Trailer Blitz! Supergirl, Tuner, Heel, Idiotka and More!
🎥 Here's a list of films coming to screens soon!
🎥 “Supergirl” New Promos: Milly Alcock Takes Flight as Kara Zor-El While Jason Momoa Makes His Long-Awaited Live-Action Debut as Lobo — In Theaters June 26th
This summer, Supergirl will be leaping onto the big screen with her very own feature film. But she won’t be the only comic book favorite getting their moment to shine. Jason Momoa fulfills a lifelong dream by suiting up as the intergalactic bounty hunter Lobo, making the DC antihero’s long-awaited live-action debut in the upcoming Supergirl movie. And DC fans have never been more curious to see how this wilder, rougher corner of the universe collides with Kara Zor-El’s journey.
In a couple of new Supergirl promos, Lobo becomes a major part of the promotional material, as it’s undeniable that casting Momoa as the character might be a stroke of genius, even though he’s already known in the DC universe as Aquaman. Here, fans get a better look at Momoa’s interpretation of Lobo, charging in on a motorbike from hell and chomping down on a thick, burning cigar. It’s an image that might as well have been ripped straight from the comic book pages, as Momoa seems absolutely made for the role.
Directed by Craig Gillespie, of Cruella and I, Tonya fame, Supergirl follows the events of James Gunn’s Superman movie, where Kara Zor-El (played by House of the Dragon’s Milly Alcock) is still grappling emotionally with having grown up witnessing the destruction of Krypton and the loss of her parents. Tired of living in the shadow of her cousin, Kara finds herself hopping around planets and drowning her feelings in alcohol along the way.
That’s until she encounters Ruthye Marye Knoll (Eve Ridley), an orphaned alien girl seeking help to exact vengeance on the man responsible for her family’s slaughter. Soon enough, Supergirl is roped into a planet-trotting quest to hunt down the ruthless space pirate Krem of the Yellow Hills (Matthias Schoenaerts). And this is where we imagine Lobo fits in—as a bounty hunter by trade, he’d be exactly the kind of muscle you’d hire to track someone like Krem, or at the very least, the kind of guy who knows where he might be hiding.
Inspired by the acclaimed comic book miniseries Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by writer Tom King and artist Bilquis Evely, Supergirl is set to take flight in theaters this summer, starting June 26th.
🎥 “Tuner” Trailer: Leo Woodall Turns Perfect Pitch Into a Dangerous Weapon in This Taut Crime Thriller with Havana Rose Liu & Dustin Hoffman— In Theaters May 22nd
We can think of so many ways a person can enter a life of crime. So many reasons and so many paths that didn’t start with bad intentions, but some way or another end with a single choice that turns a life of promise into something more dangerous. Well, this new crime thriller certainly has an interesting take, one we didn’t see coming—and one that reframes how easily a talent can be used for good or twisted into something far more nefarious.
In Tuner, Leo Woodall, one of the breakout stars of Season 2 of HBO’s The White Lotus, stars as Niki, a gifted young piano tuner whose hyper-acute sense of hearing draws the wrong kind of attention. While working for his mentor, a veteran piano tuner and piano repairman, Harry Horowitz, played by Oscar-winner Dustin Hoffman, Niki finds himself bouncing around New York through various corners of the city. Because of Niki’s rare hearing condition since birth, he must wear protective ear gear to muffle loud noises. But that same condition has also gifted him the uncanny ability to identify notes from a single piano key string.
So one day on the job, while tuning a grand piano at a fancy estate, Niki bumps into a shady crew of so-called locksmiths who are there trying to crack open the owner’s locked safe. Given a challenge on the spot, Niki demonstrates his skill, using sound and pitch to “hear” the safe’s inner mechanism—revealing a talent that’s far more useful, and far more lucrative, than his day job.
With his mentor Harry suddenly falling ill and landing in the hospital, medical bills piling up by the day, Niki takes it upon himself to use his newfound safecracking abilities—telling himself it’s temporary, justified, and under control... right up until it isn’t. As the money starts rolling in from jobs that barely stay on the right side of the law, Niki’s life begins to spiral, complicating even his budding romance with a young concert pianist and music college student, played by Bottoms actress Havana Rose Liu.
Tuner marks the narrative feature debut of filmmaker Daniel Roher, who earned an Academy Award for his 2020 investigative documentary Navalny about Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
Co-starring Tovah Feldshuh, Jean Reno, and Lior Raz, Tuner is slated to hit theaters May 22nd.
🎥 “Heel” Trailer: Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough Turn ‘Reform’ Into Psychological Terror in Jan Komasa’s Twisted Psychological Thriller with Anson Boon — In U.S. Theaters March 6th
Nature vs. nutrition is a long debate over how we perceive human behavior—whether people are fundamentally wired a certain way from birth or endlessly reshaped by upbringing, culture, and circumstance. But the bigger societal question is what we should do to correct one’s behavior once they’ve crossed that line and become a problem in the eyes of society.
Well, Stephen Graham, the recent Emmy-winner of Adolescence, gets to explore that very question in his latest psychological thriller, digging into the uncomfortable gray area between punishment and rehabilitation. And his character certainly has a twisted method of correcting one’s behavior, blurring the line between discipline and outright cruelty. The film’s title is Heel, which should give you a pretty clear idea of how he goes about showing someone who’s in control—and how far he’s willing to go to enforce obedience.
Directed by Jan Komasa, the Academy Award–nominated Polish filmmaker behind Corpus Christi, Heel sees Graham starring opposite Andrea Riseborough as Chris and Kathryn, a married couple who have just captured a local 19-year-old hooligan named Tommy (played by Anson Boon, currently starring in the Tom Hardy-led London crime series MobLand). Chained up in their basement, Tommy has become a test subject for Chris’s warped experiment in behavioral rehabilitation. Treating the kidnapping like an unconventional intervention, Chris speaks in calm tones, insists on manners, and refers to Tommy’s captivity as a necessary correction for what he calls a “rebellious phase.”
While Chris and Kathryn’s own children ask questions about Tommy, they reassure them that what they’re doing is for his own good—even as the frequent beatings at the hands of Chris are framed as something Tommy must endure if he wants to learn to be a “good boy.”
Heel, which debuted last September at the Toronto International Film Festival under the title Good Boy, borders on the strangely macabre and darkly satirical, with critics raving about its genre-bending tone and unnerving ability to balance pitch-black humor with brutal psychological horror. And it doesn’t hurt that the film has two of the best British actors working today in Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough, who know exactly how to strike the right tonal balance, making the madness feel disturbingly plausible rather than exaggerated.
Co-starring Kit Rakusen, Austin Haynes, Savannah Steyn, and Monika Frajczyk, Heel arrives in U.S. theaters March 6th.
🎥 “Idiotka” Trailer: Anna Baryshnikov Chases the American Dream One Reality Show Meltdown at a Time in Nastasya Popov’s Indie Russian Fashion Designer Comedy with Camila Mendes & Julia Fox — In Select Theaters February 5th
You might have seen Anna Baryshnikov in the short-lived CBS sitcom Superior Donuts or perhaps co-starring across three seasons of Apple’s Emily Dickinson historical farce Dickinson. She has also appeared in small roles in films like Manchester by the Sea and Love Lies Bleeding. Showing an adeptness for using her physicality to comedic effect, Anna Baryshnikov may have naturally learned how to push her body movements from her father. Here’s a little fun fact: Anna’s dad is none other than Russian-Latvian ballet legend Mikhail Baryshnikov.
Which makes Anna Baryshnikov’s latest film project all the more poignant and personal, as she takes the lead as an aspiring fashion designer who enters a reality competition show in hopes of winning the top prize to help keep her Russian immigrant family from being thrown out of their L.A. home.
In this upcoming indie dramedy Idiotka, chasing the American Dream is just a reality show where all contestants must prove they’re “relatable.” And what’s more relatable than a dreamer living in a house full of debt, desperation, and family expectations that feel impossible to outrun?
Set in the Russian district of West Hollywood, Anna Baryshnikov plays Margarita, a wannabe fashionista who is barely holding it together—financially, emotionally, or stylistically. As her Russian father, her brother, her lovable babushka, and Margarita herself face eviction, this budding fashion artist sees one way out: a reality competition with a six-figure cash prize. Win the show, save her babushka’s L.A. apartment. Easy, right? Well, when producers and judges start asking her to turn her personal struggles into content for the show, the line between authenticity and self-exploitation starts to blur. And Margarita will soon have to ask herself how much dignity she’s willing to trade for a shot at stardom and stability.
Written and directed by first-time feature filmmaker Nastasya Popov, and also starring Camila Mendes as a reality show producer, with Mark Ivanir, Galina Jovovich, and Nerses Stamos as Margarita’s Russian family—alongside real-life fashion fixture Julia Fox as one of the judges—the film sets out to skewer fashion reality competition shows like Project Runway and others of that ilk. It also aims to get to the heart of who really benefits when the American Dream is packaged as entertainment.
Idiotka is set to open in select cities through February and March, starting in New York theaters on February 5th, followed by a Los Angeles release on March 5th.

Built from rare archival footage and studio outtakes, the doc digs into the tension between faith, fame, and identity—revealing a lifelong search for love and acceptance that success alone could never resolve.

With Olga Kurylenko as the doctor who questions whether grief and PTSD are fueling her fears about her next-door neighbor, paranoia tightens its grip—the question isn’t whether she’s seeing things, but whether she’s already crossed a line she can’t uncross. Sometimes trauma has a way of muddying perception, whether we like it or not.

Directed by Daniel Alexander and inspired by L. Frank Baum’s classic tale, this dark fantasy horror reconceptualizes Oz as a curse passed through generations, where escape means confronting what really waits at the end of the yellow brick road.
Impressive roundup. The Tuner premise is genuinely clever, turning perfect pitch into a criminal skill feels way more grounded than most heist film gimmicks. Reminds me of actual safecracking history where audiophiles could hear tumblers clicking and use that to crack codes. The whole medical bills pressuring someone into crime is solid motivation too, much more believable tahn generic greed.
