🎬 MALEFICENT 3: Dark Fae (2025)
In Maleficent 3: Dark Fae, Angelina Jolie returns as the Dark Fae, while Elle Fanning continues to transform into Aurora – the new Queen of the Moors. The film expands on Maleficent’s origin story as a Dark Fae, while revealing an ancient threat that threatens both the fairy and human worlds.

The teaser opens with a sweeping panoramic view of the magical Moors – where peace and prosperity seemed to have been established. On a towering cliff, Maleficent and Aurora look out over the vast, magical land. Aurora speaks of a new era of harmony between fairies and humans, while Maleficent remains cold and wary. “Peace is fragile,” she warns, her deep voice a stark contrast to Aurora’s optimism.

That silence is quickly shattered by a new force – ancient and fierce. A lost Dark Fae king, Kael (cast not yet announced), rises from the forgotten lands beyond the Moors. From the thick darkness, Kael emerges as a powerful and sinister figure, with a thirst for revenge for his exile and the intention to reclaim the Fae's throne. Each flash of the teaser shows his dark magic spreading like a firestorm, poisoning the Moors and turning life there into a deadly wasteland.

Kael's origins are tied to ancient Fae history. He believes Maleficent has betrayed her race by choosing a path of reconciliation with humans – something he sees as an affront to the Fae's eternal laws. Forced to confront her past and her deep connection to Kael, Maleficent begins to doubt her own place in the Fae world. The teaser moments take her on a journey deep into the Moors, where the secrets of her bloodline and true power are revealed – and perhaps, she is not the only one with “different” powers.

As Kael’s dark army approaches, the bond between Maleficent and Aurora is gradually tested. Aurora is determined to keep peace with humans, while Maleficent is inclined to protect the Fae at all costs. This contrast in ideals creates a simmering tension, becoming the central driving force that drives the story forward.

🩸 THE EXPENDABLES 5: LEGACY OF BLOOD (2025)

“Time made them slower. War made them unstoppable.”
They’ve outlived every mission — but not their ghosts.
When a black-ops unit once buried by Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) resurfaces, the past explodes into the present. Led by a former brother-in-arms turned warlord, this new enemy doesn’t want peace — he wants revenge.
🔥 Ross calls back his old crew: Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Gunner (Lundgren), and a new warrior forged from chaos — Mason Steele (Dwayne Johnson). Together with Vin Diesel, Keanu Reeves, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li, they march toward a war that could erase them for good.
💥 From deserts soaked in fire to cities collapsing in smoke, every frame burns with the weight of history. The trailer teases bone-shattering combat, explosions that light the sky, and a haunting line — “You can’t kill what’s already dead.”
This isn’t about saving the world.
It’s about saving what’s left of themselves.
