Ten years ago, a then-unknown British actor showed up in “Captain America: Civil War” as a wide-eyed teenager in a homemade suit. Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark plucked him from obscurity, handed him something better, and set him loose on the MCU. Tom Holland hasn’t forgotten that, and he’s already thinking about paying it forward. Speaking to Empire magazine ahead of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” Holland said he’d like to be the one to introduce whoever takes over the franchise next — Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Woman, whoever Marvel eventually lands on. Speaking to the magazine, Holland said he’d like to…

The idea started simply enough. Emily Bennett told her husband and writing partner Justin Brooks she wanted to play “a woman of unshakeable faith.” Everything that follows in “Blood Shine” — the rituals, the hammer, the light worship, the spiraling descent into something far worse than simple belief — grew out of that one sentence. Dark Sky Films released the official trailer for the film on Wednesday, confirming an August 21 release across theaters, VOD, and digital platforms. Bloody Disgusting has the full details on the release, describing it as a “striking blend of arthouse sensibility and visceral folk horror”…

Season 4 of “Reacher” doesn’t even premiere until August 12. Prime Video isn’t waiting around. Deadline broke the news Wednesday that Jay Baruchel, Kevin Durand, Amanda Ip, and Ciara Bravo have all been confirmed as series regulars for Season 5, joining Alan Ritchson before the show’s current season has even aired its first episode. Production is already underway in Ontario, Canada, under the codename “HONCHO,” with Ritchson himself announcing the first day of shooting on social media last week. Baruchel’s casting carries a minor wrinkle worth noting. ScreenRant reported that he was originally set to appear in Season 4 before…

The trailer opens inside a glowing art museum, Thomas Crown walking slowly through its galleries. “I’ve been taking risks my entire life,” Michael B. Jordan says in voiceover. “But last night it was different. I felt alive.” What follows is two minutes of art heists, skyscraper scaling, hand-to-hand combat, and a cat-and-mouse romance — and the strongest argument yet that Amazon MGM’s most ambitious 2027 bet is going to pay off. Amazon MGM dropped the first official trailer for “The Thomas Crown Affair” on Wednesday, confirming a March 5, 2027 theatrical release. Jordan directs and stars — his second time…

The first reviews for “Tony” are in, and they agree on exactly one thing without exception: Dominic Sessa has arrived. Matt Johnson’s biopic, which imagines a 19-year-old Anthony Bourdain adrift the summer before he found his calling in a restaurant kitchen, hits theaters August 7, and critics who caught early screenings this week are treating Sessa’s performance as the film’s clear centerpiece. Variety went furthest, calling it Sessa’s first true movie-star turn and framing its review around a simple test: would the notoriously blunt, skeptical Bourdain himself have approved of a film about him? Variety’s verdict was that “Tony” clears…

Universal has found its Santa. Jennifer Aniston and Peter Dinklage are set to lead “Naughty,” the long-gestating holiday comedy from director Olivia Wilde, with Dinklage taking on the surprising role of Saint Nick himself, Deadline first reported. The setup, as Deadline describes it, follows Mallory (Aniston), a mother whose best shot at winning custody of her son from her “gaslighting trash-bag ex” is tracking down Santa Claus and convincing him to testify on her behalf at the divorce hearing. Universal originally pitched the project back in 2023 as something close to “Bridesmaids” set at the North Pole, and the script…

Sony’s first trailer for Jumanji: Open World arrived Tuesday, revealing a fresh premise that shifts the action beyond the game itself and into reality. game doesn’t stay inside the console? Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan are back as the trilogy’s larger-than-life avatars, but this time nobody gets pulled into the jungle. Instead, Jumanji breaks out into the real world, and the four of them end up stranded there alongside it. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the film opens in theaters Christmas Day, closing out director Jake Kasdan’s reboot trilogy after 2017’s “Welcome to the Jungle” and 2019’s…

The first trailer for “Children of Blood and Bone” doesn’t open with spectacle — it opens with a mother kneeling in the sand, telling her daughter a story. “Orïsha was once a land where magic flowed through our people,” Lashana Lynch’s Jumoke says to a young Zélie, before the footage jumps forward to reveal the fuller scope of Paramount’s fantasy adaptation, according to Deadline. Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood from a script she co-wrote with author Tomi Adeyemi, the film adapts Adeyemi’s 2018 novel of the same name, which debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list and…

The trilogy made $2.9 billion worldwide. Sean Astin’s total cut, across all three films, came to about $250,000 — and according to the actor, even that wasn’t enough to keep his house. In a new interview with The Guardian published Monday, Astin revisited the financial side of playing Samwise Gamgee in Peter Jackson’s According to The Wrap, he reflected on his time in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, saying the global fame from the role far exceeded the financial rewards he received.  Speaking to The Wrap, Astin revealed that the modest contract he negotiated ultimately forced him to sell…

Six months ago, Michael Johnston was best known to genre fans as a “Teen Wolf” alum with nearly fifteen years of steady, unglamorous work behind him. Then “Obsession” happened. Now Johnston is reportedly in early talks to join Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz in “The Mummy 4,” according to Variety. Johnston broke out earlier this year playing Bear, the lead in Curry Barker’s low-budget horror film “Obsession,” which has since become the highest-grossing movie ever made for under $1 million, pulling in more than $450 million worldwide, according to ComingSoon.net. That kind of return has reportedly put him on casting…
