The sequel 'Godzilla x Kong: Supernova' begins production for 2027 release with new teaser

Express Tribune09-05-2025
Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have officially announced the title and production start of the next chapter in the Monsterverse. The highly anticipated sequel to Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire will be titled Godzilla X Kong: Supernova. The film is set to hit theaters on March 26, 2027.
Along with the title reveal, the studio released a short teaser video that offers a glimpse into the world of the film. The teaser shows an office for Monarch, the mysterious organization that tracks the giant, destructive Titans. In the video, a computer displays a hotline number, (240) MON-ARCH (240-666-2724), that fans can call for an automated message. The message from Monarch states: 'Thank you for calling the Monarch Community Support Hotline, your global resource for Titan response and relief. Your help reporting Titan sightings plays a critical role in keeping our world safe.'
Supernova marks the sixth movie in the Monsterverse series, following the success of 2024's Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire. The human cast will see Dan Stevens reprise his role as Trapper, with new additions including Kaitlyn Dever, Jack O'Connell, Delroy Lindo, Matthew Modine, Alycia Debnam-Carey, and Sam Neill.
The teaser also subtly references past films in the franchise, including a callback to Godzilla: King of the Monsters, with a call originating from Sedona, Arizona, the location where the spider-legged monster Scylla was awakened. Additionally, the video includes fun Easter eggs, such as a Godzilla bobblehead and a mug with the phrase 'Keep Kong and Carry On.'

The Batman sequel finally gets filming date

Robert Pattinson's return as Gotham's brooding vigilante is officially back on track, at least according to Warner Bros. Discovery's latest shareholder update. The studio announced that Matt Reeves' highly anticipated sequel, The Batman Part II, is slated to begin filming in spring 2026 with a theatrical release set for October 2027. The update marks the end of a prolonged silence around the project, which has experienced notable delays. Originally planned for 2026, the sequel's release was pushed back by a full year. While Warner Bros. attributes the lag to Reeves' perfectionism and creative process, fans and insiders continue to speculate on possible internal tensions and production hiccups that have yet to surface publicly. Adding fuel to the speculation is James Gunn's vocal defence of the delay. In several social media posts, the DC Studios co-chief dismissed online criticism, saying that large gaps between major film instalments are nothing new. 'Matt is committed to making the best film he possibly can,' Gunn insisted, warning fans to 'get off Matt's nuts'+ and let the creative process unfold without pressure. Despite Gunn's efforts to calm expectations, the lengthy production cycle has opened the door to rumours. Some claim Warner Bros. is strategically spacing out DC titles in light of its recent reboot efforts, while others believe internal reshuffling might be slowing development. Meanwhile, the recent promotional campaign for American Eagle raised eyebrows after it featured a model styled closely after Pattinson's Batman, a curious move that some interpreted as premature hype-building, given filming hasn't even started. Whether this was a calculated brand tie-in or an accidental leak of character imagery remains unknown. For now, fans can only wait. With the script reportedly complete and a two-year runway ahead, Warner Bros. is banking on The Batman Part II to anchor its evolving DC slate. But the buzz behind the scenes suggests not everyone is convinced this saga will unfold as smoothly as planned.

Margot Robbie in talks to star in Tim Burton's Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman remake

Margot Robbie is in early talks to star in and produce Tim Burton's remake of Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman for Warner Bros., continuing her successful collaboration with the studio following Barbie. If the deal is finalized, Robbie would produce the project through her production company, LuckyChap, alongside partners Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara. The film reimagines the 1958 cult sci-fi horror classic, in which a wealthy heiress grows to massive size after an alien encounter and seeks revenge on her unfaithful husband. Tim Burton, fresh off the success of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, is attached to direct and produce the film alongside Andrew Mittman and Tommy Harper. Kai Dolbashian is also on board as executive producer. Although Gillian Flynn wrote the first draft of the screenplay, she has since exited due to other commitments, and the team is now searching for a new writer. Robbie's final involvement is expected to depend on the next version of the script. Warner Bros. is reportedly eager to reunite with both LuckyChap and Burton, having seen major box office returns from Barbie and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Robbie's Barbie became the studio's highest-grossing film ever, while Burton's latest sequel earned $452 million worldwide. Robbie will next star in Wuthering Heights, directed by Emerald Fennell, and LuckyChap is also developing a new Ocean's Eleven prequel. The project marks another major genre venture for Warner Bros. and continues Robbie's reign as one of Hollywood's most in-demand talents.

'The Conjuring: Last Rites' trailer unveils final case for Ed and Lorraine Warren

Warner Bros. has unveiled the official trailer for The Conjuring: Last Rites, marking the final chapter of the long-running horror franchise. Set for theatrical release on September 5, 2025, the film will see Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson return as real-life paranormal investigators Lorraine and Ed Warren, closing a major era in modern supernatural cinema. Directed by Michael Chaves (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, The Nun II), Last Rites is based on the infamous Smurl haunting in West Pittston, Pennsylvania. The case, which allegedly involved intense poltergeist activity in the 1970s, captured national attention and was later chronicled in Robert Curran's book The Haunted. In the film, the Warrens assist the Smurl family in confronting a violent demonic presence that has plagued their home for years. The trailer teases classic Conjuring elements: eerie premonitions from Lorraine, Ed's growing concern, and escalating paranormal activity. A younger version of the Warrens also appears, hinting at the film's exploration of their early years. The movie stars Mia Tomlinson, Ben Hady, Elliot Cowan, Steve Coulter, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Shannon Kook, and Rebecca Calder. The script is written by Ian Goldberg, Richard Naing, and David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick. While this installment is being billed as the final film in The Conjuring series, Warner Bros. has not ruled out future projects. A prequel series is reportedly in development at HBO Max, which may explore the couple's earlier investigations — possibly including the Amityville haunting. With The Conjuring franchise grossing over $2.2 billion to date, Last Rites aims to deliver a memorable send-off to one of horror's most financially and culturally impactful series of the 21st century.
