Summer 2025 preview: The most anticipated new movies and music
Summer Movies
"Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning" (Out now)
Tom Cruise runs, Tom Cruise hangs onto airplanes in flight, Tom Cruise fights bad guys and AI, Tom Cruise saves the world …? Yes, the latest installment in the "Mission: Impossible" franchise ups the impossible part.
"F1" (June 27)
Brad Pitt, really fast cars, Javier Bardem as a Formula One team leader – that's kinda all you need to hear. And at an advance screening held in Monaco, auto racers like Lewis Hamilton (an advisor on the film), Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz waved a checkered flag.
"Jurassic World Rebirth" (July 2)
Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali find themselves on a top-secret mission that puts them toe-to-toe with giant, hungry reptiles – not where you want to be! But they're on the hunt for the key to a potentially life-saving drug, so we get to watch Big Pharma take on Big Dinosaurs. The seventh "Jurassic Park" film is directed by Gareth Edwards ("Rogue One"), and written by David Koepp (co-writer with Michael Crichton of the very first entry in the series).
"Superman" (July 11)
David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan take over the roles of Clark Kent/Superman and Lois Lane, in the latest iteration of the classic comic book hero. This time out, Supe has a super dog, too!
"The Naked Gun" (August 1)
It could be called "Son of Naked Gun," as Liam Neeson plays Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., following in the awkward footsteps of Police Squad legend Frank Drebin (the late, great Leslie Nielsen). And don't be confused that the star of such violent revenge films as "Taken" and "Cold Pursuit" is headlining the cast of this comic reboot – that's kind of the point, as when he kicks butt disguised as a little schoolgirl.
"The Roses" (August 29)
Warren Adler's novel, which was the basis of the darkly comic Michael Douglas-Kathleen Turner film "The War of the Roses," is reimagined in Jay Roach's equally dark comedy starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman as a successful couple coming apart at the seams. The cast also includes Andy Samberg, Allison Janney, and Kate McKinnon.

Lorde: "Virgin" (June 27)
The New Zealand singer-songwriter's new album (her first since 2021's "Solar Power") is colored with the ambience of her new home, New York City – songs she described to Rolling Stone as rugged, vulnerable, and messy. The lead single, a breakup anthem called "What Was That," she accurately calls "a banger."
Lorde performs "What Was That," from the album "Virgin":
Laufey: "A Matter of Time" (August 22)
The Icelandic singer-songwriter's third album follows her 2023 "Bewitched" (a Grammy-winner for best traditional pop vocal album).

It's like we were the two that were the best for each other.' And he said, 'We only introduce love on this show to have it fail,' ' Remar adds. 'So at least he said that there was love there,' he continues. 'And he said, 'But it failed and you're not coming back.' ' When asked if he would ever consider returning to the series, Remar said he'd honestly be pretty surprised if he'd be asked back. 'I am sure it'll be difficult to say no, but I'm an old guy. They're not going to call me,' he says. The Oppenheimer actor recently reprised his role as Harry Morgan — Dexter's late adoptive father — on the Dexter reboot series, Dexter: Resurrection.

AEW All In Texas 2025 Results As Hangman Adam Page Dethrones Jon Moxley
Hangman Adam Page vs. Jon Moxley in a Texas Death Match. Hangman Adam Page beat Jon Moxley in a bloody and emotional main event at AEW All In Texas. Hangman Adam Page entered this high-stakes match as a massive -850 favorite over Jon Moxley as AEW entered the doorstep of a Great White Hope. With help from friends, enemies and old faces, Hangman Adam Page brought the AEW Championship home. Jon Moxley Vs. Hangman Adam Page And Everything That Happened Hangman Adam Page was played out by a live whistling theme. He then walked out to his old theme music to an enormous pop. Jon Moxley entered Globe Life Stadium in what Jim Ross called a Redneck Chariot. The chariot housed the Deathriders in the bed of the truck. There were two barbed wired tables outside of the ring. Fittingly, there hasn't been a single table bump all night. Justin Roberts clarified that the only way to win a Texas Death Match was by knockout or submission. There was a small sign that read 'If Mox Wins We Riot!' Hangman is 4-1 in Texas Death Matches, the best record in AEW history. Hangman Adam Page pulled out a fork. After being trapped in a Triangle choke, Hangman stabbed Mox in the head with the fork, immediately bloodying Jon Moxley. As Jim Ross reminisced about calling Texas Death Matches from back in the day, Excalibur cut him off as Moxley attepmted to strangle Hangman with barbed wire IRL. Moxley succeeded in a second attempt to bloody Hangman with barbed wire. Shafir followed up by biting at Hangman's forehead. Five minutes into this match—and 15 minutes into WWE SNME, and both combatants were bleeding. Marina Shafir brought out glass bottles in a bucket. She stomped shards of glass throughout the corner of the ring. Jon Moxley rubbed the glass in Hangman's face. Mox then dragged Mox's body through the broken glass as fans chanted 'you sick F!' Fans rallied behind Hangman as Moxley set up two chairs sitting nest to one another perpendicularly. Moxley wanted a powerbomb, a bloody Hangman headbutted his way out. Hangman turned the chairs around back-to-back and hit a powerbomb at the apex of the chairs. Moxley hit multiple clotheslines on Moxley before Wheeler Yuta hit The Hangman in the back with a steel chair. Page no-sold it and knocked out Yuta. Hangman hit the Angel's Wings on Moxley—an homage to Christopher Daniels—but did not get the full 10 count. Marina Shafir Jumped on the back of Hangman as he attempted the Buckshot Lariat. Hangman answered with a Cowboy driver through the table. Hangman continued like Mario with the Super Star and hit a Deadeye on Moxley. Yuta and Castagnoli finally cut Page off with a two-on-one advantage. Ospreay came to Hangman's aid, but was pillmanized by the Deathriders. This brought out a stretcher for Ospreay. A bloody Mox followed up with a suplex through two barbed-wired tables. The announce team talked about how shocked they were with the amount of blood in this match, and Excalibur—frustrated—lectured them about how this is exactly what they should expect in a Texas Death Match. Mox trapped Hangman Adam Page in a Bulldog Choke. Hangman beat the count by one. After taking a Death Rider through a steel chair, Hangman beat the 10 count again. As Moxley and the Death Riders prepared to finished off Page, Darby Allin appeared from atop Mount Everest. Darby said he was going to take everything from him. This brought out Daniel Bryan, who attacked the Deathriders. Darby Allin ascended from the top of the Globe Life Field to a huge pop. Moxley looked like he had seen a ghost. Hangman hit two Buckshot Lariats and a Deadeye through the table. The referee counted to nine and Marin Shafir pulled Moxley to his feet. Shafir flipped off Hangman, and the Young Bucks hit the ring with a double superkick. Moxley and Shafir brought out a bed of nails to a big reaction. Moxley hit a Stomp on the bed of nails followed by a Paradigm Shift on the nails. Page barely answered the 10-count yet again. Moxley asked Shafir for the key to the briefcase. Shafir was handcuffed to the timekeepers table by Prince Nana. This brought out Swerve Strickland, who knocked out both Young Bucks with the chain Hangman gave him at Collision. Swerve gave Hangman his chain back in a peace offering, and Hangman lynched Jon Moxley with the chain. Hangman hit a Buckshot Lariat onto the bed of nails. Hangman lynched Moxley again, who submitted to the biggest pop of the night. Hangman revealed the vintage AEW World Championship for a great moment.

Goldberg Reveals Specific Treatment That's Allowing Him To Have One Last Match
Goldberg will enter the squared circle one more time next month to face Gunther at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event. But at 58 years old, how is he pulling this off? WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg was a recent guest on Carcast. When asked about his training regime heading into his final match, Goldberg revealed that this match with Gunther wouldn't be possible without stem cell treatments. Advertisement 'I've worked my ass off since January. Actually, since February. I planned it out, I did the stem cells, I knew I had a number of weeks off. Let's be perfectly honest, if a Bioxcellerator didn't hook me up with the stem cells, I don't think I'd be able to be doing this,' Goldberg admitted. 'That was something that I strategically needed to place at the beginning so I could chill before slowly getting back into training and getting my shoulder back and hopefully getting my knee back and keeping my spine aligned. 'There's a lot that goes into it and I've got to be a human being along the way. I have a life to live and I have a family and I have responsibilities. There's a lot of things you've got to do at one time and again, I don't have anybody helping anymore. I've got my agents, but I don't have assistants and I don't have anybody working under the roof other than myself. It'll be a lull after this match because I won't be wrestling anymore.' [H/T: Fightful] READ MORE: Goldberg: Bully Ray Can Bite Me What do you make of Goldberg's comments? Are you excited to see him step into the ring one last time next month?
