The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will be Mario's next crack at the big screen

Nintendo just dropped a trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the sequel to the immensely popular The Super Mario Bros. Movie. This is good timing, given that tomorrow is officially the mustached plumber's 40th birthday. It hits theaters on April TK, 2026. We've known this movie was coming for a while now, and even had an approximate release date. Now we have a trailer and it's a doozy. Shared during today's Nintendo Direct livestream event, the footage shows several deep-cut characters and

Fede Alvarez Won’t Direct the ‘Alien: Romulus’ Sequel

After Alien: Romulus proved to be a success for 20th Century Studios, grossing $350 million globally, sequel plans were quickly announced, with its director, Fede Alvarez, thought to be returning. Turns out that’s not entirely the case, as Too Fab reports that Alvarez will not be coming back to direct the Alien franchise follow-up feature after all. The filmmaker attended the red carpet for Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood and shared, “We just finished the script, actuall

‘The Black Phone 2’ Trailer Sees Ethan Hawke Call Collect Supernatural Vengeance

Universal Pictures and Blumhouse just released a new trailer for the sequel to Ethan Hawke’s terrifying horror film, Black Phone 2. The short story that the original movie is based on, written by Joe Hill (son of Stephen King), follows a masked serial killer who abducts children, locks them in his basement, and torments them. That is until one kid, Finney (Mason Thames), uses a black rotary phone to speak to the ghosts of The Grabber’s victims and hatches a plan to escape, kill the Grabber, and

Karl Urban is a wise-cracking Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat II

Karl Urban takes a break from The Boys to play a washed-up Johnny Cage in the trailer for Mortal Kombat II, a sequel to 2021's Mortal Kombat reboot and the fourth live-action film in the franchise based on the 1990s video game series. It comes one day after Warner Bros. released a (very entertaining) fake trailer for a new in-universe, faux 1990s Johnny Cage movie, Uncaged Fury. (Cage's prior fake film credits apparently include Cool Hand Cage, Hard to Cage, and Rebel Without a Cage.) The first

The Spell Is Still Working: Lee Pace Has Joined ‘Practical Magic 2’

Practical Magic 2 is already sky-high on our list of most-anticipated 2026 releases. The 1998 original follows the romantic misadventures of the witchy Owens sisters, played by Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman—and has since become a Halloween-adjacent cult classic. It maybe didn’t need a sequel, but Hollywood knows that fans have long wanted one. And now we know more of the names joining Bullock and Kidman this time around. First things first: bringing back Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest—th

Blumhouse Thinks It May Have Overestimated M3GAN’s Versatility

After the smash success of 2022’s M3GAN, it was easy to assume the inevitable sequel would do the same. But M3GAN 2.0 has yet to catch on like its predecessor, so far yielding disappointing box-office returns and putting talk of a trilogy, not to mention a M3GAN cinematic universe beyond next year’s sexbot spin-off, SOULM8TE, in doubt. In a new interview, Blumhouse boss Jason Blum shared his thoughts on the disappointing situation. On The Town podcast (via the Wrap), Blum ticked off the reasons

‘The Old Guard 2’ Is a Tender Sophomore Stretched Thin by Sequel Syndrome

After years of production delays, Netflix and Skydance are finally poised to release The Old Guard 2, the Charlize Theron-led sequel to the 2020 adaptation of Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernández’s Image Comics series. Directed by Victoria Mahoney, the sequel reunites its immortal mercenary found family for another globe-trotting mission. Unfortunately, this time around, their greatest threat isn’t its new immortal big bad and its long-awaited grudge match. It’s the sequel’s narrative inertia that’s

The First ‘Spaceballs 2’ Teaser Confirms a Crucial Returning Star

Mel Brooks is really taking this Spaceballs thing seriously. In the original film, one of his characters, Yogurt, was a parody of Yoda, the Star Wars Jedi Master who lived to be almost 1,000. Well, now we know Brooks has been going all in on character preparation and, at the age of 99, will officially reprise Yogurt for the long-awaited sequel, set for release 40 years after the original. Here’s a hilarious teaser making it all official. I told you we’d be back pic.twitter.com/RnoklPqBX6 — Mel

There's a Steven Universe sequel series in the works at Prime Video

It's been five years since the Steven Universe saga ended, via a final season and movie that took the story into the future. Now, it's coming back, according to a report by Deadline . Prime Video is working on a sequel series, with franchise creator Rebecca Sugar in tow as an executive producer (and hopefully as a songwriter.) This doesn't look to be a straight sequel series, in that the focus is shifting away from Steven, the Crystal Gems and Beach City. Instead, the tentatively-titled Steven
