Though the global pandemic has left countries, companies and people in financial ruin, the streaming networks have made out like bandits. With many around the world forced to stay indoors due to the deadly virus on their doorstep, Netflix’s original movies have been snowballing in popularity. Armed with a glut of cash and with COVID not going away anytime soon they have a whole bunch of cool stuff coming this year. To get the hype train rolling they’ve released a very cool trailer introduced by Red Notice stars Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds.
The video is peppered with appearances by other A-listers, including Amy Adams, Lin-Manual Miranda, Melissa McCarthy, Dave Bautista, Halle Berry and Chris Hemsworth. They’re teasing upcoming movies like Thunder Force, Bruised, Tick, Tick… Boom, The Woman in the Window, Escape from Spiderhead and Army of the Dead.
Very excited to be a part of this incredible #RedNotice team.

With theaters still not fully open (and judging by the skyrocketing domestic infection and death rates, not likely to for some time) Netflix are set to fill the gap with some truly epic movies. I’m particularly excited for Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead, particularly if he can recreate the brutal magic he brought to Dawn of the Dead way back in 2004.
But the trailer is also notable for Reynolds potentially starting up a new celebrity feud. In the introduction Johnson refers to himself as “Uncle Handsome” and to be fair he does look damn good in that leather jacket/turtleneck combo. Reynolds is almost forgotten in his majestic wake and has shot back on Twitter by saying he loves movies, “especially those rated T for turtleneck”.
Ryan Reynolds is no stranger to beefing with his co-stars, but what might fly with Hugh Jackman could be a different kettle of fish with man-mountain Dwayne Johnson, so I’d watch out. We’ll get to see the pair throw down on film fairly soon too, as Red Notice has completed filming and is scheduled for a 2021 release. More on this and other new Netflix Originals as we hear them.
