Trailer Reaction & Breakdown for: Supergirl (2025), Street Fighter (2026), & Avengers: Doomsday. We just got three massive trailers we breakdown.
Avengers: Doomsday (Teaser)
The return of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers is real, but people don't see too happy about the return. The teaser shows a retired Steve living a quiet life on a farm with a wedding band and a baby (!)
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)
James Gunn’s DCU just got a whole lot grittier. Milly Alcock looks incredible as a cynical, world-weary Kara Zor-El. This trailer gives us a first look at: Is it just Guardian of the Galaxy again?
Street Fighter (2026)
Street Fighter is making its long-awaited return to the big screen with this brand-new live-action adaptation! This short teaser gives us our first look at the cast and characters, showing exactly how they’ll appear in the film. We also get a clear sense of the tone they’re aiming for—blending gritty martial arts action with a stylish, retro aesthetic. From the iconic costumes to the high-stakes atmosphere, this looks like the reboot fans have been waiting for.

Netflix Taking Over Warner Bros? Paramount Still in the Game. Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery have agreed on a blockbuster $82.7 billion acquisition for Warner’s film, TV and streaming assets (including HBO and HBO Max), which would make Netflix the home of legendary franchises like DC Comics, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and more. This deal is expected to close after regulatory review in 2026.
Wikipedia
Meanwhile, Paramount Skydance has launched a rival, hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros., arguing its all-cash offer and broader coverage of assets—including cable networks—could be better. Warner’s board has so far continued to back the Netflix merger, but the battle isn’t over yet.
Barron's

In this video, we break down:
What the Netflix-Warner deal actually includes — and what it means for movies, shows, and streaming content.

Sydney Sweeney Starts Apologizing — Are Box Office Flops to Blame? Sydney Sweeney recently released a statement saying she does not support hate or divisiveness—but many people online are questioning the timing and intent behind it. In this video, we break down what she actually said, why the statement sparked debate, and whether it feels genuine or strategically motivated.
With several recent projects underperforming at the box office, some critics speculate that the statement may be more about damage control than personal values. Others argue it’s unfair to connect an actor’s beliefs to financial results or internet backlash.
This video explores both sides of the conversation, the public reaction, and the broader trend of celebrity statements during controversy—without jumping to conclusions.

Sorry, Baby - Movie Review. In this video, I review Sorry, Baby, the debut feature written, directed by, and starring Eva Victor.

The review looks at Victor’s performance alongside the supporting cast, the film’s pacing and structure, and how its restrained style affects the emotional impact. I also talk about the direction and writing, and how Sorry, Baby balances awkwardness, vulnerability, and subtle character development.
This is a non-spoiler review meant to give a clear sense of what the film is trying to do and how effectively it comes together.
