Netflix unveiled its huge list of films for 2021 on Tuesday, consisting of 70 original films, including a first look at what may be the biggest of the year, Don’t Look Up.
The streaming service revealed a preview of its list of films with images from several of its new projects, ending with the first look at Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio in Don’t Look Up.
The project is still being filmed, under the guidance of screenwriter and director Adam McKay (Vice, The Big Short), although Netflix has not revealed when it plans to launch it.

The short clip (which starts at the 2:14 mark in the video above) shows JLaw’s character Kate Dibiasky and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Dr. Randall Mindy.
The two are seen standing on the edge of an empty cargo plane, holding their own bags as the compartment doors begin to open.
Mindy, with black hair and beard and metal-rimmed glasses, gives Dibasky a nervous look, a redhead with a pierced nose, who looks very calm.

The sneak peek ends with the two characters getting off the plane, which will probably be the last sneak peek we’ll see for a while.
The story follows Dibiasky and Mindy, described as, ‘two low-level astronomers’ who are tasked with embarking on a ‘giant media tour to alert humanity to the approach of a comet that will destroy planet Earth.’
While we see only Lawrence and DiCaprio in the brief images, they lead a cast full of talent.
