The new year is only a month old, but Netflix wants to send an important message about its 2022 plans: It has no intention of giving up its status as the king of the streaming services. There will be 86 Netflix original movies released in 2022, which is 16 more than the 70 original flicks that Netflix released in 2021. In short, “every night is movie night.” Netflix has released a promo video for its 2022 films that feature several A-list stars breaking character in the midst of their clips to extoll the virtues of Netflix’s approach. There’s even a first look at Knives Out 2, which is currently in production, with a return appearance by Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc. One of the most prominently featured movies in the video is The Adam Project, which stars Ryan Reynolds as a pilot who travels back in time and teams up with his younger self to save the future. Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner, Walker Scobell, Catherine Keener, and Zoe Saldaña will co-star in the film, which is due March 11 on Netflix. Some of the other intriguing flicks include Day Shift, which features Jamie Foxx as a vampire hunter; as well as The Gray Man, a new action film directed by Avengers: Endgame helmers Anthony and Joe Russo. They will guide an incredible cast that includes Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jessica Henwick, Wagner Moura, Dhanush, Billy Bob Thornton, Alfre Woodard, and Regé-Jean Page. Another big movie coming to Netflix in 2022 is director Paul Feig’s The School For Good and Evil, which features Charlize Theron and Kerry Washington in the leading roles alongside Laurence Fishburne, Michelle Yeoh, Sofia Wylie, Sophie Anne Caruso, Jamie Flatters, Kit Young, Sir Ben Kingsley, Patti LuPone, and Rachel Bloom. There may also be some surprises along the way. It certainly looks like Netflix’s 2022 lineup is going to be the envy of its rivals. Netflix’s live-action adaptation of One Piece has added four villains to its season 2 cast. The new cast members include Daniel Lasker (Raised by Wolves) as Mr. 9, Camrus Johnson (Batwoman) as Mr. 5, Jazzara Jaslyn (Warrior) as Miss Valentine, and David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil) as Mr. 3. These four characters are agents in the criminal organization known as Baroque Works. Benoit Blanc will return for another case next year. Rian Johnson announced Knives Out 3 will be titled Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. The third Knives Out film arrives in 2025 on Netflix, with Daniel Craig reprising his role as Benoit Blanc. On Friday, Johnson announced the news in a short teaser video on X (formerly Twitter). Craig narrates the video as Blanc, saying, “In the beginning, the knives came out. Then, behold, the glass was shattered. But my most dangerous case yet is about to be revealed.” Netflix has cultivated Millie Bobby Brown as a rising star since her breakout role in Stranger Things, which is why she’s already headlined two Enola Holmes movies for the streamer. This week, Brown is going full action heroine in Damsel, a new Netflix original film that casts her in the leading role of Princess Elodie, a young woman who discovers that her dream wedding is a nightmare. After her would-be husband’s family tries to sacrifice her, Elodie has to pick up a sword and fight for her life. If you like Netflix’s Damsel, you should watch these three fantasy movies. And you won’t even have to go far for the first one because it’s already streaming on Netflix.
