Tron: Ares is projected to make between $33 million and $45 million during its first weekend in theaters. This is a bit lower than earlier estimates, which predicted around $44 to $55 million.

The next Spider-Man movie, currently titled Spider-Man 4 or Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is being made now. Destin Daniel Cretton, who directed Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, is directing, and Tom Holland will return as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. It’s scheduled to come out in theaters next summer.

The upcoming *Game of Thrones* spinoff, *A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms*, is based on stories by *Game of Thrones* author George R.R. Martin. The trailer suggests this might be the first truly comedic installment in the *Game of Thrones* universe. Starring Peter Claffey as Sir Duncan the Tall and Dexter Sol Ansell as his squire, Egg, the series takes place a century before the original *Game of Thrones*, but after *House of the Dragon*. A humorous exchange in the teaser shows Sir Duncan threatening to hunt down anyone who robs him with dogs, to which Egg replies, “You don’t have dogs!” The HBO series will premiere on January 18, 2026, bringing viewers back to Westeros.

Marvel Studios has revealed the official design for the villain Apocalypse as he’ll appear in Season 2 of X-Men ’97.

Apple has released initial photos from *The Family Plan 2*, showcasing Mark Wahlberg as Dan Morgan and Zoe Saldana as Jessica Morgan, along with their children, Nina and Kyle (played by Zoe Colletti and Van Crosby). The movie picks up with Dan Morgan, a former secret agent, facing a figure from his past – played by Kit Harington – who clearly stirs up trouble. One photo shows Wahlberg with Harington in a headlock, hinting at a tense reunion. *The Family Plan 2* will premiere on Apple TV+ on November 21st.

When the show *Pluribus* was first announced, its unusual concept immediately grabbed attention: the unhappiest person alive has to save everyone from being happy. Creator Vince Gilligan, known for keeping things under wraps during *Breaking Bad*, used hidden clues and imagery to hint at future storylines. He seems to be doing the same with *Pluribus*. The initial one-minute trailer focuses on the strange and disturbing predicament of the character Carol (Seehorn), who appears to be relentlessly pursued by those determined to make her happy.

Bill Condon, the director of films like *Dreamgirls* and *Gods and Monsters*, brings a new adaptation to the screen, this time starring Jennifer Lopez. While this version differs from the stage production, the core story remains consistent: set in Argentina, it follows Molina, imprisoned for being queer—insisting they are a woman, not a gay man—and Valentin, a political prisoner caught up in the Dirty War due to their Marxist beliefs. Initially strangers, the two men connect through hardship, a blossoming romance, and, most importantly, through Molina’s vivid descriptions of classic films to Valentin.

Duncan remembers his mentor, Ser Arlan of Pennytree, charging him with the duties of a good knight: protecting the helpless. Now a knight himself, Duncan reluctantly agrees to take on a young squire named Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell). The story takes place well after the events of *House of the Dragon*, but the Targaryen family still rules, and they’re just as troublesome as ever. Finn Bennett, known from *True Detective: Night Country*, plays Aerion Targaryen, sporting a strikingly similar bleached-blond hairstyle to Timothy Olyphant’s character in *Alien: Earth*, and isn’t shy about insulting Duncan. Bertie Carvel, Sam Spruell, Tanzyn Crawford, and Daniel Ings also star as Baelor Targaryen, Maekar Targaryen, Tanselle, and Ser Lyonel Baratheon, respectively. *A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms* will debut on January 18, 2026, and the show promises an enjoyable viewing experience – especially with a friend.
