At CinemaCon 2025, Amazon MGM highlights its upcoming theatrical slate, demonstrating its commitment to releasing more movies in theaters than ever before. They claim to have 14 titles lined up for the year 2026.
Updating live from CinemaCon 2025, here are the Amazon MGM presentation highlights.
Project Hail Mary
The Amazon MGM panel opens with an extended look at Ryan Gosling’s Project Hail Mary. This film is based on a book by the same name. The footage shows Gosling’s character, who is a teacher that believes the sun is dying, being recruited by the government to help save Earth.
He trains to be an astronaut and is sent to space, with the knowledge that this is likely a suicide mission. Along the way, he meets an alien named Rocky.
Verity
Next up for Amazon MGM is Verity. This movie is coming to theaters next year and they gave attendees a look at a teaser. Talk about a twisted, dark, and clearly crazy movie. A psychological thriller based on a book means that some people will know the story, but I didn’t know anything about it going in. After seeing this teaser, I don’t think I want to see any more. This is one of those movies that will benefit from audiences going in as blind as possible.
After The Hunt
Amazon MGM is now bringing out some of the cast of After The Hunt. Andrew Garfield says he has wanted to work with director Luca Guadagnino for years, and now the time has finally come. Watching the trailer it is clear that After The Hunt is trying to make me hate Andrew Garfield, but I could never. This is certainly one that will have audiences guessing what actually happened all the way through.
Mercy
Mercy follows Chris Pratt as he must prove his innocence in the murder of his wife by scouring the internet and cameras around the city to find proof. He is given ninety minutes to do so and I imagine it plays out in real-ish time. This one is sure to be a heart-pounding thriller.
Three Bags Full
Three Bags Full was just announced by Amazon MGM, and when they explained it is a movie about sheep solving a murder that stars Hugh Jackman, I fully thought it was a joke at first. especially because it is not animated and is a live-action movie.
They show us a clip, and it is exactly that – sheep who try to solve the murder of their shepherd who dies under strange circumstances. The cast is stacked though! Besides Hugh Jackman, there’s Bella Ramsey, Patrick Stewart and many others. I truly don’t know how to feel about it yet.
Crime 101
Crime 101 promises to capture Los Angeles on screen in a way we have never seen before. Chris Hemsworth says it will keep viewers guessing until the very end. Barry Keoghan plays a dirt bike-riding maniac in a role that was written for him.
After checking out some footage, I have to admit that this shot to the top of my most anticipated list. It loks like a lot of fun.
Is God Is
Is God Is took me by complete surprise. Based on a play, it is a modern myth about twin sisters who journey from the Dirty South to the California desert to exact righteous revenge. Starring Vivica A. Fox and Sterling K. Brown, it is clear it is going to be fantastic.
Masters of The Universe
We got a sneak peek at Masters of the Universe which is a lot of behind-the-scenes footage and a look at costumes. Fans are going to be freaking out when they see what all these characters look like. Jared Leto as Skeletor looks PERFECT.
No Bond Announcement
Everyone was hoping for an announcement as to who the next Bond is, but Amazon MGM did not give us anything. They did reveal that they are committed to Bond, and hopefully, we will get details soon. Perhaps at San Diego Comic-Con?
