The Future of Cinema – Every Major Release Coming in 2021 and Beyond…

The fate of cinema hangs in the balance. Many filmmakers like Wes Anderson, Christopher Nolan and Taika Waititi have openly spoken out about their worries for the future of film in relation to the cinema experience and the streaming experience. We live in difficult times and film has suffered alongside us, but there looks to be light on the horizon. We can do nothing but remain in a constant state of impatient excitement for the hundreds of films releasing over the next few years – we could have a few masterpieces on our hands – and the Marvel and Disney line up looks like a fun time too. So I thought I’d compile a list of all the big releases happening through the next decade along with their release dates. Here’s to the world getting better, and here’s to us finding a cinema seat beneath us again… in the near future.

All I can say is… be ready.
