#TheLongWalk is Shawshank and Stand By Me stretched across miles of gut-wrenching tarmac. This is unquestionably Francis Lawrence's best work to date. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

5 Things We Need To See In The Batman 2 Matt Reeves script for The Batman 2 was called a 'great read' by James Gunn. Here are the five things we hope it entails.

I’m so excited about everything that’s in the DC pipeline, and that includes The Batman sequel. Here’s some things I hope Matt Reeves has tucked away in the batcave when Battinson returns. www.slashfilm.com/1941326/the-...

You’re a legend. Thanks bud.

#WeaponsMovie is a bloody ball of string tied up in carefully tangled knots. Exceptional cast and some genuine gut flinching moments that’ll keep you hooked until its absolutely batshit ending. Better than Barbarian. I can’t wait to see it again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Expanding on the history of one of the MCU’s coolest areas #EyesofWakanda strangely reminded me of #PredatorKillerofKillers in all the best ways. Gorgeous to look at and surprisingly violent, a visit into this nation’s past is another reassuring sign about the MCU’s future. Get it watched.

Why More Predator Is The Best Way Forward For The Alien Franchise Where the Predator franchise is enjoying a creative renaissance, the Alien property keeps struggling. Our solution? It's time for another crossover, baby.

Avengers: Doomsday Could Wipe Out Three Of Fantastic Four's Best Characters The Fantastic Four will join forces with other MCU characters in Avengers: Doomsday, but some of the best characters in First Steps will be left behind.

We know that the Fantastic Four are switching worlds when Avengers: Doomsday rolls around, I just hope the MCU finds a way of not leaving these characters behind when they do. www.slashfilm.com/1924457/aven...

Fantastic Four: First Steps Confirms Reed Richards Has The Worst Superpower In The MCU Does Reed Richards have the worst superpowers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? The Fantastic Four: First Steps makes the case.

Anybody else go “ouch” at that bit with Reed Richards in Fantastic Four? Me too. It’s exactly why I’m worried about him in Avengers: Doomsday. www.slashfilm.com/1921008/fant...

The Stranger Things Season 5 Trailer Confirms Vecna Has A New Score To Settle (And It's Not With Eleven) Stranger Things' season 5 trailer sees Vecna return, but the villain doesn't seem to be hunting Eleven. Instead, he appears to have a different person in mind.

#StrangerThings theory: Vecna is turning his vengeance levels up past Eleven and to the Max www.slashfilm.com/1913914/stra...

5 Reasons Why The Supergirl Movie Could Be Better Than Superman Here are five reasons why the DC Universe's Supergirl starring Milly Alcock could fly even higher than James Gunn's Superman. (And yes, Krypto is one of them.)

Kara Zor-El aka Supergirl has it in her to become the MVP of the DCU and here’s five reasons why. Is it 2026 yet? www.slashfilm.com/1912756/supe...

He’s right. We really did get the upgrade.

Hey Siri, how do you make something look even dodgier than it already was?

Look, I'm just saying if Hugh ever calls it a day…

Jaw hit the floor and still hasn’t come back up. What the actual hell do Danny Boyle and Alex Garland have planned for the next 28 Years Later?

Impossible missions I genuinely think Tom Cruise can't have accomplished:
- Correctly placed his item in the bagging area every time.
- Opened a Pringles tube and every one of them is intact.
- Not gone "weeee" when he's flown a plane really high.

Fiction is becoming fact and its stomach churning

Don't want it to be like this, but it is...

Superman is on the way, but with Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning, you'll believe a man can't die. The fuse might not be burning as bright as some might like for a franchise finale, but you tell that to the screen legend when he's dangling from a plane or becoming a literal Cruise missile.⭐️⭐️⭐️

5 Reasons Why Tom Hardy's MobLand Is The Perfect Yellowstone Replacement - SlashFilm If you're missing the violent soap opera antics of Yellowstone, you should probably be watching the Tom Hardy series MobLand.

Marvel's Thunderbolts Proves The Sentry Could Be The Biggest Threat In Avengers: Doomsday - SlashFilm Here's how the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday could turn Thunderbolts character Sentry into a major threat for everyone involved.

I'm so excited to see what part Thunderbolts' Bob plays out in the MCU, but specifically which side he ends up on in Avengers: Doomsday www.slashfilm.com/1849223/marv...

Impressive visuals and some scene stealing performances make Thunderbolts a great watch and for the first time in ages, a post credit scene has me excited for what’s to come. Marvel might be back folks.

Imagine making a Blade movie and not only having the original to compete with but Sinners now as well.

Sinners' Big Musical Number Is 2025's Greatest Movie Scene (So Far) - SlashFilm Ryan Coogler's Sinners contains a big musical scene that has set the bar as the best movie moment of 2025. Here's why the vampire film is so effective.

This film has me hooked. I need it again immediately, and this scene specifically. www.slashfilm.com/1836756/sinn...

There are no real scene-stealers here, either. Just an ensemble on both sides of the threshold between the fearful and the frightening. Leading the way, however, is Michael B. Jordan, delivering a career-best performance so seamless he gave it to us twice. Make this the hit it deserves to be.

Ryan Coogler has drawn blood from some of the best vampire films to create one that easily stands among them in #Sinners, which has much more behind its bite. This is about music, history, and freedom in various forms. It's also the refreshing, visually arresting, standalone story cinemas need.

Another March of the Penguins full of Unhappy Feet

What a watchlist to get through though, honestly.
