MAN ON FIRE (2026): New Trailer Starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Billy Blanco Jr, Alex Ozerov-Meyer, Elizabeth Leiner…

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stars as John Creasy, a wounded former mercenary driven by revenge after losing his only companion, all while defending his fallen colleague’s daughter from the same forces that destroyed her family.

Additional key cast includes Billy Blanco Jr, Elizabeth Leiner and Alex Ozerov-Meyer.

Unfortunately, the Denzel Washington movie on which this series is based is still on the shelf labelled ‘to watch.’ I’ll be allowing time for that at some point before diving into this series.

I’m into the The Equalizer (2014) action movie-type energy here. Additionally, my favourite thing about this trailer, so far, is the music featured. If I didn’t know better, I’d say it was Kanye West. It’s not. Because it’s actually Joznez, Ditone & Kataem.

Are you a fan of Man on Fire (2004)?

David Will No, Grace Shen, Juliana Spínola, Mursi Haynes, Kristi Monson, Bobby Cannavale, Scoot McNairy, Alice Braga, Billie Boullet and Paul Ben-Victor also star.

Man on Fire Release Dates: April 30th, 2026…

OUTCOME (2026): New Trailer Starring Keanu Reeves, Cameron Diaz, Jonah Hill, Matt Bomer…

Keanu Reeves’s latest is a Jonah Hill-directed and co-written drama/comedy/mystery about a Hollywood star forced to confront his past, after a bizarre video is released.

Cameron Diaz, Matt Bomer, David Spade and Jonah Hill are among the key cast.

Why do I get the feeling that all the characters in this trailer are dead people? It’s the over-saturation of colour, giving a ‘not-of-this-world vibe,’ perhaps.

I like the eclectic cast, and I’m curious because of Reeves’s involvement. Lastly, Hill’s character’s look is quite a choice, is it not?

Susan Lucci, Roy Wood Jr. Ivy Wolk, Kaia Gerber, Laverne Cox, Shola Adewusi, Cary Christopher, Atsuko Okatsuka and Carlos Carrasco also star.

Outcome Release Dates: April 10th, 2026 (US & UK)…

SCARY MOVIE (2026): New Trailer Starring Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Marlon Wayans, Sydney Park…

Directed by Michael Tiddes, Scary Movie is a parody/spoof comedy of the most popular horror films of recent years, a follow-up to Scary Movie (2000), and its four sequels.

Written by Craig Wayans, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans and Rick Alvarez, the key cast includes Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Marlon Wayans and Sydney Park.

This is probably the kind of scary film I can look forward to, since it leads with humour rather than horror. At least that’s what I hope, especially since I don’t remember much about the original Scary Movie films.

Hopefully, as an infrequent watcher of horror, I’ll still appreciate many, if not all the jokes.

Dave Sheridan, Damon Wayans Jr., Chris Elliott, Jon Abrahams, Heidi Gardner, Cheri Oteri, Shawn Wayans, Anthony Anderson, Felissa Rose, Savannah Lee Nassif, Kim Wayans, Olivia Rose Keegan, and Cameron Scott Roberts also star.

Scary Movie Release Dates: June 5th, 2026 (UK); June 12th (US)…

IN THE GREY (2026): New Trailer Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Henry Cavill, Rosamund Pike, Jason Wong, Eiza González…

In the Grey stars Henry Cavill and Jake Gyllenhaal as elite operatives tasked with stealing back a billion-dollar fortune, resulting in a deadly game of strategy, deception and survival.

Rosamund Pike, Jason Wong and Eiza González are among the key cast.

Like every Guy Ritchie movie, this trailer too immediately piqued my interest, thanks to the rhythm, dialogue, and music.

When it comes to my favourite performances by American actors in Ritchie movies, my favourite is Matthew McConaughey in The Gentlemen (2020), then Brad Pitt in Snatch (2000), Robert Downey Jr in Sherlock Holmes (2009), then Jake Gyllenhaal in The Covenant (2023). Perhaps In the Grey will be a second entry for Gyllenhaal.

What’s your favourite performance by an American actor in a Guy Ritchie film?

Emmett J. Scanlan, Fisher Stevens, Kristofer Hivju, Kojo Attah Carlos Bardem, Darrell D’Silva, Christian Ochoa Lavernia, Karlos Klaumannsmoller, Cory Douglas Campbell and Mohammed Al Turki, Gonzalo Bouza also star.

In the Grey Release Dates: May 15th, 2026 (US)…

LANTERNS (2026): New Trailer Starring Kyle Chandler, Aaron Pierre, Nathan Fillion, Kelly Macdonald…

Created by Tom King and Chris Mundy, new eight-part series, Lanterns, stars Kyle Chandler, Aaron Pierre, Nathan Fillion and Kelly Macdonald.

The story follows John Stewart (Pierre) and Hal Jordan (Chandler), two Lanterns, a.k.a., intergalactic cops, drawn into a dark, Earth-based mystery. One where they’re investigating a murder in the American heartland.

Promising‘, one might say.

I particularly like what happens from 1:29 in this trailer, and the music that kicks in around 1:42. Is it just me, or does it sound a lot like something from Black Panther? Especially toward the end of that trailer.

Before this, which sounds like a fun premise, all I really knew about Green Lantern, as a non–comic book reader, was that he’s a superhero Ryan Reynolds played back in 2011… much to the disappointment of many fans.

It’s still too early to say how this version will turn out, but I’m here for the unexpected, chemistry-filled pairing of Pierre and Chandler.

Lastly, long-standing Green Lantern fan or not, how is this looking to you?

Jason Ritter, Nicole Ari Parker, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Sherman Augustus, Michael Ocampo, Ulrich Thomsen, Sherman Augustus, J. Alphonse Nicholson and Romeo Brown also star.

Lanterns Release Dates: August, 2026 (US & UK)…
