3 Netflix movies you need to stream before they leave this month
Netflix boasts an impressive, ever-changing lineup of shows and movies. New movies are coming to the streaming service all the time, but that churn means that Netflix frequently loses worthwhile watches, too. We now know which films are due to leave the platform within the next week and there are a couple of genuine classics on that list. One is an all-time superhero movie from one of the industry's biggest directors, and the other is an acclaimed adaptation of a Jane Austen classic. I've also thrown in a third movie that doesn't necessarily have the best reputation, but it's an action thriller that I think a lot of viewers might get a kick out of (given the sequel made quite a splash when it dropped on the platform earlier this year). Without further ado, here are the three Netflix movies you should make time to stream before it's too late. Looking for a dose of action? 'Den of Thieves' might be the movie for you. Christian Gudegast's 2018 thriller sees grizzled Detective 'Big Nick' O'Brien on the trail of a highly-skilled gang of robbers led by ex-Marine, Ray Merrimen (Pablo Schreiber). Their target? The supposedly impenetrable Federal Reserve and billions of dollars' worth of old bills held therein. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Sequel 'Den of Thieves: Pantera' was a popular watch when it hit Netflix earlier this year, and while that light-hearted sequel eclipses this more serious starting point, if you're a Gerard Butler fan or you want something a little high-octane to liven up your streaming, 'Den of Thieves' deserves a look. Watch 'Den of Thieves' on Netflix until June 1 If you didn't manage to mark the 20th anniversary of this celebrated Jane Austen adaptation last month, now's the perfect time to visit Joe Wright's acclaimed, Oscar-nominated period drama. Taking us back to the 18th Century, Wright's 'Pride and Prejudice' is a spirited adaptation that recounts the story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. It may not be the most faithful take on Austen's novel, but it absolutely deserves its reputation as a classic. There's a reason it's one of our favorite Jane Austen movies. Chiefly, that's down to fantastic lead performances from Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen, and some truly beautiful visuals and direction. If your heart needs romance this month, you know what you need to stream. Watch 'Pride and Prejudice' on Netflix until June 1 Hot take incoming: 'The Dark Knight' is good, actually. It's a superhero movie that puts you on the edge of your seat from the jump with that Gotham bank heist, and then really never lets up. Christian Bale and Heath Ledger bring their all to their respective roles as the Caped Crusader and the Clown Prince of Crime, rendering their characters with skill. Brought to life with skill across the board, this is a tense, dramatic, and gritty watch, and a rewarding one at that. Realistically, I'm not saying anything new here: "The Dark Knight" is about as hyped up as a superhero movie can get, but it's all well-deserved praise. If you've not seen it, watch it; if you have, watch it anyway. Watch 'The Dark Knight' on Netflix until June 1 P.S. If you've been planning a Nolan Batman trilogy rewatch on Netflix, now's the time to do it, as both 'Batman Begins' and 'The Dark Knight Rises' are also slated to leave the streamer on the same day.

‘Den of Thieves 3' in the Works at Lionsgate, Gerard Butler and O'Shea Jackson Jr. to Return
Lionsgate, Tucker Tooley Entertainment and G-BASE are moving a third film in the 'Den of Thieves' franchise into active development.

It is also expected that O'Shea Jackson Jr. will co-star in the third installment. Earlier this month, Jackson Jr. told Variety he was hoping for more 'Den of Thieves' in the near future. 'I'm not gonna sugarcoat it: I'm trying to Vin Diesel this thing. To quote Ryan Reynolds, I want to work with Gerard until he's 90,' he said. 'I have such a family feel with these guys. I know how much I want to do these other films, but we cannot cheapen this beautiful thing that we made. This one took six or seven years to get done. I hope the next one doesn't. In our heart of hearts, we won't make it if it's not right and if it's not the same thing that made audiences fall in love with the franchise in the first place.' Tucker Tooley Entertainment, which produced and co-financed the first film and brought the franchise to Lionsgate from STX, will co-produce and jointly finance 'Den of Thieves 3.' Tooley will produce under his label, and Lionsgate will distribute the next chapter. Tucker Tooley Entertainment is a feature film and television finance and production company established by principals Tucker Tooley and Greg Renker. It has been a key force in shaping high-impact storytelling across both theatrical and streaming platforms, with its films grossing more than $2.6 billion at the worldwide box office. Over a 10-month window between 2024 and 2025, Tooley delivered back-to-back hits, including Netflix's No. 1 film 'The Deliverance' and Lionsgate's theatrical release 'Arthur the King' with Mark Wahlberg. Other recent projects include 'Concrete Cowboy,' which also opened at No. 1 for Netflix, and 'The United States vs Billie Holiday,' which earned an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe win for lead actress Andra Day. The company's documentary 'Finding Satoshi' is set to release in 2025. G-BASE, the production company founded by Butler and Siegel, has produced over 20 feature films since its inception in 2008, including 'Law Abiding Citizen,' the 'Has Fallen' trilogy, 'Greenland' and 'Greenland: Migration,' 'Plane' and the eight-part television series 'Paris Has Fallen' for StudioCanal on Hulu, soon to begin filming its second season.
