Predator: Badlands’ new trailer puts Yautja on the menu.

We knew Predator: Badlands was going to tell the story of an outcast Yautja forced to prove its worth by surviving on a planet full of monsters. But the movie’s latest trailer reveals that the Predator’s human-seeming companion Thia (Elle Fanning) is actually a Weyland-Yutani android, and the pair are going to find themselves fighting what appears to be... alien dinosaurs.

A quick turnaround.

Wes Anderson’s latest, The Phoenician Scheme, is still in select theaters, but it’ll also be streaming very soon. Peacock just announced that it’ll air the movie starting on July 25th. The news comes just a day after the streamer announced a sizable price hike.

That ‘90s fighter you like is going to come back in style.

The first trailer for Mortal Kombat IIyes, there was a first one — is heavy on meta humor and, as you’d expect, on action. And it doesn’t look like it’s skimping on the gore. The good news is that the new movie will focus on the titular tournament when it hits theaters in October. Even better: Karl Urban is shaping up to be an excellent Johnny Cage.

The best movie about the pandemic yet is still not a very good movie

Eddington hilariously and diligently evokes 2020 but has learned nothing from it.

This filmmaker is fighting piracy with piracy.

We’re All Gonna Die director Freddie Wong uploaded the movie to torrent networks with an exclusive intro message, on the same day it was released for digital download. Wong hopes viewers will support future filmmaking efforts by buying a lousy JPEG that proudly proclaims their pirate nature. Yarrr.

What if Avatar was about beavers?

That certainly seems like the premise of Pixar’s next feature, Hoppers, where people can inhabit 3D-printed versions of animals and live amongst the real ones in the wild. It also has a bit of a Wild Robot vibe, which isn’t a bad thing. Hoppers hits theaters on March 6th, 2026.

MORTAL KOUNTDOWN.

A sequel to Warner Bros.’ 2021 Mortal Kombat movie (which you definitely remember) is hitting theaters on October 24th. And when the movie’s first trailer drops tomorrow, we’ll be able to see whether Karl Urban’s Johnny Cage and Tati Gabrielle’s Jade are something to get excited about.

Look out.

Next year’s Supergirl movie promises to be a little more rough and ready than Superman, so this first official look at the film suits it well.

Milly Alcock plays the Kryptonian cousin, following a cameo in Superman, in a story adapting the comics’ Woman of Tomorrow arc. It’s DC’s next movie, followed by Clayface, a body horror take on the Batman villain.

Superman’s an all-American hit again.

Director James Gunn’s DCU reboot scored $122 million in the US this weekend, the best launch ever for a Superman solo pick, and the biggest comic opening since Deadpool & Wolverine.

That’s a strong start, but $95 million in the rest of the world is less impressive, suggesting the Man of Steel hasn’t entirely shed the patriotic sheen that Trump tried to take advantage of. That probably hurts its hopes of joining the billion dollar club.
