Snow White is one of Disney’s defining animated classics, and its live-action remake has been a long time coming. This highly-anticipated film will finally hit the theaters in March, and Disney dropped the first teaser trailer during the D23 Expo this past week.

Based on Disney’s 1937 animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the live-action remake chronicles the journey of a young princess who was rescued by the Seven Dwarfs after being exiled into the dangerous forest by her wicked stepmother.

Rachel Zegler leads the cast of Disney’s new remake, and she described playing Snow White as an honor of a lifetime at the D23 Expo. Gal Gadot, who plays the Evil Queen, also joined her on stage and said, “It was a lot of fun to get to do something that is completely different than anything I’ve ever done before.”

The supporting cast of Show White also includes Andrew Burnap as Jonathan, Ansu Kabia as the Huntsman, Dujonna Gift as Maple, Martin Klebba as Grumpy, and Colin Michael Carmichael in an undisclosed role. 

After being hit by several major delays, Snow White is finally coming to theaters on March 21, 2025. It will become available on Disney+ at a later date.

Robert Downey Jr. knows what it’s like to play one of Marvel’s biggest heroes, but he’ll soon get a chance to become a villain. The Oscar winner is re-joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Doom in the next two Avengers movies.

Downey is one of the actors responsible for building the MCU into a global phenomenon during his time as Tony Stark/Iron Man. The franchise has been struggling to reach its old glory since his exit, and he’ll try to help revitalize it as a brand-new character.

All hell broke loose after the Russo brothers stepped on stage at the San Diego Comic-Con to announce they’re bringing Doctor Doom back for two new movies – Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. A masked man wearing green joined them and took his mask off in a theatrical fashion, revealing he was none other than Robert Downey Jr.

Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars will come out in 2026 and 2027 as a part of the MCU’s Phase Six, and it remains to be seen if Downey will make a cameo as Doctor Doom in any films leading up to them. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is the most obvious choice because Doctor Doom is one of the team’s main villains, but the footage unveiled at Comic-Con didn’t give us any hints about his potential appearance.

I Know What You Did Last Summer is one of the defining slashers of the ’90s, and its reboot is just around the corner. This high-profile project rounded out an impressive cast, which includes Camila Mendes, Madelyn Cline, and Jonah Hauer-King.

Led by Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze Jr, Last Summer is remembered as one of the films that revitalized the slasher genre during the 90s. It centered on a group of young friends, who are hunted by their past after a mysterious villain they hit with a car comes back seeking revenge.

Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) is directing the reboot and she co-wrote the script with Sam Lansky. She’s leaving the door open for the original cast members to make a cameo, but nothing has officially been confirmed.

The new version of I Know What You Did Last Summer will be pretty star-studded even without the original stars reprising their roles. Camila Mendes (Riverdale) and Madelyn Cline (Outer Banks) are leading the cast, alongside Jonah Hauer-King (The Little Mermaid), Sarah Pidgeon (The Wilds), and Tyriq Withers (Tell Me Lies).

I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot already has a release date, and it’s coming to theatres on July 18, 2025.

Over two decades after Gladiator first saw the light of day, Ridley Scott is ready to take us back to Ancient Rome. The epic first trailer for Gladiator II is here, and it sees Paul Mescal stepping into the arena and fighting for his life as the gladiator Lucius Verus.

Lucius Verus has really been through it since the first Gladiator movie—the son of Marcus Aurelius and Lucilla was once an heir to the Roman Empire, but those days are long behind him. He’s trying to lead a peaceful life in the coastal town of Numidia before he’s forced into slavery after being taken from his home by the Roman army.

Inspired by the story of Maximus, he resolves to give it his all to survive the arena and fight as the gladiator, challenging the rule of emperors Caracalla and Geta.

In addition to the Oscar nominee Paul Mescal in the lead role, Gladiator II also stars Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen, Denzel Washington, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, Derek Jacobi, May Calamawy, Tim McInnerny, Alexander Karim, and Rory McCann.

Gladiator II was written by David Scarpa, with Ridley Scott returning as the director and producer. It will premiere internationally on November 15, before hitting the theaters in North America a week later, on November 22.

Films about female experience were going stronger than ever at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and won some of the festival’s top prizes. Sean Baker’s Anora was one of them, and it was honored with the prestigious Palme d’Or after premiering a rapturous standing ovation at Cannes.

Anora is the tale of the young exotic dancer from New York (Mikey Madison), whose whirlwind romance with the son of a Russian oligarch leads to a quick elopement. Just when she thinks she could have it all, his parents fly to New York to try and annul their marriage.

Anora is the fifth consecutive film to win the Palme d’Or for its distributor Neon, after the success of Parasite, Titane, Triangle of Sadness, and Anatomy of a Fall. It’s also the first American film to be honored with this prize in over a decade, since The Tree of Life in 2011.

Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or acceptance speech was an ode to movie theatres, and he said he’s determined to keep making feature films intended for theatrical exhibition after Anora.

“This literally has been my singular goal as a filmmaker for the past 30 years, so I’m not really sure what I’m going to do with the rest of my life. But I do know that I will continue to fight for cinema because right now as filmmakers, we have to fight to keep cinema alive,” said Baker in his speech.

After years in the making, Wicked is finally hitting the theaters this fall, and its latest trailer is one wild ride. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande lead the way as two young witches Elphaba and Glinda, trying to fulfil their destines and forge their paths in the magical Land of Oz.

Universal describes Wicked as a spectacular, generation-defining cinematic event about two very different young women. Elphaba struggles to fit in with her peers at Shiz University due to her unusual green skin until she finds an unlikely ally in a privileged young witch Glinda.

“The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths,” reads the film’s official logline.

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande will lead the way as Elphaba and Glinda, who are destined to become Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West. They’ll be joined by Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Bowen Yang, and Peter Dinklage in supporting roles.

Wicked will be released on November 27, while its sequel will hit the theaters in November 2025.

We’ve seen many amazing actors play Superman over the years, and David Corenswet is the next one in line. James Gunn’s superhero blockbuster is currently in production, and he just shared the first look at David Corenswet as the beloved superhero.

Superman in Gunn’s new film will be “the embodiment of truth, justice, and the American way”, and we’ll see him embarking on a journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas.

David Corenswet was tapped to play the lead role last summer, and it’s not a coincidence Gunn chose him to embody one of the most iconic superheroes in history.

“The next Superman has to be someone who has all the humanity that Superman has but he’s also an alien. It’s gotta be somebody who has the kindness and the compassion that Superman has and be somebody who you want to give a hug,” Gunn told Variety.

The first film sees Corenswet suiting up to save the day, while a giant meteor is seen through the window of his apartment. According to Gunnn, this photo was taken on set by Jess Miglio and was “entirely in-camera.”

Superman will hit the theaters on July 11, 2025, and it will also star Rachel Brosnahan, Isabela Merced, Edi Gathegi, Nathan Fillion, Anthony Carrigan, Sara Sampaio, and Nicholas Hoult.

It’s already been five years since The Lion King remake took the world by storm, and the next installment in this franchise is on the way. Mufasa: The Lion King is one of Disney’s most exciting new releases of 2024, and its first trailer is finally here.

Simba’s father Mufasa was one of the major characters in The Lion King, and we’ll finally get to learn more about him in this prequel film.

Mufasa: The Lion King enlists Rafiki to relay the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala… The story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka – the heir to a royal bloodline,” reads Disney’s official logline.

This prequel will also see Mufasa embark on an epic journey with an extraordinary group of misfits, which will force them to test their bonds and evade a threatening and deadly foe while searching for their destiny.

Mufasa: The Lion King will also mark the return of Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, John Kani, and Beyoncé, who’ll be joined by Aaron Pierre, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Tiffany Boone, Mads Mikkelsen, Thandiwe Newton, and Lennie James. Beyoncé’s daughter Blue Ivy Carter will make her feature film debut in this film.

Mufasa: The Lion King will be released by Walt Disney Studios on December 20.

Challengers is one of the buzziest new films to come out this spring, and it’s getting credit where credit is due. After premiering to rave reviews, Luca Guadagnino’s tennis drama demolished the competition to top the domestic box office with a $15 million opening.

Directed by Call Me By Your Name’s Luca Guadagnino, Challengers chronicles the rise and fall of the former tennis protégé Tashi (Zendaya). A bright future was ahead of her before an injury derailed her career as a professional tennis player, forcing her to turn to coaching instead.

She poured all her energy into helping her husband Art (Mike Faist) become a Grand Slam champion. Once he finds himself in a rut, Tashi decides to sign him up for a low-level event to gain back his confidence, but it turns out he won’t get an easy win because his former best friend and Tashi’s ex Patrick (Josh O’Connor) is also playing.

R-rated original films usually struggle to make a mark at the box office, but that didn’t stop Challengers from serving up a win with a $15 million opening. In addition to topping the domestic box office, it earned $10 million outside of North America.

Challengers was initially slated for the world premiere at the Venice Film Festival last year before shifting its release date to April 26, 2024, due to dual strikes in Hollywood.

Films about female experience were going stronger than ever at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and won some of the festival’s top prizes. Sean Baker’s Anora was one of them, and it was honored with the prestigious Palme d’Or after premiering a rapturous standing ovation at Cannes.

Anora is the tale of the young exotic dancer from New York (Mikey Madison), whose whirlwind romance with the son of a Russian oligarch leads to a quick elopement. Just when she thinks she could have it all, his parents fly to New York to try and annul their marriage.

Anora is the fifth consecutive film to win the Palme d’Or for its distributor Neon, after the success of Parasite, Titane, Triangle of Sadness, and Anatomy of a Fall. It’s also the first American film to be honored with this prize in over a decade, since The Tree of Life in 2011.

Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or acceptance speech was an ode to movie theatres, and he said he’s determined to keep making feature films intended for theatrical exhibition after Anora.

“This literally has been my singular goal as a filmmaker for the past 30 years, so I’m not really sure what I’m going to do with the rest of my life. But I do know that I will continue to fight for cinema because right now as filmmakers, we have to fight to keep cinema alive,” said Baker in his speech.

After years in the making, Wicked is finally hitting the theaters this fall, and its latest trailer is one wild ride. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande lead the way as two young witches Elphaba and Glinda, trying to fulfil their destines and forge their paths in the magical Land of Oz.

Universal describes Wicked as a spectacular, generation-defining cinematic event about two very different young women. Elphaba struggles to fit in with her peers at Shiz University due to her unusual green skin until she finds an unlikely ally in a privileged young witch Glinda.

“The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths,” reads the film’s official logline.

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande will lead the way as Elphaba and Glinda, who are destined to become Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West. They’ll be joined by Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Bowen Yang, and Peter Dinklage in supporting roles.

Wicked will be released on November 27, while its sequel will hit the theaters in November 2025.

We’ve seen many amazing actors play Superman over the years, and David Corenswet is the next one in line. James Gunn’s superhero blockbuster is currently in production, and he just shared the first look at David Corenswet as the beloved superhero.

Superman in Gunn’s new film will be “the embodiment of truth, justice, and the American way”, and we’ll see him embarking on a journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas.

David Corenswet was tapped to play the lead role last summer, and it’s not a coincidence Gunn chose him to embody one of the most iconic superheroes in history.

“The next Superman has to be someone who has all the humanity that Superman has but he’s also an alien. It’s gotta be somebody who has the kindness and the compassion that Superman has and be somebody who you want to give a hug,” Gunn told Variety.

The first film sees Corenswet suiting up to save the day, while a giant meteor is seen through the window of his apartment. According to Gunnn, this photo was taken on set by Jess Miglio and was “entirely in-camera.”

Superman will hit the theaters on July 11, 2025, and it will also star Rachel Brosnahan, Isabela Merced, Edi Gathegi, Nathan Fillion, Anthony Carrigan, Sara Sampaio, and Nicholas Hoult.

It’s already been five years since The Lion King remake took the world by storm, and the next installment in this franchise is on the way. Mufasa: The Lion King is one of Disney’s most exciting new releases of 2024, and its first trailer is finally here.

Simba’s father Mufasa was one of the major characters in The Lion King, and we’ll finally get to learn more about him in this prequel film.

Mufasa: The Lion King enlists Rafiki to relay the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala… The story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka – the heir to a royal bloodline,” reads Disney’s official logline.

This prequel will also see Mufasa embark on an epic journey with an extraordinary group of misfits, which will force them to test their bonds and evade a threatening and deadly foe while searching for their destiny.

Mufasa: The Lion King will also mark the return of Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, John Kani, and Beyoncé, who’ll be joined by Aaron Pierre, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Tiffany Boone, Mads Mikkelsen, Thandiwe Newton, and Lennie James.

Challengers is one of the buzziest new films to come out this spring, and it’s getting credit where credit is due. After premiering to rave reviews, Luca Guadagnino’s tennis drama demolished the competition to top the domestic box office with a $15 million opening.

Directed by Call Me By Your Name’s Luca Guadagnino, Challengers chronicles the rise and fall of the former tennis protégé Tashi (Zendaya). A bright future was ahead of her before an injury derailed her career as a professional tennis player, forcing her to turn to coaching instead.

She poured all her energy into helping her husband Art (Mike Faist) become a Grand Slam champion. Once he finds himself in a rut, Tashi decides to sign him up for a low-level event to gain back his confidence, but it turns out he won’t get an easy win because his former best friend and Tashi’s ex Patrick (Josh O’Connor) is also playing.

R-rated original films usually struggle to make a mark at the box office, but that didn’t stop Challengers from serving up a win with a $15 million opening. In addition to topping the domestic box office, it earned $10 million outside of North America.

Challengers was initially slated for the world premiere at the Venice Film Festival last year before shifting its release date to April 26, 2024, due to dual strikes in Hollywood.
