The footage leans heavily into nostalgia, revisiting iconic moments from past films as Ethan interfaces with a computer that digitizes his vision. Packed with familiar thrills and high-stakes spectacle, The Final Reckoning positions itself as a greatest-hits farewell for the long-running action series.
Smurfs
Release Date: July 18, 2025
Paramount unveiled a first look at the new animated Smurfs film, led by Rihanna, who also voices Smurfette. The footage opens with Gargamel being humorously muted before cutting to a musical party in Smurf Village set to new Rihanna tracks.
When a mysterious flower transports the Smurfs into the real world, the story shifts into a live-action hybrid adventure involving Gargamel and his brother. Featuring a soft, stylized animation reminiscent of The Peanuts Movie, the film appears aimed squarely at younger audiences with pop-heavy humor and bright visuals.
The SpongeBob Movie: The Search for SquarePants
Release Date: December 19, 2025
Mark Hamill and Tom Kenny introduced the first footage from SpongeBob’s latest big-screen adventure. Framed by a live-action pirate intro, the film sees SpongeBob setting out to become a “big man,” inspiring an epic nautical quest with Patrick in tow.
Their journey leads them straight into the clutches of the Flying Dutchman, who drags them into the underworld for a series of absurd, imagination-fueled challenges. The footage blends live-action and 3D animation, delivering classic SpongeBob chaos with a fresh visual twist.
Roofman
Release Date: October 3, 2025
Derek Cianfrance’s Roofman tells the strange-but-true story of Jeffrey Manchester, a polite thief who robbed dozens of McDonald’s by entering through their roofs. Channing Tatum stars as Manchester, balancing charm, criminal ingenuity, and a deep love for his daughter. It’s a wild story that many of us might remember when it unfolded years ago.
After escaping jail, Manchester hides out in a Walmart attic, forming unexpected relationships with employees played by Kirsten Dunst and Peter Dinklage. Equal parts crime caper and character study, Roofman marks a tonal shift for Cianfrance and looks like a tailor-made star vehicle for Tatum.
The Naked Gun
Release Date: TBA
Paramount also revealed the first trailer for The Naked Gun legacy sequel, directed by Akiva Schaffer and starring Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson, and Paul Walter Hauser. While details remain limited, the footage shows a return to the franchise’s trademark absurdity with a modern comedic spin. This beloved franchise could be a hit with a new generation of moviegoers.
