Exclusive: Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+ is adding Lili Taylor to its Season 2 cast in a recurring role, Deadline has learned.

No one would comment but I hear she would play a political foe for Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk. Taylor joins fellow new Season 2 cast addition Matthew Lillard who also is set to recur. Filming on the new season is currently underway in New York.

A continuation of the Daredevil series that aired on Netflix from 2015 to 2018, Born Again picks up with our hero Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a blind lawyer with heightened abilities, amid a continued fight for justice through his bustling law firm. At the same time, former mob boss Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) pursues his own political endeavors in New York. When their past identities begin to emerge, both men find themselves on an inevitable collision course.

In addition to Cox and D’Onofrio,...

One of the major things we learned about Mikey Madison from her Oscar-winning performance in Sean Baker's Anora is that the girl can scream. Well. And loudly. It's an effective skill to have, particularly if you're considering joining a reboot of one of the most beloved horror franchises of all time. Which is apparently what is currently happening, if new Resident Evil rumors are to be believed.

That's right: according to a new report from World of Reel, the Better Things and Once Upon A Time in Hollywood actress has been offered the lead part in Barbarian writer/director Zach Cregger's reboot of Resident Evil. Madison, if she accepts this purportedly offered role, would star opposite the already-cast Austin Abrams (perhaps best known for his roles in Euphoria and The Walking Dead). According to World of Reel, Cregger's reboot is "rumored to follow a hapless courier (Abrams) tasked...

Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water, Josh Brolin is in talks to star opposite Austin Abrams (Wolfs) in the Brian Duffield-directed adaptation of the Daniel Krauss novel Whalefall.

Described as The Martian meets 127 Hours, the scientifically accurate story focuses on a scuba diver searching for his deceased father’s remains, only to get swallowed by an eighty-foot, sixty-ton sperm whale with only one hour to escape before oxygen runs out. While struggling to survive, the young diver discovers a new reason to live in the most unlikely place.

Here’s a synopsis for Krauss’s novel courtesy of Amazon:

Jay Gardiner has given himself a fool’s errand—to find the remains of his deceased father in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Monastery Beach. He knows it’s a long shot, but Jay feels it’s the only way for...

Austin Abrams was previously confirmed to lead 20th Century’s feature adaptation of Daniel Kraus’ novel Whalefall. Deadline reports today that Dune actor Josh Brolin is in talks to co-star.

Brian Duffield is directing the project, described as The Martian meets 127 Hours, with Duffield and Kraus co-writing the script.

The storyline follows “a scuba diver in search of his deceased father’s remains who gets swallowed by an 80-foot, 60-ton sperm whale and has only one hour to escape before his oxygen runs out. It’s a tale about a young man who has given up on life — only to find a reason to live in the most dangerous and unlikely of places.”

While the potential casting news doesn’t disclose any details about the role that Brolin would be filling, it’s likely that he’ll play Mitt Gardiner, the father of lead protagonist Jay Gardiner. While Kraus...

Let’s call it like it is. The announcement for the cast and characters in Avengers: Doomsday was the biggest comic book news of the year. Marvel Studios spent five-plus hours showing us set chairs and millions of peope tuned in on the internet - that's something else. Thankfully, it was worth it because 27 incredible actors were announced for the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film, including some major surprises (tap here for the entire list). However, a lot of people were left off the list.

Among the surprising omissions were the likes of Death (played by Aubrey Plaza), Norman Osborn (Willem Dafoe), or anyone from the Tva other than Loki. The good news is that this list of 27 names is probably the first of the many casting announcements to be released. We also have to remember that some names will be redacted to add a surprise for viewers when they see Avengers: Doomsday.

Josh Brolin is in negotiations to join Austin Abrams in 20th Century’s adaptation of the Daniel Kraus novel Whalefall, with Brian Duffield directing. Duffield will co-write the script with Kraus.

The film is described as The Martian meets 127 Hours, centering on a scuba diver in search of his deceased father’s remains who gets swallowed by an 80-foot, 60-ton sperm whale and has only one hour to escape before his oxygen runs out. After giving up on life, the young man is surprised to find a reason to live in the most dangerous and unlikely of places.

Imagine Entertainment’s Brian Grazer, Jeb Brody and Allan Mandelbaum are producing. Mandelbaum brought the book into Imagine and previously produced Duffield’s No One Will Save You (for 20th Century Studios). Duffield will also produce.

Richard Abate and Will Rowbotham of 3 Arts Entertainment will exec produce with J.R. Young overseeing for the studio.

We’re still a year away from the next Avengers team-up, but the movie is quickly coming together.

With a major cast reveal announcing the start of production on the film, Marvel fans are excited to get back to event films from the franchise. But it’s been a long road to get here, and as we mentioned, we still have a ways to go; it can be hard keeping all the details of the film sorted in your memory.

So, we’ve gone ahead and rounded them up in one place so you don’t have to! Here’s everything we know so far about “Avengers: Doomsday.”

When does “Avengers: Doomsday” come out?

“Avengers: Doomsday” is currently set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026.

Who’s in the cast?

Marvel stunned audiences with its first cast reveal back at San Diego Comic-Con in 2024, announcing Robert Downey Jr.’s return to...

Acclaimed actor Jonathan Majors secures another leading role as his Hollywood comeback efforts gather steam. Majors is the new face of the upcoming action thriller, True Threat.

According to Deadline, Majors is attached to star in True Threat, directed by Fruitvale Station producer and The First Purge director Gerard McMurray. This is the second leading role Majors has earned since his conviction on assault and harassment charges stemming from a 2023 domestic incident, having landed the top part in Martin Villeneuve's revenge thriller, Merciless.

True Threat sees former Marvel star Majors portray Vernon Threat, a Special Forces operative who relentlessly pursues justice after his teenage son is murdered by the Harlem-based gang, The Apollo Kids. During his vengeance-filled journey, Threat infiltrates The Carter, a 20-story project that houses The Apollo Kids, battling his way to the top threat to confront that gang's leader and his mentor, "Shallow." The film combines "gripping action mes of fatherhood,...

The Marvel train just keeps chugging along. The buzzy news of the day concerns the seemingly never-ending casting announcement for "Avengers: Doomsday," which is adding one A-lister after another at a glacially slow pace. But while the vast majority of the reveals were pretty much to be expected, one addition was bound to catch fans by surprise.

That's right, folks: None other than Loki himself, played by Tom Hiddleston, will apparently be back to his mischievous ways in "Doomsday." On paper, this makes perfect sense. Of course the most popular villain in all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe wouldn't miss out on the biggest and most anticipated team-up film in franchise history.

But for those who've been following along with all the various movies and shows to this point, well, it raises some pretty wild questions about how, exactly, our favorite God of Mischief could possibly be back at all.

The Avengers have assembled once again. Marvel slowly revealed the full cast of “Avengers: Doomsday” in a livestream that began Wednesday morning.

Among the returning cast members are Chris Hemsworth as Thor; Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, who debuted as Captain America in last month’s “Brave New World”; his co-star Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres, the new Falcon; Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier; Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man; Tom Hiddleston as Loki; Letitia Wright as Shuri, who took over the Black Panther mantle in “Wakanda Forever,” and her co-star Winston Duke as M’Baku. As previously announced, Robert Downey Jr. will be back as the villain Doctor Doom instead of Iron Man.

The biggest surprises were several returning “X-Men” stars for “Avengers: Doomsday.” The mutant cast includes Patrick Stewart,...

Barbarian (watch it Here) writer/director Zach Cregger has assembled a strong cast for his mysterious horror project called Weapons, including Julia Garner (Ozark), Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men), Alden Ehrenreich (Solo), Benedict Wong (Doctor Strange), Amy Madigan (Antlers), Austin Abrams (Euphoria), June Diane Raphael (Grace and Frankie), and Cary Christopher (Days of Our Lives)… and we’re going to have the chance to see that cast face the horrors Cregger has conjured up when Weapons reaches theatres on August 8th. With that date not far off, the Motion Picture Association’s ratings board has had their screening and have decided to give the film an R rating! Weapons has been rated R for strong bloody violence and grisly images, language throughout, some sexual content and drug use.

Most details about Weapons are shrouded in mystery. It has been said that it’s “an interrelated, multistory horror epic...

Described as something of a horror epic and compared to Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia, the upcoming Weapons from director Zach Cregger (Barbarian) is one of the most intriguing new horror releases here in 2025, in large part because we really know nothing about the film at this time. But today brings some new information in the form of an MPA rating.

New Line Cinema’s Weapons has been rated “R” this week for: “Strong bloody violence and grisly images, language throughout, some sexual content and drug use.”

New Line will release Weapons in theaters August 8, 2025.

The cast for the horror film includes Josh Brolin (Dune 2), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), Alden Ehrenreich (Cocaine Bear), Benedict Wong (3 Body Problem), Amy Madigan (Antlers), Austin Abrams (Euphoria), and Cary Christopher (Days of Our Lives).

The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing...

One of the more funnier fan theories that had been making the rounds during the last two “Avengers” films was that Paul Rudd‘s Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man could use his powers to shrink small enough to crawl up the butt of Thanos (played by Josh Brolin) and kill him by simply expanding himself to a giant-sized version, exploding the alien Titan into pieces.

Continue reading Paul Rudd Muses On Hilarious Ant-Man Vs. Thanos Fan Theory From ‘Avengers: Endgame’: “Could He Really Have Stopped Thanos In That Way?” at The Playlist.

Actors often have specific conditions to star in films — especially projects as big as a Marvel movie. Josh Brolin has made it clear that he won't reprise Thanos unless it makes sense to bring the Mad Titan back into the story. Chris Hemsworth only returned for "Thor: Love and Thunder" because director Taika Waititi was coming back as well.

Sometimes, the stipulations begin before a well-known actor has even taken a comic book-level gig. Case in point: Adrien Brody. The actor already has a strong track record across other genres. Over two decades ago, he starred in "The Pianist" (which remains the best music biopic of all time) and was still winning Oscars for his role as visionary postwar architect Lásló Tóth in "The Brutalist" within weeks of this writing. Yet, despite minor appearances in fantasy films like "King Kong," he has never actually landed a role in a straight-up superhero film.

If there's one thing that audiences can't get enough of, it's a pulse-pounding survival thriller that will have them on the edge of their seats up until the credits roll. In 2015, Jake Gyllenhaal and Jason Clarke teamed up to star in the haunting biographical film Everest, which tells the harrowing true story of the 1996 Mount Everest disaster that tragically claimed the lives of eight climbers. The unnerving picture chronicles the survival efforts of two expedition groups as they fight to make it off the mountain after a brutal blizzard strikes, forcing them to contend with harsh and unforgiving weather conditions.

Everest became both a critical and commercial success, captivating audiences with its gripping premise and deeply haunting cinematography as well as its powerhouse performances by its stacked ensemble cast, with moviegoers being left emotionally drained by the devastating events depicted in the thriller. Let's explore the true story behind the...

Directing duo Joel and Ethan Coen's modern classic No Country for Old Men is finding a new streaming home. The 2007 film has continued to be an influential entry in the thriller and western genres, telling an intense and dark story that explored poignant themes about fate, chance, and the seeming loss of morality in the modern-day frontier. Featuring a stellar cast with the likes of Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Tommy Lee Jones, and Woody Harrelson, No Country for Old Men is a truly riveting picture, and while it is currently available to stream on FuboTV and MGM+, the film will have a new streaming home starting next month.

No Country for Old Men will be available to stream on Peacock starting on Apr. 1, as it joins a vast catalog of other critically acclaimed films. On its initial release, the film was distributed by Miramax Films in the United States...

Carrie Coon is a gift. Ever since she made her Broadway debut as Honey in the 2010 revival of Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," she's been one of the most sought-after actors for the kinds of roles that are reserved for performers who have that extra oomph factor. It's an ineffable quality. You just know it when you see it, and Coon possesses it in spades. She was transcendent on television as the grieving Nora Durst in "The Leftovers," the dogged sheriff Gloria Burgle in "Fargo" season 3, and would-be New York City socialite Bertha Russell in "The Gilded Age," and has also been sensational in movies like "Gone Girl," "His Three Daughters," and "Lake George." Coon is both an invigoratingly versatile actor and an arresting presence regardless of her character's demeanor.

When Coon was cast for the third season of Mike White's acerbic actors' showcase "The White Lotus,...

Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan is on a hot streak of late, with his neo-Western drama hit having helped the writer, director, and producer carve out a genre all his own. However, despite his recent smash hits, not everything Sheridan has crafted has been as successful, as this divisive action crime thriller, which is headed to Netflix, proves.

Released back in 2018, Sicario: Day Of The Soldado sees Stefano Sollima take over directing duties from the first movie’s Denis Villeneuve and picks up following the events of 2015’s Academy Award-nominated Sicario. Starring Benicio del Toro, Josh Brolin, Jeffrey Donovan, and Raoul Trujillo, all of whom reprise their roles from the first outing, with Isabela Moner, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Catherine Keener joining the cast, Sicario: Day of the Soldado will be available to stream on Netflix from April 1. You can check out the official synopsis below.

The highly-anticipated reboot of Resident Evil from Barbarian director Zach Cregger may have its lead actor, and he's already well-versed in the realm of zombies and horror. Deadline reports that Austin Abrams is in early talks to join the Resident Evil cast. No word on what role he'll be playing, if it will be an established character in the franchise or a new invention from Cregger and co-screenwriter Shay Hatten.

In addition to appearing in Wolfs with Brad Pitt and George Clooney and starring in Euphoria as Ethan Lewis, Abrams played Ron Anderson in nine episodes of The Walking Dead's fifth and sixth seasons. The complex young character became an antagonist for Rick Grimes and his gang during their time in the Alexandria Safe Zone. Abrams also appeared in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, so his horror credits are already robust.

Plot details surrounding the new Resident Evil movie,...

Avengers: Doomsday is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, introducing a new and morally complex villain— Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr. In a recent interview, the Russo Brothers shared exciting insights into how Downey’s portrayal of the iconic character will unfold.

Downey’s take on the iconic villain is expected to bring a role that has long been associated with evil and tyranny. However, the Russo Brothers’ comments make it clear that this Doctor Doom won’t be your typical villain. His motivations may surprise audiences in ways that draw parallels to another infamous MCU antagonist, Thanos.

The Coen Brothers' Oscar-winning western, No Country for Old Men, heads to a new streaming home starting April 1.

No Country for Old Men, which earned the legendary Coen Brothers their first Best Picture Oscar, will be available to stream on Peacock on April 1. Based on the novel of the same name by Corman McCarthy, No Country for Old Men follows Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin), a hunter who stumbles upon a drug deal gone wrong in and two million dollars enclosed in a briefcase in the Texas desert. After deciding to take the briefcase for himself, Llewelyn becomes ensnared in a deadly game of cat and mouse with a sociopathic hitman named Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), a ruthless killer who is tasked with bringing back the money by any means necessary.

In addition to Brolin and Bardem, No Country for Old Men also stars Tommy Lee Jones, Woody Harrelson, Kelly Macdonald,...

Zach Cregger is planning to start shooting his Resident Evil reboot this summer in Europe, and he’s considering Austin Abrams of Euphoria as a potential star. The actor is said to be in early talks to lead the reboot, and this would be something of a reunion as Abrams is part of the cast of Weapons, Cregger’s highly anticipated follow-up to Barbarian.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but the film is said to have “elements of a wilderness survival thriller.” Cregger co-wrote the script with Shay Hatten (John Wick: Chapter 4). In a statement, Cregger said, “I’ve been a rabid fan of these games for decades and to be able to bring this amazing title to life is a true honor.” The Resident Evil reboot has already been slated for a September 18, 2026 release.

In addition to Euphoria, Abrams is known for his work on The Walking Dead,...

Euphoria actor Austin Abrams has emerged as the choice to star in Sony Pictures’ and Zach Cregger’s reboot of horror action movie Resident Evil.

Cregger, the filmmaker who became part of the horror genre’s new generation thanks for his breakout Barbarian, wrote the script and is directing the feature.

He is readying for the release his follow-up to Barbarian, an ensemble horror piece titled Weapons. Abrams makes up part of the cast, which includes Josh Brolin and Julia Garner. Resident Evil would mark a reunion between the two, should any deal make.

Sony is moving fast on Resident Evil and a summer shoot in Europe is being planned. Cregger is said to already be scouting.

Constantin Film is producing and co-financing the film. Constantin’s Robert Kulzer, Vertigo Entertainment’s Roy Lee (Barbarian,) and Miri Yoon (Weapons) as well as PlayStation Productions are also producing.

Big news might be brewing for the next ‘Resident Evil’ film. Word on the street is that Austin Abrams, a familiar face from ‘Euphoria’ and ‘Wolfs,’ is chatting with Sony about taking the starring role in their upcoming reboot. This juicy tidbit comes from industry insider DanielRPK, but it’s still just a rumor, so we’re keeping our excitement in check for now.

Zach Cregger, the guy who creeped us out with ‘Barbarian,’ is steering this new take on the zombie-filled franchise. Sony snagged the project after a heated bidding war, and they’ve already locked in a release date—September 18, 2026.

Cregger’s not just directing; he’s also co-writing the script with Shay Hatten, known for action-packed stuff like ‘John Wick: Chapter 3.’ The plan is to bring the series back to its horror roots, leaning into what made the original Capcom video games so spooky.

Abrams, at 28, has...

A star-studded firefighting biopic that will celebrate its 10th anniversary in two years is climbing streaming charts after grossing only $26 million at the box office. Only the Brave, which stars Josh Brolin and Miles Teller, recently left Starz and began streaming on Paramount+, and the film has found success on the platform, sitting at #6 at the time of writing. Only the Brave tells the story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a group of elite firefighters who sacrifice everything to protect their town from a historic wildfire. In addition to Brolin and Teller, Only the Brave also stars Jeff Bridges, Jennifer Connelly, and Taylor Kitsch, and the film earned scores of 87% from critics and 91% from general audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.

Update: the first teaser has arrived ahead of a full trailer next week. See it and find the original story below.

A major summer release for Paul Thomas Anderson’s next feature was too good to be true. Warner Bros. has now delayed the film, his Vineland-inspired action/crime/comedy One Battle After Another, from an August 8, 2025 release to a September 26, 2025 bow, a similar timeframe that Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis occupied last year.

According to The Wrap, the film will still receive an IMAX release, including select theaters with 70mm along with a special release on VistaVision, a format recently used by Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist. The shift will reportedly “give the studio more time to prepare VistaVision prints and projectors for the release.”

In Hollywood there are roles that are forever assigned to the actor bringing them on the big screens. The same was true for actor Samuel L. Jackson, whose portrayal of Nick Fury in the MCU became one of the most iconic characters in modern cinema. But the actor’s take on the no-nonsense S.H.I.E.L.D. director was actually inspired by his long-time friend Bruce Willis.

The duo have collaborated together in many movies, and in an interview, L. Jackson credited Willis for an advice that changed his approach to playing Fury. Let’s dive deeper to understand what that advice was and how it changed the actor’s career trajectory.

The Hollywood secret that Bruce Willis shared with Samuel L. Jackson

Samuel L. Jackson has been a part of a plethora of projects in Hollywood.

Warner Bros. has shifted its upcoming release rescheduling, resulting in new dates for three highly-anticipated genre titles.

Weapons, Zach Cregger‘s follow-up to Barbarian, has been bumped up to August 8, 2025. Previously scheduled for January 16 of next year, the summer release shows the studio’s confidence in the project.

Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Benedict Wong, Austin Abrams, Amy Madigan, and June Diane Raphael star in the horror epic about a small community after a group of kids mysteriously disappear overnight.

Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride!, originally due out on September 26, 2025, has been pushed to March 6, 2026; a time frame that WB has found success with big genre projects.

Inspired by Bride of Frankenstein, the monster movie stars Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale, Penélope Cruz, Peter Sarsgaard, and Annette Bening.

Flowervale Street, from It Follows writer-director David Robert Mitchell, has moved from March 13, 2026 to August 14, 2026 in an effort to take advantage of late-summer audiences.

Josh Brolin's upcoming horror movie Weapons has moved up its release date following a reshuffling at Warner Bros. Being moved up suggests that the studio is very confident in the movie, which is directed by Zach Cregger, who previously helmed the hit 2022 horror film Barbarian. The story of Weapons will follow an ensemble who reacts to the mysterious disappearances of multiple children in a small town. In addition to Brolin, the cast of the movie includes Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, and Benedict Wong.

According to Warner Bros., the studio has switched Weapons' release date from January 16, 2026 to August 8, 2025. It has taken the release date that was originally planned for Paul Thomas Anderson's next movie, titled One Battle After Another, which will now release in September. In addition to these moves, Warner Bros. also made several other release date changes, which are as follows:

What This Release Date Change Means For Weapons Warner Bros.

Hans Zimmer hasn’t started to write the music for ‘Dune: Messiah’ yet.The 67-year-old composer wrote the soundtrack for director Denis Villeneuve’s first two sci-fi blockbusters, and while the filmmaker is finishing up the script for ‘Dune: Messiah’, Zimmer is still yet to put pen to paper for the upcoming flick’s score.Talking to Collider, the musician said: “‘Dune: Part Two’ was written before Denis started shooting because we weren't greenlit for the longest time. “Have I started writing [‘Messiah’]? No. Not quite yet. “Oh, god, it's a very complicated one, but I love working with Denis, so I'm actually going to just focus on that, nothing else, and just really spend the time doing it.”In January, Villeneuve admitted he was disappointed Zimmer’s score for ‘Dune: Part Two’ was disqualified from the Best Original Score honour at the 97th Academy Awards.The ‘Sicario’ filmmaker told...

Several major movies have suffered release date delays, including Oscar-winner and Hollywood icon Leonardo DiCaprio’s upcoming mysterious crime thriller. Set to be helmed by Academy Award nominee Paul Thomas Anderson, the project has now been pushed back from August 8 to September 26, while Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Frankenstein musical The Bride! faces an even greater delay, moving from September to March 6, 2026.

But, in some good news, while DiCaprio’s latest venture and The Bride! have been pushed back, Barbarian director Zach Cregger’s upcoming horror epic Weapons starring Josh Brolin and Julia Garner has been pulled forward. Originally set for release in January 2026, Weapons will now take the August 8, 2025, slot left by DiCaprio.

As per a report by Variety, Warner Bros. has likely delayed these tentpole projects “as the studio helps outfit U.S. movie theaters with VistaVision projection systems to accommodate their director’s vision,” insiders claim. It’s also...

Warner Bros. is making some major changes to its release slate ahead of its CinemaCon presentation in two weeks, as five films — including Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “The Bride!” — see shifts on the 2025 and 2026 release schedule.

“One Battle After Another,” a crime thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio, moves from an August 8 release to September 26. The film will still get its planned release on Imax screens — including select theaters with 70mm — and will now also get a special release on VistaVision, the extinct film format recently revived by the Oscar-winning drama “The Brutalist.”

Sources at Warner Bros. say the delay will give the studio more time to prepare VistaVision prints and projectors for the release. The move also situates the film in the more traditional period for awards contenders in the fall.

The film is one of several big, auteur-driven gambles for Warner Bros.

Warner Bros. is getting its ducks in a row before it presents its upcoming slate to theater owners at this year’s CinemaCon, which gets underway March 31 in Las Vegas.

Wednesday evening, the studio announced a number of high-profile changes to its release calendar, led by news that director Maggie Gyllenhaal‘s Frankenstein pic The Bride is relocating from Sept. 26, 2025, to March 6, 2026. The film stars Christian Bale opposite Jessie Buckley. The Bride has had a challenging postproduction period, according to sources, though others deny any challenges and note its post-process has nothing to do with the new date.

The studio says the movie is the sort of event film that will benefit from hitting theaters timed to the beginning of spring holidays and school breaks. This does not preclude the film from being an awards contender despite such an early release date.

In another notable move, the release of Paul Thomas Anderson...

Warner Bros has just made some razor-sharp release-date changes ahead of CinemaCon, ones that could potentially keep the Burbank, CA lot more toward the black this year than in the red.

In a year when there were four $100 million-plus auteur-driven movies — one of which, Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17, recently misfired — Warners Bros distribution has taken the pressure off the studios’ schedule in that regard, and even placed a potential tentpole into the year: Zach Cregger’s anticipated genre movie Weapons on August 8.

Cregger’s next movie after Barbarian was previously scheduled for MLK weekend 2026, on January 16. What kept Warners from moving the pic starring Josh Brolin, Julia Garner and Alden Ehrenreich was that the theatrical release was tied to Imax screens — can’t give up those auditoriums. In fact, what made all of the release-date changes feasible for Warners was that each was tied to Imax bookings. As...

Warner Bros. enacted some significant housekeeping around its film release schedule on Wednesday, including a new date for the highly anticipated Paul Thomas Anderson film starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Now officially titled “One Battle After Another,” the Anderson project is shrouded in mystery but said to be an American crime thriller. Previously dated for Aug. 8, the film will now open nationwide on Sept. 26.

Insiders familiar with the movie said the minor push comes as the studio helps outfit U.S. movie theaters with VistaVision projection systems to accommodate their director’s vision. A move out of August to late September also squeaks “One Battle” out of the summer box office season and places it closer to the awards corridor, Anderson’s natural habitat.. DiCaprio will costar with Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Regina Hall and Teyana Taylor.

Elsewhere on the Warners slate, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “The Bride!” will see a notable...

Warner Bros has confirmed that its Paul Thomas Anderson feature starring Leonardo DiCaprio is called One Battle After Another and pushed it from August onto September 26, bouncing Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride! into March 2026.

This is a better awards season slot than the initial August 8 date, were the studio minded to go down that path and plan to capitalise on strong word of mouth from fall festivals. They have been an occasional entry point for the auteur: of his last five films, Inherent Vice debuted at New York Film Festival in 2014 and before that The Master premiered in Venice in 2012.

From every angle, Denis Villeneuve’s Dune film series is a masterclass in cinema. A heavy understanding of the books first penned by Frank Herbert has allowed a well-written, deeply thought-out screenplay to be penned, while performances from an ensemble cast that includes Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, and Josh Brolin, make those words and scenes come to life. Visually, the development and shots of Arrakis and Giedi Prime make audiences feel like they’ve truly been swept away into another universe. At the beating heart of it all is an unforgettable and goosebump-inducing score composed by two-time Academy Award-winner, Hans Zimmer. The music of Dune carries so much of the story on its shoulders, and — whether it's realized by viewers or not — is constantly informing the audience how to feel from scene to scene.

Mere days after the first season of Yellowstone premiered in 2018, Taylor Sheridan penned the screenplay for a crime thriller that’s becoming a streaming hit nearly seven years later. Sheridan wrote Sicario: Day of the Soldado, which is a direct sequel to 2015’s Sicario, although it only returned Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin and not Emily Blunt and Jon Bernthal. Sicario 2 hit Paramount+ not long ago, and the film wasted no time cracking the top 10, sitting at #4 at the time of writing. Sicario 2 earned scores of 62% from critics and 66% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, which falls well below the 92% and 85% scores of the original. Matthew Modine, Isabela Merced, and Catherine Keener also star in Sicario: Day of the Soldado.

More than 60 years after shows like The Rifleman and Gunsmoke aired on television, westerns and neo-westerns are once again popular amongst audiences. But, with so many options now available on TV and online, it may be difficult to choose which series to watch.

Today’s best westerns (not to be confused with the hotel chain) capture the feel of early entries in the genre while staying relevant by incorporating modern dialogue and sociopolitical topics. This has allowed the genre to reach a wider variety of viewers than it might have otherwise done in the 1950s and ‘60s.

Wynonna Earp Brings Supernatural Elements to the Western Genre 2016-2021, Streaming on Netflix

Far from taking a traditional western approach, Wynonna Earp focuses on a descendant of lawman Wyatt Earp as she faces supernatural foes in her hometown of Purgatory. Another key character is the notorious Doc Holliday, who is played by Schitt’s Creek alum Tim Rozon.

As a child actor, Henry Thomas starred in one of Steven Spielberg’s greatest films. Decades later, he hit a crossroads – spiral into alcoholism and divorce or write his way out. Luckily, he picked up a pen instead of a bottle.

Now, the E.T. star has traded Hollywood scripts for epic fantasy novels, proving his storytelling days were far from over. Spielberg launched his career, but this next chapter was all him.

Some actors fade into Hollywood history. Others evolve. After decades in the industry, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial star Henry Thomas took an unexpected detour – into fantasy writing. Faced with long months on set in Romania, he saw two options.

While Netflix's slick but empty "The Electric State" has added to an already bleak streaming landscape, Jake Gyllenhaal is having nothing short of a streaming renaissance. Gyllenhaal's creepy sci-fi horror "Life" is a hit on Prime Video at the same time his and Michael Peña's action thriller is crushing it over on Max. Now, yet another Gyllenhaal-led thriller is ascending the Netflix charts, meaning the actor has claimed a spot in the rankings of the biggest streamer in the game at the same time he's dominating rival platforms — though he's had a bit of help with his latest streaming triumph.

2015's "Everest" is a survival thriller based on the real 1996 Mount Everest disaster that saw eight climbers lose their lives while trying to reach the highest point on Earth. The movie follows two expedition groups who are hit by a freak storm on their way to the top of the titular mountain.

Netflix giveth, and Netflix taketh away. For every film, there is a season - and those can creep up on you pretty quickly when it comes to streaming services.

Netflix is constantly adding new content to its servers, as you know. As I'm currently shelling out $38.55 every month, I feel that Netflix could afford to add a few thousand terabytes of storage just from my payment.

Yet here we are, losing great content just as fast as we get the new stuff. Listen, if it means getting a new Knives Out flick, I'll gladly give up The Ridiculous 6. But no, that abomination will likely be the last thing ever streamed by the robots and the lizard people when our sun becomes a red giant and utterly consumes the planet. But the good stuff, that's the stuff we lose. The clock is ticking on three of the best movies that may...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is not just about great superheroes, but equally (or sometimes more) formidable villains who have left their mark on pop culture.

One is a mad titan, and the other is a crimelord, so the comparison might seem unfair to most, but a villain is more than just his raw power and mass destruction. Now, let’s dive into the battle of the bad guys, and see who truly deserves the crown of MCU’s best villain.

Joseph Kosinski has been building an impressive filmography over the last 15 years as a director. After working on videos, Kosinski would direct his first feature film in 2010, with the sequel Tron: Legacy. Though it received mixed reviews, the film's iconic soundtrack and distinctive visual layout would renew interest in the Tron franchise nearly 30 years after the Jeff Bridges original. This year, the series will continue with Tron: Ares, but Kosinski will not be directing.

The director came into prominence when he helmed Top Gun: Maverick in 2022. Continuing a career trend starting with his feature film debut, the movie was a long-awaited sequel to an '80s movie. And it was a huge success. Top Gun: Maverick received rave reviews, and grossed just under $1.5 billion, becoming the second-highest grossing movie of 2022 (losing only to James Cameron's Avatar: The Way of Water). The film also received multiple Oscar nominations, winning Best Sound.

You’re walking down the street, sipping your overpriced coffee, when suddenly, half the people around you vanish into dust. Your barista? Gone. The guy who was about to hit you with his scooter? Poof. That annoying co-worker you were pretending not to see? Also dust. Now imagine experiencing all of that… with superhuman senses.

For Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Daredevil, The Blip wouldn’t just be a bizarre moment, it would be absolute sensory horror. The sound of heartbeats disappearing mid-thump. The scent of perfume, cologne, and city grime vanishing in real-time.

Conversations cut off mid-sentence, leaving an eerie vacuum where noise should be. It’s the kind of chaos that would drive anyone mad, but for someone whose world is built on heightened perception, it’s an apocalypse on a whole different level.

Now, Daredevil: Born Again...

Jonathan Majorsbecame best known for portraying Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and his Emmy-nominated performance in Lovecraft Country before his blossoming career came to a halt after a 2023 conviction for misdemeanor assault and harassment against his ex-partner, Grace Jabbari. Majors, who pleaded not guilty to all charges and was acquitted on other counts, now faces an uphill battle for a comeback. In a recent cover story for The Hollywood Reporter, Majors and other industry insiders interviewed discuss that possibility. Majors has an upcoming project coming out later this month, Magazine Dreams, and its reception should indicate how feasible a comeback is for the actor.

Magazine Dreams centers on an amateur bodybuilder (portrayed by Majors) who dreams of making it big in professional weightlifting competitions. Directed by Elijah Bynum, it premiered at Sundance 2023 to critical acclaim, with much praise for Majors' performance. The film was set for release...
