456 Squid Game Season 3: Trailer, Theories & New Twists
Fans speculate Gi-hun will rise to mastermind, and new antagonists will emerge. Twists linked to unresolved season 2 cliffhangers will test characters' morals and alliances. Beguiling visuals and reimagined games promise a gripping journey. Unravel the complexities as you explore more layers of this captivating series. Key Moments From the Season 3 Trailer
The trailer for 456 Squid Game Season 3 quickly signals a darker, more suspenseful tone. Flash cuts of terrified players, masked guards, and eerie new games show that this season won't hold back. Each frame is packed with symbolism, hinting at psychological tension and rebellion.
The iconic red jumpsuits and eerie music return, but with a new sense of urgency. Visual cues like masked figures whispering and the change in lighting suggest a more complex power struggle. The trailer doesn't give away too much—but just enough to leave fans eager for more. Character Arcs Fans Are Watching Closely
Gi-hun's character arc may take a dramatic turn, evolving from survivor to someone fighting the system from within. His determination in the final episode of Season 2 suggested he's not done with the game just yet.
Other fan theories focus on Sae-byeok's younger sister possibly stepping into the spotlight, motivated by justice or revenge. With familiar faces returning and new ones joining, Season 3 might challenge viewers to question who the real players—and villains—are. Twists, Betrayals, and New Alliances
Season 3 is expected to challenge everything we thought we knew about trust inside the game. Players may form surprising alliances, but each bond could be a trap in disguise.
What seems like friendship may quickly unravel when survival is at stake. The emotional toll of betrayal will be front and center, and the new games are designed to test not only strength—but loyalty. Expect mind games to be just as dangerous as physical ones. Season 2's Cliffhangers Still Matter
The shocking ending of Season 2 left many questions unanswered—most notably Gi-hun's decision to stay behind instead of boarding that flight. His new purpose seems rooted in justice, possibly revenge.
Fans are speculating about the fate of key side characters and whether the system will begin to crack. We may see new alliances form out of the fallout from past betrayals. These unresolved threads set the stage for explosive plot turns in Season 3. Where to Watch 456 Squid Game Season 3 Online

2025's best movies (so far) include 'Sinners,' 'Sorry Baby' and 'One of Them Days'
Often the best movies of the second half of the year come almost preordained as the Oscars Industrial Complex revs into high gear. The first half, though, can offer more of a thrill of discovery. The first six months of 2025 have offered plenty of that, including indie gems, comedy breakouts and sensational filmmaking debuts. Here are our 10 favorites from the year's first half. The Ballad of Wallis Island 'The Ballad of Wallis Island' is the kind of charming gem that's easy to recommend to any kind of movie lover. It is goofy and friendly, has an armful of lovely folk songs, an all-timer of a rambling character, in Tim Key's eccentric and completely lovable Charles, Tom Basden's grumpy, too-cool straight man, and the always delightful Carey Mulligan. 'Wallis Island' is a film about letting go and moving on told with humor, wit and a big heart. Also hailing from the British Isles is the equally delightful 'Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl." (streaming on Peacock) —Bahr One of Them Days The big-screen comedy has been an almost extinct creature in recent years, but Lawrence Lamont's 'One of Them Days' gives me hope. Not only was this buddy comedy a surprise box-office hit, it is probably the exhibit A in the case of Keke Palmer Should Be in Everything. She and SZA, in her film debut, play Los Angeles housemates in a madcap race to make rent. (Streaming on Netflix) —Coyle Sorry, Baby There's a sequence in Eva Victor's delicate, considered and disarmingly funny directorial debut, 'Sorry, Baby' that kind of took my breath away. You know something bad is going to happen to Agnes, it's literally the logline of the film. You sense that her charismatic thesis adviser is a bit too fixated on her. The incident itself isn't seen, Victor places their camera outside of his home. Agnes goes inside, the day turns to evening and the evening turns to night, and Agnes comes out, changed. But we stay with her as she finds her way to her car, to her home and, most importantly to her friend, Lydie (Naomi Ackie). This is a film about what happens after the bad thing. And it's a stunner. (In theaters) —Bahr Black Bag Arguably the best director-screenwriter tandem this decade has been Steven Soderbergh and David Koepp. They were behind the pandemic thriller 'Kimi' and another standout of 2025, the ghost-POV 'Presence.' But their spy thriller-marital drama 'Black Bag,' starring Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett as married British intelligence agents, may be their best collaboration yet. It's certainly the one with the most delicious dialogue. How has it taken the movies this long to make a dinner scene with spies dosed with truth serum? (Streaming on Peacock) —Coyle Materialists Celine Song's 'Materialists ' might not be the film people wanted it to be, but it's the film they need in this land of high-end dating apps, designer dupes and everyone pretending to live like minor socialites on Instagram. A thoughtful meditation on money, worth, love and companionship, this is a film that upends everything we've come to think we want from the so-called romantic comedy (the idea of prince charming, the inexplicable wealth that's supposed to coexist with middle class mores). Lifestyle porn will always have a place in the rom-com machine, but this is a populist film, both modern and timeless, that reminds us that love should be easy. It should feel like coming home. 'Materialists' is simply the most purely romantic film of the year. (In theaters) — Bahr Sinners Not only does the wait go on for Ryan Coogler to make a bad movie, he seems to be still realizing his considerable talents. There are six months to go, still, in 2025, but I doubt we'll have a big scale movie that so thrillingly doubles (see what I did there) as a personal expression for its filmmaker as 'Sinners.' This exhilarating vampire saga is ambitiously packed with deep questions about community, Black entertainment, Christianity and, of course, Irish dancing. (Streaming on Max) —Coyle Pavements In a world of woefully straightforward documentaries and biopics about musicians, Alex Ross Perry decided to creatively, and a little chaotically, upend the form with his impossible-to-categorize film about the 90s indie band Pavement. Blending fact, fiction, archive, performance, this winkingly rebellious piece is wholly original and captivating, and, not unlike Todd Haynes's 'I'm Not There,' the kind of movie to turn someone who's maybe enjoyed a few Pavement and Stephen Malkmus songs into a fan. (In theaters, streaming on MUBI July 11) —Bahr April A rare and exquisite precision guides Dea Kulumbegashvili's rigorous and despairing second feature. Beneath stormy spring skies in the European country of Georgia, a leading local obstetrician (Ia Sukhitashvili) pitilessly works to help women who are otherwise disregarded, vilified or worse. This is a movie coursing with dread, but its expression of a deep-down pain is piercing and unforgettable. (Not currently available) —Coyle On Becoming a Guinea Fowl A visually, and thematically arresting marvel, Rungano Nyoni's darkly comedic, stylish and hauntingly bizarre film about unspoken generational trauma takes audiences to a place, I'm guessing, many have never been: A Zambian family funeral. And yet its truths ring universal, as the elder generation turns their heads from the awful truth that the dead man, Fred, was a predator and pedophile, while the younger wonders if things must stay as they are. (Streaming on HBO Max on July 4) --Bahr Friendship On TV, Tim Robinson and Nathan Fielder have been doing genius-level comedy. Fielder hasn't yet jumped into his own films, but, then again, it's hard to get an epic of cringe comedy and aviation safety like season two of 'The Rehearsal' into a feature-length movie. But in 'Friendship,' writer and director Andrew DeYoung brings Robinson, star of 'I Think You Should Leave," into well-tailored, very funny and dementedly perceptive movie scenario. He plays a man who awkwardly befriends a cool neighbor (Paul Rudd). While their differences make for most of the comedy in the movie, 'Friendship' — which culminates in a telling wink — is really about their similarities. (Available for digital rental) — Coyle

'Happy Gilmore 2' and 10 More New Netflix Movies You Shouldn't Miss in July
Netflix has two long-awaited sequels premiering in July, along with loads of other hits, from zombie movies to strange-but-true documentaries about some of the biggest news stories of our time. The biggest films to hit the streamer in July are definitely Happy Gilmore 2, the Adam Sandler film that arrives on July 25, and The Old Guard 2, the action fantasy that stars Charlize Theron, Veronica Van, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kiki Layne and Uma Thurman. Five new entries in the platform's popular Trainwreck documentary series are also arriving this month, along with new foreign films like Ziam, a Thai zombie horror, and Brick, a German thriller. Many other beloved movies, like Friday Night Lights and the original Karate Kid trilogy, are also coming soon. With a great selection of action, comedy, and some essential old faves, these are the best new titles coming to Netflix this July. Read more: The Hottest Movies Coming in 2025 Netflix Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel (July 1) Netflix's Trainwreck series continues this month with the release of five more films that recall some of the most dramatic moments and media sensations of the past few decades. July's first installment, The Cult of American Apparel, follows the rise and fall of the fashion brand that marketed American-made basics toward young, trendy consumers, and ultimately folded as a result of CEO Dov Charney's mismanagement and a series of sexual harassment accusations made against him. This month's other Trainwreck installments include The Real Project X (July 8), Balloon Boy (July 15), P.I. Moms (July 22) and Storm Area 51 (July 29). David James/Paramount Pictures Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (July 1) With Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning out now, there's no better time to go back and revisit some of the other great installments in the franchise like 2015's Rogue Nation, the first Mission: Impossible film to be directed by Tom Cruise's frequent collaborator Christopher McQuarrie and, some might say, one of the best films in the series. It's also the film that brings Cruise's Ethan Hunt together with ex-MI6 agent Ilsa Faust, played by series regular Rebecca Ferguson. The movie (as well as four others in the M:I franchise) arrives on Netflix July 1. Sony Pictures The Karate Kid (July 1) Mission: Impossible isn't the only franchise dropping on Netflix in July. You can also catch the original 1984 version of The Karate Kid and the film's two sequels when they drop on July 1. If you finished Cobra Kai and want to revisit the originals, with Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso and Pat Morita as Mr. Miyagi, now is the time. Universal Pictures Friday Night Lights (July 1) Peter Berg's 2004 drama Friday Night Lights spawned one of the great shows of the early aughts, but the film stands on its own as a sports classic. Billy Bob Thornton stars as Odessa, Texas, football coach Gary Gaines, whose high school team is more than just a sports club, it's the soul of the town. After the team's star player (Derek Luke) is injured, Gaines has to restore morale and spirit not just within his team, but in the entire community. Netflix The Old Guard 2 (July 2) Charlize Theron returns as Andy, the leader of a group of immortal mercenaries, in The Old Guard 2, which arrives on Netflix July 2. (The first film, a 2020 Netflix original, is also available on the platform.) In the sequel, Theron is joined by almost the entire cast of the original film, as well as another actor with serious action chops -- Uma Thurman. She plays Discord, a fellow immortal described as an "agent of chaos" that Andy is forced to battle. Netflix Ziam (July 9) You can't beat the log line of the new Netflix original movie Ziam: A Muay Thai fighter battles zombies in order to save his girlfriend. I'm in. Thai actor and musician Mark Prin plays Singh, a retired boxer whose plan to retire to his hometown and live a quiet life with his girlfriend Rin is disrupted when zombies take over the hospital where Rin works. If you like martial arts, action and stories of the infected undead, this is the bloody good time you're looking for. Netflix Brick (July 10) In the new German thriller Brick, Tim and Olivia (Matthias Schweighöfer and Ruby O. Fee) wake up one day to discover they're trapped in their apartment by an impenetrable brick wall that has shown up out of nowhere. It's a problem affecting their entire building, so they have to work together with their neighbors to find a way out of the mysterious fortress and figure out why it's there in the first place. Brick arrives on July 10. Netflix Tyler Perry's Madea's Destination Wedding (July 11) Tyler Perry's Madea's Destination Wedding is the 13th Madea film and the second to be produced for and streamed on Netflix. In the film, Perry returns as the outspoken Madea (as well as playing her nephew, Brian), as their family travels to the Bahamas for an unexpected, last-minute wedding. Netflix Almost Cops (July 11) Almost Cops is an upcoming Dutch comedy starring Jandino Asporaat and Werner Kolf as a crime-fighting odd couple. Asporaat plays Ramon, a special investigating officer in Rotterdam whose new colleague, Jack (Kolf), is an ex-detective who was demoted and reassigned to Ramon's team. Their relationship is prickly at first but after learning that they've both suffered the loss of a loved one -- by the same killer -- they forge a bond and go full buddy cop to nab their perp. Netflix Apocalypse in the Tropics (July 14) Apocalypse in the Tropics is the newest documentary film from Petra Costa, whose previous work includes 2019's Oscar-nominated film The Edge of Democracy (which is also available on Netflix). Like that film, Apocalypse in the Tropics takes viewers deep inside the often turbulent world of Brazilian politics, with the new film focusing on the rise of the Evangelical Christian influence among many of Brazil's leaders. The film, which was four years in the making, arrives July 14.

The Running Man trailer: Edgar Wright adds comedy to Stephen King's sci-fi dystopia
Edgar Wright is remaking The Running Man , and there's a trailer to prove it . Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1987 classic imagined a dystopian 2025 in which an authoritarian government forced cruelty on incarcerated people for entertainment. Now it's actually 2025 and, well, that doesn't sound that far off . Wright's version injects a bit of humor into the proceedings, while widening the stakes. The 1980s film, which was based on a novel by Stephen King, chronicled a game show in which prisoners had to survive in an abandoned section of Los Angeles while being chased by lethal assassins. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. This new movie keeps the basic premise, but expands the location. The participants have to survive 30 days in the outside world while "the entire nation" hunts them down. It looks like they can go anywhere in the country, but there are cameras, prying eyes and, of course, trained killers everywhere. The cast is pretty stacked. Glen Powell ( Top Gun: Maverick ) replaces Schwarzenegger and Colman Domingo stands in for the iconic Richard Dawson as the nefarious game show host. This is a big year for Domingo. He starred in the hit Netflix show The Four Seasons and is currently filming an upcoming Steven Spielberg film. The rest of the cast includes Josh Brolin, Michael Cera, William H. Macy, Jayme Lawson and Lee Pace. As for Edgar Wright, this is the guy behind classics like Shaun of the Dead , Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World . If anyone could put their own spin on a 1980s movie, it'd be Wright. The Running Man opens on November 7 in theaters.
