Netflix continues its streak of delivering top-notch movies and series following the end of the Hollywood strikes. Its upcoming gem would be Leave the World Behind, which will feature some of the heavyweights of the industry. This includes Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, Myha’la, and Kevin Bacon. Adapted from Rumaan Alam’s 2020 novel under the same name, the movie had its Netflix premiere at the Paris Theater in New York City on December 4, 2023.

Following the premiere, images of the cast from the red carpet circulated on the internet with Netflix sharing them today. Especially of Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke, who share exceptional on and off-screen chemistry. Apart from them, Mahershala Ali also made a striking impression with his stylish presence at the premiere. The film unfolds with Roberts and Hawke as a married couple on vacation with their children. It then slowly takes a dark turn with the arrival of two people, played by Mahershala Ali and Myha’la. 

Julia Roberts stole the spotlight in a breathtaking black shimmery bodycon dress with a high neck collar and paired it up with matching stockings. She elevated the look with a long, oversized white blazer and opted for a subtle neckpiece. Meanwhile, co-star Ethan Hawke donned a sharp black-and-white suit ensemble. Mahershala Ali showcased his unique style in a yellow blazer with black stripes and finished his look with his signature hat at the premiere. 

Three days ahead of the movie’s release, the stars’ stunning appearance at the premiere furled fans’ excitement and they expressed themselves on X, formerly Twitter. 

Fans excited to see the cast of Leave the World Behind at its Netflix premiere

The cast of the upcoming movie is no stranger to acclaim. Many of the actors from Leave the World Behind are seasoned actors and have even won Academy Awards. This has assured the audiences of a captivating cinematic experience that will hit the small screens on December 8. With a similar expectation, fans took to X to express their appreciation for the cast after seeing glimpses from the movie’s premiere.

Some also congratulated the stars for their upcoming project, which had its world premiere at the AFI Fest on October 25, 2023. 

Fanatics flooded the comments with heartfelt adjectives for the American psychological thriller film written, directed, and produced by Sam Esmail.

There were, however, a few fans who were still upset over Netflix’s decision to cancel Shadow and Bones. The cancellation of this much-loved show drew in a lot of backlash from Netflix. Leave the World Behind has already been released in limited theaters on November 22, and now it will grace the small screens through Netflix.
