MORTAL KOMBAT II
WHEN DAT: May 18, 2026
WHAT DAT: A sequel to the 2021 film, the actual Mortal Kombat tournament is finally about to pop the fuck off. Earthrealm’s fighters throw hands with Outworld in a blood-soaked interdimensional UFC where the rules are fake and everyone apparently knows how to give a giant fuck you to Newtonian physics.
WHO DAT:
Karl Urban as Johnny Cage
Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion
Ludi Lin as Liu Kang
Mehcad Brooks as Jax
Joe Taslim as Bi-Han / Noob Saibot
Lewis Tan as Cole Young
Adeline Rudolph as Kitana
WHY THIS: Because the first movie, while surprisingly entertaining, totally blue-balled us with tournament hype for two hours and now we finally get the glorious nonsense we were promised - also Billy Butcher himself Karl Urban's debut as Johnny Gage could not be miss for all the raw flesh in Outworld.
MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE
WHEN DAT: June 5, 2026
WHAT DAT: Prince Adam stranded on Earth embraces the power of He-Man to defend Eternia from Skeletor and his nightmare rotation of never-ending evil CGI weirdos. Expect big ass swords, cosmic fantasy, and if we're lucky a performance from Jared Leto that will match Nicolas Galitzine's chicken and rice abs.
WHO DAT:
Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man / Prince Adam
Jared Leto as Skeletor *sigh*
Idris Elba as Man-At-Arms
Camila Mendes as Teela
Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn
Morena Baccarin as the Sorceress
A Fuck-ton of CGI as The Evil Warriors
WHY THIS: Because its been an embarrassingly long time since He-Man has bless the big screen and fantasy sci-fi with neon skull villains feels like a unlaced bump of... joy from 1987 we all absolutely crave right now - dont forget the high potential for abs.
DISCLOSURE DAY
WHEN DAT: June 12, 2026
WHAT DAT: Humanity discovers we may not be alone… and the government may have been sitting on cosmic receipts for decades. Spielberg returns to aliens, paranoia, and emotionally overwhelmed suburban dads in the most art-imitating-life film of 2026
WHO DAT:
Emily Blunt as Margaret Fairchild
Josh O'Connor as Daniel Kellner
Colin Firth as Noah Scanlon
Eve Hewson as Jane Blankenship
Colman Domingo as Hugo Wakefield
WHY THIS: Because nobody has the gift of making aliens feel whimsical as fuck and memorably horrifying at the same time as one Spielberg.
SUPERGIRL
WHEN DAT: June 26, 2026
WHAT DAT: Superman's favorite alcoholic cousin Kara Zor-El rolls up to the new DC gUniverse carrying Olympic level trauma, rage, and the cosmos goodest boy. What was originally meant to be a wild interplanetary turn up to celebrate her 23rd birthday morphs into a murderous quest for vengeance and a faithful encounter with the main man himself Lobo.
WHO DAT:
Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El / Supergirl Jason Momoa as Lobo
Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll
Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills
David Corenswet as Kal-El / Clark Kent / Superman

THE ODYSSEY
WHEN DAT: July 17, 2026
WHAT THAT: King Odysseus aka Mr. Nobody tries to make it home for a well-earned ball up following the the brutal Trojan War - Unfortunately hatin-ass gods, monsters, cyclopes (cyclopi? cyclopia?), and fate itself decide put his roll on slow.
WHO THAT:
Matt Damon as Odysseus
Tom Holland as Telemachus
Anne Hathaway as Penelope
Zendaya as Athena
Robert Pattinson as Antinous
Charlize Theron as Calypso
WHY THIS: Alright, we know the rumor of Elliot Page playing Achilles has pre-suds this film for alot of you. Putting that aside for a minute, you know Christopher Nolan can shoot the shit out of a story, so expect nothing less than pure cinèma.
SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY
WHEN DAT: July 31, 2026
WHAT DAT: Peter Parker is surely goin' through it after the events of 'No Way Home'. And if trying to start over hella broke in a world where nary one of his closest homies remember him and animal-themed supervillains weren't enough, New York now infested with a ninja murder cult - oh and his powers are mutating, and not in the cool X-Men way... or maybe...?
WHO DAT:
Tom Holland as Peter Parker / Spider-Man
Zendaya as MJ
Jon Bernthal as The Punisher 💀
Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner / Hulk
Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds
Michael Mando as Mac Gargan / Scorpion:
Sadie Sink as Who the frak knows
WHY THIS: Our Marvel fatigue is probably significantly lower than most of yall. Tom Holland never disappoints and we look forward to see his Solo Leveling arc. - also pretty jazzed at the Daredevil cameo rumors, we ❤️ C. Cox!
THE END OF OAK STREET
WHEN DAT: August 14, 2026
WHAT DAT: A quiet suburban neighborhood begins unraveling after strange supernatural and/cosmic shit tosses all of Oak Street into the past? Another dimension? - we dunno but y'all see that dinosaur-lookin' thing in the trailer?
WHO DAT:
Anne Hathaway as Denise
Ewan McGregor as Greg
Maisy Stella as Audrey
Christian Convery as Brian
WHY THIS: They've built enough hype while still maintaining the mystery of what the actual fuck is going on in this possessed cul-de-sac. Oh shout out to Anne Hathaway btw, she's really gathering bare coin in 2026.
RESIDENT EVIL
WHEN DAT: September 18, 2026
WHAT DAT: Capcom’s zombie apocalypse gets rebooted once again. Shocker we know. Not a tremendous amount is known about the plot right now, but we do know it centers around a medical courier named Bryan who is about to have a powerfully shitty day on the job when the über bad Umbrella Corporation decides its time for another round of zombie facilitated hijinks.
WHO DAT:
Austin Abrams as Bryan
Zach Cherry as Dave
Kali Reis as Pauline
Paul Walter Hauser as Carl
WHY THIS: Well, I mean because why not? Having a cast of proven, yet not widely recognized actors may actually sell the drama of this film nicely - in addition BARE people are fixin to get ate up. It's truly the main reason to see any zombie or "Jurassic Park' movie in 2026.
AVATAR AANG: THE LAST AIRBENDER
WHEN DAT: October 9, 2026
**After the film was leaked online Nickelodeon has decided to switch to an online release with an option for theaters

WHO THAT:
Eric Nam as Aang
Dave Bautista as Tagah
Jessica Matten as Katara
Román Zaragoza as Sokka
Steven Yeun as Fire Lord Zuko
Dionne Quan as Toph
WHY THIS: Listen, if you're not stoked to see Team Avatar potentially reunite on the big screen after nearly two decades then leave this site and never darken its screen again! Ya hear me, scram!
STREET FIGHTER
WHEN DAT: October 16, 2026
WHAT DAT: Current Giga-Chad and former wig spliter Ken Masters seeks to flip the script on his current fuck-boy persona by joining the world’s greatest fighters in a global martial arts showdown. Only thing standing in his way is his former BFF, a few mob bosses with super powers... and whatever the ass Blanka is.

Andrew Koji as Ryu
Noah Centineo as Ken Masters
Jason Momoa as Blanka
David Dastmalchian as M. Bison
Cody Rhodes as Guile
Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson as Balrog
Callina Liang as Chun-Li

Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom
Chris Evans as Steve Rogers
Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson / Blaptain America
Tom Hiddleston as Loki
Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic
Patrick Stewart as Professor X *yay*
Chris Hemsworth as Thor
Honestly dawg pretty much every motherfucka from Comic-Con Hall H
WHY THIS: Because Marvel heard y'all say “the MCU sucks now” and responded with “bet.”
DUNE: PART III
WHEN DAT: December 25, 2026
WHAT DAT: Paul Atreides aka Space Jesus sits perched on the galaxy’s most uncomfortable throne while the holy war he oopsy daisy started keeps the body count longer than a Shai-Hulud family convoy - So basically: space jihad, superior depression, and modern dictator vibes.
WHO DAT:
Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides / Muad’Dib
Zendaya as Chani
Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan
Anya Taylor-Joy as Alia Atreides
Jason Momoa as Duncan Idaho
