‘Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse' Hitting Theaters in June 2027
Producer Phil Lord joined the stage along with directors Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson, and he explained that the film 'decided to break the boundaries of animation again with the epic conclusion of Miles Morales' story.' He also said that for the first time, it will be made specifically for large format screens, the first time Sony has done that on an animated film. Sony also showed a brief sizzle reel of some psychedelic and trippy footage.

'We needed to make sure we had the time to get it just right,' Lord said on the CinemaCon stage at Caesar's Colosseum in Las Vegas.
He said the film picks up literally the second where 'Across the Spider-Verse' left off on a cliffhanger, in which Miles Morales was a fugitive on the run from all the other Spider-Men across multiple universes and was the prisoner of his own self in a separate universe, who instead of becoming Spider-Man has now become the Prowler.
The last 'Spider-Verse' film, which was Oscar nominated after the original 'Into the Spider-Verse' film won the Best Animated Feature Oscar, grossed $690 million at the box office, and its follow-up was originally expected to open as early as 2024 as two halves of a single story, but after being undated for some time, audiences will have to wait even longer than expected.
Bob Persichetti was one of the co-directors on the original 'Into the Spider-Verse,' and Justin K. Thompson was a co-director on 'Across the Spider-Verse,' and the threequel brings the two of them together. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are producing the film.
Sony's presentation also included teasers for Danny Boyle's '28 Years Later,' which comes out this summer, and its follow-up '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,' which comes out January 2026, as well as Darren Aronofsky's new film 'Caught Stealing' and the rebooted 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.'

Sandra Bullock offers rare comments about Jennifer Aniston friendship
Sandra Bullock is breaking her silence. The ultra-private Oscar winner opened up about her friendship with "Friends" alum Jennifer Aniston in a Vanity Fair interview published Monday, Aug. 11. "We were from that time in the business where no one wanted the ladies to be friends — it was about pitting everyone against each other," Bullock told VF. "We were told we weren't supposed to do that — meaning like and respect and honor each other." Both Aniston and Bullock broke out the same year: The "Morning Show" star as Rachel Green when "Friends" premiered in September 1994 and the latter when the thriller "Speed" was released earlier that year. Jennifer Aniston says 'Friends' cast was already mourning Matthew Perry before death The pair bonded 15 years ago at a mutual friend's wedding with drinks and conversation flowing: "We were just like, 'Oh my God, we need to meet and cut loose.' And we did," Bullock said. The hangover was strong, according to Bullock, but their friendship is stronger. "I think her superpower is that she could very easily be hard, but she's incredibly open," Bullock said. "People want to know about her and understand where she is in life and want her to be happy." The pair have bonded over their love of interior design, humor and the fact that they both dated "The O.C." actor Tate Donovan. Now, the friends share holidays together, spring break trips and numerology readings. "You write down your birth date and, whether you believe in it or not, we're all scribbling down our thoughts and in it together," Bullock told VF. "Nothing is for her alone ever. Everything she does is for everyone else included." Despite her A-list status, Bullock lives a lowkey life compared to other Hollywood stars, rarely offering fans glimpes into her personal orbit. In August 2023, her longtime partner Bryan Randall "passed away peacefully" at 57 after a three-year battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, his family confirmed at the time in a statement to USA TODAY. The mom to son Louis and daughter Laila is set to star in her first film since 2022 in next year's "Practical Magic 2." The interviews for Vanity Fair's September issue cover story mention fellow celebs that Aniston counts as good friends, ranging from Bullock, Jason Bateman and Jimmy Kimmel to her ex-husband Brad Pitt's fellow ex Gwyneth Paltrow.

'Shrek 5' Receives Delayed Release Date
Summary The release ofShrek 5has been pushed back half a year to mid-2027, marking the second time the highly anticipated sequel has been delayed. While this news may be disappointing for fans, the move appears to be a calculated and strategic decision byUniversalandDreamWorksto ensure the film's success in a fiercely competitive box office landscape. The original December 2026 release date was set to place the film in a crowded holiday season, forcing it to compete directly with blockbuster heavyweights such asMarvel'sAvengers: Doomsday and 20th Century Animation'sIce Age 6. Rather than battling for family audiences during a period of intense competition, the new June 30, 2027 slot positionsShrek 5to dominate the lucrative summer movie season, a window that has historically been very successful for animated family films. The new date sees the fifth film open just less than a week after Sony's anticipated animatedSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Versefilm. Despite the delay, all other key elements of the project remain on track. The beloved core cast ofMike Myers(Shrek),Eddie Murphy(Donkey) andCameron Diaz(Princess Fiona) are all confirmed to be returning. The film will also introduce a new character voiced by Zendaya, who joins the franchise as Shrek and Fiona's daughter. With production moving forward and a clear path now set, the shift to summer 2027 seems less like a setback and more like a tactical play to make sure the film's return is as massive as the ogre himself.
