Netflix premiere date: Friday, May 7

Having superpowers is a lot of pressure. Having superpowers and needing to step into the footsteps of your beloved, world-saving parents is unimaginable — it’s also the challenge in front of the young leads of Jupiter’s Legacy. Based on the graphic novels by Mark Millar and Frank Quitely, Jupiter’s Legacy introduces us to this universe’s first generation of superheroes and the children desperately trying to live up to their expectations.

Netflix premiere date: Friday, May 14

This Amy Adams thriller, adapted from A.J. Finn’s (real name Dan Mallory) novel of the same name has been a long time coming. Originally scheduled for release in 2019, it has floundered in limbo, only to arrive in a time where it gains a new layer of relevance. Adams plays Dr. Anna Fox, a woman struggling with agoraphobia confined to her home. As a distraction, she spies on her neighbors, living life vicariously through them. But that takes a dark turn when she witnesses a violent crime. Directed by Joe Wright, the movie also stars Julianne Moore. — A.C.

Netflix premiere date: Friday, May 21

For those who saw all four hours of the Justice League Snyder cut and said, “Yes, more please”, your wish has been granted! Who else could pull off a zombie heist movie about mercenaries who pull a job during the apocalypse? Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Ana de la Reguera, Omari Hardwick, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Tig Notaro all star. Think Ocean’s 11 meets Dawn of the Dead: less Brad Pitt snacking, and more, well, dead people. — A.C, Refinery29 noted.
