Sorry Spider-Man fans, but it looks like yâall will have to wait a bit longer to see the fourth installment of the MCUâs Spidey series, as Spider-Man 4 has been delayed to make room for another blockbuster film starring your friendly neighborhood wall crawler.
According to Hypebeast, Sony has moved the release date of the still untitled Spider-Man 4 from July 2026 to August 2026. Theyâre banking on Christopher Nolanâs epic The Odyssey to make huge waves as it also stars Tom Holland along with Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, and Zendaya (she and Tom really do everything together) amongst many other stars. Based on Homerâs famous Greek poem, The Odyssey is a fantasy film centered around the Greek King of Ithaca and his return home from the Trojan War in which he crosses paths with all kinds of supernatural beings including a cyclops, sea sirens and even a witch.
Needless to say, that film is bound to make bank at the box office.
Per Hypebeast:
Both of Hollandâs films will be coming out a week from one another and the schedule shift is said to give the actor some breathing room between both blockbuster premieres. Zendaya is rumored to also be in Spider-Man 4 and is currently confirmed to be in The Odyssey as well. Had Sony not changed the schedule, the newest Spider-Man film would come just a week after The Odyssey, which continues to be a nod to Nolanâs decades-long relationship with Imax. Nolan is said to be shooting with Imaxâs powerful cameras and is negotiating a dedicated theatrical window that will show the film at Imax dedicated auditoriums. Sony is presumably also looking to show on Imax. similar to previous Marvel adaptations.
The Odyssey is set to drop July 31, 2026 with Spider-Man 4 following two weeks later. Unfortunately, not much is known about the fourth installment about Spider-Man other than rumors suggesting it will be set in Battle World following the events of Avengers: Doomsday. With word that Doctor Doom is set to merge all kinds of Marvel superheroes and villains in one set reality, rumors suggest that weâll finally get to see Tom Hardyâs Venom and Tom Hollandâs Spider-Man finally cross paths. Whether theyâll be friends or foes is anyoneâs guess, but regardless to whom or what, weâll definitely be checking it out.
Which film are you more excited for, The Odyssey or Spider-Man 4? Let us know in the comments section below.

Weâre only a few months away to see what James Gunn has in store for us when his film Superman: Legacy hits theaters and his rebooted DC universe gets underway and while heâs made it clear thereâs no need to make another Superman origin story, the same rules may not apply to one of the filmâs heroes, Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi).
According to Newsweek, DC is planning on giving Dr. Michael Curtis Holt aka Mister Terrific his own origin story in a limited series before he makes his big screen debut in James Gunnâs upcoming Superman epic. Unfortunately, it will not be in the form of a television series, but rather a limited comic book run, which will lead into his role in Superman: Legacy, but still, somethingâs something, right?
Set to release on May 28, Mr. Terrific: Year One will be penned by Peabody Award-winning journalist, Al Letson and will be joined by award-winning artist Valentine De Landro and others whoâll help bring his story to life for DC fans to enjoy.
Per Newsweek:
Holtâs origin is that of higher intelligence, which he achieved at a very young age, reading the works of theoretical physicists like Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr at an early age. On top of âa natural aptitude for having natural aptitudes,â as the character states, he achieved 14 Ph.Ds long before becoming a superhero.
Following the death of his wife and unborn child, which he blames himself for, Holt finds new purpose in being told by Spectre about a Golden Age hero known as Terry Sloane, aka Mister Terrific.
Holt uses his genius-level intellect to operate T-Spheres, which allows him immunity to technology, the ability to hack other machines, and the ability to repel projections.
In James Gunnâs iteration of the Superman story, the Man of Steel and other superheroes (and villains) are already well-established beings in his DC universe, so how Mister Terrific and others play into the main story should be interesting. With many rumors circulating about the surprise cameos and inclusions of past heroes in the film circulating around the internet, one can only wonder why Mister Terrific was chosen to get his own origin story before the filmâs release. He might have a bigger role in the film than we think.
What do yâall think about DC giving Mister Terrific his own limited-series before Superman: Legacy hits theaters? Let us know in the comments section below.
The red carpet was filled with glamor at the 2025 BAFTA Awards, where music stars including Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and Camilla Cabello were in attendance at Londonâs Royal Festival Hall on Sunday (Feb. 16).
Gomez was a nominee for her work in the film Emilia PĂ©rez, and Grande and Erivo were both nominees with Wicked. Meanwhile, Cabello appeared at the BAFTAs to present the childrenâs and family film award, which went to Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl.
Emilia PĂ©rez and Wicked were both honored with two awards at Sunday nightâs ceremony in London. Director Jacques Audiard won the film not in the English language award for Emilia PĂ©rez, and Zoe Saldaña won supporting actress for her role in the film; Gomez and Grande had also been nominated in the same supporting actress category.
Trending on Billboard
Wicked costume designer Paul Tazewell took home the costume design award, and the filmâs production designers were honored with the production design award. Erivo was nominated for leading actress, but Anoraâs Mikey Madison was honored with the award.
Gomez sparkled in a form-fitting, custom Schiaparelli gown along with jewels from Tiffany & Co., according to stylist Erin Walsh. Tiffany & Co. shared further details: the singer-actress wore designs from the Tiffany Archives, including drop earrings with pear-shaped diamonds, diamond bracelets and a âTiffany High Jewelry ring in 18k white gold set with a round brilliant diamond of over 10 carats and over total 8 carats of diamond accents, as well as a Tiffany Victoria diamond vine band ring in platinum.â
Grande wore Louis Vuitton, says stylist Mimi Cuttrell. She accessorized her pink and black dress, with its sleek top and voluminous skirt, with Chaumet jewelry. Wicked co-star Erivo also graced the red carpet in custom Louis Vuitton â a white gown with a structural, lace bodice â paired with Tiffany & Co jewels, according to creative director Jason Bolden.
Cabello wore a Sabina Bilenko design and Tasaki jewlery, according to stylist Katie Qian. The singerâs dress, consisting of a bodysuit topped with an intricate, embellished overlay, is from the SS25 couture collection.

Conclave was named best film at the 2025 BAFTA Awards. It tied with The Brutalist for most wins at the ceremony (four each). The awards were held on Sunday (Feb. 16) at Londonâs Royal Festival Hall. Doctor Who star David Tennant hosted for the second year in a row.Â

In addition to best film, Conclave won outstanding British film, adapted screenplay and editing.
The Brutalist took leading actor for Adrien Brody, director for Brady Corbet, original score for Daniel Blumberg and cinematography for Lol Crawley.
Runners-up with two awards each were Emilia PĂ©rez, A Real Pain, Wicked, Dune: Part Two, Anora and Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl.
Trending on Billboard
Despite six nominations, the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown was shut out.
Brody has won best actor at most awards shows and is seen as the front-runner to take the Oscar on March 2. Other top awards still appear to be unsettled. The Brutalist and Emilia PĂ©rez won the best picture awards at the Golden Globes. Anora won best picture at the Critics Choice Awards and was also victorious at three guild awards â the Producers Guild, Directors Guild and Writers Guild. With Conclave winning here, it adds more uncertainty to the Oscar race.
And while Anoraâs Mikey Madison won best actress here, Demi Moore is still seen as very much in the hunt for the Oscar for best actress for The Substance.
Last year the outcome in the top eight categories (picture, director, the two writing awards and the four acting awards) at the BAFTAs and the Oscars was exactly the same, but two years ago there was no overlap in the winners in those categories at the two shows. And consider this: Only two of the last 10 BAFTA winners for best film went on to win the Oscar for best picture â Nomadland in 2021 and Oppenheimer in 2024.
Blumberg, who is also nominated for an Oscar for best original score, is an artist, musician, songwriter and composer from London. From 2005-â09, he was a founding member and lead singer for the band Cajun Dance Party. From 2009-â13, Blumberg was frontman and guitarist for the indie rock band Yuck.

The musical biopic on Pharrell Williamsâ life as a child might never see the light of day. He has confirmed that the film has been scrapped.
As spotted on Variety the multi-hyphenate is putting the brakes on what would have been his newest big screen project. On Friday, Feb. 7 he and director Michel Gondry provided the entertainment magazine a formal statement on the status of Golden. âWhen all of us got into the editing room we collectively decided there wasnât a path forward to tell the version of this story that we originally envisioned,â it read. âWe appreciate all the hard work of the talented cast and crew. While weâre disappointed we canât deliver this film, we have incredible partners at Universal and will collaborate in a different capacity again soon.â
Golden was set to capture Pharrell Williamsâ childhood by combining music and story telling. During pre-production he described the project as âa coming-of-age story about self-discovery and pursuing your dreams, but itâs so much more magical than that. Itâs a celebration of Black life, Black culture, and most importantly, Black joy.â It featured an all-star cast of talent including Janelle MonĂĄe, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Halle, Bailey, DaâVine Joy Randolph, Brian Tyree Henry and Quinta Brunson.
It is unclear what Universal Pictures will do with footage and soundtrack.

Anora appears to be the front-runner to win the Oscar for best picture. On Friday (Feb. 7) the film won the top award at the Critics Choice Awards. On Saturday (Feb. 8) it won the top prizes at both the Directors Guild of America Awards and the Producers Guild of America Awards.
The PGA Awards recognize the yearâs best-produced features, documentaries, series and specials, as voted on by the PGA, which has more than 8,400 members. The 36th annual PGA Awards were held at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
Since its inception in 1990, the PGA Award for best theatrical motion picture has gone to the subsequent Oscar winner for best picture on all but 10 occasions.
Trending on Billboard
The correlation between the two awards has become even stronger since 2009, when both the PGA and the Academy Awards began using ranked-choice voting (sometimes called a preferential ballot). Since 2009, the PGA winner and the subsequent Oscar winner have agreed in all but three years. The last time the two award bodies diverged was in 2020, when the PGA award went to 1917, but the Oscars favored Parasite.
The PGA expanded the number of nominees for its top award from five to 10 in 2010, the same year the Oscars made a similar expansion.
The Greatest Night in Pop, a Netflix film about the 1985 âWe Are the Worldâ recording session, won outstanding producer of televised or streamed motion pictures. The film was nominated for three Primetime Emmys last year, including outstanding documentary or nonfiction special, and was nominated for a Grammy for best music film.
Saturday Night Live, now in its 50th season on NBC, won Outstanding Producer of Live Entertainment, Variety, Sketch, Standup & Talk Television, a remarkable feat for a show this deep into its run. It beat Ali Wong: Single Lady, The Daily Show, Last Week Tonight With John Oliver and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert
The Wild Robot won Outstanding Producer of Animated Theatrical Motion Pictures. It has won in the animated film category at most film awards shows and is considered the front-runner to win the Oscar for best animated feature.
Special awards were also presented to Chris Meledandri (David O. Selznick Achievement Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures â presented by Steve Carell), Dana Walden (Milestone Award â presented by Bob Iger), Taika Waititi (Norman Lear Achievement Award in Television â presented by Jon Favreau), and Lynda Obst & Paula Weinstein (Trailblazer Award â presented by Jane Fonda and Kate Hudson).
The 2025 Producers Guild Awards event chairs are Mike Farah and Joe Farrell. The 2025 Producers Guild Awards were produced by Anchor Street Collective and written by Lauren Cortizo, Jody Lambert and Matt Oberg for the guild. Branden Chapman served as executive producer, and Carleen Cappelletti was co-executive producer.
Hereâs the complete list of 2025 nominees by the Producers Guild of America, with winners marked.

What IfâŠ? â An Immersive Story

A Complete Unknown, the James Mangold film about Bob Dylan in the 1960s, won best picture/best movie for grownups at AARPâs Movies for Grownups Awards, which were held on Saturday (Feb. 8) at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. The event had originally been scheduled for Jan. 11, but was postponed due to the wildfires that spread across multiple neighborhoods of the Los Angeles area beginning on Jan. 7.
Alan Cumming, the Tony- and Primetime Emmy Award-winning host of the competition show The Traitors, returned as host of the show, which is in its 24th year. The awards are set to be broadcast by Great Performances on Sunday, Feb. 23, at 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT on PBS, its website and the PBS app.
AARPâs Movies for Grownups Awards was established to encourage films and TV shows that resonate with older viewers. On itssite, AARP adds that there is an age requirement for individual honors: âAARP honors 2024âs finest film and TV achievements by talents 50+.â (They go so far as to list ages in the winners list on their site.)
Trending on Billboard
That 50+ requirement explains why Kieran Culkin (A Real Pain) and ZoĂ« Saldaña (Emilia PĂ©rez), who are winning most awards for best supporting actor and actress, respectively, werenât nominated here. Culkin is 42. Saldaña is 46. It also explains why TimothĂ©e Chalamet wasnât nominated for best actor for playing Dylan in A Complete Unknown. Chalamet is just 29 â a whippersnapper in AARP terms.
A Complete Unknown competed in the best picture category with Conclave, Emilia Pérez, Gladiator II and September 5. The Dylan biopic won a second award for best time capsule. It was the only double winner at the show.
The awards for best actor and best actress went to Adrien Brody (The Brutalist) and Demi Moore (The Substance), who seem to be the front-runners to win Academy Awards in those categories.
Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story won best documentary. The film, directed by Peter Ettedgui, tracks actor Christopher Reeveâs pivot from film star to activist for disability rights following a 1995 horse-riding accident. It triumphed in a tough category that had a greater than usual music emphasis. The other nominees were I Am: Celine Dion, directed by Irene Taylor, which focuses on the singerâs struggle with Stiff Person Syndrome; Luther Vandross: Never Too Much â directed by Dawn Porter, which traces the late R&B starâs life and career; Piece by Piece, directed by Morgan Neville, a journey through the life of Pharrell Williams, told through the lens of LEGO animation; and Will & Harper, directed by Josh Greenbaum, an intimate portrayal of friendship starring Will Ferrell and Harper Steele, friends of 30 years who go on a cross-country road trip.
Glenn Close was the Movies for Grownups Career Achievement Winner, their version of a lifetime achievement award.
Hereâs the complete list of nominees for the 2025 Movies for Grownups Awards, with winners marked.

Wicked, Emilia PĂ©rez and The Substance each won three awards at the 30th annual Critics Choice Awards, which were held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif. on Friday (Feb. 7). But none of those films took the top prize, best picture, which went to Anora (which won no other awards on the night).
Jon M. Chu, the director of Wicked, won best director. Heâs the third director to win a Critics Choice Award for a musical, following Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge!) and Damien Chazelle (La La Land). Chazelle went on to also win the Oscar for that film. Luhrmann and Chu werenât even nominated for these films. Wickedâs other Critics Choice Awards were best production design and best costume design.
Emilia PĂ©rez won best foreign language film, best original song for âEl Mal,â and best supporting actress for Zoe Saldaña, who was took the lead on singing âEl Malâ in the film.
Trending on Billboard
The Substance won best actress for Demi Moore, best original screenplay and best hair & make-up.
Films receiving two awards were A Real Pain, Conclave and Challengers.
âEl Mal,â co-written by ClĂ©ment Ducol, Camille and Jacques Audiard, also won the Golden Globe Award for best original song on Jan. 5. With these two wins, âEl Malâ appears to be the front-runner in the race for best original song at the Oscars.
Trent Reznor & Atticus Rossâ acclaimed score for Challengers won the Critics Choice Award for best original score, just as it won at the Golden Globes. But it cannot win the Oscar as it wasnât even nominated. Itâs just the third film score to win both the Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award and not even be nominated at the Oscars. The first two were Howard Shoreâs score for The Aviator and Justin Hurwitzâs score for First Man.
Chelsea Handler hosted the Critics Choice Awards for the third year in a row. The show was originally set for Sunday, Jan. 12, but was postponed to Sunday, Jan. 26, and then postponed again, because of wind-whipped wildfires in Los Angeles that began on Jan. 7. The three-hour show, which included awards for both film and television, aired at 7 p.m. ET/PT on E!. The show will also be available to stream the next day on Peacock.
Hereâs the full list of nominations on the film side for the 2025 Critics Choice Awards, with winners marked.

In the latest âWho green lights these movies?â news, it seems like Paramount Pictures is in desperate need for attention and cash as theyâve just released a trailer for their new Smurfs movie and all we can say is, âWell, at least Rihanna is getting that bag.â
Thatâs right, your favorite Bad Girl, Riri, is starring as the voice of Smurfette in Paramount Picturesâ fourth installment into the live-action Smurfs franchise. The question is did the previous Smurfs films make that much money at the box office to justify making another movie? We donât know but itâs happening, and if the first teaser trailer is any indication of what we can expect, itâll once again be family fun for everyone except probably the parents.
After Papa Smurf is abducted by a UFO of sorts, itâs on Smurfette (Rihanna) and the rest of the Smurfs to save him, and that ultimately leads them to our reality where they encounter different groups of Smurfs and get reacquainted with their arch nemesis, Gargamel, and his brother, Razamel.
Yeah, this might be a hard pass for us, yâall. Still, good for Rihanna for getting that bag.
Check out the trailer to Smurfs below and let us know if youâll be checking it out when it hits theaters July 18. We have a feeling we already know the answer though.

Just when it seemed like the Jurassic Park franchise mightâve wrapped up after the events of Jurassic World: Dominion, Universal Pictures has decided to revisit the world in which dinosaurs exist in modern times with a sequel to the Jurassic Park series but prequel to the Jurassic World trilogy. Yeah, exactly.
Source: Universal Pictures / Jurassic World Rebirth
According to Variety, Jurassic World: Rebirth is set to stomp into theaters this coming July and will be taking place five years before the events of 2015âs Jurassic World, which starred Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. Universal Pictures released the trailer to the Gareth Edwards feature earlier today (Feb. 5) and from the looks of it, itâs going to be one prehistoric ride in modern times.
Starring Scarlett Johanson as covert ops specialist Zora Bennett, the film centers around a teamâs mission to secure genetic material from three of the biggest dinosaurs roaming what was once known as Jurassic Park. With hopes of cracking a medical breakthrough to save millions of lives, Bennett leads a team of scientists and others to the abandoned island only to learn that dinosaurs arenât exactly domesticated and rather, well, territorial.
Needless to say, things go left almost immediately as thereâs no actual playbook on how to deal with deadly and carnivorous prehistoric beasts.
Per Variety:
The cast also includes Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Ed Skrein, Mahershala Ali, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, Philippine Velge, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda and Bechir Sylvain.
Bailey plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Ali plays Duncan Kincaid, Zoraâs partner; and Friend plays Martin Krebs, a representative for the drug corporation financing the mission. Velge, Sylvain and Skrein are said to play team members reporting to Zora.
We got Blade linking up with Black Widow in the Jurassic Park franchise before we got to see him in a Marvel cinematic movie. What the hell, man?!
