Summer is slowly approaching, and with it the new movies of 2021. Which ones should you absolutely not miss?
We can't wait for summer - the sun, hanging out with family and friends (in a safe way, of course) and watching one of the many new movies coming out this summer. How many of these films and when we will be able to watch them in Slovenian cinemas is not yet known, but thank God for streaming services where it will be possible to watch most of them. For more information, follow the websites of Slovenian cinemas.
Mainstream (2021)

Link (Andrew Garfield) is the star of a popular streaming channel and has it all: money, fame, hot women...

This is a must watch movie if you are interested in what happens when fame takes over life.
Cruella
Expected release: May 28
Ever wonder how exactly Cruella de Vil became the villain we all want to be (at least as far as fashion is concerned)? Emma Stone explores the origins of the 101 Dalmatians character in her own unique way. Naughty? Yes. Causing trouble? Oh, yes. And hot fashions? Do not doubt!
A Quiet Place Part II (2021)
Expected release: May 28
We should have seen the horror movie last year, but unfortunately the pandemic interrupted all our plans. This year, though, you'll finally get to see what happened to the Abbott family after the events of the first film. We can not wait!

Top Gun 2 (Top Gun: Maverick, 2021)

Another movie you should have seen last year. In the highly anticipated sequel to the 1986 film, Tom Cruise will reprise his role as a top naval pilot, just as a new generation of aviators enters the scene. They must join forces and embark on a dangerous mission that could bring much more trouble than they first anticipated.
Black Widow (2021)
Expected release: July 9
After such a tough year, we all deserve to see some good action on our screens this summer.

Space Jam: New Legacy (2021)
Expected release: July 16
Just 25 years after the hit movie brought in millions at the box office, fans will have the chance to see a whole new cast of stars alongside their favorite Looney Tunes characters.

Jungle Cruise (2021)

The film follows a riverboat captain (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) who accompanies a scientist (Emily Blunt) on her way to the Tree of Life, which is said to have magical powers to heal anyone she touches. With the adventures they have in store, this is sure to be a fun movie.
The Green Knight (2021)
Expected release: July 30
There seems to be no shortage of ways to tell the legend of King Arthur, and a film that attempts to show how knights become men of honor is no different. Sir Gawain (Dev Patel) sets out in search of the Green Knight, a strange villain terrorizing the people of Camelot. The film also features an excellent cast (Alicia Vikander and Joel Edgerton).
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Expected release: August 6
The long-awaited film is finally coming to cinemas (or other screens) around the world. Made as a stand-alone sequel to 2016's The Unwritten Squad, it follows some of the most famous characters from the DC Universe. They are on a mission to destroy a Nazi prison known to be conducting harmful experiments. And if you're wondering who's going to show up, don't worry: Margot Robbie, Elba and John Cena will be there.
Respect (2021)
Expected release: August 13
We all need a little Aretha Franklin here and there. Oscar winner and Grammy winner (don't forget she's also an American idol!) Jennifer Hudson portrays the iconic singer in her chart-topping days. This movie will captivate you with love, historical events and music, and you will only love Aretha even more.
Candyman (2021)
Expected release: August 27
Some viewers may remember the 1992 version, but this remake of the horror classic (starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) is a spin-off for modern audiences. It tells the story of a visual artist who accidentally resurrects a supernatural killer just three decades after he wreaked havoc in Chicago.
