The galaxy’s favorite duo is officially heading to the big screen. Lucasfilm has released the first full trailer for the upcoming Star Wars movie titled The Mandalorian and Grogu, centered on the Mandalorian and Grogu, giving fans an explosive look at their next adventure — and the enemies standing in their way.
The trailer delivers everything audiences have come to love from the hit series: sweeping planetscapes, high‑velocity dogfights, and the unmistakable bond between Din Djarin and Grogu. But this time, the stakes are bigger, the villains more dangerous, and the action scaled up for a full cinematic experience.
Din Djarin, still clad in his signature beskar armor, is seen navigating new corners of the galaxy as he and Grogu become entangled in a conflict that threatens far more than their own survival. The footage teases a shadowy new faction rising from the remnants of the Empire, forcing the pair into battles that push their skills — and their trust in each other — to the limit.
Grogu, now more confident in his abilities, gets several standout moments in the trailer, including flashes of Force‑powered heroics that hint at his growing strength. The dynamic between the two remains the emotional core of the story, blending heart, humor, and high‑stakes tension.
Visually, the film embraces the epic scale of classic Star Wars while maintaining the grounded, gritty aesthetic that made The Mandalorian a phenomenon. From desert outposts to neon‑lit cities to starship combat, the trailer promises a cinematic expansion of the world fans already adore.
With its blend of nostalgia, fresh storytelling, and blockbuster spectacle, the Mandalorian and Grogu’s first big‑screen outing is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Star Wars releases in years.

A bold new dark comedy‑thriller is taking shape with an unexpected ensemble: Tyrese Gibson, Billy Zane, Jake Busey, and Armie Hammer have all signed on to star in Mascotland, a film that blends satire, suspense, and off‑beat humor in a world where masculinity is both the joke and the danger.
Mascotland follows a group of deeply flawed men who find themselves entangled in a bizarre underground retreat designed to “rebuild” their sense of manhood. What begins as a misguided self‑help getaway quickly spirals into chaos, exposing the absurdity, insecurity, and volatility simmering beneath the surface. The film leans into its dark comedic tone while weaving in thriller elements that push the characters — and the audience — into unpredictable territory.
Tyrese Gibson brings his signature intensity and charisma to the project, stepping into a role that allows him to flex both dramatic and comedic muscles. Billy Zane, known for his ability to play charming yet unhinged characters, adds a layer of eccentric unpredictability. Jake Busey, with his knack for off‑kilter humor, fits seamlessly into the film’s satirical edge. Armie Hammer’s casting marks a notable return to the screen, adding another layer of intrigue to the ensemble.
The film’s tone is described as sharp, irreverent, and unapologetically strange — a send‑up of modern masculinity wrapped in a thriller framework. With its eclectic cast and genre‑bending premise, Mascotland is already generating buzz as a project that aims to push boundaries and spark conversation.
Production details, including release plans and additional casting, are expected to be announced soon. For now, the combination of talent and concept positions Mascotland as one of the more daring and unconventional films on the horizon.
Nicolas Cage is Spider-Man — sort of — in Prime Video‘s new series Spider-Noir.
Above is the show’s first teaser trailer, which presents the Marvel Comics Spider-Verse character in live action for the first time.
Marking the Oscar winner’s first leading TV series role, Cage plays Ben Reilly, an aging and down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.
The trailer shows Cage as a world-weary gumshoe and a black-clad web-slinger and features the tagline: “With No Power Comes No Responsibility.”
Prime Video also announced a premiere date, May 27th, and says the episodes will be dropped as a binge release.
The company also has a unique presentation for the project: Spider-Noir will be available to stream in two different ways, in “Authentic Black & White” and “True-Hue Full Color” (the original comics were rather muted and monochromatic, but in color).
The full cast includes Lamorne Morris (Fargo), Li Jun Li (Sinners), Karen Rodriguez (The Hunting Wives), Abraham Popoola (Slow Horses), Jack Huston (Boardwalk Empire), and Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin).
Spider-Noir is produced by Sony Pictures Television for MGM+ and Prime Video. Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag) directed and executive-produced the first two episodes. Oren Uziel (The Lost City) and Steve Lightfoot (The Punisher) serve as co-showrunners and executive producers. Uziel and Lightfoot developed the series with the team behind Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal.

Jennifer Hudson is returning to the world of Dreamgirls—this time behind the scenes. The Oscar‑winning performer is set to produce a brand‑new Broadway revival of the beloved musical, marking a full‑circle moment nearly two decades after her star‑making turn as Effie White in the 2006 film adaptation.
The revival will bring Dreamgirls back to the stage with fresh creative energy, updated design, and a renewed focus on the musical’s themes of ambition, artistry, and the cost of fame. Hudson’s involvement signals a major vote of confidence in the production, given her deep personal connection to the material and her long‑standing admiration for the show’s legacy.
Hudson’s portrayal of Effie White earned her an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, and widespread acclaim, instantly cementing her as one of the most powerful vocalists and performers of her generation. Now, as a producer, she steps into a new role—one that allows her to help shape the next chapter of a musical that changed her life.
The revival is expected to honor the original Broadway production while introducing new creative elements to connect with today’s audiences. Casting, creative team details, and production timelines are still under wraps, but anticipation is already building across the theater community.
For Hudson, the project represents both a homecoming and an evolution. Her journey from American Idol breakout to award‑winning actress, talk‑show host, and now Broadway producer reflects the same resilience and drive that define Dreamgirls itself.
As the revival moves forward, fans of the musical—and of Hudson—are eager to see how she reimagines a story that continues to resonate across generations.
Jamie Foxx is back. The multitalented entertainer has released “Somebody,” his first official single in over a decade, via Foxxhole Productions.
He co-wrote and co-produced it with Jermaine Carter, Wade Albert Branch III, and Sam Pounds.
On the soul-stirring track, Foxx yearns to find someone to fill a void left by heartbreak. “Can somebody find somebody to get this somebody off my mind?” he sings.
Foxx announced his musical return in an Instagram post shared Jan. 29th. “Bout that time #somebody,” he said to his 17 million followers.
“Somebody” is the follow-up to Foxx’s fifth album, Hollywood: A Story of a Dozen Roses, released in 2015 via RCA Records. The album included the Chris Brown-assisted single “You Changed Me” and the Wale-featured banger “Like a Drum.”
In 2025, Foxx was honored with the Ultimate Icon Award at the BET Awards, alongside Mariah Carey, Kirk Franklin, and Snoop Dogg. In his acceptance speech, the “Unpredictable” singer got emotional as he reflected on his 2023 health scare.
“I’ve got to be honest, when I saw the memoriam… I was like, man, that could’ve been me,” said Foxx. “I don’t know why I went through what I went through, but I know my second chance, I’m not going to turn down. I have so much love to give.”
He also expressed gratitude to everyone for their support during his recovery and gave a heartfelt thanks to his daughter, Corinne, for being by his side.
