. Nor did I accept the world I was currently living in.

- - -

Isolating contusion. I’d become internally ruptured. Hemorrhaging spirit, relegated to the stasis of self-martyrdom. Another damn cliche! To escape the masterminding sickness, that which holds ALL races behind. The idea our birth means anything where the status of nature is concerned.

In moments of chaos, feeling violent or afraid, I am able to see more clearly that which comprises space. Aetheric density of survivor planets tumbling through still waters of an ever expanding horizon. Beyond the debris of those aborted vessels that sank to the bottom of the sea. Effulgence of stars leading their way, past the shipyard where malformed constellations speak of a different path.

- - -

It is how demons are born. Rekindling a memory that has been reduced out of all nostalgia or emotion – Trading one vessel for another is never enough. Prolonged anguish reincarnates into another destroyed world.

I tear up the naked page. What I never started. A void in the universe that invited him in. For decades sitting here indifferent to music transmitting out of colder regions. Sea becomes an ocean pregnant with trenches. Down there, where Saturn’s restive memory becomes my own.

It is too much to handle at first. I give up poetry for murder. In between murders I gaze at the sky & hum its tune. Wandering hills behind my apartment where the room I occupied sits empty & quiet.

Tormented by restlessness. I cannot go home, anyway, because they will arrest me & I will sink into another depression. Surely I would kill myself in prison, where no star is seen or music heard. All sacrifices I’ve committed to restore its trust in a single man would become effaced.

- - -

Back to the ages, contemplation & sleep. Allowing me to enter his realm, the demon is roused to multiply. Once soft, then coarse; lulling, discordant. He beats me down & brings me back . . .

World is bright when I open my eyes. Sky is close enough to touch. Rising, I shake pine needles from my clothes. Mud clinging to my shoes . . .

Leaving wilderness behind. For years I searched. Nature’s fornicator, digging my hands in the guts of strangers, scrying for new visions. Sometimes the results were messy & left me mentally challenged.

In times like this I missed the naked page & the idea I was a poet.

Nothing could be further from the truth, though. Any romantic ideal I may have had in my youth was completely shattered – Revealing the astral seed, or that which had arrived before my brutally mortal birth:

Bathing in my mother’s blood, frightened to come out. I could still see borderlands coalescing in my vision. Still, I’d soon forget those crystallizing forms, in the murky shallows of my consciousness, abandoning me to this foreign outpost.

- - -

The poet in me would like to die now. He’s faked it long enough. The murderer, too, who is no longer able to live in solitude. Perhaps I should have killed myself when I was first edged out of sleep. Now I feel like I could sleep for fucking ever.

A tad dramatic, though. A bit of the young poet coming back. Instead, I’m an old man in hiding. Demon sleeps while I am it’s dreaming vessel. Nature conceals me when she can, but even that is costly . . .

The age I walk in is corruptive & self-effacing. Any martyr-hood it turned its back on is merely performance art. Dirty poets, all, feigning religiosity! Only a few stood out on the burning plane. Succumbing to pestilence of the brain, they did not make it very long.

Riddled maps, tested against floods & fates; repeated verses, chants to a silent, endless cosmos. Though the vessel itself is holder of the key, it must be violently extracted & retooled.

Demon sowers, harvesting oceans, acclimating to pressures of the deeps . . .

The best thing to do now is look away. Even though I have tested the fates in my own way. To know that it was there all along, buried under my tattered skin.

If only I had detected it earlier. Gross malediction of an untended garden. Vines, wasted away, drag it down; rotted bells, dangling from their broken necks. My body, abused by addiction & idleness; existence, a work in progress, breaks down.

I am lost. Aborted out of the naked page, where lurkers have set my testimonies on fire. Pain resolved in nothingness, all communication shuts down. Now, I am an even older man, who does not know the way. Never the murderer they took me for, but a far weaker specimen . . .

I did not love the vessels around me the way they loved me. Traits, although distinctly human, bore the mark of a demon’s lash.

I’ve learned to hold my tongue when I look at them, but I still feel the elongated touch that gradually drew me away. Salvaging my ruminations for the naked page, I become inspired by cold distances.

He is in me, still, abstracted out of the red night. I roam the streets, alone. Silent killer in me, yet to act, accorded to another paradigm. Horizons I sought, bleeding over from tumorous oceans: out the dark glint of Saturn’s blade . . .

The words are rolling, now, & don’t seem so made up. When it flows there is no stopping it. No longer masking my presence in the world so I could recede with nature’s ghost. Guts alive with burning gall, my deadened form revives.

Necromancy forms another world. Mother bows to astral dominance. Seering ruptures across cloven divides – Too much to hold in. I need to let it go.

A hallowed mess. Edges snap, relieves the dam. Pregnant no more, swaddling my creation in my emptied guts. Gazing up at me with his eyes, I am reduced to nothing & am forced to snap its neck.

Sirens in the distance – Music of the stars. Eclipsing any mounting reverence for what came before.

How I ever ended up here I will never know. Discharge of a transferrant star, aborted ideal of wandering tempests. Even as my breathing slows & air becomes latticed with the filigree of shadows . . .

They are coming for my corpse. Can I talk about this now? Is it too dramatic to mention death when it’s actually happening – The naked page is not so naked anymore, blindly staring from its shallow grave.

I might of lived like them, without recall or solvency. I might of loved those who loved me, unrestrained by cosmic forbearance. Dissipating from the moment I open my eyes, haze of firelight in reservoirs of numbing cold.

He is there, behind the curtain, where they come to gather my clay. Naked as the day I came into this world, I go there now. Following strains of a song I heard before, when the sky did not brood so much. Where I left my bones in a deserted field, under the sagging tree of my heart, a seed gently rotting.

Fumbling with my leaking parts as leaves of my final work soak up what’s left . . .

I’ll be dramatic if I want to! I don’t care anymore! To fill the shoes of poets who lost their minds, but only at the end. I am ready to write the great work, now! I am ready to wail into the void until my lungs collapse!

But it does not matter now & I don’t believe it ever did. We are all revenant strangers, brokenly adhering to the shore. Trembling hands about its dim candlelight in the shadow of a storm. Writ in a hurried manner, histories pile up in the moment, but are never the episodes we imagine them to be.

Reality adorns its fools with temporary sanity. A fated concordance that only suffices to remedy the artifice: crystal clear evidence at the end of my struggle. When the womb shattered, delivering me from my own fates. All the time put in staring at the naked page. Telling his story in living verse, permeates my dying breath.
