The catalog of LGBT paintings is updated every year, and it is not so small anymore! Queer cinema is evolving and the representation of LGBTQ + people is reaching a new level. The year 2021 has also prepared several films about gays - in our selection you can watch the best new projects about men's love, touching stories and long-awaited sequels!
Call Me by Your Name Sequel
- Italy
- Genre: romance, drama
- Expectations rating - 97%
- Director: Luca Guadagnho
Finally, we waited! Luca Guadagnino's homo-drama Call Me by Your Name in 2017 was one of the best films of the year and one of the best films dedicated to gay romance. The sincerity of the characters and the great cast left their mark on the memory of the audience. Elio's broken heart and grief is what we saw in the ending and during the credits. Timothy Chalamet's tears rolled to the sound of Sufjan Stevens' Mystery of love, and all the audience cried with him. Although the story of the film ended there, it did not happen in the book. Those who have read the original know perfectly well that Elio and Oliver will see each other again. So even if Andre Asiman, author of Call Me By Your Name, had not written the script for the sequel, there would have been enough material for another film.

What makes The Eternals so special to be part of this list is Fastos, the homosexual superhero. And, in all likelihood, he is the first gay superhero from the Marvel Universe. Fostos is an inventor with cosmic power, a kind of Iron Man equivalent for the Eternals, because he designs and develops all the coolest devices and weapons for them. He will be played by Brian Tyree Henry, an American actor, Emmy and Tony nominated. In this case, the hero will have a homo-family and even a child.
The creators also promised that the "Eternals" will show the first gay kiss in the history of Marvel. “It's a beautiful, very touching kiss,” said actor Haas Sleiman (he will play Fastos's husband). “Everyone was crying on the set. It is very important for me to show how loving and beautiful a queer family can be ”. Recall that the "Eternals" are an alien race of immortal creatures created by the celestials who have secretly lived on Earth for more than 7000 years. They bravely defended humanity from their evil fellow Deviants.
