50 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2021

12. The Green Knight

The Green Knight Dev Patel
A24

David Lowery (A Ghost Story) is one of the most singularly evocative directors working today, and so anticipation is high for his R-rated adaptation of the poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight."

Dev Patel will star as Sir Gawain, while he's joined by the illustrious likes of Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton, Sean Harris, Sarita Choudhury, Kate Dickie, Barry Keoghan, and Ralph Ineson.

The trailers suggest another visually stunning, haunting triumph from Lowery, and one which could very well offer up Patel's finest performance to date. After years of middling King Arthur movie adaptations, this could be just the ticket.

Release Date: July 30
