'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse' release date gets postponed; fans would have to wait for another three weeks
'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse' has been one of the most anticipated threequels, and now, the fans will have to wait a couple more weeks to gear up and watch the film. The release date has been postponed to July 25, 2027, from the previous calendar mark, July 4, 2027. Why did 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse' get postponed? According to Variety, 'Beyond the Spider-Verse' has been pushed by the creator to gain a better result in the domestic as well as international markets. The studio insiders revealed that a significant move was made to profit of the school-going fans, as only 65% of the students would have their summer vacations during the previous date, while all the schools are guaranteed to have a break on July 25. Additionally, the new date will have a better target audience internationally as well. The records from the previous two instalments suggest that the studios have worked their fingers to the bone in making as well as the success. The debut animated film 'Into the Spider-Verse' won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature, and the sequel 'Across the Spider-Verse' received a nomination in the category and managed to mint multiple dollars after its release. Together, the films have managed to make USD 1.08 billion through the graphical webs and compelling storyline, according to Deadline. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo About 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse' During the CinemaCon in March, the creator and producer, Phil Lord, dropped some bread crumbs for the audience and their anticipation.

Project Hail Mary author's other ‘sci-fi masterpiece' available to stream
Project Hail Mary is one of the most talked about upcoming blockbusters for next year, but there's another gripping science fiction thriller you should check out first Science fiction fans can stream this critically acclaimed blockbuster right now ahead of the new Ryan Gosling-led thriller, Project Hail Mary. The upcoming space epic will be hitting cinemas next March and a recent trailer has teased a high-octane thrill ride beyond the solar system. Starring Gosling as school science teacher Ryland Grace, he's plunged headfirst into a dangerous outer space mission to protect the Earth from catastrophe - but can he save his own life in the process? Helmed by the genius directors behind 21 Jump Street and Into the Spider-Verse, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, this jaw-dropping adaptation of Andy Weir's bestselling novel is guaranteed to be a must-watch cinematic experience. Sci-fi readers will already be well-acquainted with Weir as the author of the equally gripping novel The Martian, which was adapted into a major film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Matt Damon back in 2015. 10 years later, this nail-biting space survival thriller remains one of the most beloved sci-fi films of the century so far - and fans can stream it right now. Whether you've already experienced this riveting space adventure or it's somehow passed you by, make sure you stream The Martian on Disney+ at some point before March to get yourself well-prepared for Project Hail Mary. One five-star Google review calls it: 'An Absolute Masterpiece of Sci-Fi Cinema.' They went on: 'Adapted from Andy Weir's equally captivating novel, this film takes you on an exhilarating journey to the red planet, Mars. 'From the very first scene to the closing credits, The Martian is a thrilling and suspenseful rollercoaster of human ingenuity, resilience, and survival. 'Matt Damon's portrayal of Mark Watney, an astronaut stranded on Mars, is brilliant. His charismatic and witty performance keeps you engaged throughout the film.' Someone else raved: 'What makes The Martian so rewatchable is its tone. It's intense when it needs to be, but never loses that touch of optimism and wit that makes it so enjoyable. 'The soundtrack fits perfectly, the pacing keeps you engaged, and the visuals of Mars are stunning without ever feeling overwhelming. 'It's a film that makes space feel both terrifying and oddly comforting, a rare mix. Whether you're into science fiction, survival stories, or just well-made cinema, The Martian is the kind of film you'll gladly watch more than once.' The accolades continued over on Letterboxd, where yet another five-star review says: 'An effortlessly engrossing and excellently rendered science fiction epic of survival, Ridley Scott's Martian immediately ranks as one of the director's most satisfying works. 'A love letter to the power of science, problem solving, and human will, the film provides a smart and soaring experience that rivets as much as it satisfies. 'Scott and company tell a story that is buoyant, nail-biting, and life affirming.' This modern masterpiece isn't leaving Disney+ any time soon, so there's plenty of time and absolutely no excuse not to stream one of Damon's best blockbusters before the torch is passed to Gosling next year. The Martian is available to stream on Disney+.

The Project Hail Mary trailer has dropped. It's perfect
Fans will have to wait until March 20, 2026 to see the final product, but the first trailer for Project Hail Mary dropped on Monday on the TODAY show. Based on the book written by Andy Weir -- who also authored The Martian -- Project Hail Mary is a story of survival, humanity and friendship as middle school science teacher Ryland Grace goes on an adventure he never could have expected. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Into the Spider-Verse) are at the helm as directors for the project. Ryan Gosling stars as Grace, who opens the trailer waking up from a coma and finding himself in outer space. Over the course of the trailer, we find out that Grace has to go on a mission in an attempt to find out why the sun (and all the stars in the solar system) are dying. Check out the full trailer here: It's just shy of three minutes of perfection, utilizing Harry Styles' song "Sign of the Times" as Eva (played by Anatomy of a Fall's Sandra Hüller) tries to convince Grace he's the only man for the job. The trailer also breaks down Project Hail Mary's relatively complicated plot well, explaining that if they can't complete this mission, the entire world will die. Oh, and we get our first glimpse of Rocky, the alien Grace meets on his journey. All-in-all, lovers of the book should be excited based on what we've seen so far. "I'm several light years from my apartment," Gosling says to open the clip. "And I'm not an astronaut." March 2026 can't get here fast enough.

First look: Nicolas Cage is all set to play the most genre-defying, neo-noir Spider-Man yet
The Spider-Verse just got darker, and a lot more interesting. Nicolas Cage, the cult-favourite actor known for his eclectic roles, is officially stepping back into the Spider-Man universe. But this time, he's not just lending his voice. In a dramatic twist for the franchise, Cage will star in Spider-Noir, a live-action neo-noir series coming to OTT in 2026. For fans of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, this won't be Cage's first dance with the web. He previously voiced the moody, hard-boiled Spider-Man Noir in the Oscar-winning animated film — a black-and-white vigilante from an alternate 1930s reality. That version became a breakout favourite thanks to his dry wit, trench coat swagger, and deep moral code. Now, he's back but not just in voice, but in full fedora-wearing, shadow-hugging glory. The first look gives fans a glimpse of Cage suited up in the character's now-iconic costume: white goggles glowing against a shadowy webbed mask, his trench coat billowing in the darkness. The show promises a faithful tone, drawing directly from the Spider-Man Noir comic books rather than the animated adaptation. Set in a hauntingly stylised 1930s New York, Spider-Noir follows an ageing, world-weary private investigator who once fought crime as the city's only superhero — but left that life behind. Now, faced with a city drowning in corruption and chaos, he must reckon with the ghost of the man he once was. The series will be released in both black-and-white and colour, offering viewers a choice between classic noir aesthetics and a more modern visual tone — an ambitious stylistic decision that mirrors the duality of the character himself. Though most details are under wraps, a leaked teaser has already ignited buzz online. It opens with a silhouetted figure standing above a rain-slicked skyline, Cage's gravelly voice narrating: 'Have you seen it? The city is a mess. The people could use a hero.' Quick cuts show a spider crawling across pavement, new mysterious faces, and the titular hero going hand-to-hand with armed thugs. The scene crescendos with a final, chilling shot: Spider-Noir's glowing white eyes illuminating in the dark, startling his prey. The teaser ends with a stark title card: Coming 2026. While Spider-Noir shares DNA with Into the Spider-Verse, it stands alone in tone and scope — a noir detective story draped in spandex and shadow. It's less quips and quirk, more bruised knuckles and broken pasts. With Cage at the helm, this series promises a version of Spider-Man unlike any we've seen before — older, edgier, and soaked in noir cool; Spider-Noir could become one of Marvel's boldest genre experiments yet.

Sony and Tom Rothman Agree to Multi-Year Contract Extension
Tom Rothman isn't going anywhere. The chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures' Motion Picture Group has agreed to a contract extension that will keep him in charge of the studio's film output for years to come, Sony announced Friday. Terms of the multi-year extension, including compensation and the specific number of years, were not disclosed. Rothman oversees all film brands under the Sony Pictures umbrella, including Columbia Pictures, TriStar Pictures, Screen Gems, Sony Pictures Animation, Sony Pictures Imageworks, Sony Pictures International Productions, and Sony Pictures Classics. More from IndieWire You Can Only See George Romero's Final Work Here - and No, It's Not a Film Mikey Madison Has Found Her First Role After 'Anora' Oscar Win with 'Reptilia' The move will keep Hollywood's longest-tenured studio head in place for even longer during a time of increased uncertainty in the industry. Rothman has served as Sony's film chairman since 2015, adding CEO to his title in 2021. He first joined the company in 2013 following a multi-decade career at 20th Century Fox that saw him found the Searchlight label and serve as co-chairman and CEO of Fox Filmed Entertainment, president of Twentieth Century Fox Film Group, and president of production for Twentieth Century Fox. While Rothman has greenlit his share of I.P.-driven projects like the 'Into the Spider-Verse' and 'Venom' franchises, his tenure has been notable for his willingness to take big swings on ambitious filmmaker-driven projects such as Quentin Tarantino's 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,' Greta Gerwig's 'Little Women,' and Sam Mendes' upcoming four-part Beatles biopic. As a famously devoted cinephile, Rothman's commitment to exclusive theatrical releases has made him popular among filmmakers, with Tarantino going so far to say that he would not work with any other studio at this point. 'I'm probably going to be doing the movie with Sony because they're the last game in town that is just absolutely, utterly, committed to the theatrical experience,' Tarantino told Deadline in a 2023 interview while discussing his hypothetical final film. 'It's not about feeding their streaming network. They are committed to theatrical experience. They judge success by asses on seats. And they judge success by the movies entering the zeitgeist, not just making a big expensive movie and then putting it on your streaming platform. No one even knows it's there.'
