It’s a bird … it’s a plane … it’s the Supergirl official trailer.

Warner Bros. Pictures released the full-length trailer for the upcoming superhero film on Tuesday.

Milly Alcock stars as the titular Supergirl/Kara Zor-El in the second film in the new DC Universe. Craig Gillespie directs the superhero film about Clark Kent’s cousin from a script written by Ana Nogueira.

The movie follows what happens “when an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home,” according to its official synopsis. “Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.”

The trailer opens to a video message that Kara receives from her cousin Superman.

“Hey, I was just touching base to see when you think you might be coming back. You know, I’m just worried that you’re not gonna find your stride here if you keep going off-world all the time, Kara,” Clark Kent says. “I’m worried you’re not going to find your people.”

“Yeah, well, that’s the thing, Clark. I have no people,” she says in return.

The trailer then follows the relationship between Kara and her pet dog, Krypto, establishing that he is her most important connection. That’s until Krypto is poisoned by henchmen of the film’s villain, Krem of the Yellow Hills. She discovers she must give him the antidote within three days, or she’ll lose him forever.

“You cannot give up on me,” Supergirl tells her beloved dog.

Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham and Jason Momoa also star in the movie.

Supergirl flies into theaters on June 26.

The official trailer for Masters of the Universe has arrived.

Amazon MGM Studios released the full-length trailer for the upcoming live-action film based on Mattel’s franchise of the same name on Tuesday.

Travis Knight directs the movie, which stars Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man and Camila Mendes as Teela.

The trailer finds Galitzine’s He-Man reminiscing on his years away from his home world and living on Earth, where he was known by the name Adam Glenn.

“I know most of you don’t remember me, but I know all of you. Even though I was stuck light-years away on Earth, I never stopped trying to get back home,” He-Man says.

We also see Mendes’ Teela accompanying He-Man on his journey back home.

“Everything changed since you left,” she tells him as they fly above the war-torn landscape.

The trailer also shows off the villainous character of Skeletor, played by Jared Leto.

“The universe shall quake in my shadow,” Skeletor says. “You may have the power, but you’re too scared to use it.”

He-Man simply responds, “Trust me, I know how to use it.”

The Masters of the Universe cast is rounded out by Morena Baccarin, James Purefoy, Alison Brie, Charlotte Riley, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Idris Elba, Sam C. Wilson, Hafthor Bjornsson, Kojo Attah, Sasheer Zamata, Jon Xue Zhang and Christian Vunipola.

Mariska Hargitay is headed to the Great White Way.

The Law & Order: SVU star is set to make her Broadway debut in May. She’ll be taking over for Daniel Radcliffe in the one-person play Every Brilliant Thing beginning May 26.

“I read Every Brilliant Thing and cried, rejoiced, laughed, cried some more, and loved it so much,” Hargitay says in a statement. “I’m always drawn to themes of healing and renewal, especially when the journey is rendered in all its complexity.”

She says making her Broadway debut with such a life-affirming play is an “extraordinary gift” and “the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.”

“For me, the triumph of this beautiful piece of work—this luminously brilliant thing—is that through a deeply personal story, we experience the universal endeavor of keeping ourselves pointed towards light, compassion and hope,” Hargitay says.

Every Brilliant Thing, which relies heavily on audience participation, follows the central character as they look back on their life through a list of all the little things that make life worth living.

Radcliffe will complete his run on May 24. The show has extended its run through June 28.

The trailer for the documentary thriller film #SKYKING has arrived.

This new documentary from ABC News Studios tells the story of Richard “Beebo” Russell, a 28-year-old Horizon Air ground service agent who stole a $33 million plane and embarked on a 70-minute long flight.

Emmy winner Patricia E. Gillespie directed the film, which, along with telling the story of Russell, also offers a look into the U.S. mental health crisis.

This documentary also marks the first time many members of Russell’s family have spoken publicly about his story. It includes never-before-heard air traffic control audio, as well as an interview with the now-retired ATC supervisor who managed the situation on the 2018 day that the incident occurred.

The trailer finds interviewees wondering how Russell was able to get the vehicle into the air all by himself despite never having flown an airplane before.

“I play video games, so, you know, I know what I’m doing a little bit,” Russell said in air-traffic control audio used in the trailer.

#SKYKING premieres on Hulu April 14.

Kim Novak says Sydney Sweeney is ‘totally wrong’ to play her in upcoming film

Kim Novak is speaking out about the upcoming drama Scandalous, saying she would have “never approved” the film about her relationship with Sammy Davis Jr., which is set to star Sydney Sweeney as Novak.

Novak told The Times of London in an interview that was published on Friday that Sweeney “sticks out so much above the waist.”

She also expressed concern that the film would focus too heavily on the sexual side of her relationship with Davis Jr. rather than their personal connection.

“There’s no way it wouldn’t be a sexual relationship because Sydney Sweeney looks sexy all the time,” Novak said. “She was totally wrong to play me.”

ABC News has reached out to Sweeney’s representative, but did not hear back immediately.

The project was first reported by Deadline in October 2024, with Colman Domingo attached to direct and Miramax developing the film. In addition to Sweeney, David Jonsson is set to star as Davis Jr.

In contrast to Novak’s comments, Sweeney told People in October 2025 that she is “incredibly honored” to take on the role.

“I think her story is still very relevant today in that she dealt with Hollywood and scrutiny with her relationships and her own private life and the control of her image,” she said at the time. “And I think that for me, I relate to it in a lot of different ways.”

Novak and Davis Jr. first met in 1956 when they both appeared as guests on The Steve Allen Show.

Their relationship became public in 1958 after a Chicago newspaper columnist reported on their romance and suggested they might marry, according to Hitchcock’s Blondes: The Unforgettable Women Behind the Legendary Director’s Dark Obsession by Laurence Leamer.

Novak denied the report, and days later, Davis Jr. married singer Loray White; their marriage lasted about a year.

Novak later married actor Richard Johnson in 1965, and after their divorce, she went on to marry veterinarian Robert Malloy in 1976. The couple remained together until he died in 2021.

Miley Cyrus’ ‘Hannah Montana special’ — and its music — are streaming successes

For a show that didn’t exist until Miley Cyrus spoke it into existence, the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special has been quite a hit.

The Disney+ and Hulu special debuted March 24 and featured Miley singing Hannah Montana hits, reminiscing on a replica of the show’s set, sitting down for an interview with Call Her Daddy’s Alex Cooper and welcoming guests like Selena Gomez and Chappell Roan. According to Disney, it drew 6.3 million viewers after just three days of streaming.

What’s more, it apparently inspired people to revisit the original series, which ran from 2006 to 2011. According to Disney, after the special debuted, viewership of Hannah Montana increased by 1,000%.  Overall, the special has been streamed for more than half a billion hours globally on Disney+.

In addition, on the day the special debuted, Spotify streams “This Is the Life,” which Miley performed, increased by nearly 750%. “Best of Both Worlds,” another song she sang in the special, increased in streams by more than 600%.

Meanwhile, other songs included in the special saw boosts as well: Streams of “Wherever I Go” increased by close to 540%, while “Ordinary Girl” rose by about 430%.

Miley released the new song she wrote for the special, “Younger You,” on Friday, along with a nostalgic video.

As previously reported, Miley told Variety that she acted on advice from her godmother Dolly Parton and “started promoting a Hannah Montana 20th-anniversary special that literally did not exist.”  As everyone got excited about it, Miley was then able to tell Disney that the show “would be huge.”

As a result, Disney exec Charlie Andrews told Variety, Miley “willed it into existence.”
