We didn’t get much of a summer movie season last year, but this year is making a heroic return because there’s plenty to look forward to in the coming months of 2021. From Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films to horror flicks, here are 7 Summer 2021 Movie Releases To Watch Out For.
1. Cruella (started premiering)
This live-action film brings us the origin story of antagonist Cruella de Vil from the 1996 movie, 101 Dalmatians. Emma Stone stars as the iconic Disney villain, a young fashion designer who eventually develops an unhealthy obsession with Dalmatian furs. Emma Thompson, from The Devil Wears Prada, co-stars as her boss.
Cruella is already out in theatres across Singapore. Alternatively, if you’re a Disney+ subscriber with Premier Access, you can also choose to watch it in the comforts of your own home.

3. Fast and Furious 9 (24th June)
Fast and Furious 9 was a little slow in coming out, thanks to the pandemic. But now it’s finally here, and it promises a hundred and forty-five minutes pumped full of fast cars, cool stunts and satisfying camaraderie. And while the de-facto leader of the group, Dom, is all about family, things take an interesting turn here because his family now becomes the problem. John Cena will make his debut in the film as Dom’s evil never-mentioned-before brother, and… well, you’ll have to watch the film to find out.
