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 “The Rip”, “Can This Love Be Translated?”, “Cosmic Princess Kaguya!” and “Wonder Man”.
- The Rip – Trailer
If you found millions of dollars on the job, how would you handle the temptation to walk away with it? That’s the million dollar question of “The Rip” starring Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, Sasha Calle, Catalina Sandino Moreno, with Scott Adkins, and Kyle Chandler. With a powerhouse ensemble cast like this, who knows what direction the story will take us as the line between trust and betrayal is put to taste in the pressure cooker of Miami.
Release Date: On Netflix on January 16, 2026
Synopsis: Upon discovering millions in cash in a derelict stash house, trust among a team of Miami cops begins to fray. As outside forces learn about the size of the seizure, everything is called into question — including who they can rely on.
- Can This Love Be Translated? – Teaser
This Korean romcom stars Kim Seon-ho (“When Life Gives You Tangerines”, “Start-Up”) and Go Youn-jung (“Resident Playbook”, “Sweet Home”) as a translator and actress (how meta) traveling the world as part of a dating show.
Release Date: On Netflix on January 16, 2025
Synopsis: An unexpected romance blossoms between multilingual translator Joo Ho-jin and global celebrity Cha Mu-hee. As their worlds intertwine, can they bridge the gap between language and emotion, unlocking each other’s hearts?
- Cosmic Princess Kaguya! – Final Trailer
One part modernized Japanese folklore, another part online culture, sprinkled with Vocaloid music, all to bring audiences “Cosmic Princess Kaguya!”.
Release Date: On Netflix on January 22, 2026
Synopsis: A mysterious moon princess, Kaguya, crash-lands into modern Tokyo, is found by high schooler Iroha, and starts a viral virtual concert career in the digital world of Tsukuyomi before her celestial origins demand her return home.
- Wonder Man – Trailer
In another metatextual work, this time in the Marvel Universe, “Wonder Man” is about an actor in the world of superheroes auditioning for a film that takes on superhero fatigue. Familiar faces such as Trevor Slattery and the Department of Damage Control return to the fold as they support and investigate actor Simon Williams, respectively. And based on what is shown in the trailer, it appears the world of Hollywood in Marvel differs from the world of “The Boys” as supes/those with powers do not get to embrace stardom on camera as Homelander and The Seven do.
Release Date: Premiering on Disney+ on January 27, 2026 at 6 pm PST
Synopsis: The upcoming eight-episode series follows aspiring Hollywood actor, Simon Williams, who is struggling to get his career off the ground. During a chance meeting with Trevor Slattery, an actor whose biggest roles may be well behind him, Simon learns that legendary director Von Kovak is remaking the superhero film “Wonder Man.” These two actors, at opposite ends of their careers, doggedly pursue life-changing roles in this film, giving audiences a peek behind the curtain of the entertainment industry.
