With theaters reopening this late in the year, we can still catch some of the year’s most anticipated flicks, such as Wonder Woman 1984 and News of the World, in CinemaSafe theaters across America.
Despite the pandemic, producers and the National Association of Theater Owners (NATO) decided to bring the movies back to life. Having devised a system that made theaters as safe as possible from COVID-19, movie outfits started to roll out movies. With the help of a digital marketing agency and NATO, a movie production outfit can now restart its operations, slowly easing into what was once normal. And movie buffs are never happier.
We have listed some of the movies that geeks are excited to see in theaters in the winter and spring of 2021
1. Ghostbusters Afterlife
Release Date: March 5, 2021 (Originally July 10, 2020)

Fans of the Ghostbusters franchise were extremely excited upon hearing of a Ghostbusters reboot, even if the all-female movie was a very decent remake of the movie. While details of the movie are still undisclosed, it is definitely on the list of fanboys everywhere.
2. Masters of the Universe
Release Date: March 5, 2021
Cast: TBD
For over thirty years, fans of He-Man have been clamoring for a live big-screen adaptation of the beloved Prince of Eternia. With the She-Ra reboot doing really well on Netflix. MOTU fans are optimistic that the same thing can be one for He-Man and his allies.

4. Morbius
Release Date: March 19, 2021
Cast: Jared Leto, Jared Harris, Adria Arjona, Tyrese Gibson, Matt Smith
Coming out with a solo movie for a Spider-Man villain is already a risky move as it is for Marvel Studios, but having Jared Leto, who caught a lot of flack for his Joker portrayal in Suicide Squad, playing the titular character has upped the ante. But knowing Marvel Studios, we can bet that they know what they’re doing. We’ll have to wait and see.
5. Tomb Raider 2
Release Date: March 19, 2021
Cast: Alicia Vickander
After the lukewarm reception to 2018’s Tomb Raider, Oscar-winner Alicia Vickander is back in a sequel hoping to redeem the franchise. No other details were provided at the time, but as fans of Lara Croft, we’re hoping she kicks butt at the box office this time.
6. F9

We can’t get enough of the adrenaline-filled movie franchise. Dominic Toretto is back behind the wheel against a new villain in the ninth installment of the highly-successful series.
7. No Time to Die

The highly-anticipated Bond movie is Daniel Craig’s fifth and final appearance as the suave and sophisticated secret agent. Alongside Craig are series regulars Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Rory Kinnear, and Ben Whishaw reprising their roles with Rami Malek reportedly as the newest 007 villain.
8. Black Widow
Release Date: May 7, 2021 (Originally November 6, 2020)

It’s been a long time coming, but finally, Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a Black Widow, will have her own solo movie. The movie will be a prequel of some sort since we already witnessed Agent Romanoff’s demise in Avengers Endgame. Nevertheless, the movie is one of 2020’s most anticipated MCU movies. The changes in release dates have only built up eager anticipation from MCU and Avengers fans.
These are just some of the winter-spring releases for 2021. There are a lot more in store for us throughout the entire year.
