CinemaCon 2026 showcased some great new movie announcements, though it also revisited the ongoing search for a new James Bond at Amazon MGM. Let’s focus on the good news: several highly anticipated films debuted trailers that will soon be released, and studios unveiled upcoming projects promising entertainment for everyone. It seems movie theaters are making a strong comeback – and we’re excited about it!
Below, find out about all the biggest news coming to the big screen.
Top Gun 3 is a go
Following the huge success of Top Gun: Maverick, Paramount Pictures, led by David Ellison, is already working on a third film. At CinemaCon, Paramount co-head Josh Greenstein announced that Top Gun 3 is in development with a script being written, and Tom Cruise and producer Jerry Bruckheimer are set to return. While it hasn’t been confirmed, director Joseph Kosinski may or may not be involved. The news of another Top Gun movie is already generating a lot of excitement.
Snoop Dogg is getting a biopic
Jonathan Daviss, known for his role in Outer Banks, has been cast as Snoop Dogg in a new movie about the rapper’s life. Filming is scheduled to begin next summer. Snoop Dogg hinted at the project during CinemaCon, saying he couldn’t share many details yet, but promised to reveal a trailer at the same event next year.
Disney’s Hexed has a cast
Disney has announced the voice cast for its new animated movie, Hexed. Hailey Steinfeld, known for her role in Sinners, will play a teenage character, and Rashida Jones (famous from Parks and Recreation) will voice her mother. It’s amazing to see Ann Perkins’s daughter all grown up!
Zendaya’s new movies sound good
Early looks at three upcoming Zendaya films received enthusiastic responses. A seven-minute clip from Dune: Part Three was described by The Hollywood Reporter as “Saving Private Ryan with lasers.” Spider-Man: Brand New Day hinted at a story where Peter Parker’s identity is completely unknown, even to those closest to him. And Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey revealed its impressive Trojan Horse scene to the audience.
The Spaceballs are coming
Mel Brooks is bringing back Spaceballs with a sequel! The new movie will be titled Spaceballs: The New One – a predictably playful name.
Bradley Cooper is starting a heist
During their presentation at CinemaCon, Warner Bros. leaders Pam Abdy and Mike De Luca announced that Bradley Cooper will star in and direct the next Ocean’s movie. The film will also feature Margot Robbie and will tell the story of Danny Ocean’s parents – a glamorous couple, naturally.
Avengers: Doomsday reunited the big guns
Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans surprised fans at CinemaCon while promoting the upcoming movie, Avengers: Doomsday. Many thought both actors had finished their time in the Marvel universe after the last Avengers film. However, they’re both returning: Evans will once again play Captain America, and Downey will take on the role of Doctor Doom. Downey shared onstage, according to The Hollywood Reporter, that he never expected to be working with the team again, “let alone as a new character!”
Nicole Kidman said the thing
Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock were at the event to talk about their new movie, Practical Magic 2. According to NBC News, Bullock playfully asked Kidman, “Why are we here?” Kidman responded with a smile, “We’re here for magic—practical magic, of course!”
Tom Cruise is transforming
Tom Cruise is taking on a very different role in his next movie, Digger. Director Alejandro González Iñárritu told CinemaCon that while audiences know Cruise is great at performing daring stunts, this character requires a different kind of bravery. He believes this could be Cruise’s most demanding role yet.
Steven Spielberg didn’t disclose much about Disclosure Day
Steven Spielberg recently attended CinemaCon for the first time, where he teased his new film, Disclosure Day. He didn’t reveal much about the plot, simply stating it would raise questions and leave audiences wanting more. We’ll take his word for it!
Jeremy Strong is Mark Zuckerberg
Jeremy Strong takes on the role of Mark Zuckerberg in Aaron Sorkin’s new film, The Social Reckoning, a role previously played by Jesse Eisenberg in The Social Network. Early footage shown at CinemaCon has generated significant buzz, with The Town host Matt Belloni tweeting that Strong’s performance is exceptional, potentially even groundbreaking, and deserving of a perfect five-star rating.
