Chris Hemsworth, Adam Sandler, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Evans, Dakota Johnson, Mark Wahlberg and loads more feature in some of the huge upcoming releases.
It has been all go over at Netflix these last few weeks.
Following the Q1 report in 2022 which revealed that the streaming service had lost over 200,000 subscribers in the first three months of the year, and revealed plans for a cheaper subscription package (but at a cost), the streaming giant has revealed its full movie line-up for the summer season.
Netflix is notoriously secretive about so many of its projects – at the time of writing, we still don’t know the full scheduled line-up for new shows in May – so in a lot of cases, all that has been revealed so far are the movie’s titles and their proposed release dates.
But we’ve done some digging and have added in the trailers, casts and official plot synopsis where we could find them.
