Netflix offers first looks at 2023 slate, including new David Fincher and Zack Snyder movies

Netflix has released a new sizzle reel containing first looks at a variety of its big 2023 original movies.

Some of the most notable titles include the Adam Sandler-Jennifer Aniston comedy Murder Mystery 2 (March 31st), the Chris Hemsworth-led action flick Extraction 2 (June 16th), the David Fincher thriller The Killer (November 10th) and Zack Snyder’s sci-fi epic Rebel Moon (December 22nd).

See below for the full video:

It’s become customary for Netflix to share these film previews early in the year, but this one takes on added significance amid a slump in business for the streamer. In the past year, the company reported multiple quarterly losses and cancelled a slew of shows, which hasn’t exactly instilled consumers with optimism.

To help recoup costs, the streamer also launched a low-cost ad-supported tier in November while preparing a password sharing paywall for early this year. The latter move has been met with significant criticism, especially when it had previously made tweets like “love is sharing a password.” A specific rollout date for the password sharing paywall has not yet been confirmed.

Gal Gadot initially hid pregnancy on Justice League set

Gal Gadot initially hid her pregnancy from her ‘Justice League’ co-stars.

The ‘Wonder Woman’ actress was expecting her second child while filming the DC Extended Universe movie but she made the decision not to tell her co-stars for as long as possible because she didn’t want any unwanted "attention" or concern for her wellbeing.

Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine, she said: "I didn’t want attention. The default should be that women get the job done, but there’s a long way to go and a lot of reprogramming that needs to be done to both genders."

Ultimately the time came when Gal couldn’t hide her pregnancy any longer and once it was out in the open she was able to free her bump.

She recalled: "We cut open the costume and had this green screen on my stomach. It was funny as hell – Wonder Woman with a bump."

The upcoming ensemble movie will see Gal’s Amazonian alter ego join forces with fellow superheroes Batman (Ben Affleck), The Flash (Ezra Miller), Aquaman (Jason Momoa) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher) to battle an alien threat to Earth.

‘Justice League’ is slated to be released this November and Gal is already preparing to star in the sequel to her box office smash hit standalone ‘Wonder Woman’ movie.

Looking back at the initial criticisms of her casting as the iconic DC Comics character, Gal can now laugh that some fans were angry because she didn’t have a big enough bust.

Recalling when her body shape was criticized, she said: "I told them, ‘Listen, if you want to be for real, then the Amazons, they had only one boob. Exactly one boob. So what are you talking about here? Me having small boobs and a small ass? That will make all the difference.’"

Growing up in Rosh Ha’ayin in the heart of Israel, the brunette beauty did notice that men and women were treated differently but she refuses to be silenced because of her gender.

She insisted: "I’ve had my moments where I’ve felt like men were misbehaving – nothing sexual, but inappropriate in a sexist way. Dismissive. Life wasn’t always rosy and peachy for me as a woman in the world."
