- Butterfly – First Look Images
The live adaptation of the graphic novel Butterfly by Arash Amel, Marguerite Bennett, Antonio Fuso is coming out in 2 months, and Prime Video has shared 10 first look images. It’s fair to say that Daniel Dae Kim and Reina Hardesty will play father and daughter in this story, but whereas the comics leaned more on the daughter’s perspective as the lead protagonist, the images seem to put Daniel Day Kim’s character as the lead for this series.
Release Date: On Prime Video on August 13, 2025
Synopsis: Butterfly is a character-driven spy thriller that explores complex family dynamics within the treacherous world of global espionage. It’s centered on David Jung, an enigmatic, highly unpredictable former US intelligence operative living in South Korea, whose life is blown to pieces when the consequences of an impossible decision from his past come back to haunt him, and he finds himself pursued by Rebecca, a deadly, sociopathic young agent assigned to kill him, and Caddis, the sinister spy organization she works for.
- A Big Bold Beautiful Journey – Trailer
Harley Quinn and the Penguin? Yes. The fantastical elements of A Big Bold Beautiful Journey aren’t just plot devices to help audiences and the characters to understand and learn about each other, but also brings to mind themes about how to connect and how to make sense of our complicated lives in retrospect and hopefully come out with insights that can help us make the right choices when it comes to love and happiness. Or at least that’s what I got from the trailer.
Release Date: In theaters on September 19, 2025
Synopsis: What if you could open a doorway and walk through it to re-live a defining moment from your past? Sarah (Margot Robbie) and David (Colin Farrell) are single strangers who meet at a mutual friend’s wedding and soon, through a surprising twist of fate, find themselves on A Big Bold Beautiful Journey – a funny, fantastical, sweeping adventure together where they get to re-live important moments from their respective pasts, illuminating how they got to where they are in the present…and possibly getting a chance to alter their futures.
- Marvel Television’s Ironheart – Trailer
Marvel has introduced audiences to the cutting edge technology of this universe through the Iron Man films as well as the Black Panther films, as well as magic through series such as WandaVision and Agatha All Along. But it looks like Riri Williams will be at the intersection of both in the six-episode series Ironheart.
Release Date: On Disney+ on June 24
Synopsis: Set after the events of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”, Marvel Television’s “Ironheart” pits technology against magic when Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) – a young, genius inventor determined to make her mark on the world – returns to her hometown of Chicago. Her unique take on building iron suits is brilliant, but in pursuit of her ambitions, she finds herself wrapped up with the mysterious yet charming Parker Robbins aka “The Hood” (Anthony Ramos).
