Predator: Killer of Killers brings animated action to Hulu this June
20th Century Studios' animated film Predator: Killer of Killers premieres June 6, 2025, exclusively on Hulu.
Directed by Dan Trachtenberg (Prey), with Josh Wassung of The Third Floor serving as co-director, Predator: Killer of Killers explores three brutal time periods through an anthology-style narrative. Written by Micho Robert Rutare, the story follows a Viking raider seeking vengeance alongside her son, a ninja in feudal Japan battling his samurai brother, and a WWII fighter pilot investigating a mysterious airborne threat.
While each warrior is deadly in their own right, they all become prey to the ultimate enemy: the Predator—an extraterrestrial hunter known as the 'killer of killers.'
The film is produced by John Davis, Dan Trachtenberg, Marc Toberoff, and Ben Rosenblatt, with executive producers including Lawrence Gordon, James E. Thomas, John C. Thomas, and Stefan Grube.
Predator: Killer of Killers builds on the success of 2022's Prey and aims to expand the Predator franchise into bold new creative territory through animation. By blending historical action, sci-fi, and horror with stylized animation, the film offers a fresh take on the legendary Predator mythology.
With high-caliber talent behind the project and an exclusive Hulu release, Predator: Killer of Killers is positioned to be a standout streaming event for fans of action, animation, and the Predator legacy.

Jeremy Allen White channels Bruce Springsteen in first trailer for ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere' biopic
Jeremy Allen White, best known for his Emmy-winning role in The Bear, steps into the shoes of legendary musician Bruce Springsteen in Deliver Me From Nowhere, the upcoming biopic that explores the making of Springsteen's 1982 album Nebraska. The first trailer for the film was released this week, offering a glimpse into White's intense transformation into the rock icon. Directed by Scott Cooper, known for Crazy Heart, the film is based on Warren Zanes' book chronicling the deeply personal journey behind Nebraska, a stark and emotionally raw album that marked a turning point in Springsteen's career. Cooper, who previously led Jeff Bridges to an Oscar win for his role in Crazy Heart, directs a star-studded ensemble cast for the new project. Joining White in the cast is Succession and The Apprentice actor Jeremy Strong, portraying longtime Springsteen manager Jon Landau. Stephen Graham plays Douglas Springsteen, the singer's father, while Paul Walter Hauser appears as engineer Mike Batlan. Odessa Young co-stars as Faye, a love interest, and Marc Maron takes on the role of producer Chuck Plotkin. The supporting cast also includes Johnny Cannizzaro as guitarist Steve Van Zandt, Harrison Gilbertson as Matt Delia, David Krumholtz as Columbia Records executive Al Teller, and Chris Jaymes as mastering engineer Dennis King. Deliver Me From Nowhere is produced by 20th Century Studios, a division of Disney, in collaboration with Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Eric Robinson of the Gotham Group. Both Bruce Springsteen and Jon Landau are involved in the production, lending authenticity to the project. The film joins a growing wave of musician biopics following in the footsteps of Elvis, Bohemian Rhapsody, and A Complete Unknown, with many garnering awards attention.

Wonderfully weird world of Gumball premieres July 28 on Hulu and Disney+
The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball is officially set to premiere on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ on July 28, 2025, according to Ray Flook of Bleeding Cool. This updated version of the hit animated series The Amazing World of Gumball marks a new chapter for the beloved characters of Elmore, as the show adopts a new title and promises even more chaotic fun. The rebranded series comes from original creator Ben Bocquelet, with Matt Layzell and Erik Fountain on board as executive producers and series directors. According to the official description, the name change reflects the show's shift toward "even wilder stories, bigger twists, and surreal humor." The announcement was accompanied by a new key art poster teasing the madness to come. Since its debut in 2011, The Amazing World of Gumball has earned a loyal following for its sharp humor, unique animation style, and layered storytelling — elements fans hope to see amplified in the reboot. The series' return has already generated buzz, including its anticipated presence at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, where past installments offered first looks and behind-the-scenes insights. Set once again in the eccentric town of Elmore, the reboot follows Gumball as he battles fast food villains, AI love interests, and neighborhood absurdities. The returning voice cast includes Alkaio Thiele as Gumball, Hero Hunter as Darwin, Kinza Syed Khan as Anais, and others, with Xav Clarke composing and Joe Sparrow directing the art. 'We haven't grown up much since we last saw them… and neither have Gumball and Darwin,' said Bocquelet, Layzell, and Fountain in a joint statement. Fans can expect the same chaotic energy — just turned up a notch — when The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball hits screens this July.

How To Train Your Dragon' tops box office
Reboot marks the fourth film in the franchise. Photo: File How to Train Your Dragon, a live-action reboot of a popular 2010 animated film, roared to the top of the North American box office with $83.7 million in weekend ticket sales, industry estimates showed on Sunday. The family-friendly film from Universal and DreamWorks Animation tells the story of a friendship between a Viking named Hiccup (Mason Thames) and a dragon called Toothless. "This is an excellent opening for a live-action animation remake, and it's especially good for the fourth episode in a series like this," said David A Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. Disney's Lilo & Stitch, another live-action remake, kept up its excellent summer returns with $15.5 million, Exhibitor Relations said. So far, the film about Hawaiian girl Lilo (Maia Kealoha) and her blue alien friend Stitch (Chris Sanders) has grossed nearly $860 million worldwide. Debuting in third place is A24's Materialists, a sophisticated rom-com starring Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, at $12 million. "It's a grown-up story that's well-timed as summer counter-programming," Gross said. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning – the latest, and ostensibly last, in the hugely successful Tom Cruise spy thriller series based on a 1960s TV show – held its own in fourth place at $10.3 million. The Paramount film has now topped the $500 million mark worldwide. In fifth place was Lionsgate's Ballerina, a John Wick spin-off starring Ana de Armas as a dancer turned contract killer, and co-starring Anjelica Huston. Keanu Reeves makes a brief appearance as the hitman Wick. It took in $9.4 million. Rounding out the top 10 were Karate Kid: Legends ($5 million), Final Destination: Bloodlines ($3.9 million), The Phoenician Scheme ($3.1 million), The Life of Chuck ($2.1 million), and Sinners ($1.5 million). afp
