    Netflix has just dropped the trailer for its science-fiction thriller Extinction, in which a man's nightmares of losing his family morph into a reality as alien invaders try to wipe out humanity. The movie has a strong cast, including Ant-Man and The Wasp's Michael Peña, Lizzy Caplan and Luke Cage star Mike Colter. Netflix snapped up Extinction after Universal yanked it from its scheduled January release.

    The Cloverfield Paradox isn't the only sci-fi movie Netflix has saved from Hollywood purgatory. Variety has discovered that Netflix bought the worldwide rights to Extinction, a sci-fi thriller from Universal starring Lizzy Caplan and Michael Pena. The studio was originally slated to have released the alien invasion flick on January 26th, but took it off its release schedule just two months prior -- not exactly a resounding vote of confidence. The title is expected to premiere on Netflix sometime later in 2018.
