Here’s a spotlight on some of the Netflix films you should keep an eye on in 2020:
Spenser Confidential – March 6, 2020: Mark Wahlberg stars in this film from his frequent collaborator Peter Berg, who he’s worked with multiple times on movies like Mile 22, Patriots Day, Deepwater Horizon, and Lone Survivor. Based on the book Wonderland by Ace Atkins, Wahlberg will be playing Detective Spenser—his first name is not revealed in the book series—an ex-cop who gets pulled into solving a case alongside Winston Duke’s Hawk, an up-and-coming MMA fighter. Along with Wahlberg and Duke, the film stars rapper Post Malone, Alan Arkin, Iliza Shlesinger, Bokeem Woodbine, Cassie Ventura, Donald Cerrone, and Marc Maron. The film is scheduled for a March 6, 2020 release.
Out of the Fire – 2020 Release: Chris Hemsworth trades in Thor’s hammer for this new action film to play Tyler Rake, a mercenary on the black market who is tasked with saving the kidnapped son of an international crime lord. Directed by stuntman and stunt coordinator Sam Hargrave, who worked on Marvel films like Avengers: Endgame, Deadpool 2, Thor: Ragnarok, and Captain America: Civil War, the film also stars David Harbour (Stranger Things) in a key role. Harbour will be making his own Marvel Cinematic Universe debut when he stars in Black Widow in May, and it’s possible he could interact with Hemsworth’s Thor in future films. This “action-packed” film was written by Joe Russo, half of the Russo Brothers directing duo who handled the Avengers saga for Marvel.
Eurovision – 2020 Release: If you’ve never watched the Eurovision Song Contest, now is the time to learn about it. In this new comedy from Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin, Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams reunite from that film to star as Lars Erickssong and Sigrit Ericksdottir, aspiring musicians who get chosen to represent their country at the mega-competition. The film was co-written by Ferrell and also stars Pierce Brosnan, Dan Stevens and Demi Lovato. Ferrell even went to the finals of the 2018 Eurovision competition to do some research, talking with contestants and taking in the atmosphere.
Da 5 Bloods – 2020 Release: Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman is teaming up with director Spike Lee for this war drama that follows four African American Vietnam veterans years after the war. The group returns to Vietnam to search for the missing remains of their squad leader and the added bonus of possibly uncovering buried treasure. Along with the Boseman, the film stars Delroy Lindo, Clarke Peters, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Giancarlo Esposito and Norm Lewis. This isn’t the first time Lee has taken on a war film: He directed the 2008 World War II drama Miracle at St. Anna.
