Marvel’s Wonder Man pulls back the curtain on Hollywood itself. Aspiring actor Simon Williams finds himself chasing a career-changing opportunity when a legendary director announces a reboot of the superhero film “Wonder Man.” Alongside him is Trevor Slattery, an actor whose glory days may be behind him.

Send Help

Directed by Sam Raimi, Send Help traps two coworkers on a deserted island after a plane crash and lets the psychological games begin. What starts as a survival story quickly turns into a darkly funny battle of wills. Starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien, the film leans into tension, twisted humor, and just enough chaos to keep you guessing who will crack first.
Psycho Killer

This chilling road-trip thriller follows a Kansas highway patrol officer hunting down her husband’s murderer across the country. As the pursuit escalates, she realizes she’s dealing with a sadistic serial killer whose motivations go far beyond revenge.

Hoppers

Pixar gets delightfully weird with Hoppers. The animated adventure follows Mabel, an animal lover who uses experimental technology to transfer her consciousness into a robotic beaver. What she discovers is a hidden animal society with big personalities, big mysteries, and a looming human threat. With a stacked voice cast and playful sci-fi energy, this one feels primed to charm kids and adults alike.

The galaxy’s favorite duo heads to the big screen.
