All the Movies We Can’t Wait to See in 2021

Cruella (May 28)

The famous Disney villain’s origin story is coming to life, with Emma Stone in the titular role. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2019, the actor said stepping into the part was “pretty trippy” and “wild.” We can’t wait to see. In theaters

In the Heights (June 18)

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit Broadway musical is coming to the big screen (and streaming) with a supremely talented cast led by Anthony Ramos. Jon M. Chu directs this story, which explores the tight-knit community in New York City’s Washington Heights neighborhood. In theaters and HBO Max

Top Gun: Maverick (July 2)

More than 30 years later, we’re finally getting a Top Gun sequel, with Tom Cruise reprising his role. Of course, it’s a grave injustice that Kelly McGillis wasn’t asked back. She deserves her own sequel, damn it! In theaters
