Matrix 4 will release on May 21, 2021, and The Batman is slated to release on June 25, 2021.

Warner Brothers Studio is jam-packed with several big-ticket films in the pipeline. Amongst the 2021 releases, we have the eagerly awaited Matt Reeves directorial, The Batman, which will see Robert Pattinson take on the reigns from Ben Affleck as the new Dark Knight of Gotham City. Furthermore, The Batman has a stellar supporting cast which includes Zoë Kravitz, Colin Farrell, Jeffrey Wright, Andy Serkis, Paul Dano and John Turturro in pivotal roles.
