It tells a story of a forbidden love between Heathclif and Catherine Earnshaw, childhood friends who later turned into passionate lovers, meanwhile Earnshaw has another lover. So she’s torn between her childhood love and a man with high social status.

In the movie, Heathclif was an orphan who was brought into a prestigious family but later on embarked on a love affair with their daughter Catherine. But what will the society say about that bond? It’s set to be doomed.

Cast and Characters

Jacob Elordi plays the role of Heathclif, Catherine’s passionate lover. Other cast members of the movie include Alison Oliver as Isabella Linton, Latif Shazad as Edgar Linton, and Hong Chau as Dean Nelly.

In an early interview with Deadline in April 2025, Elordi applauded everyone involved saying “The performances from everyone—it’s breathtaking, It’s an incredible romance. It’s a true epic. It’s visually beautiful. The script is beautiful. The costumes are incredible.”

Everything about the trailer

It was released on September 3, and from those few parts from the film that was revealed, Fennell promises the most exciting and sexiest “Wuthering Heights” adaptation.

From the back and forth heated moments between Catherine and Heathclif to the romantic flashbacks she kept on having about him, this movie will keep you on your toes and your eyes glued to your screens.

Where’s “Wuthering Heights” being filmed?

The BBC revealed some locations including valleys such as Surrender Bridge, Arkengarthdale, and Swaledale, the village of Low Row. The filming began in 2025, with shooting locations in the Yorkshire Dales National Park in England.

That’s where Robbie was first seen on set in paparazzi photos published in March 2025. In the photos, she was seen in what appeared to be a wedding scene, dressed in a voluminous white ball gown, a diamond tiara on a long flowy veil with a bridal bouquet in her hand.

What fans are saying

The casting stirred up a few controversies. Fans who read the novel were quick to point out that Elordi’s identity as a white man differs from the character he played as Bronte described Heathclif as a non-white character.

Also, from the paparazzi photos where Robbie was seen, the book lovers also pointed out that the novel described Catherine’s character as having dark-brown hair while Margot was seen with her signature blonde hair.

Early next year, we will find out if Fennell’s version will remain true to the original novel. Although, the casting director had told Deadline in April 2025 that there are “definitely going to be some English Lit fans that are not going to be happy” with the new interpretation.

Where can I watch the movie?

“Wuthering Heights” is set to be released on February 13, 2026 and will be available in theaters.

The New ‘Street Fighter’ Movies Looks Like Fun | Watch the Trailer

Published

The latest trailer for Street Fighter makes one thing clear: director Kitao Sakurai is not trying to make Capcom’s fighting-game franchise look like an ordinary action film. The footage embraces the characters, signature moves and heightened style that have defined the games, while placing Ryu, Ken and Chun-Li at the centre of a story set in 1993.

Andrew Koji plays Ryu, with Noah Centineo as Ken Masters and Callina Liang as Chun-Li. Ryu and Ken have become estranged when Chun-Li brings them together for the World Warrior Tournament. Behind the competition, however, is a conspiracy that forces the two former friends to confront their past and each other.

The tournament brings several of the franchise’s most recognisable fighters into the same story. David Dastmalchian plays M. Bison, Jason Momoa is Blanka, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson plays Balrog and Cody Rhodes takes on Guile. Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i plays Akuma, Orville Peck is Vega, Andrew Schulz plays Dan Hibiki, Vidyut Jammwal plays Dhalsim and Olivier Richters plays Zangief. Hirooki Goto appears as E. Honda, while Rayna Vallandingham plays Juli and Alexander Volkanovski plays Joe. Kyle Mooney and Melanie Jarnson also appear as Marvin and Cammy.

The casting brings together actors with performers from professional wrestling, music, comedy and combat sports. Momoa is also one of the film’s producers, alongside Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Takayuki Nakayama and Stefan Makhoul.

Sakurai’s approach is central to the film’s identity. The director has said he wanted to make something that did not feel like a conventional video-game movie, while retaining the nostalgia attached to the games.

The trailers reflect that decision. Ryu uses his Hadoken, Ken performs the Shoryuken and E. Honda demonstrates his Hundred Hand Slap. Chun-Li’s fighting style is also featured, while Dhalsim’s stretching abilities, M. Bison’s Psycho Power and other familiar techniques are brought into the live-action setting.

The references extend beyond individual moves. An earlier trailer showed Ken attacking a car, recalling the vehicle-destruction bonus stages associated with Street Fighter II. The characters’ costumes and appearances also remain close to their game counterparts rather than being redesigned into conventional martial-arts film attire.

The latest footage gives E. Honda particular attention, while Blanka’s appearance relies on visual effects. Guile is shown in his familiar military-inspired look, although the trailers have not yet prominently featured his signature Sonic Boom or Flash Kick. Another brief detail shows Ryu with glowing red eyes, though the footage does not explain the significance of the moment.

The trailer also leans into the exaggerated qualities of the source material. Bright costumes, stylised combat and the fighters’ unusual abilities sit alongside the more conventional elements of the tournament story, keeping the film closely connected to the visual language of the games.

The promotional campaign has followed the same approach. When the latest trailer was released in Japan, Paramount and Legendary accompanied it with a World Warrior Tour event in Tokyo featuring members of the cast and Sakurai. The trailer was also launched as an interactive YouTube experience, allowing viewers to follow prompts and perform virtual Street Fighter combinations while watching the footage.

Behind the film is a production team with direct ties to the franchise. Sakurai directs and co-writes the screenplay with T.J. Fixman, while the story is credited to Dalan Musson and Gary Dauberman. The film is produced by Legendary Pictures and Capcom, with Paramount Pictures handling its theatrical release. Nakayama, the director of Street Fighter 6, is also among the producers.

This is the third live-action Street Fighter film, following the 1994 adaptation starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and the 2009 Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. The new film takes a different approach, keeping the franchise’s arcade identity visible through its characters, fighting techniques, costumes and tournament setting.

Street Fighter is scheduled to open in cinemas on October 16, 2026.

Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson Reunite in ‘Brothers’ Trailer, Giving Fans Exactly What They Wanted

Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are bringing their real-life friendship into the new comedy series Brothers, and the trailer is hinting at the question fans have wondered about for years: could the two friends actually be brothers?

Apple TV released the first trailer for the series on August 25, portraying the longtime friends as fictionalized versions of themselves. The trailer opens with McConaughey banging his chest in front of a mirror while Harrelson takes deep breaths with his hands on his temples.

As the trailer unfolds, the long-running question of whether the two friends could actually be related becomes the source of chaos after Harrelson’s daughter’s engagement falls apart, prompting him to take his family to McConaughey’s Austin ranch for an extended stay. Things get more complicated when McConaughey’s mother, Ma Mac, played by Holland Taylor, reveals a decades-old secret suggesting the two friends could actually be half-brothers.

McConaughey and Harrelson have spoken publicly about the possibility that they could share a biological father. Harrelson previously told Esquire magazine that there’s a lot of coincidences surrounding their families, including the fact that “his mother had a relationship with McConaughey’s father around the time McConaughey was conceived.” Although, the two have never taken a DNA test to confirm whether they are related.

Brothers also marks another on-screen reunion for the pair, who previously starred together in the first season of HBO’s True Detective in 2014. They also appeared in EDtv and Surfer, Dude.

The eight-episode comedy series comes from showrunner and executive producer Lee Eisenberg, with McConaughey and Harrelson also serving as executive producers. Other cast includes Natalie Martinez, Brittany Ishibashi, Nolan Almeida, Ella Grace Helton, Noah Carganilla, Highdee Kuan, Oona Yaffe and Holland Taylor.

Brothers will premiere with two episodes on September 23 on Apple TV, followed by a new episode every Wednesday through November 4.

Marvel’s New ‘X-Men’ Movie: Everything We Know So Far

Published

18 August 2026

Trisha Dona

Marvel’s new X-Men movie has its cast, director and release date, giving the long-awaited reboot a defined shape for the first time. Sadie Sink will return as Jean Grey, joined by Kit Connor as Cyclops, Christopher Abbott as Professor X, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Maya Boyd as Storm, Inde Navarrette as Rogue and Adam Driver as Mister Sinister. Jake Schreier, who directed Thunderbolts, is directing, while Lee Sung Jin and Joanna Calo are developing the screenplay.

The film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on May 5, 2028. Much of what happens between now and then remains undisclosed, including the full story and whether additional characters will join the announced cast. What Marvel has confirmed already, however, points to a new version of the X-Men built specifically for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Sadie Sink Will Return as Jean Grey

Sink is the only member of the new team who audiences will have already seen in the MCU.

She plays Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, where the character is introduced as a powerful telepath. Jean’s storyline in the film brings her into conflict with Spider-Man before she ultimately helps him.

Her appearance establishes Jean before the new X-Men film, giving Marvel a character who can move directly from one MCU project into the team story.

Jean Grey has long been one of the most important characters in the X-Men mythology. Her telepathic abilities have made her one of the team’s most powerful members, while her relationships with the other mutants have been central to numerous X-Men stories.

Marvel has not yet explained what happens to Jean after Spider-Man: Brand New Day or how her existing storyline will lead into the new film.

The New X-Men Cast

The new lineup brings together actors from film and television for some of Marvel’s most recognisable mutant characters.

Kit Connor as Cyclops
Connor will play Scott Summers, known as Cyclops. The character has traditionally been one of the X-Men’s principal members and leaders.

Christopher Abbott as Professor X

Abbott will portray Charles Xavier, the telepath who has traditionally founded and led the X-Men. Xavier’s school provides a place where young mutants can learn to understand and control their abilities.

Samara Weaving as Emma Frost
Weaving will play Emma Frost, a prominent mutant whose history with the X-Men stretches across Marvel’s comics.

Maya Boyd as Storm
Boyd takes on the role of Storm, one of the franchise’s most established characters.

Inde Navarrette as Rogue
Navarrette will portray Rogue, another longtime member of the X-Men.

Adam Driver as Mister Sinister
Driver will play Mister Sinister, who is confirmed as the film’s villain.

The announced lineup does not necessarily represent the entire cast. Marvel has not revealed every character who will appear in the film.

Jake Schreier Is Directing

Schreier’s appointment places the director at the centre of Marvel’s new approach to the franchise. He previously directed Thunderbolts, which also brought him into contact with the writers now working on X-Men.

Lee Sung Jin and Joanna Calo are developing the screenplay. Sung Jin created Beef, while Calo is a writer and co-showrunner on The Bear. Both worked with Schreier before, giving the three filmmakers an existing creative relationship.

Schreier confirmed that the screenplay was being developed earlier this year. The story is still being worked on, and Marvel has not released a detailed synopsis.

Kevin Feige has described the project as youth-oriented, reflecting the way the X-Men have traditionally been portrayed in the comics. The new cast also gives the film a different age profile from the previous franchise.

What We Know About the Story

The actual plot remains one of the film’s biggest unanswered questions.

The X-Men mythology centres on mutants whose abilities emerge naturally and set them apart from the wider human population. That difference has traditionally created fear, discrimination and conflict, while Professor X has sought peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans.

His school has also been an important part of the mythology, providing a place where young mutants can learn to control their powers and understand their abilities.

Those elements are established parts of the X-Men universe, but Marvel has not confirmed exactly how they will be used in the new film.
There is also no information yet about the circumstances that bring Jean Grey, Cyclops, Storm, Rogue, Emma Frost and Professor X together. Mister Sinister is confirmed as the antagonist, but his role in the story has not been revealed.

A New Team for the MCU

The film will introduce a new group of actors to roles previously played by stars of the Fox-era X-Men films.

Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, James Marsden, Rebecca Romijn, Alan Cumming and Kelsey Grammer are among the actors associated with the earlier franchise. Several of those performers are returning in Avengers: Doomsday, while Jackman is again playing Wolverine.

Their return does not mean that the previous cast will lead the new X-Men movie. Marvel is using the current MCU storyline to bring elements of the earlier franchise into its wider universe while establishing a different cast for the future.
That distinction is expected to become clearer through the next two Avengers films.

How Avengers: Doomsday Fits In

Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to arrive in December 2026, almost two years before the new X-Men film.

The film will feature several returning members of the original X-Men cast, placing those characters alongside the MCU’s established heroes. It will be followed by Avengers: Secret Wars, another major entry in Marvel’s multiverse storyline.

The two films are expected to play an important role in the transition between different versions of Marvel’s characters.

For the X-Men, that creates a clear divide between the returning characters appearing in Doomsday and the new team Marvel is assembling for its 2028 film. Exactly how the two versions will relate to each other remains unconfirmed.

Marvel Has Already Begun Introducing Mutants

The studio has been laying the groundwork for mutants across the MCU for several years.
Mutant-related elements have appeared in WandaVision, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and The Marvels. Professor X also appeared in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, played by Patrick Stewart.

Those appearances helped establish that mutants and the X-Men mythology could exist within Marvel’s expanding universe without immediately introducing the full team.
Jean Grey’s appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day takes that process further. Unlike a brief reference, her character is now directly connected to the new X-Men film through Sink’s casting.

What Happens Beyond the First Film?

Marvel has not announced a sequel.
Schreier has nevertheless spoken about the potential for future X-Men stories, including material from the comics that has not been explored extensively in previous film adaptations. For now, the priority remains the first movie, but the filmmakers have considered possible directions for the characters beyond it.
That does not confirm additional films. Marvel’s only announced project at this stage is the 2028 movie.

When Will the New X-Men Movie Be Released?

Marvel’s new X-Men movie is scheduled for May 5, 2028.

Jake Schreier is directing, with Lee Sung Jin and Joanna Calo developing the screenplay.

Marvel has not yet revealed the complete plot, full cast or trailer. For now, the film’s confirmed details establish the foundation: a new generation of X-Men characters, a new creative team and a place for the mutants within the MCU that will take shape alongside the events of Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
