In 2020, film production companies tried all kinds new strategies to cope with COVID-19, including parallel releases on streaming platforms to try to avoid further delays and losses. The commercial result has been discouraging, showing that these were only temporary measures and that nothing to date surpasses revenue of a commercial release in movie theaters.

All of this has resulted in a 2021 that is chock full of more movies than ever.

And among those releases are Latinx actors and actresses, as well as all sorts of artists that expand the diversity of the expansion of Hollywood and American cinema.

Edgar Ramirez, JLO or Pedro Pascal are just some of the most important names in a year expected to be full of Latin talent, which also encourages production companies from different countries.

Here are five of the most anticipated films where Latinx actors play major roles.
