🎥 NEW MOVIE TRAILERS:
This is the way ... to the Big Screen!
🎥 The Mandalorian and Grogu — Trailer
(in theaters May 22nd, 2026)
Pedro Pascal returns as Din Djarin alongside Grogu, with Sigourney Weaver joining the galaxy as a New Republic colonel in Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni’s new Star Wars adventure. The first trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu reminds us that not every Star Wars story has to be politically charged. It can also be a pulpy space western filled with dusty cantinas, starship shootouts, and a tiny green co-pilot stealing every scene.
This time, Mando and Grogu are hired to hunt down Imperial warlords in the lawless aftermath of Return of the Jedi, while Sigourney Weaver’s Rebel-turned-Ranger keeps them on mission. Oh, and Jeremy Allen White voices Jabba’s heir, Rotta the Hutt, because why not?
With Favreau back behind the camera and Filoni on lore patrol, this one looks primed to deliver old-school Star Wars thrills with just enough new blood to keep the galaxy spinning. Grab your popcorn (and maybe a shiny orb or two for Grogu)—space western season is back. Hitting theaters May 22, 2026.
Never bet against James Cameron.
🎥 Avatar: Fire and Ash — New Trailer
(in theaters Dec 19th)
While some Star Wars fans grumble that The Mandalorian and Grogu looks more small-screen than silver-screen, Cameron’s Avatar saga proves he still thinks on a cosmic scale. Love it or loathe it, his films never shy away from spectacle, stuffing every frame with world-building so massive it practically bursts off the screen.
The newly released trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash teases just that: an epic showdown between the Na’vi and humanity’s war machine, with Sam Worthington’s Jake Sully and Zoe Saldaña’s Neytiri caught between family and rebellion. Enter Oona Chaplin’s Varang, leader of a volcanic Na’vi clan whose shaken faith makes her ripe for Colonel Quaritch’s manipulation—setting the stage for a civil war that could burn Pandora from within.
With fire replacing water, betrayal joining vengeance, and volcanoes lighting up the battlefield, Cameron once again dares to make theaters feel too small for his vision. Also starring Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet, Stephen Lang, and a sprawling ensemble, Avatar: Fire and Ash explodes into theaters December 19th.
It’s alive… and running wild through 1930s Chicago!
🎥 The Bride! — Teaser Trailer
(in theaters Mar 6th, 2026)
Maggie Gyllenhaal reanimates Mary Shelley’s monster with The Bride!, a noir-soaked, Prohibition-era riff on the classic tale starring Christian Bale as a lonely, lumbering Frankenstein and Jessie Buckley as his feral, glamorous Bride. Think Bonnie and Clyde, but stitched together with bolts and bad intentions.
From smoke-filled alleys to blood-soaked dance halls, the film promises murder sprees, feverish love affairs, and a monster romance that’s equal parts grotesque and intoxicating. Buckley channels Clara Bow with a splash of Harley Quinn chaos, while Bale grunts and lurches like a bruiser who’s one heartbreak away from total meltdown. With Annette Bening, Peter Sarsgaard, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Penélope Cruz rounding out the cast, this looks like one electrifying spin on the Frankenstein myth. Arriving in theaters March 6th, 2026.
Something wicked this way ends!
🎥 Wicked: For Good — Final Trailer
(in theaters Nov 21st)
The final trailer for Wicked: For Good teases the epic conclusion of Jon M. Chu’s two-part musical saga, with Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba and Ariana Grande’s Glinda at the heart of Oz’s political storm. Their once-unbreakable bond is strained as propaganda, fear, and the Wizard’s smoke-and-mirrors politics pit friend against friend, outsider against insider.
With Jeff Goldblum’s Wizard scheming, Michelle Yeoh’s Madame Morrible whispering, and a Kansas tornado dropping a new complication right on cue, Oz becomes a battlefield of loyalty, love, and legacy. Jonathan Bailey, Marissa Bode, and Ethan Slater join the swirl of duets and drama, but it’s Erivo and Grande’s showdown that promises to leave audiences spellbound.
Wicked: For Good lands in theaters November 21st. Expect heartbreak, high notes, and possibly a finale worthy of a standing ovation.
The end of the world was just the beginning.
🎥 Greenland 2: Migration — Trailer
(in theaters Jan 9th, 2026)
Gerard Butler is back as John Garrity in Greenland 2: Migration, leading his family out of the bunkers and straight into another apocalyptic challenge. Five years after surviving the comet strike, the Garritys (Morena Baccarin and Roger Dale Floyd return) set their sights on a rumored safe zone in France. But between climate chaos, collapsing shelters, and wastelands ripped apart by disaster, getting there may be even deadlier than the comet itself.
Director Ric Roman Waugh returns to crank up the spectacle with storms, ruins, and survival set pieces that make every step of the journey a fight to stay alive. If the first film was about finding shelter, the sequel is about what happens when shelter becomes a death trap. So, buckle up! This road trip is going straight through the apocalypse. Hitting theaters January 9th, 2026.
Tick... tick... BOOM!
🎥 A House of Dynamite — Trailer
(in select theaters Oct 10th & on Netflix Oct 24th)
Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow returns with A House of Dynamite, a nerve-shredding Netflix thriller where one nuclear missile hurtling toward U.S. soil sets off a real-time scramble that could decide the fate of the world. No one knows who fired it, why it’s coming, or if it’s just the opening shot of a global nuclear war.
With Rebecca Ferguson, Jason Clarke, Jared Harris, Idris Elba as the President, and an ensemble stacked with talent, the film plunges us into war rooms, bunkers, and back-channel negotiations where every second counts and every wrong move could trigger total annihilation. Bigelow’s signature intensity and Noah Oppenheim’s politically charged script promise to detonate more than just nerves.
A House of Dynamite ignites in select theaters October 10th before streaming worldwide on Netflix October 24th.

(on Netflix Oct 9th)
BOOTS marches onto Netflix with a sharp, irreverent twist on the coming-of-age story, following Cameron (Miles Heizer), an aimless teen who enlists in the Marines on a whim with his best friend Ray (Liam Oh). What he finds at boot camp isn’t just grueling drills and drill-sergeant screams, but unexpected camaraderie, painful self-discovery, and the awkward truth of being a closeted gay recruit in the “don’t ask, don’t tell” era of 1990.
With Vera Farmiga as Cameron’s self-absorbed mom and a 1990s soundtrack fueling the chaos, this dramedy—based on Greg Cope White’s memoir The Pink Marine—blends humor, heart, and a boot’s-eye view of finding purpose in the unlikeliest place.
