Upwards of 85 new films will launch (or have already arrived) on Netflix this year. A few movies made their grand debuts in January, and quite a few more are set to launch at the beginning of this month, but the streaming service is touting its 2022 slate with new movies every week and a robust lineup of actors and filmmakers.
Standout tiles include Shawn Levy’s time-traveling tale, “The Adam Project,” with a cast led by Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner and Zoe Saldaña, as well as a new adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Persuasion,” starring Dakota Johnson and Henry Golding. Regina King will embody trailblazing politician Shirley Chisholm in a biopic titled “Shirley.” Stop-motion and horror maestros Henry Selick and Jordan Peele are teaming up for the animated pic “Wendell & Wild.” “The Gray Man” stars both Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans in a CIA/spy/global manhunt film alongside Ana de Armas (speaking of whom, Armas’ long-awaited Marilyn Monroe film “Blonde” is also confirmed for a 2022 release).
Several titles are adapted from books of the same or similar names, such as “Against the Ice,” “Along for the Ride,” “Blonde,” “Brazen,” “Enola Holmes 2,” “The Good Nurse,” “The Gray Man,” “Ivy & Bean,” “Lady Chatterly’s Lover,” “Luckiest Girl Alive,” “Munich – The Edge of War,” “My Father’s Dragon,” “The Noel Diary,” “Operation Mincemeat,” “The Pale Blue Eye,” “Purple Hearts,” “Rescued by Ruby,” “The School for Good and Evil,” “Spaceman,” “We Have a Ghost,” “The Weekend Away,” “White Noise,” “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Black Crab,” “The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh Part 1,” “Through My Window.”
And those are just a few of Netflix’s many, many film offerings that have been announced for the year.
