As the world accelerates faster into 2021, we’ve now got about ten months of adventure and possibility awaiting us. Of course, what lies behind us in 2019-2020 may vary from person to person, but for action lovers, it was a twelve-month long buffet table of speed. But that was then, this is now so let’s zoom forward to what 2020 has in store. And frankly folks, it’s safe to say that 2020 has a lot to offer action aficionados!From animated adaptations of famed fighting games and the stunning rise of action on the small screen, to the year’s decidedly female-driven superhero flicks and the sharpest combat that either Hong Kong or Hollywood has to offer, fans of martial arts action have quite a few spaces to vividly etch in on this collective calendar of ours.Of course, the more fickle nature of release dates within our beloved genre in comparison with others does usually result in a few holdovers from the previous year carrying over into the next, and 2021 is no exception This time around, the holdovers from 2019-2020 include: “Enter the Fat Dragon”, “The Invincible Dragon”, “Seized”, and “The King’s Man. Add those into the mix of what’s set up for this year, and it’s safe to say that 2020 is preparing to take action fanatics on one hell of an incredibly blistering, and electrifying speed, stunts and kicks. So buckle up readers – here (in descending order with trailers included where available) are the great Anticipated Martial Arts Movies of 2021!
