The next few years promise a lot of blockbuster releases for fantasy enjoyers of all kinds. For those looking for a mythical epic, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is the event of this summer to look forward to, bringing the director back to theaters to bring to life one of the most famous literary adventures from across history, with Matt Damon in the lead role. Laika is finally releasing their latest effort after over a decade of development, too, in the form of the gorgeous stop-motion film Wildwood in October. Next year, meanwhile, will see the return of two classic series with Greta Gerwig's much-anticipated Narnia: The Witch's Nephew bowing in theaters in February and The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum arriving on December 17, 2027. For those looking to return to a certain long-dormant fantasy video game world this year, however, the wait just got a bit longer.

Three years after James Gunn and Peter Safran took the reins of the new DCU, things are mostly firing on all cylinders. Superman proved to be the exact cinematic start the new franchise needed last year, introducing David Corenswet's Clark Kent to solid reviews and an inspiring $618.7 million. There have since been a few deviations from the original plan for the universe's first chapter, Gods and Monsters, laid out back in 2023 to capitalize on the success and work around other projects still developing. The next two years, for instance, will see the release of two projects not among the ten titles originally announced — the Mike Flanagan-penned Clayface movie in October and the Lex Luthor and Superman team-up, Man of Tomorrow, premiering next summer — alongside Supergirl and Lanterns this summer.

It's been a minute since RWBY fans last got to visit the world of Remnant. Volume 9 of the wildly popular animated fantasy series created by the late Monty Oum premiered back in 2023, yet a milestone tenth season following the teenage huntresses remains elusive, though for understandable reasons. Rooster Teeth, the internet content giant and longtime producer of the series, shut down in 2024, creating some uncertainty about the story's future until Viz Media stepped in to acquire the IP. Still, updates have been scarce since showrunner Kerry Shawcrossconfirmed that Volume 10 was on the way in 2025, and, unfortunately, there's still not much to report on that front, even from the perspective of the stars.

2026 has been a big year for Grammy winner Anderson .Paak. The soulful hip-hop and R&B artist and one-half of Silk Sonic has been having a moment of late, recently appearing on the Time100 Most Influential People in the World list for 2026, showing up at the MET Gala, performing globally with his creative partner Bruno Mars on the star's The Romantic Tour, and finally bringing his feature directorial debut K-Pops! to theaters. With Father's Day just around the corner, Netflix is giving him even more good news. Nearly two years after debuting at the Toronto International Film Festival, his family comedy officially arrives on streaming this weekend, on May 30, just in time to celebrate the holiday with a story of a dad learning to do right by his long-lost son. Before then, Collider can exclusively share a collection of behind-the-scenes shots from the making of the silly, heartwarming, and deeply personal project.

Do you know what time it is? It's officially Pride Month and also the anniversary of Ooo's greatest romance — Bubbline. In celebration of the occasion, Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher Oni Press has joined forces with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products to explore new ground within the Adventure Time universe through their first-ever Pride Special, centered on Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen. Titled PB & Marcy's Infinite Mixtape #1, this new 40-page comic will see their relationship put to the test as they aim to make the ultimate monument to their love — a perfect, never-before-heard mixtape that reflects everything they've been through until now. Collider is thrilled to offer an extended preview of the new original story before it hits store shelves this month, including ten pages and four unique covers with wildly different styles.

One month ago today, the forces of Outworld and Earthrealm engaged in a deadly tournament to determine the fate of both worlds in Mortal Kombat II. Now, Shao Kahn and his champions are about to invade homes everywhere. Simon McQuoid's bloodier and more brutal sequel to the 2021 film, based on NetherRealm Studios' iconically gory series of fighting games, officially hits digital platforms tomorrow after testing its might at the box office to the tune of $126.8 million and wowing viewers with a new round of bone-crunching fatalities. Ahead of its arrival, Collider can exclusively share a new sneak peek that plunges into the fiery depths of the Netherrealm for a clash of blades between two of the most recognizable fighters from the series — Hanzo Hasashi, aka Scorpion (Hiroyuki Sanada), and Bi-Han, the former Sub-Zero now known as Noob Saibot (Joe Taslim)

Last year, NCIS fans got their wishes for a continuation of Tiva when Paramount+ released the procedural spin-off NCIS: Tony & Ziva. The series was a treat, picking up with Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo's fan-favorite former NCIS agents after they left for Paris to start a life together along with their daughter, Tali (Isla Gie). Although their on-again, off-again romance had fallen through, it offered some closure to the beloved couple's life together, showing how they always find their way back to each other amid a high-stakes journey to clear their names and figure out who is after them. Alas, their unconventional new chapter was cut a bit short after the streamer decided to cancel it after one season.

Schmidt and Jenko are back on the beat. A new report has confirmed that a long-awaited third installment in the 21 Jump Street franchise is officially happening, with both Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum in talks to reprise their leading roles, alongside Ice Cube, who's also discussing a return as Captain Dickson. Even better, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the duo who helmed the first two installments in the cult classic action crime comedy franchise and are coming off the smash hit Project Hail Mary, are back to serve as producers. The title, fittingly, will be 24 Jump Street, and yes, you read that right.

Halloween is still more than four months away, but the Land of Ooo is already preparing for the spooky season. The multi-Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher Oni Press has once again partnered with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products to unleash Adventure Time's first-ever Halloween special, sending Jake and Finn on an eerie new adventure that leans into the darker side of their world. Spanning 48 pages, it'll haunt comic shops at the end of September, just in time for fans to pick up the issue for the holiday. Collider is thrilled to share a first look before the special goes on sale, showing off four unique covers that reimagine the two iconic adventurers, their friends, and some scary monsters in vastly different styles.

This year's iteration of the Cannes Film Festival is officially over, but one director is still drawing plenty of attention. Zachary Wigon brought his new Maika Monroe-led period horror thriller, Victorian Psycho, to the prestigious cinematic event in the Un Certain Regard section, where it was met with high praise from attendees. With the bloody breakout success now due to bring its reign of terror to theaters this fall, producers Anonymous Content have opted to stay in business with the indie filmmaker. Collider can exclusively confirm that Wigon has signed a deal with the company for representation through its much-lauded Commercial division.

Where would the world be without Gremlins? The classic horror-comedy creature feature directed by Joe Dante and penned by Chris Columbus immediately took the world by storm when it was released in 1984, raking in over $212 million globally on an $11 million budget and spawning an entire franchise that spans a sequel, an upcoming legacy follow-up, the animated Secrets of the Mogwai prequel series, books, and more. Even now, there are plenty of people who still know who Gizmo is and that you never feed a Mogwai after midnight, and the original film's impact has been felt in everything from Ghoulies to Stranger Things. Surprisingly, though, there was actually a Sliding Doors moment where Warner Bros. nearly ditched the massive hit before they even realized what they had.
