“The Marvels” Trailer Reveals Brie Larson’s Return as Captain Marvel Alongside New Allies
The trailer for director Nia DaCosta’s The Marvels has landed, revealing the return of Brie Larson as arguably the MCU’s most potent superhero, Captain Marvel. Yet The Marvels, as its title suggests, is about more than just Larson’s superpowered Carol Danvers—now, Captain Marvel has two new allies in Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan (also known as Ms. Marvel) and Teyonah Parris’s Monica Rambeau. We’ve met both Vellani’s Kamala Khan and Parris’s Monica Rambeau before;
“Dungeon & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” VFX Team on the Owlbear, Talking Corpses & More
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a fantasy nerd’s dream. Directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein packed the film with human characters as colorful as the variety of creatures, both animated and practical, that populate its fantastical world. It’s a modern adventure and throwback fantasy film. Crucially, it looks terrific.
The world is tangible, thanks in part to the exceptional minds at Industrial Light & Magic. Both Ben Snow,

“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” Drops Action-Packed Official Trailer
As the official trailer for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny begins, our beloved archeology professor (and part-time adventurer, you might have heard) is retiring. As the Rolling Stones’ deathless “Sympathy for the Devil” plays, Indy and his goddaughter Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) head to a bar for a drink to celebrate. Yet while Indy’s begrudgingly thinking of the softer, greener pastures of retirement, Helena has other things on her mind—a dial that Indy had come across on a train during World War II.
“Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” Sound Mixer Ronan Hill’s Formula for Fantastic Sounding Fantasy
Ronan Hill has a way with dragons. The Belfast-based production sound mixer is best known for his tenure on HBO’s Game of Thrones, where he and the sound teams tuned the rich, resonating sonic palettes across its eight epic seasons, winning five Emmys along the way. Hill returns to familiar territory with Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, from directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, a film that refreshingly spins the popular fantasy role-playing game with a cast of enjoyable characters led by Chris Pine as Edgin,
“John Wick: Chapter 4” Editor Nathan Orloff on Cutting Chaos Into Crackling Coherence
Editor Nathan Orloff is the man who helped turn the mayhem in John Wick: Chapter Four into a beautiful, brutal ballet. It is the longest entry in the franchise, yet it moves with the grace and precision of a seasoned dancer. It’s not only an epic because of director Chad Stahelski’s action sequences; it’s the patient character moments that make all that action meaningful.
Take, for instance, the relationship between Akira (Rina Sawayama) and her father,

“Barbie” Trailer Reveals Margot Robbie in Greta Gerwig’s Live-Action Look at Mattel’s Iconic Doll
Warner Bros. has just dropped the second and much longer look at co-writer/director Greta Gerwig’s live-action Barbie, revealing the star-studded, candy-colored live-action look at the decidedly weird life of Mattel’s iconic doll. Whereas the first trailer riffed on the iconic prehistoric “Dawn of Man” sequence in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, the new trailer widens the lens and teases the larger cast. It also offers a few salient plot points for our heroine and her friends.
“Tetris” Director Jon S. Baird on Putting the Pieces Together
The origin story of Tetris is even more exciting than the iconic game itself. The game’s creator, Alexey Pajitnov (Nikita Efremov), and its greatest champion, businessman Hank Rogers (Taron Egerton), fought to get the game out from under the thumb of Soviet Russia and out into the world. The true story is complicated, but in the hands of filmmaker Jon S. Baird, it’s gracefully told in his latest film, Tetris.
Baird is no stranger to true stories about dreamers.
How “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” Costume Designer Amanda Monk Casts a Sartorial Spell
Dungeons and Dragons, or D&D as it’s more commonly called, is the king wizard of role-playing games. First rolled out in 1974 by co-creators Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, it’s shifted from friends playing in basements to the public lexicon, in part, from the popularity of shows like Stranger Things, which has its characters rolling 20-sided die in their own version of the fantasy game. But D&D has a long history of inspiring television series and films.

Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) might be Brooklyn’s “one and only” Spider-Man, as he says at the top of the second trailer for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, but he’s not the only Spider-Man in the universe. We learned that in the first film in the planned-for trilogy, the Oscar-winning 2018 smash hit Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and now in the second film, we’ll be meeting an even larger universe of Spider-People.

Jaime’s newfound abilities present some serious post-college challenges for a young man trying to find his way, one of those being unpuzzling why the alien scarab arrived on Earth in the first place and what he’s supposed to do with his newfound abilities.
Director Jon Erwin Shares a Message of Hope in True Story “Jesus Revolution”
Clashing ideals and collective soul-searching led many Americans to both destructive and hopeful paths in the 1970s. Among Christian churches, opinions were divided over who was permitted to preach the gospel – and who was worthy of listening. A surprising partnership between establishment pastor Chuck Smith (Kelsey Grammer) and hippie preacher Lonnie Frisbee (Jonathan Roumie) created such a feverish following that the movement landed on TIME Magazine and was dubbed a Jesus Revolution.
Chris Hemsworth is Back as Tyler Rake in Thrilling “Extraction 2” Trailer
The only thing more dangerous than an angry Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth)? An angry Tyler Rake with a flaming right fist. This is one of the things you’ll learn in the first official trailer for Extraction 2, which finds Hemsworth and director Sam Hargrave returning to double down on the epic action they ginned up in the original. Hemsworth’s longtime collaborator Joe Russo (you know him, he co-directed a few little Avengers films) wrote the script,

New “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” Teaser Sees the Gang Attempt a Getaway
A new teaser for James Gunn’s third and final Guardians film is upon us, giving us a fresh glimpse at the final mission for our galactic goofballs. The trailer reveals a moment down on Earth that has Guardians leader Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) leading the crew on yet another getaway, only this time, he’s a bit overmatched by the complexities of the vehicle they’ve apprehended…a car. “I left Earth when I was 8!” Star-Lord says,
