Hold for Undertone.

The latest trailer for A24’s podcast-focused horror film Undertone is big on unsettling vibes, but the cascade of creepy recordings driving its main character to her wits’ end make it seem like she just needs to log off and get out of the house a little more.

Joe Jackson put them kids through hell.

The latest trailer for Antoine Fuqua’s Michael Jackson biopic is here, and it makes the movie seem like it’s really going to hammer home how Joe Jackson’s tough parenting turned his children into (dysfunctional) stars.

Steal her look.

The only thing that might have made the new easer trailer for writer / director Boots Riley’s upcoming movie I Love Boosters even better would be a surprise guest appearance from Winona Rider decked out in Marc Jacobs. The film hits theaters on May 22nd.

It’s a me, your weekend plans.

What better way to spend Sunday morning than with a fresh Super Mario Galaxy movie trailer. Nintendo is streaming its next Direct showcase for the sequel on January 25th at 9AM ET. Hopefully the talking flower will make an appearance. For a refresher, here’s the most recent look.

A Darth Maul redemption arc?

While the new trailer for Disney Plus’ Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord series doesn’t at all make the Sith Lord look like a heroic figure, it does suggest that meeting his new apprentice is going to reveal new things about his character when the show premieres on April 6th.

Here comes the bride.

Following Guillermo del Toro’s opus last year, a very different take on Frankenstein is on the way. Directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, this version sees Jessie Buckley play the reanimated corpse of a murdered woman in 1930s Chicago. It looks fun, and the trailer makes very appropriate use of Florence + the Machine. The Bride hits theaters on March 4th.

The Baroques are coming to One Piece season 2.

The new teaser trailer for the second season of Netflix’s live-action One Piece adaptation introduces the show’s take on Baroque Works, the superpowered crime syndicate fixated on toppling the Arabasta Kingdom and taking out anyone who gets in their way. The new season drops on March 10th.

I would like to unsubscribe.

Podcasts enter the realm of horror with A24’s upcoming flick Undertone, in which “a popular paranormal podcast becomes haunted by terrifying recordings.” Maybe don’t watch the trailer with headphones on. It’s due in theaters on March 13th.

X marks the spot.

Teasers for Avengers: Doomsday continue to trickle out, and surprising no one — at least, no one who watched that hours-long cast reveal — the latest confirms that the new film will prominently feature the X-Men. Watch for a blink-and-you’ll miss it shot of a very emotional Cyclops.

Old Man Robin Hood.

Hugh Jackman is taking another stab at playing an aging anti hero, this time in the historical thriller The Death of Robin Hood. The film is helmed by Michael Sarnoski — director of Pig and the live-action Death Stranding feature — and is slated to hit theaters sometime this year.

The Strangest Thing.

The main Stranger Things series is coming to an end when the final episode is released tomorrow, on New Year’s Eve at 8PM ET.

Netflix released this new trailer for the finale, which is also going to be shown in theaters, where people can watch together regardless of their familiarity with “shipping” and/or fandom designation.

Here’s a look at Nicolas Cage playing Madden.

John Madden, that is, filling the shoes of the legendary NFL coach and commentator, in David O. Russell’s upcoming biopic for Prime Video. There’s only the briefest still of a video game shown in this short teaser trailer, and a quick glimpse of John Mulaney as EA exec Trip Hawkins.

Madden is scheduled for release on Thanksgiving Day, 2026.

The Avengers: Doomsday teaser trailer is online.

The short MCU clip that premiered exclusively before Avatar: Fire and Ash is finally accessible. See Chris Evans’ former Captain America drive a motorcycle, wear a jacket, and hold a baby. Didn’t Steve Rogers retire?

The film will be out on December 18th, 2026, so we have a year to wonder.

The trailer for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey dropped.

See Matt Damon’s Odysseus in action, mostly gazing intently at the mythological horrors yet to come. The movie, shot on IMAX film, will be released July 17th, 2026.

YouTube shut down two AI slop channels that pumped out fake movie trailers.

The Screen Culture and KH Studio YouTube pages have suddenly disappeared, taking their fake clips with them, reports Deadline. An earlier Deadline investigation showed how they operated, mixing official movie footage with AI-generated images, which some movie studios were profiting from by claiming the ad revenue they brought in.

YouTube spokesperson Jack Malon provided this statement to The Verge:

After their initial suspension, these channels made the necessary corrections in order to be readmitted into the YouTube Partner Program. However, once monetizing again, they reverted to clear violations of our spam and misleading metadata policies, and as a result, they have been terminated from the platform.

Are we very sure this is not a trailer for a Succession sequel?

Boy, the creative choices here for the Melania doc... They feel familiar somehow. Even, and maybe especially, the music.

The power of friendship and F15s.

The Ace Combat series is back and it’s lit. Ace Combat 8: Wing of Theve will launch next year on Xbox, PS5, and PC. Though having never played the game, Verge writer Jay Peters was unwittingly able to sum the series up succinctly and accurately: “Is it like fighter jet, the anime?” Yes, Jay, and it rules.

Here comes a new trailer.

Street Fighter...the movie (not that one) showed off its very first trailer at The Game Awards. We got a brief first-look at Ryu, Guile, Vega, and more including David Dastmalchian as M. Bison who looks kinda silly. Keighley also brought the cast out on stage, including Andrew Schulz (who’s playing Dan Hibiki) who decided troll Mortal Kombat fans and declare, “We care about money!” which is the most honest thing ever said on that stage.

Badger, badger, badger.

If there’s one thing these video game streets need is a good old-fashioned mascot platformer. Bradley The Badger is a mascot that seems to know he’s in a platforming game. In the trailer that debuted during The Game Awards pre-show, he’s transported from his colorful world to one much less fun...then it gets weird.

See you at the Bone Temple.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’s latest trailer makes it look like the movie might spend some time in the world beyond the quarantined British Isles where humanity’s still chugging along. But if that’s the case, we’re probably going to see quite a few more people get infected.

OK so what is it then?

The first trailer for Mother Mary — the latest from The Green Knight director David Lowery — promises that it’s neither a ghost story nor a love story. But it sure looks like a little of both, as well a love letter to the power of pop music (and a good dress). It hits theaters next spring.

Take your tomb raiding on the go.

Aspyr has shadow dropped Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition on both Nintendo Switch consoles. For the first time, you’ll be able to play the 2013 game that rebooted the Tomb Raider franchise on the Nintendo Switch family of systems.

But if modern Lara with her modern video game conventions aren’t your thing, Aspyr has also released remastered versions of the classic Tomb Raider games as well.

Red Dead revived.

Shortly after Wario64 noticed an ESRB listing for Read Dead Redemption rated for current-gen consoles, Rockstar went ahead and made it official with a new announcement trailer. On December 2nd, you’ll be able to play RDR on iOS and Android via Netflix, PS5, Xbox Series, and the Switch 2. Yeehaw.

Gore Verbinski has something to say about the AI apocalypse.

In Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, a strange man (Sam Rockwell) needs everyone in a diner to believe that he’s really from a future where humanity has been all but destroyed artificial intelligence. His story’s wild, but to people living in 2025, it’s not all that hard to believe. Movie’s out February 13th.

Wiggle your big toe.

The unified cut Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill films that merges Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 into a four-hour-long action epic is finally coming to theaters across the country on December 5th. There will be special screenings of 35mm and 70mm prints, and theatergoers will have a 15 minute intermission for bathroom breaks.

One of the most gorgeous animated films in years.

Arco was one of my favorite movies at this year’s Toronto film festival, a mix of Miyazaki, Moebius, and a classic time travel story. Now you can see how good it looks for yourself in this new trailer. It hits select theaters on November 14th, with a wide release in early 2026.

The Michael Jackson biopic is startin’ somethin.’

There’s a new trailer for director Antoine Fuqua’s Michael (Jackson) biopic starring Jackson’s nephew Jafaar in the titular role.

It’s too soon to tell whether the movie’s story will be any good, but it’s sure to have a banging soundtrack when it releases on April 24th.

Godzilla Minus One 2 has a name: Godzilla Minus Zero.

For Godzilla Day 2025, Toho has revealed the name of its follow-up to the 2023 flick, Godzilla Minus One, a year after we saw the first teaser for the sequel.

All it seems to confirm is the name, Godzilla -0.0 (Godzilla Minus Zero), and the return of writer/director Takashi Yamazaki.

Update: Added English title reveal.

How do laser bows work, exactly?

The latest Predator: Badlands trailer features a bunch of new shots of the deadly planet a young Yautja and his synth companion will find themselves stranded on, but the strangest thing going on here is all that fancy finger work with what appears to be a laser bow weapon.

James Cameron is back in his documentary bag.

Avatar actress Zoe Saldaña was just talking earlier this week about wanting James Cameron to make a documentary about how much human artistry goes into films made with motion capture. And now, there’s a new trailer for Disney Plus’ upcoming Fire And Water: Making The Avatar Films doc out on November 7th.

Wonder Man trailer gives Marvel fans what they really want ...

Check out the first full trailer below which prominently features Ben Kingsley. The eight-part series premieres January 27th, 2026 and appears to be about making an in-universe superhero film and clearly nods to the real world exhaustion with superhero flicks. We’ll have to wait and see if some self-aware jokes are going to be enough to keep Wonder Man from becoming another forgettable Marvel show, though.

Oldboy’s still got it.

One of my favorite movies out of TIFF this year was No Other Choice, Park Chan-wook’s surprisingly slapstick dark comedy about a man just trying to get a job. You can get a feel for it in the new trailer; it hits select theaters on Christmas before going wide in January.

It’s almost the witch(er)ing hour.

Ahead of the premiere of season 4 on October 30th — which, of course, introduces Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia — Netflix has released a new Witcher trailer. The new season has more of an ensemble vibe, with Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri all doing their own thing across the Continent.

That’s exactly what an alien would say.

In Bugonia’s latest trailer, Emma Stone’s pharmaceutical CEO character can’t fathom why her kidnappers think she might be from another planet. But the more she insists that she’s just a very rich and powerful executive, the more they’re convinced she’s, you know, not human.
