50 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2021

27. In The Heights

In The Heights Movie
Warner Bros.

Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony Award-winning musical gets adapted to the big screen by Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians), focused on an ensemble cast of characters in the largely Latino neighborhood of New York City's Washington Heights.

The enormous acclaim for Miranda's source musical immediately makes this one of the year's most anticipated films, and one which should deliver the peppy, raucous thrills audiences will be clamouring for later this year.

Whether it's simply a solid adaptation or an Oscar-worthy triumph in its own right remains to be seen, but the trailer definitely looks promising.

Release Date: June 18
