Trailers have become a significant part of anticipation culture. These days, eager fans analyze every frame of any advance look at shows like Game of Thrones or movies like Avengers: Endgame. The Verge can help you find the latest trailers as they’re released — not just the biggest and most analysis-worthy sneak peaks, but teasers for promising indie films and streaming shows as well. Follow along for first-look sneak peaks at everything from Netflix’s latest releases to the newest Marvel Cinematic Universe film.
HBO has released the first trailer for its upcoming Harry Potter series, which will help fund executive producer J.K. Rowling’s ongoing crusade against transgender people. In addition to dropping the trailer, HBO has also bumped the series’ premiere date up to December 25th 2026.
The entire point of HBO’s upcoming Lanterns series is to introduce new incarnations John Stewart and Hal Jordan — two superpowered space cops — to DC Studios’ cinematic universe. But Lanterns first teaser trailer makes it seem like the show might feel much more like True Detective when it premieres in August.
I Saw the TV Glow writer / director Jane Schoenbrun is back with Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, a horror about a director (Hannah Einbinder) becoming strangely entangled with her lead actress (Gillian Anderson) as the two work on the reboot of a long-dead slasher franchise. The film’s out August 7th.
Jane Austen’s signature work is being adapted for Netflix. Think Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016), but no zombies, so think the 2005 film starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen, but a series, so think the 1995 miniseries starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth.
It’s scheduled for release sometime later this year; Emma Corrin and Jack Lowden star.
We already knew that the threat in Toy Story 5 would be a fresh piece of technology voiced by Greta Lee, and the latest trailer shows a bit more of the adorably creepy Lilypad, which is “always listening.” I guess I know what fictional gadget I’m reviewing next.
Focus Features is billing The AI Doc: Or How I Became An Apocaloptimist as an “eye-opening” exploration of “the most powerful technology humanity has ever created.” You’d think the doc might feature some critical voices, but its new trailer makes it feel like it might be one big commercial. The film premieres on March 27th.
The latest trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu really highlights how very, very young Grogu still is for one of Yoda’s species, which makes it seem that much more absurd that Din Djarin still hasn’t found his son a helmet to protect that (presumably) soft head.
There’s a lot to see in Netflix’s new trailer for the live-action One Piece’s upcoming second season, but the most surprising reveal here is a fresh look at Tony Tony Chopper’s (Mikaela Hoover) Walk Point form that turns him into a much more normal-looking reindeer. The show’s out March 10th.
Just before kickoff, Disney and Pixar previewed their next CG family flick, Hoppers. As we’ve heard and seen in a teaser trailer, this one follows a world where people put their minds into 3D-printed versions of animals to try and live among them. It’s coming to theaters on March 6th, although the YouTube description mentions an early viewing window on February 28th.
The adaptation of Andy Weir’s best-selling novel is hitting theaters on March 20th. But, before that, we’re getting our clearest look yet at Rocky, the alien that befriends Gosling’s Ryland Grace. This trailer really ramps up the drama and… wait, why is Grace teaching Rocky to dance?
Earlier this week Neon confirmed that the live-action adaptation of Exit 8 would hit theaters in April, and now we have a new trailer that shows off its creepy world and very strict set of rules.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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 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.
Boy, the creative choices here for the Melania doc... They feel familiar somehow. Even, and maybe especially, the music.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
