15 Most Anticipated Sci-Fi Movies Coming In 2021
13. Infinite
Based on The Reincarnationist Papers by D. Eric Maikranz, Infinite directed by Antoine Fuqua and boasts an impressive cast which includes Mark Wahlberg, Dylan O'Brien, Sophie Cookson, Toby Jones, and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
That ensemble alone shouldn't be overlooked, and while plot details are few and far between, it's set to focus on Evan McCauley (played by Wahlberg), and according to the synopsis, he "discovers that his hallucinations are actually visions from past lives." Pushed to the brink by what's happening to him, he finds himself rescued by a group who call themselves "infinites" (hence the title).
Those same plot details reveal that they plan to "unlock the memories of his past lives in the hopes he can thwart an infinite who has a terrible plan for humanity."
It's a shame Avengers: Endgame star Chris Evans had to drop out, but with a release set for May 28th, 2021, it shouldn't be too long before more is revealed about what sci-fi fans can expect from this one. The premise feels familiar, but there's a chance this one could exceed expectations.
