Directed by Jared Hess, the highly awaited fantasy adventure-comedy A Minecraft Movie, starring Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, and others, has finally arrived. As the name suggests, the movie is based on the video game Minecraft by Mojang Studios, which came out in 2011 and is known as one of the most popular and successful video games worldwide.

A Minecraft Movie had its world premiere in London on March 30, 2025, and upon release, it received mixed reviews. The performances of the actors received praise from critics and audiences, but some of them were divided when it came to the storyline and faithfulness to the source material in the movie. Despite mixed reviews, A Minecraft Movie has set an impressive record.

Jason Momoa has done it all. His breakout role came with the role of Khal Drogo in the HBO hit series Game of Thrones, which propelled him into superstardom, with several action, comedy, and superhero roles to follow, including the leading role as Aquaman.

Momoa has proven to be a bankable movie star, and his roles have led to over $4.5 billion at the worldwide box office (via The Numbers). His projects haven't always been a hit with the critics, but he has always drawn people to the theaters. With the surprising success of the critically panned A Minecraft Movie, Jason Momoa continued an exciting Rotten Tomatoes trend for the audience scores.

Following the release of A Minecraft Movie, the video game adaptation continued Momoa's positive trend for audience scores that has been going on since 2021. Since then, all of Momoa's titles have been a hit with the audience, although they...

Jason Statham may be known more for his action and less for his performances, but the Working Man star may have more to give in this later stage of his career. Statham recently worked with director David Ayer for The Beekeeper, the action thriller that grossed over $160 million globally before premiering on Prime Video and becoming a streaming hit in 2024. A sequel to the film is already set to begin filming later this year, but Ayer will not return and will be replaced by Timo Tjahjanto. Ayer is set to reunite with Statham on A Working Man later this month, and Collider’s Steve Weintraub recently caught up with the director on the press circuit where he shared his praise not for the legendary action star’s fists but for his “underutilized” performances:

“When he's surrounded by really powerful actors like Michael Peña and Arianna Rivas, who is just an incredible discovery,...

Fast and Furious franchise lead actor Vin Diesel hopes to push the action-packed film series past the finish line in style as he continues work on Fast X: Part 2. Diesel's main character, Dominic Toretto, returns to the garage in new Part 2 behind-the-scenes images.

Via his Instagram page, Diesel shared multiple teasers over the past two days showing Toretto and his famous garage as he and his family look set to tune up new and vintage vehicles in Part 2. The first image shows the front of the Toretto garage with his patented 1970 Dodge Charger R/T parked outside, claiming that he "can't wait to show you the horsepower of what's cooking up." The second sees Diesel sporting his character's shirt plugging the garage, with the motto, "Heart, Family, Legacy."

Fast fam, a lot is brewing for the upcoming Fast X: Part 2. The highly anticipated feature in the franchise will be the beginning of the end of the road for the long-running franchise and the Toretto family. It seems like Vin Diesel is leaving no stones unturned to dish out a full dose of nostalgia as he keeps posting new behind-the-scenes details to keep the fans updated.

In a new Instagram post, the actor is seen donning a Toretto’s Garage t-shirt that elaborates on the themes of the franchise with words, heart, legacy, and family. The caption doesn’t give away anything as Diesel wrote, “Grateful and blessed…” which he always is when it comes to the Fast & Furious franchise. However, it is to be noted that he previously shared a behind-the-scenes image of his first car from 2001’s The Fast and the Furious movie, so it...

Two YouTube channels, which specialise in making fake, AI-generated trailers of major films, have just lost their ad revenue.

The experience of searching for trailers on YouTube could be about to change, as YouTube is said to have turned off monetisation for two of the platform’s major accounts. Collectively, the channels Screen Culture and Kh Studio have a subscriber base of 2m users, and have long specialised in uploading fake trailers for popular movies and TV shows.

Over the past day, Screen Culture uploaded a supposed ‘release trailer’ for A Minecraft Movie, which mixes genuine footage with AI-generated material. Similarly, Kh Studio recently uploaded a trailer for 'Fast X: Part 2’ which blends sequences from Fast X, shots from Jason Statham’s The Beekeeper and generative AI imagery. Both have already notched up hundreds of thousands of views.

Vin Diesel has been asked to direct a "precursor" to ‘Fast X: Part 2’.The 57-year-old actor - who has portrayed Dominic 'Dom' Toretto in the ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise since its debut in 2001 - previously helmed the short film ‘Los Bandoleros’ to fill in the gaps for his character between the events of the first movie and 2009’s ‘Fast and Furious’ and has now revealed he has once again been asked by Universal Pictures to helm a prequel set before the events of the eleventh and final entry into the high-speed action series.Taking to Instagram, Diesel posted a picture of himself in character as Dom and his co-star Michelle Rodriguez as Leticia 'Letty' Ortiz and added the caption: "I am reminded of that critical moment in the 'Fast' franchise, where we had just wrapped the fourth film… "The studio asked me to direct the precursor to the film,...

Fast X: Part 2 concludes a decades-long Fast & Furious saga that has taken fans on several twists and turns, some more outlandish than others. Before the Vin Diesel-led action franchise runs its final lap, the acclaimed actor is set to steer fans through one last tease.

Via Instagram, Diesel confirmed he's directing a "precursor" to Part 2, further ramping up anticipation for the Fast & Furious finale. Though Diesel kept details about the short close to the vest, he teased that the short would be filmed in an "exotic" location. Having done a short in the lead up to 2009's Fast & Furious at the behest of Universal Pictures, Diesel confirmed that "the request has come in again for me to direct the precursor, to the finale. Because it is now the world's saga, I am encouraged to film somewhere else, truly exotic…"

The Fast and Furious franchise has taken more twists and turns than perhaps any other series, and now we can add another to the mix, as ahead of the 2026 release of Fast X: Part 2, star Vin Diesel is teasing a possible "precursor" to the finale. Beginning in 2001, the Fast and Furious saga has stretched across a multitude of mediums, including feature films, spin-offs, TV shows, video games, and short films.

Taking to his Instagram account, Diesel references one of those short films in a new post that hints there's another chapter in the long-running series to go before we get to the grand finale next year. Fans will recall that 2009's Los Bandoleros – which Diesel directed – was included as part of the Blu-ray special features on Fast & Furious (a.k.a. Fast and Furious 4) and helped fill in the gaps between the first and fourth movies. Now...

DC fans everywhere are eager to see the first look at Jason Momoa as Lobo, but we're going to have to wait a while. After playing Aquaman in the Dceu, brought to life by Zack Snyder, Momoa will finally have the chance to suit up as his dream character in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow opposite Milly Alcock’s Kryptonian hero. Momoa was tapped to the role of Lobo, and although the 2026 tentpole is well over halfway through filming, there has still been no official look at Momoa’s Lobo released to the public. During a recent interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub to promote his upcoming Minecraft movie with Jack Black, Momoa played coy and declined to share a photo of himself as Lobo that is on his phone, but not for lack of desire:

"I wish I could show you the picture on my phone right now."

At the start of 2025, Vin Diesel hyped up production for Fast X: Part 2 on social media by unveiling Dominic Toretto’s classic 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 from 2001’s The Fast and the Furious. The car was famously destroyed by a truck in the original blockbuster hit’s finale involving a final race with Brian O’Connor (Paul Walker). Teasing how "history is being made," the car’s reintroduction by Diesel may well be a sign about the next Fast installment potentially dialing back the outrageous espionage adventures in favor of providing fans a full-circle moment for the long-running franchise.

Gal Gadot switches from a beloved DC hero to a reviled Disney villain thanks to her antagonist role in the anticipated Snow White remake. Though being a baddie is new territory for the acclaimed actor, she insists she had the appetite for the "delicious" role of the Evil Queen in the live-action adaptation from the beginning.

Speaking with Variety before her induction into the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Gadot shared her thoughts on playing Evil Queen, the tyrannical and envious stepmother of Rachel Zegler's Snow White. The reinterpration of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs not only sees Gadot portray a villain, but sing on-screen for the first time while doing so, challenges she embraced during production. “It was different than anything that I’ve ever done because I was playing the villain,” she said. “She’s so theatrical and so grand and bigger than life … it was a delicious role to play.

Exclusive: Sung Kang, best known for his role as the popular ‘Han Lue’ in Universal’s billion-dollar Fast & Furious franchise, has signed with Buchwald for representation.

Kang most recently reprised his role in Fast X, continuing his journey which began on Justin Lin’s The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift when Han was believed to have died. He has reprised the role in the long-running action saga appearing in multiple installments, including Fast Five, Fast & Furious 6, and F9. The final installment of the franchise is expected to be Fast X: Part 2 which is set in Los Angeles. Kang’s participation in the film has yet to be confirmed.

It’s been almost two years since Vin Diesel and his family were last seen on screen in Fast X, and while it has been confirmed that one more installment is coming to close out the saga, its road to theaters has been long and winding. Still lacking an official release date, Fast X: Part 2 has yet to enter production, but Diesel just took to his personal Instagram to drop a major update on the future of the franchise. Diesel revealed that Fast X: Part 2 will finally begin filming this summer in Los Angeles, and while he doesn’t mention anything about a potential release date, its most likely window will certainly come in the latter half of 2026, if not even early in 2027.

Vin Diesel has suggested that he may return as Groot in a new Marvel project separate from the Guardians of the Galaxy series. The actor shared the update in an Instagram post outlining his schedule for 2025.

Diesel voiced Groot for 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy and reprised the role in 2017’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, and 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. The actor also made a cameo in Disney’s Ralph Breaks the Internet, which was released in 2018.

Despite being one of the most profitable franchises in Hollywood, Fast & Furious continues to be a regular subject of tabloid headlines for its ridiculous scandals and controversies. One of the biggest headline-grabbers has been the feud between co-stars Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson, which muddied the waters and made for an entertaining public spectacle until the latter’s return in 2023.

However, before the aforementioned feud between Diesel and The Rock or Tyrese Gibson’s accusations of colorism in Hollywood, a behind-the-scenes incident led to Fast & Furious getting one of its funniest and most beloved characters in the form of Ludacris.

Although Hollywood has never been short of rivalries and some friendly competition, the celebrity culture can always depend on one thing: clashing egos.

While Vin Diesel remains synonymous with his Fast and Furious film series, some of his other action-packed efforts continue to fly under the radar. One such effort is his 2015 fantasy film, The Last Witch Hunter, which is set to call Peacock home very soon.

Peacock confirmed that The Last Witch Hunter will be one of many new movies to grace its platform when it debuts on Mar. 1. The film has largely been available for rent or purchase on various digital platforms, including Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.

Alan Ritchson has found a home on Prime Video as Jack Reacher, but in 2023, he was lured away into the world of the Fast & Furious. Making his debut in Fast X, grabbing attention as Aimes, a formidable Agency player with shifting allegiances, fans quickly latched onto the idea that Ritchson might be back for the (possibly) final chapter of the Dom Toretto saga. It seems that Ritchson is keen for that to happen too with a return in Fast & Furious 11 – or Fast 11, F&F11, Fast XI or whatever else they choose to call it.

While Ritchson’s appearance in Fast X certainly makes it likely that he will be back again in the sequel, the actor recently pointed out in an interview with ScreenRant, that there is a big problem facing the production – namely its big-name cast. He said:

To hype the upcoming film, which is set to begin production sometime early this year, three original stars reunited for a fun Super Bowl ad.

The Fast & Furious saga is soon approaching its finale as the filming for the next film in the franchise, Fast X: Part 2, is going full throttle. Franchise star Vin Diesel always keeps fans in the loop with the latest behind-the-scenes developments, sometimes even dealing a healthy dose of nostalgia. Family and friendship is a long-running theme in the franchise and the final chapter is certainly looking to maximize on as many moments as it can.

The Fast and Furious franchise debuted over two decades ago, and it was initially a street racing film series. Following its immense success at the box office, the films further branched out into different genres like espionage, heists, and conspiracies, but, for the final entry, Fast X: Part Two, they want to go back to basics.

During an interview with Collider to promote her upcoming romantic slasher, Heart Eyes, franchise star Jordana Brewster also addressed the high-octane franchise. The actress, who plays Mia Torreto in the series, made her first appearance in 2001's The Fast and the Furious, and took a break from the series until the fourth film, 2009's Fast & Furious, and has starred in every entry since. However, for the end of the franchise, she wants the series to be "gritty" and return to its roots.

The 11th and purportedly final installment in the “Fast & Furious” franchise will return to L.A., the city where Diesel noted the film series began 25 years ago.

On Instagram, the actor-producer shared he was inspired to bring “Fast & Furious” back to the West Coast in a phone call with longtime co-star Jordana Brewster, who plays the on-screen sister to Diesel’s “Fast” hero Dominic Toretto.

“Last week, during the fires that displaced L.A., my sister Jordana reached out to me and said, ‘Please have Universal film the rest of “Fast X: Part 2″ in LA.

“Last week, during the fires that displaced LA… my sister Jordana reached out to me and said… Please have Universal film the rest of Fast X Part 2 in LA,” Diesel shared on Instagram alongside a photo of him and Brewster.

Despite the ongoing fires in Los Angeles that have caused numerous deaths and billions in property damage, Fast and Furious star Vin Diesel is determined to finish shooting Fast X: Part 2 in the City of Angels. Los Angeles served as the setting for the first film all the way back in 2001, but since then, the franchise has gone global, and visited such locales as Tokyo, England, Azerbaijan, and Berlin.

Taking to Instagram to share his desire to bring Fast X: Part 2 "back home," Diesel posted a photo of himself and fellow co-star Jordana Brewster (seen below), who has portrayed his sister Mia since the series' inception more than two decades ago. In the caption that accompanied the picture, he said it was Brewster who opened his eyes to bringing the franchise back to where it all started, and now he's as determined as ever to make that happen.

Vin Diesel recently announced that the final scenes of Fast X: Part 2 will be filmed in Los Angeles, marking a return to the city where the franchise first began 25 years ago. On social media, Diesel said the move is a way to support the city’s economy, which has been struggling after massive wildfires caused widespread damage.

Jordana Brewster, Diesel’s co-star in the franchise, urged him to push Universal to relocate the production to LA. According to Diesel, she emphasized that the city ‘needs it now more than ever.’ Universal has not yet commented on the decision.

The first Fast and Furious movie focused on LA’s street racing culture, but over the years, the series has expanded to shoot in locations like Tokyo, Rio, London, and Havana. Now, with wildfires continuing to cause destruction in Los Angeles, the decision to return feels particularly meaningful.

Not every action movie can be Fast and Furious – something which star Tyrese Gibson discovered with his 2022 action thriller. While it was maligned upon release, The System has now found success on free streaming, topping the Tubi charts and taking the #1 spot from the likes of The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Jason Statham’s Mechanic: Resurrection.

Written and directed by Dallas Jackson, The System stars Tyrese Gibson alongside Terrence Howard (Iron Man), Jeremy Piven (Entourage), and Lil Yachty and follows a former Marine who, after being forced into a desperate situation, finds himself at the center of a drug deal gone wrong and going undercover in one of the most dangerous prisons in the world. If that doesn’t already sound thrilling enough, we haven’t told you about the underground fight club yet.

If there is one thing more ridiculous than the over-the-top action of the Fast and Furious franchise, it's the beef between Vin Diesel and one of his co-stars. The actor, who is best known for playing Dominic Toretto in the Fast and Furious films, has also been known to be incredibly vocal with random and sometimes cryptic posts on social media. Now, the actor's recent Instagram post seems to indicate that the long-standing unspoken feud between him and his co-star Dwayne Johnson has come to an end. For real, this time.

After an awkward acknowledgment of Johnson at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, some were uncertain whether the disagreements between the two actors had really been settled. Now, a new Instagram post from Diesel, which is a photo of him and Johnson smiling together, with the caption “All love…always” has helped to quell any suggestions that the two actors have any problems with one another.

Any lingering tension between Fast & Furious stars Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson seems to be a thing of the past for the former despite their undeniably awkward exchange at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards. Diesel's first social media message since their viral encounter at the ceremony insists there's nothing but "love" between them.

Via his Instagram page, Diesel seemingly addressed the exchange with Johnson at the Golden Globes by posting a picture of himself and his Fast & Furious castmate smiling from a past event. Diesel kept his caption short but sweet, insisting it is "All love...always..." between himself and the wrestler-turned-actor.
