It’s not good news for the Street Fighter movie either, as that also loses its 2026 release window. Jack Black teases the horror foundations of the new Anaconda. Plus, Harley Quinn showrunner Dean Lorey talks hopes for a season six. To me, my spoilers!
The Mummy
Deadline reports Jack Reynor (Midsommar) has joined the cast of Lee Cronin’s The Mummy at Warner Bros. and Blumhouse in a currently undisclosed role–although one that is apparently not the titular mummy.
Saw XI
Saw XI has been officially removed from Lionsgate’s release schedule entirely, with The Strangers: Chapter 2 filling its intended September 26 date. However, Lionsgate has released the following message to THR from Jigsaw’s personal spokesman, Billy the Puppet:
I’ve seen the rumors. They say it’s Game Over. You all should know me better than that. The game is never over.
Street Fighter
Likewise, Sony has also removed Street Fighter from its 2026 release schedule just one month after finding its new director, Kitao Sakurai. [THR]
Anaconda
During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Jack Black promised the new Anaconda movie is “a horror film for real” with “a lot of the original [film’s] vibes in terms of the scary parts.”
It’s a lot funnier than the original, but it does have a lot of the original vibes in terms of the scary parts. It’s a horror film for real, but it’s also got some clownin’ for sure.
Death of a Unicorn
Bloody-Disgusting has a new poster for Death of a Unicorn, hand-painted by artist Tony Stella.
Sinners
Bloody-Disgusting also has a new poster for Ryan Coogler’s vampire movie, Sinners.
Final Destination: Bloodlines
A brief teaser for Final Destination: Bloodlines tees up another doomed character’s elaborate demise ahead of the full trailer later today.
Clown in a Cornfield
Elsewhere, a defunct corn syrup company’s former mascot wreaks havoc on a depressed factory town in the trailer for Clown in a Cornfield, Eli Craig’s film adaptation of Adam Cesare’s popular YA slasher novel.
Harley Quinn
Speaking with Collider, Harley Quinn showrunner Dean Lorey stated he has “a pretty wonderful idea” for a potential sixth season of Harley Quinn.
We were only thinking about [the season five finale] mostly in the sense of not wanting it to feel too much like the end of the series, because we would like to do more. We realized that if the show were to end there, it was a nice ending for the show, but we have every intention of doing more, and we’ve done a lot of work figuring out what that will be. So, I hope we’ll have some exciting news soon.
Well, I hope we stop one season before the wheels fall off. There’s no overall plan. There really never has been, other than a very basic desire to keep Harley and Ivy together through thick and thin, but to allow them to grow and all that. But we do have a pretty wonderful idea for what Season 6 would be if we get so lucky. We’re excited to continue.
The Bondsman
Bloody-Disgusting also has a new poster for The Bondsman, the upcoming series starring Kevin Bacon as an undead bounty hunter.
Alien: Earth
The new Alien: Earth footage described a few days ago has now made its way online.
Common Side Effects
Finally, the FBI raid Marshall’s compound in the trailer for next week’s season finale of Common Side Effects.
