Spider-Man 4, 28 Years Later, Beyond The Spider-Verse And More At The Sony Pictures 2025 CinemaCon Panel - Live Blog

We're in our seats, waiting for the presentation to begin! Everyone is speculating as to what we'll see, and a journalist within earshot just floated the word Zelda... we'll see!

A montage showed off 2024’s offerings, including Deadpool & Wolverine, Bad Boys, Wicked Little Letters, Dune 2, It Ends With Us, A Quiet Place: Day One, The Substance, A Complete Unknown, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Wicked, and more! Afterward, CinemaCon's Managing Director reminded us that we are about to see exclusive, never-before-seen footage.

And we're off! An introduction video featured Paul Rudd and Jack Black on the set of Anaconda. They hilariously introduced Tom Rothman, Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Tom Rothman teased a film folks have wanted for years, specifically, "28 years." Academy Award winner Danny Boyle has now taken the stage, and is humorously explaining how he hasn't learned anything new in the last 28 years, but regardless, he's going to show us the next trailer for 28 Years Later.

The trailer was more of a teaser, but was fantastic nonetheless. The big standout was Ralph Fiennes, whose haunting and disheveled presence was enough to keep us stoked on 28 Years Later. Danny Boyle also joked that Aaron Taylor-Johnson "might" be the next Bond... more on that later.

The folks behind the Spider-Verse films, including Phil Lord, presented the first teaser trailer for Beyond The Spider-Verse. They promised more groundbreaking animation, which was present in the trailer, but the audio was mostly a compilation of the previous two films. However, we got an official release date...

June 4 2027!

Now we have Darren Aronofsky on stage, introducing his next film Caught Stealing! It looks unlike anything he's ever done. The pacing feels closer to Requiem For A Dream, and the tone feels similar to Edgar Wright's Baby Driver. Austin Butler and Zoë Kravitz look fantastic, and the whole cast is stacked.

Zach Cregger came out to briefly hype his upcoming film, Resident Evil, and expressed how much the game and the franchise means to him.

We saw exclusive new footage from A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell look fantastic in this whimsical yet dramatic sci-fi film. It has the feel of a lighthearted episode of Black Mirror, and reminds one of Her given the romantic element.

Stephen Curry was announced to the stage, and the crowd roared!... only to realize that it was just a video presentation. He, as the G.O.A.T., was present via video to hype his upcoming animated film, Goat. He'll be voicing a baller, who is also a literal goat. A little on the nose? You be the judge.

We got a first look at I Know What You Did Last Summer! It contained: brutal murder, lots of blood, threatening messages written on steamed glass, and Jennifer Love Hewitt literally saying, "What did you do last Summer?"

Zelda! We've got Zelda! Wes Ball of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is directing. We did not get any footage, obviously, but they hyped it up by playing the original Nintendo game's theme song, and the crowd went wild. They also provided us with a release date of March 26, 2027!

Ralph Macchio has taken the stage alongside his new costar Ben Wang to give us an exclusive look at their new film, Karate Kid: Legends! After gushing about Jackie Chan, they introduced what they told us were their "favorite scenes."

One had Jackie Chan surprising Wang's character in his apartment with a nighttime sneak attack. It was obviously a training segment, and was charming as hell.

The next scene featured Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio's first encounter, with Chan paying tribute at a shrine of Mr. Miyagi. Ralph Macchio's Daniel LaRusso refuses to follow Jackie Chan to New York, and Chan's Mr. Han says, "I will see you at the Big Apple."

Finally, we got an exclusive new trailer, which they told us will be online for everyone to see tomorrow!

It's happening, folks... Destin Daniel Cretton has taken the stage to talk about Spider-Man 4! Stay tuned.

Destin Daniel Cretton is gushing about his history with Spider-Man, being so bold as to tell us that "Spider-Man" was his son’s first word! He exclaims that he’s going to tell us something about the film that no one else knows, as is CinemaCon tradition, and throws it to a video of Tom Holland. Holland thanks the exhibitors for their support, and addresses that massive cliffhanger at the end of No Way Home. He then reveals something major…

Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be released July 31 2026!

Sam Mendes has taken the stage after Sony promised "one more thing," throwing back to the catchphrase of the late Steve Jobs. One more thing indeed, or perhaps, FOUR more things? Mendes announced that four Beatles films will be coming to theaters, all in April of 2028!

To finish out the show, they announced the cast, who all took the stage to give a quick Beatles bow.

Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney.

Joseph Quinn as George Harrison.

Barry Keoghan as Ringo Star.

Harris Dickinson as John Lennon.

And that's all, folks! Tune in tomorrow as Lionsgate and Warner Brothers show us their slate for 2025!
