From the trailer of Danny Boyle’s next film to the release date announcement for Marvel’s upcoming movie, and Shah Rukh Khan’s promo video for Disney’s new animated movie, here are the latest updates from Hollywood.
28 Years Later trailer
The first full trailer for 28 Years Later, the sequel to the iconic 2002 film 28 Days Later, was dropped by the makers on Tuesday. This long-awaited sequel reunites screenwriter Alex Garland and director Danny Boyle, promising a chilling continuation of the ‘rage virus’ saga. Slated for a June 2025 release, the film explores a post-apocalyptic world where survival is not only about avoiding the infected but also confronting the horror that humanity has become.
Set nearly three decades after the original events, 28 Years Later introduces a fresh chapter in the saga, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes starring in key roles. The film’s premise revolves around a society trying to recover from the devastation caused by the virus, with survivors now living on a heavily isolated island connected to the mainland by a fortified causeway. When one survivor embarks on a dangerous mission to the mainland, he uncovers a terrifying reality — not just a mutated world of infected creatures but also a new breed of survivors.
Kraven The Hunter gets a new India release date
Sony Pictures Entertainment India has revealed the new release date for Kraven The Hunter — it will now hit Indian cinemas on January 1, 2025, instead of the previously scheduled December 13.

The film delves into Kraven’s troubled past, including his tumultuous relationship with his mobster father (Russell Crowe), and his eventual transformation into a relentless hunter. The film will be released in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

The Brutalist explores his rise through the ranks, fuelled by the patronage of aristocrat Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce). The Brutalist premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where Corbet won the Silver Lion for Best Director.
