Trailers

Trailers have become a significant part of anticipation culture. These days, eager fans analyze every frame of any advance look at shows like Game of Thrones or movies like Avengers: Endgame. The Verge can help you find the latest trailers as they're released — not just the biggest and most analysis-worthy sneak peaks, but teasers for promising indie films and streaming shows as well. Follow along for first-look sneak peaks at everything from Netflix's latest releases to the newest Marvel Cinematic Universe film.

Deadpool & Wolverine’s final trailer adds Laura to the mix.

Dafne Keen’s performance as Laura in Logan was arguably the best thing about the film, and the character popping up in Deadpool & Wolverine’s latest trailer is probably a sign she’ll be sticking around in the MCU for a while.

An action game with foresight.

Forestrike comes from the same studio behind the excellent indie title Olija, and it allows players to plan out how they approach battle before ever throwing a punch. Unfortunately you’ll have to wait some time to play it — the game launches in 2025.

Facehuggers have never looked so terrifying.

The final trailer for Alien: Romulus is here, and it viscerally shows just how harrowing facehuggers really are as a concept. The new trailer urges you to check it out in IMAX by teasing some grisly close-ups that will be sure to really pop on a 50-foot high screen.

The Fede Alvarez-directed film opens August 16th.

EA Sports FC 25 has tactics on the brain.

Fresh off the Euros and Copa America, EA just properly unveiled its next soccer game, which launches on September 27th. Highlights include: women’s teams in career mode (finally!), an arcade-style 5v5 experience called Rush, and an AI-powered model called “FC IQ,” which introduces a complex layer of tactics to the game.


C
Wanda Wilson? I haven’t heard that name in years...

Though there isn’t all that much new to see in Deadpool & Wolverine’s latest trailer, it features our best look yet at the film’s live-action takes on what seems to be the Deadpool Kid (a cowboy variant) and Lady Deadpool (a woman named Wanda with a sick-ass ponytail.)

The first TMNT: Mutant Mayhem game looks the part.

Based on the game’s first trailer, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed developer AHeartfulofGames seems to have nailed the Mutant Mayhem visual style.

Disappointingly, Mutants Unleashed only supports two players. It’s out for PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PCs on October 18th.


A
He’s a starboy.

You probably never heard of the Legend of Starfy series, but it’s not your fault — for some reason Nintendo never released the adorable aquatic platforming games outside of Japan. But now you can rectify that, as the first three GBA titles in the series are available for Switch Online subscribers.


A
Yawn.

I’ve been (lazily) waiting for Exhausted Man for some time, and now comes word that the game, where you can only move while lying down, will be launching on July 25th. Time to unleash my inner Gudetama.


A
Neon White goes green.

The demon hunting, speedrunning visual novel launches on Xbox today, after previously hitting Switch, Steam, and PlayStation (it’ll also be available to Game Pass subscribers). I promise that it is just as weird as that description makes it seem — but in a very good way.


C
The Umbrella Academy’s going out with one last apocalyptic bang.

There was some hope that The Umbrella Academy might switch up its formula and give the Hargreeves siblings a new kind of adventure for the show’s fourth and final season (out August 8th.)

But Netflix’s new trailer kinda makes it seem like they’ll be doing what they always do — averting an apocalypse of their own making.


C
Futurama season 12 crash lands on Hulu this month.

Thanks to Hulu’s Futurama renewal last year, we’ll be seeing more of Fry, Leela, and Bender until at least 2026. And for the show’s upcoming 12th season (due out July 29th), we’ll apparently see the Planet Express crew meet “A.I. friends (and enemies” as well as learn the “true 5 million-year-old story behind the consciousness-altering substance known as coffee.”


A
Take me down to Tetris city.

Upcoming indie title Drop Duchy combines two of my favorite things — tetrominoes and city-building — into one fascinating-looking game. It’s launching on PC this fall, but a playable demo is planned for Steam users “in the coming weeks.”


C
Apple’s Formula 1 movie races into theaters next June.

By all reports, Apple and Warner Bros.’ F1 wasn’t cheap to produce, but you can definitely see director Joseph Kosinski putting that budget to work in the film’s new teaser trailer. The movie’s out internationally on June 25th, 2025, June 27th in the US, and will hit Apple TV Plus some time afterwards.


C
A new Magic Knight Rayearth series is in the works.

It’s been three decades since CLAMP blessed with world with their Magic Knight Rayearth magical girl manga, and in celebration of the franchise’s 30th anniversary, TMS Entertainment has announced that it’s working on a new anime adaptation that will once again see Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu Hououji become the guardians of the planet Cephiro.


C
Kite Man is becoming a small business owner this July.

Kite Man — a man whose power is having a kite — isn’t really the kind of DC character you’d expect to see starring in their own animated series. But you can kind of see the appeal to Kite Man: Hell Yeah! (out July 18th) when you hear Stephanie Hsu as an explosive ice skiter and Keith David as a drunken Darkseid.


C
Look how they massacred my Hellboy.

Director Brian Taylor’s Hellboy: The Crooked Man could wind up being a surprise delight, but the movie’s first trailer does...not exactly inspire all that much confidence.


C
Donald Glover is going to save the new world or die trying.

Donald Glover has been Earnest, and Lando, a very suave John Smith, but Bando Stone & The New World — his latest directing gig — will transform him into an aging singer desperately trying to survive an apocalyptic world that makes little sense. There’s no word yet on when the film debuts.


C
The spirit of Pimp My Ride lives on in Netflix’s Resurrected Rides.

Much like MTV News and its archives, Pimp My Ride is no longer with us, but Netflix’s new car restoration show Resurrection Rides looks like it’ll be the next best thing when it premieres on July 24th.


C
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire hits Max on July 4th.

In terms of blockbuster sci-fi cinema, July 4th will always belong to the original Independence Day, but this year the holiday will also see Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire finally become available to stream on Max.


C
Amazon’s new animated Batman series looks like a jazzy night on the town.

Amazon’s new Batman: Caped Crusader series from executive producers J. J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, and Bruce Timm sounds very much like yet another Batman origin story. But the show’s 1940’s, Golden Era of comics vibe makes it seem like it’ll make for a kitschy watch when it debuts on August 1st.


A
Dead Rising rises from dead (again).

Dead Rising is getting the rerelease treatment for the second time. Capcom has a short trailer for Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, a re-remaster of the 2006 zombie killing spree game for modern platforms.

But will you be able to turn off the stressful game timer in this iteration? (I doubt it.)


C
Do you have a moment to talk about A24’s missionary horror?

Hugh Grant was fantastic in HBO’s The Regime as the imprisoned former lover of a deranged dictator who locked him away in a dungeon beneath her castle. And it looks like he’s also going to turn it out in in Heretic, Scott Beck and Bryan Woods new horror about a man with a penchant for imprisoning (and torturing) Mormon missionaries. Movie’s out November 15th.


A
Live-action turtle pope.

It’s Shadow of the Erdtree day, and Bandai Namco has released a new live-action trailer for the Elden Ring expansion. Crucially, the short video shows what Miriel, Pastor of Vows would look like IRL. He, too, apologizes for the unseemly state of affairs.


C
A24’s The Front Room is taking Brandy back to her horror film roots this fall.

Brandy’s role in I Know What You Did Last Summer made her an iconic part of the horror film canon. And judging from the first trailer for A24’s The Front Room from co-directors Sam and Max Eggers, Ms. Norwood is ready to remind theatergoers exactly how she became a scream queen. Movie’s out September 6th.


A
Eureka!

Finally, at long last, Ace Attorney sickos (including yours truly) will finally get what we’ve been asking for — a rerelease of Ace Attorney Investigations. It’s a spinoff series of the popular Ace Attorney games featuring Miles Edgeworth instead of Phoenix Wright as the protagonist. Crucially with this release, we’re finally getting a Western release of Ace Attorney Investigations 2. I cannot wait till September 6th to play on Switch, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox!

A new Mario Party game is here to ruin your family relationships.

Nintendo’s newest Mario Party game is here. Super Mario Party Jamboree features over 110 new minigames, 20-player online multiplayer, new locations, and new features that will undoubtedly infuriate your friends and family. And best yet, it launches October 17th, just in time for the family holiday get-togethers!
