Pop culture is a never-ending world of updates, teases, trailers, and hopefully releases. What’s New Wednesday is Dorkaholics’ way to keep us all up to date with what’s new across comics, TV, film, games, and more! This week, the focus is on How to Rob a Bank, By Any Means, Onslaught, and Mayday.
- How to Rob a Bank – Trailer
Directed by David Leitch (Bullet Train, The Fall Guy), How to Rob a Bank is an action-packed heist film featuring bank robbers driven by a point to combat the immorality of banks more than just their own greed, essentially modern-day Robin Hoods with a social media following to match. The leader of the robbers is Ryan played by Nicholas Hoult (Superman, Juror #2, The Menu) who comes to odds with Agent West played by John C. Reilly (Step Brothers). Zoë Kravitz plays a hacker under house arrest who empathizes with the robbers but is tasked with helping the FBI with the search in return for dropped charges. The robbers include portrayals by Anna Sawai (Shōgun, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters), Rhenzy Feliz (The Penguin), and Pete Davidson (The Suicide Squad). Needless to say, this is a stacked ensemble cast.
Release Date: In theaters on September 4, 2026
Synopsis: A crew of social media-savvy bank robbers broadcasts their daring heists, unaware that their growing viral fame has put them in the crosshairs of a veteran FBI agent and a brilliant software engineer. Despite the unlikely duo closing in, the crime ring pushes past their limits, putting everything on the line for their beliefs – and their most ambitious heist yet.
- By Any Means – Trailer
Part true FBI case and part historical thriller highlighting the racism of the 1960s, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Wonder Man) plays Agent Strider who is investigating targeted killings of civil rights leaders and must work with Greg Scarpa, a hitman for the mob, played by Mark Wahlberg (Uncharted). And despite the obvious tension from being on different sides of the law, it turns out Scarpa is willing to shoot cops and kill people but he’s no racist or is at least willing to put aside differences when trying to solve a case By Any Means.
Release Date: In theaters on September 4, 2026
Synopsis: Based on a true story, a young Black FBI agent is sent into 1960s Mississippi to investigate a wave of brutal killings targeting civil rights leaders. Forced to work alongside notorious mafia hitman Greg Scarpa (Mark Wahlberg), he finds himself pulled into a deadly hunt where justice and vengeance begin to blur. When the system is broken, two men divided by everything agree on one thing: the law has limits. They don’t.
- Onslaught – Trailer
From Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett, who worked together on You’re Next, The Guest, and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, their latest feature Onslaught blends their experience with home-invasion horror and action-thrillers for a story with a mother forced to fend off a trio of government-made killing machines threatening her and her daughter.
Release Date: In theaters on September 4, 2026

- Mayday – Trailer
Reminiscent of another Apple TV film, Tetris, this film takes us into Mother Russia as we follow an American on a mission as he discovers a new friend who would love to be in the land of the free. Mayday stars Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh.
Release Date: On Apple TV on September 4, 2026
Synopsis: When hot shot U.S. Navy pilot Lieutenant Troy “Assassin” Kelly (Reynolds) is sent on a top-secret mission into Russian territory at the height of the Cold War, the operation implodes, leaving him stranded behind enemy lines. Discovered by Nikolai Ustinov (Branagh), a gruff ex-KGB agent with a penchant for American culture, Troy thinks he’s toast – but could an unlikely alliance between the two lead to Troy’s rescue, and a bond neither saw coming?
