Superman A tie-in action figure confirms the purple-suited character seen in the Superman trailer is indeed Ultraman, the evil alternate universe counterpart of Superman. A great look at the ULTRAMAN figure for 'SUPERMAN' — DCU Updates (@DCU_Updates) May 15, 2025 John Wick 5 During a recent interview with /Film, Chad Stahleski stated he hopes U.S. 'relations will improve' with China before John Wick 5 goes behind cameras. I will tell you as much as I know, which isn't much. Look, we have an inkling to it … I can't tell you what John Wick 5 is about because we haven't quite got it all down. We have thoughts, I have a thematic…you can tell I love '70s movies. We've done a lot of rock and roll fable stuff from number two, we've done the mythical David Lean of number three and four, and the Samurai and Leone and the Bertolucci in number two, and the Tarkovsky in number three. You can see all my influences. I'm a huge fan of Wong Kar-Wai, Zhang Yimou, Tsui Hark, John Woo, of course. So, I think no matter what, I think there's going to be an influence of Chinese cinema. We did so much of Kurosawa, and all the other Japanese directors, and what we love to do with the Samurai films of Zatoichi and Kurosawa and all that. So, I'd like to explore that kind of realm. Now that the world is changing a little bit, I think hopefully, relations will improve and continue to improve between us and China, which will allow us the opportunity to explore locations over there, but I'd like to bring that kind of storytelling in, its my tribute back to the Matrixes and all my, early Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yeun Biao, Tsui Hark, and all the other great ones. And then I'd still like to — I really love the Middle East, I love David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia, I love all that. So, I think there's more storytelling to be…I like old cultural stuff, and I think China, Africa, and the Middle East holds some of the best history, human history. So, I'd like to explore all those areas as well. Killing Faith Bloody-Disgusting also reports Killing Faith, the upcoming 'supernatural western' starring Guy Pearce, DeWanda Wise, Bill Pullman and Joanna Cassidy has been rated R for 'strong violent content, grisly images, drug use, sexual assault and some language.' Jurassic World Rebirth Here's a quick teaser for the new Jurassic Word Rebirth trailer coming tomorrow. The Sound A group of rock climbers 'come face to face with a malevolent force that quickly turns their expedition into a harrowing battle for survival' in the first teaser for The Sound. The Bondsman According to Deadline, Amazon has canceled Kevin Bacon's The Bondsman after one season. The Last of Us HBO has released a trailer for 'Every Last One Of Them,' next week's second season finale of The Last of Us.
