Get Your First Look at Nicholas Cage's Spider-Man Noir TV Show
Attack the Block's long-awaited sequel may finally see release next year. Andy Muschietti is heading to space for his next movie. Plus, get a new look at the live-action Lilo & Stitch's alien besties Jumbaa and Pleakley. Spoilers now!
Drift
Deadline reports Andy Muschietti is attached to direct Drift, a 'grounded science fiction' film described as 'Gravity meets Arrival.' Based on an unpublished short story by Ben Queen (Cars 2, The Addams Family 2) and Jason Shuman (Acapulco), the story concerns 'a once-legendary, now fallen from grace shuttle commander' who 'is pulled into a high-stakes hostage exchange in space to get his boy back from captors who are not from Earth.'
Dead Howling
Deadline also report Ryan Kwanten, Temuera Morrison and Tom Burlinson will star in Dead Howling, a post-apocalyptic werewolves vs zombies movie from director John V. Soto filming in Australia this summer. The story concerns Carter, 'a lone werewolf fighting for survival in a world overrun by zombies, [who] takes vengeance for his murdered family by spending his days hunting down the living dead for sport. He finds new purpose after saving the lives of two humans seeking a rumored sanctuary for survivors. Despite Carter now joining them on their journey as a powerful ally, the group faces new and unimaginable danger when they discover that their undead enemy is beginning to evolve.'
Attack the Block 2
John Boyega provided an update on Attack the Block 2 during his recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast (via Comic Book).
I've read it, man. It's cool, bro. It's cool. Yeah, I've read it. Joe Cornish has done a phenomenal job on his draft. And we're just cooking it to make it right for everyone. And we obviously need more money for those aliens. We want it to look really good for that 2026 crowd. But for us, it's just about developing the story, and making sure Moses and the rest of the characters that we have left are fully hashed out before bringing it out and going to shoot. But I'm very passionate and very willing that we will shoot Attack the Block 2. It will happen. You're going to have to see, but the story is crazy. I've got to get in the gym, Jesus.

Jurassic World Rebirth
Entertainment Weekly has a quartet of new images from Jurassic World Rebirth.
Resurrection Road
Six black soldiers in the Civil War are tasked with infiltrating a fort manned by Confederate vampires in the trailer for Resurrection Road, available On Demand this June 6.
Bleeding
In a near-future where vampire blood is sold as a narcotic, a pair of desperate junkies 'break into what seems like an abandoned house—only to find a mysterious girl locked inside' in the trailer for Bleeding, coming to Screambox this June 10.
Spider-Noir
Amazon has released the first image from its Spider-Man Noir TV series, coming next year.
Carrie
In conversation with Comic Book, Matthew Lillard stated Mike Flanagan's Carrie TV series 'has found a way to make [the story] relevant right now' and 'speaks to what we're all experiencing.'
The exciting thing for me here is that he crafted an idea based around what we're experiencing right now in the world, and shared that with Stephen King, and then Stephen King was like, 'Oh, that's a great idea.' So, it's Stephen King's first published book, it has gone through all these iterations. I think the exciting thing here is that Mike has found a way to make it relevant right now, and I think that it speaks to what we're all experiencing, and so I think that that's going to make a difference.
Doctor Who
Finally, the Doctor and Belinda crash the Interstellar Song Contest in a trailer for this week's episode of Doctor Who.

I Didn't Have Jonathan Bailey Comparing Wicked To ‘Independence Day' On My Bingo Card, But I Honestly Think It Sounds Intense
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. If you like Bridgerton alum Jonathan Bailey, the 2025 movie schedule is a boon for the senses. Not only will he be showing up in the summer blockbuster Jurassic World Rebirth, but he'll of course be returning to the role of the dreamy Fiyero - as we saw in Wicked: For Good's first trailer. Filming Jon M. Chu's adaptation of the Broadway legend was always going to be quite the experience; but I never thought the man would compare it to Roland Emmerich's Independence Day - though it makes total sense. Feel free to agree or disagree, courtesy of Mr. Bailey offering these recollections in a GQ profile: Being slightly off the M1 in Munchkinland, with Ari [that's Ariana Grande to you and I] singing a beautiful mezzo soprano, and then seeing cars pulling up on the hard shoulder trying to record it. And then seeing men in the sky, [which] turned out to be microlights and drones. It was like Independence Day. Ok, so it's not the residents of Munchkinland running from an exploding Empire State Building; but the comparison still stands. Imagining Wicked's award-nominated artistry being staged in a field in England, with all the bells and whistles, must have been exhilarating. Though that big about the drones and microlights may be the kicker, as the right time of day could make those look like something not of this Earth. It certainly sounds akin to watching Independence Day in the '90s, and being blown away by something like Bill Pullman's stirring, title-dependent speech. Only Jonathan Bailey was much closer to the action than a Peacock subscription would get you, and he technically got to watch a free Ariana Grande performance. Either way, there's a potential for fun Jeff Goldblum stories to crop up. Peacock TV: from $7.99 a month/$79.99 a yearIf you can't wait until November to rejoicify in the release of Wicked: For Good, a Peacock subscription could have you flying high until then! With access to Wicked, as well as some documentaries and November's upcoming live event, it'd be very hard to bring you down! And all it costs is as little as $7.99 a month, with the option to upgrade to premium ad-free Deal The reaction to the first half of Universal's two-part musical epic certainly made a similar impression to the debut of that 1996 sci-fi disaster epic. With Wicked banking various box office milestones, and even inspiring audiences to sing along (much to the chagrin of some parties), it was a movie truly of the moment. Wicked: For Good isn't due out until November 21st, but don't forget that you can stream Wicked on Peacock. As for Jonathan Bailey, he'll be next seen in Jurassic World Rebirth, which hits theaters on July 2nd - much sooner than what we know about Bridgerton Season 4, which will see him return to Netflix at some point in 2026.

‘Ballerina' targets $35 million opening in box-office clash with ‘Lilo & Stitch'
This weekend sees the debut of just one major new film: Lionsgate's From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, which is set to claim the top spot at the box office. The spinoff, starring Ana de Armas (and with franchise star Keanu Reeves making a brief appearance) is projected to open with strong numbers — with estimates ranging from $35 million to $40 million — as it battles Disney's Lilo & Stitch for first place. Directed by Len Wiseman, the action-packed film earned approximately $4 million during previews, according to Deadline, and its performance is likely to benefit from the increasing popularity of the John Wick series. Early reviews have been positive, with the movie holding a 72 percent "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 145 reviews and an impressive audience score of 93 percent. Ballerina is set between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4, following de Armas' character, Eve Macarro — a dancer who transforms into an assassin and seeks revenge for her father's death. More from GoldDerby Patricia Arquette's 'Severance' character talks like that because 'she thinks that's what power sounds like' 'Brilliant Minds' creator Michael Grassi on how his love of Oliver Sacks inspired NBC's new medical drama The Making of 'The Eyes of the World: From D-Day to VE Day': PBS variety special 'comes from the heart' Elsewhere, Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme, distributed by Focus Features, expands to 1,500 theaters across North America after a limited release last weekend. The quirky, star-studded comedy is expected to land in fourth place, trailing Lilo & Stitch and Paramount's Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. Meanwhile, Sony's Karate Kid: Legends rounds out the weekend's top five. Gold Derby readers predict that Ballerina will win the June 6-8 weekend with between $25 million and $50 million domestically. Lilo & Stitch is the runner-up selection of our oddsmakers. NEW RELEASES Director: Len Wiseman Distributor: Lionsgate An assassin trained in the traditions of the Ruska Roma organization sets out to seek revenge after her father's death. The action thriller, starring Ana de Armas, Anjelica Huston, and Gabriel Byrne (with a cameo by Keanu Reeves), has a running time of two hours, five minutes, and is rated R. Ballerina is certified "fresh" with a 72 percent score per the aggregated critic reviews at Rotten Tomatoes; "mixed" reviews compiled by Metacritic resulted in an overall score of 59 percent. BOX-OFFICE PREDICTIONS Ballerina is poised to pirouette its way to the top of the box office with an estimated opening of $35 million to $40 million. This would mark the third-best debut in the franchise, surpassing John Wick's $14 million in 2014 and John Wick: Chapter 2's $30.4 million in 2017. However, it falls short of overtaking John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019) and John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023), which opened to $56.8 million and $73.8 million, respectively. Meanwhile, Lilo & Stitch, which recently passed the $300 million milestone, is expected to hold steady in second place with earnings between $30 million and $35 million. In third place, Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning is projected to add $15 million to its total. The Phoenician Scheme is expected to move up to fourth place with $9 million, while Karate Kid: Legends will round out the top five with an estimated $8 million in its second week. Here are Gold Derby's predictions box-office rankings for the top five: 1. Ballerina 2. Lilo & Stitch 3. Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning 4. The Phoenician Scheme 5.

Patricia Arquette's ‘Severance' character talks like that because ‘she thinks that's what power sounds like'
Even after two seasons of Severance, Harmony Cobel (Patricia Arquette) remains an enigma. The woman occasionally known as 'Mrs. Selvig' seems like the ultimate example of Lumon's management style, and yet she herself is constantly at loggerheads with her superiors. She apparently invented the severance procedure as we know it, and yet helps Mark Scout (Adam Scott) break through it. Many mysteries remain as Severance fans look forward to Season 3, but certain things about Cobel can be explained in the meantime. In a new interview with Gold Derby, Arquette says that she is responsible for both the character's look and her mannered way of speaking. More from GoldDerby 'Ballerina' targets $35 million opening in box-office clash with 'Lilo & Stitch' 'Brilliant Minds' creator Michael Grassi on how his love of Oliver Sacks inspired NBC's new medical drama The Making of 'The Eyes of the World: From D-Day to VE Day': PBS variety special 'comes from the heart' READ: 'When I was first thinking of building that character, I saw her with silver hair, white hair,' Arquette says. 'I felt like her hair should be a little older than she is. But also I wanted to have this affected, weird voice. I liked this idea that she's got this affected voice because she thinks that's what power sounds like. That's what these middle managers sound like. It's probably something she heard in school and you hear it a little bit from her aunt when you see the squalor she actually grew up in. So this is a made-up voice, a voice of success, and it's become this corporate sound.' Arquette continues, 'there's also an inscrutability when you're raised in an organization or structure [like Lumon], where you're not supposed to feel your feelings. You're supposed to swallow your feelings and you're not supposed to tell everyone what's going on or you'll get in trouble. You learn to play things close to the vest. I don't think Harmony's ever been really safe in her life anywhere or with anyone. And then when we went to Salt's Neck, it was like, 'Wow, this is a very Bergman-looking color palette, with actual icebergs floating by.' If your character looked like a piece of nature, she would look like an iceberg.' Cobel was not as prominent in Severance Season 2 as she was in Season 1, since she lost her position both at Lumon and as Mark's next-door neighbor. But she was able to take the spotlight in the episode 'Sweet Vitriol,' in which viewers followed Cobel back to her hometown of Salt's Neck — once the location of a major Lumon ether factory, now a left-behind wasteland full of poverty and addiction. Among other things, the episode revealed that Cobel basically invented the severance chip, despite getting little credit for it. It seems like a paradox that the Lumon employee responsible for its most important technology also defies upper management as often as Harmony does, but Arquette says that paradox is central to Severance. 'It may seem like a perversion, but honestly, her interior unresolved story informs the creation of the severance chip,' Arquette says. 'She's trying to prove something through this thing. There is a synchronicity between the severance chip and her interior landscape. They are very closely wedded to each other, these two things. It's not accidental.' The epidemic of ether addiction that pervades present-day Salt Neck is also no accident. Think of it, Arquette says, like an earlier attempt at separating people's work memories from the rest of their life. 'Ben [Stiller] wanted this rotting factory town,' Arquette says of Salt Neck. 'This is an early version of Lumon's attempt to create a corporate town, and these are the vestiges left over after the poisoning of the water and the ether factory and everyone becoming addicts. In a weird way, ether is an early form of severance. It's like the drug of forgetting. So what if you could forget, like with ether, but without the drug? Well then you would need a chip, and that's severance.'
