Netflix unveiled their huge 2021 lineup of movies on Tuesday, comprising 70 original films, including a first look at what might be their biggest of the year, Don’t Look Up.
The streaming service revealed a sneak peek at their video featuring footage from several of their new projects, ending with the first look at Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio in Don’t Look Up.
The project is still filming, led by writer-director Adam McKay (Vice, The Big Short), although Netflix hasn’t revealed when they plan to release it.

The short clip (which starts at 2:14 of the video above) shows the character Kate Dibiasky from JLaw and Dr. Randall Mindy from Leonardo DiCaprio.
They are both standing at the edge of an empty cargo plane, their own rollbags in hand as the doors open.
Mindy, with jet black hair and beard with wire-rimmed glasses, glances nervously at Dibasky, a redhead with a nose piercing who looks as calm as can be.

The sneak peek ends with both characters walking out of the plane, which is probably the last sneak peek we’ll be seeing in quite some time.
The story follows Dibiasky and Mindy, described as “two low-level astronomers” tasked with embarking on a “massive media tour to warn humanity of an approaching comet that will destroy planet Earth.”
Although we only see Lawrence and DiCaprio in the short images, they lead an ensemble cast full of talent.
