We first see Dark Helmet’s helmet lying in the sand, and then we see him fighting Yogurt with a five-pronged lightsaber. Oh, and Yogurt’s shirt is sliced open and it reveals he has ripped abs.<\/p>\n
We then got some jokes about “studios merging nily willy,” and this led to Spaceballs actually getting a sequel, and then some more footage shows a Harry Potter parody moment with a bunch of kids, Dark Helmet pressing a red “REBOOT” button, two guys with a giant comb in the desert, and Lone Star with a big beard disembarking a ship. <\/p>\n
Lastly, we see Dark Helmet and Colonel Sandurz going to the bathroom in a urinal and a Na’vi walks up next to them and begins to pee. Dark Helmet looks at his crotch and says, “I see you!” in Na’vi.<\/p>\n
Josh Greenbaum, Bill Pullman, Daphne Zuniga, Josh Gad, Lewis Pullman, and Rick Moranis were all on stage during this, and there was a running gag of Moranis trying to talk but he keeps getting cut off by the others. <\/p>\n
We also hear Dark Helmet say, “Since the age of one, I’ve had two lifelong dreams. To steal the heir of Druida and to open wide on 4,000 screens! I want the theaters with dirty floors that haven’t been cleaned since the first Spaceballs!” He is very serious and even threatens to have Amazon make a bid on Warner Bros. to make this happen.<\/p>\n
Moranis finally is about to get the chance to talk, and begins to mention his childhood in Canada, but he is cut off by Mel Brooks, who says, “I wish I could be with you, but I’m seeing Phish at the Sphere tonight! Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money is not going to be the title, because I found the money!” Brooks then signs off with, “May the Schwartz be with you!”<\/p>\n
Lastly, at the end of the whole presentaion, we got a sizzle reel that included an extra clip from Spaceballs of Josh Gad, who looks very much like Barf (maybe his son?!), saying, “The Schwartz Awakens!”<\/p>\n
Spaceballs: The New One will be released in theaters on April 23, 2027.<\/p>\n
Masters of the Universe Footage Shows the True Power of He-Man<\/p>\n
The footage of Masters of the Universe<\/a> began with Adam in the back of a cop car, and the police are mocking him, saying, “Cool sword, Highlander.” The cop car is stuck in traffic and then we see people running away from their cars. <\/p>\n Beastman leaps onto a truck and roars, and then he slams down onto the cop car and rips the door off. The cops run, and Adam grabs his sword and also gets out of the way. Beastman catches him and knocks him down, he then sends him flying into a truck. He appears hurt, but Teela hurtles down and blasts Beastman with her laser staff and shoots him off the bridge.”<\/p>\n Check out the official trailer of Masters of the Universe below from March.<\/p>\n We then get a moment of the pair recognizing each other, and Teela takes Adam back on a ship to Eternia. <\/p>\n Skeletor is next, and he says, “The universe shall quake in my shadow.” He-Man then launches out on his flying bike, and Skeletor says, “You can pretend to be the hero, but without that sword, who are you?” Skeletor’s henchmen try to take the sword, and we get a fun fight scene of everyone fighting each other. He-Man is seemingly outnumbered, but his incredible strength saves the day and he sends all the foes flying.<\/p>\n Masters of the Universe will be released in theaters on June 5, 2026.<\/p>\n Highlander Is Giving Us John Wick Vibes in the Best Way The Highlander<\/a> segment began with a message from Henry Cavill, who was looking quite disheveled. He isn’t in attendance because they are still filming. He does, however, give us some footage, which is very visually dynamic and features a lot of red lanterns.<\/p>\n The footage is set to Queen’s ‘We Will Rock You,” and we then get a look at Bautista’s character (Kurgan!), who says, “When my sword changes history, you’ll have a front row seat!” Cavill then fights a guy in front of yellow lit up screens, and we thought it evoked John Wick imagery, but even more heightened.<\/p>\n Project Hail Mary Crosses $525 Million at the Global Box Office<\/p>\n Mike Hopkins, the Head of Amazon MGM Studios, shared that Project Hail Mary was their biggest movie ever and that it just crossed $525 million at the global box office. Ryan Gosling was also on stage and confirmed the exclusive theatrical window for the film has been extended.<\/p>\n Thomas Crown Affair Footage Reveals Michael B. Jordan Is After Much More Than a Painting<\/p>\n Amazon MGM’s CinemaCon 2026 presentation kicked off with a musical performance by Thomas Crown Affair<\/a> composer Jon Batiste, who played piano while electronic music was blended in. After that, footage was shown of the film.<\/p>\n We see Michael B. Jordan sitting across from Adria Arjona, and Adria asks Jordan if “this billionaire thing usually works.” He says it usually does and he likes taking risks if “it’s worth it, and then we see him stealing art. <\/p>\n It then cuts to Kenneth Branagh talking about all the art this thief has stolen, and Jordan asks Adria why she left the FBI. She responds by saying, “I didn’t want to be tied down.” It’s then revealed Jordan is planning something way more than a theft and that this job is personal. <\/p>\n Jordan then says to Branagh, “You think this is yours because you bought it? But it’s not.” There is then a big stunt at the end of Jordan being launched up the side of a building.<\/p>\n We then got to hear from the cast, and Jordan revealed he’s been dreaming of mnaking this film for years and that he saw the Brosnan version when he was just 12. He liked that it was about a guy who is “smart, sophisticated, and always three steps ahead.” He also watched the McQueen version and admired his effortless cool and edge. All of this led to him wanting to make this new version, but also to “give Crown a real mission, a real reason.”<\/p>\n Beekeeper 2 Footage Shows Why You Shouldn’t Mess With Jason Statham’s Adam Clay<\/p>\n Jason Statham appeared in a video to introduce Beekeeper 2, looking all fancy and calling us in the crowd his “CinemaCon nerds.”<\/p>\n As for the footage, Jeremy Irons’ Wallace Westwyld begins by saying, “someone is coming to kill you.” We then see tons of soilders ready for a guy in a Cybertruck, who is actually a decoy tied up by Statham’s Adam Clay. <\/p>\n Clay comes in on foot and takes them all out and gets to Westwyld, who said the active beekeepers have gone rogue. The pair are after Agent Parker from the first film, and we then get a glimpse of Pom Klementieff character. We also learn the beekers have kidnapped the president, and Clay is the only one who “can stop this madness. <\/p>\n What follows is fun footage that is very over the top in good ways, including Clay killing a guy with a flamethrower and saying, “Don’t be so hot headed!” <\/p>\n Beekeeper 2 will be released in theaters on January 15, 2027.<\/p>\n I Play Rocky<\/p>\n Peter Farrelly, Anthony Ippolito, AnnaSophia Robb, Stephan James, and Kiki Seto were all on hand to discuss how impactful Rocky was and how iconic it’s become. However, the real amazing story is about the man who made it, Sylvester Stallone. <\/p>\n We then got to see some footage, and we hear Sly talking about how kids used to make fun of him so much he had to change his name to Mike, but Sasha told him to go back to his original name. He’s also told by Matt Dillon’s Frank Stallone Sr. that he doesn’t have the looks to be a movie star, “not to mention you talk like you have rocks in your mouth.”<\/p>\n We then see Sasha telling Sly to write a good part for himself, and Sly refusing to sell the script unless it has him as the star. He ends up taking a lower salary to become the star, and he is given a threat that if the production falls behind, he will be replaced.<\/p>\n The footage ends with Sly saying this is a movie about having a belief in yourself, and the final shot is a funny one of a guy asking Sly how long he’s been boxing. <\/p>\n “I’ve never boxed in my life,” Sly responds, to which the guy says, “Well, that’s kind of a big note.”<\/p>\n I Play Rocky will be released in theaters on November 13, 2026.<\/p>\n The Sheep Detectives Work to Solve a Murder Mystery<\/p>\n Hugh Jackman and Nicholas Braun stopped by CinemaCon to talk The Sheep Detectives, and many sheep puns were made, including “No one I trust more to catch a killer on the lamb.” Jackman also discusses how this film will surprise you with how funny it is and how much it will move you.<\/p>\n In the footage, we see Jackman reading a mystery novel to his sheep, and they get upset when he doesn’t finish. He says he’ll finish in the next day but he is found murdered. The sheep have theories on who the killer is, and they take it upon themselves to solve the mystery. Oh, and apparently there is $30 million on the table, and this proves to be a pretty solid motive.<\/p>\n The Sheep Detectives will baa into theaters on May 8, 2026.<\/p>\n How to Rob a Bank Wants to Teach You the Art of the Crime Online<\/p>\n The footage from How to Rob a Bank begins with Nicholas Hoult leading a group of bank robbers who post heir crimes online. We also see Pete Davidson and John C. Reilly, who says they’ve robbed over 60 banks. It also looks like each of the robbers have crazy outfits and animal masks. <\/p>\n Reilly then notes that they have this hacker (Zoe Kravitz) who they should lose, and Kravitz notes, “There’s just too much footage here for them to not have made a mistake.” We also learn this next job is personal and see Hoult hold a gun up to Christian Slater’s head and say, “Your bank killed my son.” <\/p>\n Lastly, they carjack a guy who says, “Is this How to Rob a Bank? I LOVE your show!”<\/p>\n How to Rob a Bank will be released in theaters on September 4, 2026.<\/p>\n Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother Is Exactly the Film Mahershala Ali Wants to Make<\/p>\n Mahershala Ali and director Bassam Tariq started off this segment talking about faith and fatherhood, and about a loving dad who is also a hitman that wants to protect his community. Ali also notes this is exactly the movie he’s been wanting to make and that he’s been looking for something more physical. <\/p>\n The footage shows Ali’s character dealing with a major loss in his life, and it cuts to John Cho with big hair and a cowboy hat.
