SUPERMAN Will Return In MAN OF TOMORROW

Superman Man of Tomorrow

James Gunn has announced that the next big-screen Superman movie will be Man of Tomorrow, and will be released July 9th, 2027.

After having previously teased a follow-up to this summer’s Superman, the filmmaker finally unveiled the sequel via a post on his Instagram account, alongside similar posts made by stars David Corenswet, who will return to play Clark Kent and his Kryptonian alter ego, and Nicholas Hoult, aka the supervillain Lex Luthor.

Each post included a different piece of artwork depicting Superman and Luthor, with the evil genius having swapped his businesswear for a natty new mech suit. This green and purple suit has been used by Luthor on many occasions in the comics and animated movies, but never seen in live action. It seems that Luthor has had enough of his lackeys failing to take down Superman and wants to do the job properly himself, so this rematch should be one to watch out for.

Before the Man of Tomorrow soars into cinemas, there are a couple more DC Universe films on the way – Supergirl, directed by Craig Gillespie and starring Milly Alcock, is due June 26th 2026, followed by James Watkins’ horror-styled Clayface, starring Tom Rhys Harries, on September 11th 2026.

Sophie Turner is Lara Croft in New TOMB RAIDER Series

Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner has been confirmed as the new face of Lara Croft in Prime Video’s upcoming Tomb Raider series, created by Fleabag and Killing Eve‘s Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Based on the iconic video game series, Tomb Raider will follow Croft, an aristocratic archaeologist, as she travels the world in search of ancient tombs and forgotten ruins. Turner is the first actor to bring Croft to the small screen, following cinematic incarnations played by Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander. Prime are no doubt hoping that this series can ride on the success of recent video game to TV adaptations The Last of Us and Fallout.

“I’m so excited to announce the formidable Sophie Turner as our Lara alongside this phenomenal creative team” said Waller-Bridge. “It’s not very often you get to make a show of this scale with a character you grew up loving. Everyone on board is wildly passionate about Lara and are all as outrageous, brave, and hilarious as she is. Get your artifacts out… Croft is coming…”

Sophie Turner added: “I am thrilled beyond measure to be playing Lara Croft. She’s such an iconic character, who means so much to so many – and I am giving everything I’ve got. They’re massive shoes to fill, following in the steps of Angelina and Alicia with their powerhouse performances, but with Phoebe at the helm, we (and Lara) are all in very safe hands. I can’t wait for you all to see what we have cooking.”

Waller-Bridge serves as co-showrunner alongside Chad Hodge. Production is due to begin on 19th January, 2026.

Daniela Melchior and Kristen Bell Star In VIOLENT NIGHT 2

Director Tommy Wirkola returns to direct the sequel Violent Night 2, with Deadline reporting that Daniela Melchior and Kristen Bell have signed on to star. 87North and Universal will release the Christmas actioner on December 4th, 2026.

David Harbour will of course be back as the violence-inclined Santa Claus. Also returning for the sequel are Pat Casey and Josh Miller, who write the screenplay, and producers Kelly McCormick and David Leitch.

In the first film, Harbour begins his story as a bitter, drunk, stab-happy Santa Claus ready to turn his back on Christmas for good, until a little girl convinces him otherwise. Whether Violent Night 2 will pick up where we left off, or whether something will have happened to make Santa murderous again, is anyone’s guess.

In 2022, Wirkola said in an interview that he and the writers were already speaking about a sequel that could incorporate ideas they couldn’t fit into the first movie. “We don’t see the North Pole, we don’t see Mrs. Claus and we don’t see the elves,” the director said. “There were also a few ideas that we loved in the script, but we had to cut them because we couldn’t afford to shoot them.” Screenwriter Miller also expressed that the sequel would have “western influence” and that Miracle on 34th Street would be an inspiration for the film.

Daniela Melchior is best known for her role as Ratcatcher in The Suicide Squad and Road House, while Kristen Bell led the acclaimed comedy series The Good Place, as well as Veronica Mars.

Plot details are being kept close to the vest, and production on The Young People is expected to begin this autumn in Vancouver.

Neon, which has a first-look deal with Perkins, will co-finance the film with Lyrical Media for a US cinema release. Perkins is producing with his partner Chris Ferguson for Phobos and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones for Range.

Perkins’ recent films include Longlegs, which he followed up with the Stephen King adaptation The Monkey, starring Theo James. His next project, Keeper, stars Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland and will be released on November 14th.

Per the synopsis, “Keeper follows a couple as they escape for a romantic anniversary weekend at a secluded cabin. When Malcolm (Sutherland) suddenly returns to the city, Liz (Maslany) finds herself isolated and in the presence of an unspeakable evil that unveils the cabin’s horrifying secrets.”

Stay tuned for any further crumbs of info we might have about Perkins’ upcoming projects!

MORTAL KOMBAT II Gets Pushed Back To 2026

Mortal Kombat II, which was meant to be released in just two months on October 24th, 2025, has now been pushed back by Warner Bros. to May 15th, 2026. Simon McQuoid’s sequel movie will now be part of next year’s summer season, with hopes that the actioner will find the same success that Final Destination: Bloodlines did in a similar spot.

Based on the popular video game franchise from the 1990s, the film stars Karl Urban as Johnny Cage, alongside Adeline Rudolph, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Ludi Lin, Mehcad Brooks, Tati Gabrielle, Lewis Tan, Damon Herriman, Chin Han, Tadanobu Asano, Joe Taslim and Hiroyuki Sanada.

Mortal Kombat II centres on a group of ragtag fighters who must defend Earth, and follows 2021’s Mortal Kombat. This time, the fan favorite champions, now joined by Johnny Cage himself, are pitted against one another in the ultimate, no-holds barred, gory battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders.

McQuoid directs the film from a screenplay by Jeremy Slater, based on the game created by Ed Boon and John Tobias. McQuoid also produces with Todd Garner, James Wan, Toby Emmerich and E. Bennett Walsh.

Though you’ll be having to wait longer than planned to see Johnny Cage in action, you can still watch the previously released trailer below:

Emma Stone Is Accused Of Being Alien In BUGONIA Trailer

Emma Stone stars in Bugonia trailer from yorgos lanthimos

Jesse Plemons thinks Emma Stone is an alien (understandable) in the trailer for Bugonia, the actress’ latest collaboration with director Yorgos Lanthimos.

Focus Features released the trailer online this week, just as the film premiered at the Venice Film Festival. The science-fiction black comedy follows two conspiracy-obsessed young men who kidnap high-powered CEO Michelle Fuller (Stone) after they become convinced that she is an alien who intends to destroy Earth.

In addition to Stone and Plemons, Bugonia also stars Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias and Alicia Silverstone.

The project is produced by Ed Guiney, Andrew Lowe, Yorgos Lanthimos, Emma Stone, Ari Aster, Lars Knudsen, Miky Lee, and Jerry Kyoungboum Ko. The screenplay is by Will Tracy. The film is said to have been inspired by the 2003 Korean sci-fi film Save The Green Planet! from director Jang Joon-hwan.

“Again, unfortunately, not much of the dystopia in this film is very fictional,” explained Lanthimos when presenting the film. “A lot of it is very reflective of the real world. If anything, this film says this is happening now… Actually, it became more relevant as time went by,” he continued, referring to the fact that he first encountered the screenplay three years ago. “Humanity is facing a reckoning very soon. People need to choose the right path, otherwise, I don’t know how much time [left] with everything that’s happening in the world, with technology, AI, with wars, climate change, the denial of all these things and how desensitised we’ve become to all of these things. [The movie] is more of a reflection of our times and hopefully it will trigger people to think about what’s happening today, all around the world.”

The film earned a six-minute standing ovation at Venice. Bugonia follows Stone’s starring role in Poor Things — also directed by Yorgos Lanthimos — in late 2023 and Kinds of Kindness last year.

Bugonia releases in cinemas from October 24th, 2025. Watch the trailer below:

To join this storytelling galaxy with such brilliant collaborators onscreen and off, is the thrill of a lifetime.”

KNIGHT RIDER Feature In The Works From COBRA KAI Creators

The creators of Cobra Kai are in talks to bring Knight Rider, the 1980s action drama about a talking car, to the big screen. Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg and Josh Heald are in early talks to write the screenplay, with Hurwitz and Schlossberg in early talks to direct. THR broke the news.

The trio will also produce via their Counterbalance Entertainment production company. Kelly McCormick and David Leitch are producing through their banner 87North, whilst Gary Barber and Chris Stone will produce through Spyglass.

Knight Rider, which aired from 1982 to 1986, was a cult series of the era. David Hasselhoff famously starred as Michael Knight, a detective who becomes an agent for the Foundation for Law and Government (FLAG) and is partnered with KITT, a modified, artificially intelligent and indestructible Trans Am. Together, they fought crime in their city.

Later revivals came in the form of TV movies Knight Rider 2000 and Knight Rider 2010 (released in 1991 and 1994, respectively), a 2008 Knight Rider movie, and the syndicated Team Knight Rider series in 1997.

A feature reboot has been in development for some time, with a previous version of the project landing a script by Kevin Burrows and Matt Mider. No word yet on what shape this new script might take.
