🎥 NEW MOVIE TRAILERS:
Not every hero arrives with hope, some arrive with scars.
🎥 Supergirl — Teaser Trailer
(in theaters Jun 26th)
After soaring in with a brief, hungover cameo in James Gunn’s Superman, Kara Zor-El finally steps into her own spotlight, and this is not your bright-eyed Kryptonian hero story. Supergirl leans sharper, darker, and a little meaner, introducing a jaded cousin who has seen far more loss than hope. Watching Krypton burn will do that to you.
Directed by Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya and Cruella) and written by Ana Nogueira, the film pulls inspiration from the acclaimed comic book Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, a cosmic revenge tale about grief, fury, and carving out an identity beyond someone else’s legend. With Krypto at her side, Kara is dragged into a brutal interstellar quest alongside a young alien girl bent on vengeance.
House of the Dragon’s Milly Alcock leads a cast that includes Eve Ridley as Supergirl’s new young companion Ruthye Marye Knoll, and Matthias Schoenaerts as the ruthless space pirate Krem of the Yellow Hills, with Jason Momoa’s long-rumored Lobo looming on the horizon.
Supergirl flies into theaters June 26th, ready to give the DCU an attitude adjustment.
Choose your fighter.
🎥 Street Fighter — Game Awards Teaser
(in theaters Oct 16th)
Anyone who grew up feeding quarters into arcade cabinets knows the pull of Street Fighter. The 1994 movie may have missed the mark, but it earned cult status by being loud, goofy, and strangely unforgettable. Fans have been waiting decades for a version that finally hits as hard as the game itself. And that moment might be here.
Unveiled at the 2025 Game Awards, the new Street Fighter reboot promises a tougher, more faithful take, one that leans into bone-crunching combat while keeping just enough self-awareness to avoid going joyless. Think neon-lit cities, globe-spanning brawls, and fists flying with purpose.
Directed by Kitao Sakurai and written by Dalan Musson, the film follows estranged warriors Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken (Noah Centineo) as they’re pulled back together by Chun-Li (Callina Liang) and forced into the brutal World Warrior Tournament. Old bonds resurface, personal demons boil over, and losing means far more than bruised pride.
Featuring a stacked cast with too many names to list (notably David Dastmalchian as Bison, wrestler Roman Reigns as Akuma, wrestler Cody Rhodes as Guile, country musician Orville Peck as Vega, and Jason Momoa as Blanka), Street Fighter aims to bring back that old Capcom vibe fans have missed for so long. Hitting theaters October 16th.
Love is easy. Committing to it is terrifying.
🎥 The Drama — Teaser Trailer
(in theaters Apr 3rd)
Zendaya and Robert Pattinson step into a modern romance that feels painfully familiar in The Drama, a love story shaped by doubt, revelation, and the quiet panic that can creep in when forever suddenly feels uncertain. Falling in love is one thing. Racing toward marriage while questioning everything you thought you knew is another.
This latest A24 offering follows Emma (Zendaya), a sharp, idealistic bookstore clerk, and Charlie (Pattinson), a charming London museum director, as their once-perfect romance begins to fracture in the weeks leading up to their wedding. Small doubts turn louder. Second thoughts refuse to stay buried. Even their pre-wedding photo shoot becomes an achingly uncomfortable exercise in pretending everything’s fine.
Written and directed by Dream Scenario filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli, this off-kilter relationship drama explores modern love as something intimate, awkward, and deeply destabilizing — leaning into the fear of choosing the wrong person... and the pressure to smile through it anyway.
Produced by Ari Aster, The Drama is due to open in theaters April 3rd.
All revolutions start with good intentions.
🎥 Animal Farm: A Cautionary Tale — Trailer
(in theaters May 1st)
George Orwell’s Animal Farm has never stopped feeling uncomfortably relevant, and this new animated adaptation leans hard into why the 1945 classic still hits close to home. What begins as a seemingly harmless uprising — a farm full of animals overthrowing their human masters — quickly curdles into a sharp allegory about power, propaganda, and how easily equality can be corrupted once control is up for grabs.
Directed by actor and filmmaker Andy Serkis, this animated fantasy comedy reimagines Orwell’s timeless fable with vivid energy and a stacked voice cast. Seth Rogen voices Napoleon, the Saddleback boar who twists the revolution to serve his own selfish ambition, while Stranger Things star Gaten Matarazzo plays Lucky, a young piglet caught between the farm’s founding ideals and the grim reality taking shape. Kieran Culkin’s Squealer slithers in as Napoleon’s propaganda-spinning right hand. Meanwhile, Glenn Close voices Freida Pilkington, a billionaire human neighbor eager to exploit the farm’s chaos for her own gain... a reminder that power rarely operates alone.
Written by Nicholas Stoller (Neighbors, Storks) and also featuring voices from Laverne Cox, Woody Harrelson, Jim Parsons, Kathleen Turner, Steve Buscemi, and Iman Vellani, with Serkis himself pulling double duty as Mr. Jones, the original owner of the farm, and Randolph the Rooster, Animal Farm: A Cautionary Tale will arrive in theaters May 1st.
Where there’s a Trekkie, there’s a way.
🎥 Beam Me Up, Sulu — Trailer
(on VOD/Digital in Feb)
For most Star Trek fans, loving the shows is enough. For Stan Woo, it meant grabbing a camera and chasing a dream. Back in the ’80s, he and a group of friends set out to make their own Star Trek fan film with almost no money, weekend shoots, and a lot of nerve—enough to convince George Takei to reprise his iconic role as Hikaru Sulu for an Enterprise side mission. Then the footage went missing. No final edit. No premiere. Just decades of “what if.”
This indie documentary picks up that story nearly forty years later, tracking down the lost reels and uncovering something far more meaningful than missing footage. The doc plays like a cinematic detective story and a heartfelt love letter to fandom, creativity, and perseverance, exploring why Star Trek continues to resonate; especially for fans who rarely saw themselves on screen. It’s a reminder that sometimes fandom isn’t always about nostalgia or canon debates, but sometimes about finishing a story because it deserves to be finished.
Beam Me Up, Sulu is set to arrive on VOD and digital platforms this February.

📺 Hijack: Season 2 — Trailer
(on Apple TV Wed, Jan 14th)
Hijack returns for Season 2 with a new nightmare scenario and zero interest in taking it easy. This time, Idris Elba’s Sam Nelson finds himself trapped aboard a Berlin subway train racing through underground tunnels, packed with commuters and crawling with danger. Hundreds of hostages. No easy exits. And a crisis that feels even less controllable than before.
Sam’s reputation doesn’t help. After surviving one high-profile hijacking, authorities don’t see him as a savior, they see a wildcard. A possible liability. Maybe even a suspect. The tension tightens as every move is questioned and every word carries weight.
Created by George Kay and Jim Field Smith, the Apple thriller series keeps its real-time intensity intact, leaning into moral gray areas and split-second decisions. Elba’s Sam remains the calm center of the storm, sharp, composed, and always thinking ahead... until the situation starts thinking faster.
Season 2 brings back familiar faces (Christine Adams, Max Beesley, and Archie Panjabi) and adds new ones (Toby Jones), all caught in a pressure cooker that never lets up. Hijack Season 2 premieres Wednesday, January 14th on Apple TV.
In the spy game, identity is the first casualty.
📺 The Night Manager: Season 2 — Trailer
(on Prime Video Sun, Jan 11th)
The Night Manager finally returns, and Jonathan Pine is deeper undercover than ever. Tom Hiddleston steps back into the world of espionage as a man whose former identity has been erased, replaced by a carefully constructed alias and a mission that demands total surrender of the self.
Now operating as Alex Goodwin, Pine is pulled into the orbit of Teddy Dos Santos (Babylon’s Diego Calva), a charming Colombian power broker with lethal ambitions and global reach. The deeper Alex goes, the harder it becomes to tell where the role ends and the man begins, especially as a dangerous romance with Camila Morrone draws him further inside a sprawling arms network threatening to destabilize an entire region. Identity fractures. Loyalties blur. Every instinct feels compromised.
With Olivia Colman returning as the razor-sharp Angela Burr and Georgi Banks-Davies directing, the new season leans into a sleeker, more ruthless take on John le Carré’s shadowy world, where survival often comes at the cost of the soul.
The Night Manager: Season 2 premieres Sunday, January 11th on Prime Video.
Two versions of the truth. One body in the middle.
📺 His & Hers — Trailer
(on Netflix Thurs, Jan 8th)
His & Hers drops Netflix viewers into the sticky heat of Atlanta with a mystery that refuses to sit still. Based on Alice Feeney’s bestselling novel, this twisty new miniseries frames its story through clashing perspectives, where motive, memory, and truth becomes muddled.
Tessa Thompson stars as Anna, a former rising news reporter pulled back toward her small-town past when a murder of a local woman explodes into national headlines. Jon Bernthal plays Detective Jack Harper, leading the investigation and deeply suspicious of Anna’s sudden interest. They share history. They share scars. And the victim connects to both of them in ways that feel anything but accidental.
Written and directed by filmmaker William Oldroyd (Lady Macbeth and Eileen), the series thrives on tension and misdirection, turning every conversation into a potential lie and every detail into a trap. So, the question isn’t who wants the truth. It’s who’s hiding it.
His & Hers premieres Thursday, January 8th on Netflix.
