New Trailers
Navigating multiverse chaos and unresolved pasts, Peacemaker Season 2 returns August 21 on Max with dimension-hopping, legacy conflicts, and a revamped DCU the world will soon revere.
The trailer opens to “Road to Nowhere” by Ozzy Osbourne—a tune now deeply poignant following his recent passing—underscored by James Gunn’s emotionally charged music choices this season. Christopher Smith returns to the Quantum Unfolding Chamber, revealing a gateway to an alternate universe—the “same as ours, but better.”
We see tensions simmer with Rick Flag Sr. over the death of his son, as the show soft-launches the new DC Universe post‑Superman. Cameos from Hawkgirl, Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Maxwell Lord, and others tease the upcoming Justice Gang auditions, introducing clashes grounded in ego and legacy. A possible romantic arc with Harcourt is teased, and opening credit antics offer the same irreverent energy longtime fans expect.
A sweeping and tender musical romance unfolds across decades: two young musicians connect during WWI and rediscover love years later through folk songs in New England.
The teaser opens in 1917 at the Boston Conservatory, where Lionel (Paul Mescal) meets David (Josh O’Connor)—both students united by a passion for folk music. Their connection deepens into love before David leaves for World War I. The film leaps forward: Lionel, now older, joins David on a journey through rural Maine to record traditional music, only to face memories and heartbreak. The trailer features lyrical scenes of nature, intimate songwriting, and a reflective narration by an older Lionel (Chris Cooper), capturing themes of legacy, memory, and unspoken desire. Directed by Oliver Hermanus and adapted from Ben Shattuck’s short story, the film blends romance with cultural preservation in a heartfelt, period-setting drama.
Gen V returns with a tougher semester at Godolkin University—Season 2 cranks up the stakes with Homelander’s regime, secret programs, and escalating tension at the supe academy.
The new trailer reveals a militarized Godolkin campus under Dean Cipher’s regime, where students are molded into fighters ready for war. Marie, Emma, and Jordan reintegrate into college life after months of captivity, entering a dystopian Hunger Games–style environment. Power struggles unfold as Polarity laments his missing son, Andre, and a mysterious university project tied to Marie is brought to light. Cameos from The Boys—Starlight, Black Noir, and The Deep—signal deeper crossover with the mothership series, while new flashbacks introduce Thomas Godolkin as a pivotal legacy figure.
A meditative portrait of ordinary life turned extraordinary—Train Dreams follows a logger’s life across early 20th‑century America, where love, loss, and legacy shape a quietly heroic journey.
The teaser trail gently through the forests of the Pacific Northwest, as Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton) works on railroads and marries Gladys (Felicity Jones), hoping to build a simple yet meaningful life. Moments of domestic tenderness contrast sharply with devastation: fire, grief, and isolation strip him of family and direction. Narrated by Will Patton, the story unfolds with poetic restraint and sweeping visuals, underscored by Bryce Dessner’s evocative score. As Robert grapples with change and loss, we witness a universal tale of resilience and the beauty of stillness in motion.
Directed by Clint Bentley (Sing Sing), adapted from Denis Johnson’s novella by Bentley and Greg Kwedar, the film premiered at Sundance 2025 and has since earned 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. A limited theatrical release begins November 7, followed by global streaming on Netflix starting November 21, 2025.
A tender post-war romance set in Saigon—Ky Nam Inn follows a young translator who forms an unlikely connection with an older widow amidst healing and cultural divides. World premieres at TIFF 2025.
In the first glimpse of Ky Nam Inn, we are transported to post-war Saigon in a quiet, intimate period piece. A translator in his twenties, navigating the complexities of rebuilding a city and life, meets a gracious older widow in her family’s old inn. Their shared moments—a whispered conversation, a gentle smile—speak of solace amid loss. Director Lê Quán Kỳ Nam (Leon Le) weaves subtle emotional threads, portraying cultural dissonance and unspoken longing in a society on the mend. The trailer’s soft lighting and thoughtful pacing suggest a film rich in atmosphere and emotional nuance.
This delicate tale hails from Vietnam and marks Leon Le’s sophomore feature. Ky Nam Inn will world-premiere in TIFF’s Special Presentations category in September 2025.
In Good Fortune, Keanu Reeves plays Gabriel, a well‑meaning but inept guardian angel whose attempt to fix a struggling gig worker’s life spirals into chaos—because sometimes money does buy happiness.
Gabriel lives by celestial rules—saving people from texting while driving or choking—until he body-swaps gig‑worker Arj (Aziz Ansari) with wealthy exec Jeff (Seth Rogen). As Arj enjoys sudden luxury and Gabriel gets grounded, lives are flipped upside down. Gabriel must now live among humans without wings, sharing space with Jeff’s displaced life. Elena (Keke Palmer) brings moral clarity and fights for workers’ rights while Martha (Sandra Oh) enforces angelic discipline. With absurd comedy, sharp social commentary, and nerve‑racking dance numbers, this indie‑style fantasy skewers capitalism and celebrates empathy.
Leonardo DiCaprio returns in Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, a tense action-thriller about a former revolutionary racing to save his daughter—shot for IMAX and arriving in theaters on September 26, 2025.
The latest trailer opens with Leo’s character, Bob, assembling an explosive device while rallying his former rebel crew. Years later, he’s forced back into action when his daughter is kidnapped under the orders of Col. Steven Lockjaw (Sean Penn). We see travel through Northern California’s redwoods and Anza‑Borrego Desert as Bob enlists underground allies like Sensei Sergio (Benicio del Toro) to mount a daring rescue mission. Moments of high-speed chase and covert planning contrast with intimate father-daughter bonds and ironic quips. The teaser’s emotional impact is underscored by Beyoncé’s “Freedom” and a fracturing family caught in political crossfire.
A young Predator becomes the hunted in Predator: Badlands, a bold, adrenaline-fueled chapter in the franchise—Sony Fanning’s android ally and an alien planet full of danger await on November 7.
The trailer opens with the tagline “First hunt. Last chance.” We then plunge into a harsh, alien wilderness. Dek, a runt and exiled Predator, reluctantly teams up with Thia, an android built by Weyland‑Yutani corporation. Thia’s damaged and Dek carries her toward an uncertain destiny. Highlights include jaw-dropping alien fauna, cultural rituals within Predator society, and nods to Alien lore—a powerloader mech and Space Marines slivers hint at shared universe stakes. Dek and Thia’s bond forms the emotional core of a survival odyssey framed by brutal action and rich world‑building.
A harrowing endurance contest with no mercy—Francis Lawrence’s The Long Walk pits 50 young men against unrelenting rules and unthinkable stakes in one of Stephen King’s bleakest visions yet.
The latest teaser plunges viewers into a dystopian survival spectacle: 50 contestants must maintain a pace of 3 mph along US Route 1 or face execution. Legislative brutality looms in every step under the watch of the hardened Major (Mark Hamill), who bluntly articulates the fatal consequences. We witness emotional tension and fragile bonds: Ray (Cooper Hoffman) and Peter (David Jonsson) form a fast friendship despite an ominous warning—“you should never make friends on The Long Walk.” As exhaustion sets in and casualties mount, the trailer teases haunting sacrifices, graphic executions, and mounting psychological strain. The footage reveals the severity of the contest while highlighting the emotional toll survivors endure.
A vividly gothic spectacle from Guillermo del Toro—FRANKENSTEIN introduces Oscar Isaac as a driven Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as his haunting creation in a visually arresting preview of Netflix’s next major release.
The teaser immerses viewers in del Toro’s uniquely emotional take on Mary Shelley’s classic. Victor Frankenstein is shown obsessively conducting electrical experiments in his sprawling lab, culminating in the birth of the Monster through a dramatic lightning strike. We glimpse the creature violently asserting itself aboard an icebound ship, marking a terrifying transformation. Meanwhile, Dr Pretorius (Christoph Waltz) is revealed to be hunting the Monster believed dead for 40 years, aiming to resurrect Frankenstein’s controversial science.
The visuals are striking—dark, gothic interiors lit by electrical arcs, snow‑blasted Arctic landscapes, and Oscar Isaac’s intense portrayal of a man haunted by his own creation. Jacob Elordi’s Monster is teased through motion and action but thoughtfully withheld in full view, sustaining the film’s air of mystery. The tone balances cinematic grandeur with intimate tragedy, crafted over decades by del Toro.
A gripping true‑story survival thriller, Eden chronicles a doomed utopian expedition on a remote island—settlers’ greatest danger turns out to be each other in director Ron Howard’s latest.
The teaser plunges us into an ill‑fated settlement on Floreana Island: a group of idealistic Europeans seek refuge from societal collapse, only to unravel under pressure. We witness tense standoffs, shifting alliances, and desperate power plays as the brutal environment strips away civility. The cast—Jude Law, Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, Sydney Sweeney, Daniel Brühl—brings raw intensity to this descent into paranoia and betrayal. Shot in Australia with a score by Hans Zimmer, Howard’s adaptation of a true story captures how utopia collapses into chaos when human nature goes unchecked.
A heartfelt and humorous reunion unfolds when three sisters return for their mother’s third wedding—My Mother’s Wedding serves up family drama with emotional baggage and unexpected revelations, coming to theaters August 8.
The trailer centers on Diana’s big day and the family’s homecoming: three sisters—each with a distinctive life path—gather for their mother’s third wedding at their childhood home. Katherine is a Royal Navy captain, Victoria a Hollywood actress, and Georgina a palliative nurse. As the ceremony approaches, simmering tensions surface, old wounds reopen, and secrets emerge—set against pastoral English countryside backdrops. Directed and co-written by Kristin Scott Thomas, who draws on personal loss, the film promises bittersweet laughs and emotional depth as the family confronts past grief and present forgiveness.

The first official clip from Superman (2025) has arrived, offering fans their initial full-scene glimpse into James Gunn’s highly anticipated DC Universe reboot. The clip, which features David Corenswet as Clark Kent, is a quiet, contemplative moment—marking a tonal shift from previous Superman films. Set in Smallville, the scene opens with Clark walking alone through the golden Kansas fields before heading into Metropolis, newspaper in hand.
Rather than starting with a superpowered spectacle, Gunn chooses restraint, leaning into warmth, nostalgia, and Americana. With gentle lens flares, slow dolly shots, and natural light, the cinematography underscores the story’s emotional weight. Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) is teased through a voiceover at the Daily Planet, while John Murphy’s subtle score gives the moment a mythic resonance without overwhelming the human element.
This is Superman as Gunn promised—noble, introspective, and rooted in identity rather than invincibility. If the opening scene is any indication, Superman (2025) may succeed in marrying the emotional clarity of Man of Steel with the sincerity and optimism fans have long hoped to see restored.
The new featurette for Superman (2025) showcases how James Gunn’s reboot was crafted with IMAX in mind—promising a superhero epic shot for the biggest screen possible.
Warner Bros. has released a behind-the-scenes look at Superman (2025) titled “Filmed for IMAX®,” giving fans their most immersive peek yet at the scale and ambition behind James Gunn’s DC Universe relaunch. Designed to be experienced in full IMAX 1.90:1 aspect ratio, the footage features sweeping set pieces, towering practical builds, and first glimpses of Superman in flight across expansive American landscapes.
Director James Gunn narrates portions of the video, underscoring his commitment to grounding the film’s spectacle in emotion and character. “We didn’t just want the action to be big,” Gunn says, “we wanted it to feel big—to mean something.” The featurette includes production shots of David Corenswet suited up as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, hinting at the dynamic interplay between hero, journalist, and villain that defines the heart of the film.
The IMAX footage emphasizes natural lighting, large-scale sets, and vivid contrast between Clark Kent’s Kansas roots and the grandeur of his Kryptonian heritage. From cornfields to craters, and newsroom interiors to planetary transmissions, every detail feels constructed to immerse audiences in both myth and intimacy.
The clip ends with Gunn and the crew watching playback on towering IMAX monitors, visibly proud of the visual depth they’re delivering. It’s clear Superman is not just a film—it’s an event calibrated for maximum theatrical impact.
A haunting new clip from Superman (2025) delves into the mythic scale of Kal-El’s origin, teasing the emotional weight of his destiny.
In the latest official clip from James Gunn’s Superman, titled “Knowledge Is Worth Many Sacrifices,” the film pivots away from the grounded realism of its previous teasers to explore Krypton’s haunting legacy. Through a holographic message or recovered memory, Kal-El (David Corenswet) receives a solemn transmission from a Kryptonian elder—likely Jor-El—delivering a poetic warning about sacrifice, heritage, and the cost of wisdom.
Visually drenched in solemn light and alien iconography, the clip leans into the grandeur of Superman’s origins, contrasting the emotional intimacy of Clark Kent’s Earth-bound life with the epic magnitude of his galactic lineage. Corenswet’s silent performance—anchored in awe and grief—emphasizes the film’s dual emotional register: intimate character drama and mythological sci-fi.
As composer John Murphy’s score swells beneath the narration, the scene echoes the classic tones of Man of Steel and Superman: The Movie, while signaling a more philosophical and emotionally complex approach to the Superman mythos. It’s a stirring look at what’s shaping up to be a deeply personal yet universally resonant superhero epic.
James Gunn’s Superman continues to tease its character-driven core with a tense, grounded exchange from the latest official clip.
A new clip from Superman (2025), titled “Keep An Eye On Him,” has been released, offering a sharp, dialogue-heavy moment that underscores the film’s tonal balance between human stakes and heroic mythology. The scene centers on Clark Kent (David Corenswet) navigating his dual identity while under the wary gaze of law enforcement and federal authorities—hinting at larger tensions between Superman and the institutions meant to protect the world.
Set in a drab government corridor, the clip favors subtle tension over spectacle. Characters exchange loaded glances and clipped dialogue, suggesting that Superman’s arrival hasn’t unified the world—it’s split it. Corenswet’s performance exudes quiet intensity, reinforcing James Gunn’s commitment to portraying Kal-El as both alien and painfully human.
This brief but effective scene continues to support what early looks have promised: a Superman story that blends idealism with realism, and action with internal conflict. With its July 2025 release date drawing closer, anticipation is soaring for the first chapter in DC Studios’ new cinematic universe.
Marvel Studios offers a grounded and intimate preview of its highly anticipated reboot with a quiet family moment around the dinner table.
Marvel Studios has released the first official clip from The Fantastic Four: First Steps, offering fans an unexpected look into the emotional core of the upcoming reboot. Titled “Sunday Dinner,” the scene finds the newly formed team—Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach)—sharing a rare moment of calm amid the chaos of their evolving powers and responsibilities.
Set against the backdrop of a quiet evening in the Baxter Building, the clip is more intimate than action-packed, centering on familial chemistry and subtle character beats. Pascal’s Reed anchors the scene with contemplative authority, while Kirby’s Sue provides warmth and resolve. Johnny’s irreverence and Ben’s dry wit round out the dynamic, reminding viewers that this isn’t just a superhero squad—it’s a makeshift family learning to navigate their new reality.
The subdued tone suggests director Matt Shakman (WandaVision) is leaning into emotional storytelling and character development, promising a version of the Fantastic Four that prioritizes interpersonal stakes alongside cosmic spectacle. The film hits theaters July 25, with expectations sky-high for this long-awaited MCU entry.
Mike Flanagan adapts Stephen King’s experimental novella with surprising warmth in this first official scene.
From acclaimed horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep) comes an emotional new adaptation of Stephen King’s The Life of Chuck, starring Tom Hiddleston and Mark Hamill. This official clip offers a first look at the film’s unconventional tone—far from typical King terror, the story unfolds in reverse chronology, beginning with Chuck’s death and tracing his life back through moments of joy, mystery, and loss. The scene, set in an eerie yet oddly tender world, showcases Flanagan’s ability to infuse metaphysical themes with human intimacy.
The adaptation stitches together three seemingly disparate vignettes that eventually coalesce into a portrait of life, death, and cosmic significance. With evocative cinematography, melancholic undertones, and performances that straddle surrealism and sincerity, this clip gives audiences an early taste of a film that promises to be one of the most ambitious King adaptations to date.

Emma Stone plays Louise Cross, Joe’s conflicted wife, while Austin Butler delivers a chilling performance as cult leader Vernon Jefferson Peak, injecting spiritual extremism into an already divided community. With cinematography by Darius Khondji and a score by Bobby Krlic and Daniel Pemberton, Eddingtoncaptures the paranoia, power plays, and moral erosion of a nation in crisis.

An early look at One Battle After Another teases Paul Thomas Anderson’s return to character-driven drama, with Leonardo DiCaprio anchoring a tense and intimate scene titled “Baby.”
The first official clip from Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another has arrived. Titled “Baby,” the scene offers a restrained but emotionally loaded moment featuring Leonardo DiCaprio in what may be one of his most vulnerable performances to date.
Set in the American heartland during an unspecified postwar period, One Battle After Another appears to be a meditation on generational trauma, masculinity, and the silent wars waged within domestic spaces. The clip showcases Anderson’s signature stillness and emotional geometry—long takes, lingering silences, and dialogue that hints at a deeper rupture beneath the surface. DiCaprio’s character remains unreadable yet exposed, as Anderson captures a man circling a confrontation he’s not ready to have.
Shot on 35mm with the director’s frequent collaborators behind the camera, “Baby” suggests the film’s power lies not in spectacle but in emotional precision. With Anderson returning to stripped-down storytelling, One Battle After Another is shaping up to be one of the year’s most anticipated auteur-driven dramas.

In My Father’s Shadow, memories linger like ghosts—and sometimes, they speak. This gripping new clip teases the emotional reckoning at the heart of the film.
