Streaming giant Netflix has officially announced its insane movie release lineup for 2021, which features an impressive roster of A-list actors including Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Gal Gadot, Leonardo DiCaprio, Amy Adams, Ryan Reynolds, and more.

Netflix made the announcement Tuesday via a sizzle reel featuring several of Hollywood's top-tier actors who will be featured in their upcoming films, with the promise that Netflix will release at least one new movie a week throughout 2021 for a total of at least 70. (And that's presumably not counting any upcoming acquisitions the streaming service might buy up.)

One of the films highlighted in the sizzle is Red Notice, which stars Johnson, Gadot, and Reynolds. This action film centers on "a global alert to hunt and capture the world’s most wanted. But when a daring heist brings together the FBI’s top profiler (Johnson) and two rival criminals (Gadot, Reynolds), there’s no telling what will happen," according to the film's official synopsis.

Other notable titles coming to Netflix in 2021 include the zombie apocalypse film Army of the Dead, directed by Justice League's Zack Snyder and starring Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, and Omari Hardwick.

There's also Don't Look Up, a new sci-fi film from Succession creator Adam McKay, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, and Jonah Hill. Per Netflix, Don't Look Up "tells the story of two low-level astronomers, who must go on a giant media tour to warn mankind of an approaching comet that will destroy planet earth."

Netflix will also release Bad Trip, a comedy starring Eric André, Lil Rel Howery, and Tiffany Haddish that was initially poised to open theatrically last year.

Other upcoming releases include Concrete Cowboy (starring Idris Elba), Halle Berry's directorial debut Bruised, the superhero comedy Thunder Force (starring Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer), and the action film Escape from Spiderhead, which stars Chris Hemsworth, Miles Teller, and Jurnee Smollett.
