After his acclaimed outing in Joker, Jared Leto is finally set to join the Marvel Universe.

A lot to marvel
Release: From January 2021
It may have culminated its Avengers franchise amid much fanfare with Endgame in 2019, but Marvel Entertainment will take over the OTT platform with a spate of spin-offs, beginning with the anticipated Elisabeth Olsen-starrer Wanda-Vision, and then the much-anticipated Loki series, headlined by Tom Hiddleston. Successive offerings of other superheroes will follow.
No Time to Die
Release date: April 2, 2021
Bond ko pakadna mushkil hi nahin, namumkin hai! Well, that’s what distributors, who have been constantly awaiting the film’s release to boost their business, are likely to have said. A spate of production delays significantly deferred its release, and compelled Daniel Craig to hold on to a character he seems to have grown weary of portraying. Nonetheless, the 25th edition is expected to culminate his extraordinary tenure with glory.
Top Gun: Maverick
Release date: July 2, 2021
Thirty-four years after Tom Cruise was in the cockpit, he takes the front seat again. This time, he will confront his past while training a new squad of graduates for a dangerous mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice.
Fast and Furious
Release date: May 28, 2021
The ninth instalment of the franchise will see Dominic and his family facing off with his brother, Jakob, a deadly assassin working for their old enemy. The film blows its own trumpet with a credit roll involving names such as Vin Diesel and John Cena.
The untitled Spider-Man film
Release Date: December 17, 2021

West Side Story
Release date: December 10, 2021
Another classic that will get a 2021 reboot is the iconic musical. Its first film-adaptation since 1961 is being helmed by none other than Steven Spielberg. The film follows a stage production of a 1950’s New York City version of Romeo and Juliet. Ansel Elgort plays Tony, while newcomer Rachel Zegler, a high-schooler, plays Maria.
Mission Impossible 7
Release date: November 19, 2021
Set to essay one among his most iconic characters in the spy film, Tom Cruise, as Ethan Hunt, is expected to perform some high-octane stunts in this edition, as he faces off against a notoriously dangerous character played by Hayley Atwell. Also, Mission: Impossible 8 is slated for November 2022.
The Matrix 4
Release date: December 22, 2021
If Tom Cruise is likely to have a great 2021, things are no different for Keanu Reeves. Set to return with The Matrix 4, the plot of which has been kept under wraps, the actor will also star in the John Wick film in 2022. The new edition of the American sci-fi also features Jonathan Groff and Jessica Henwick.
