Get ready — the toys from Toy Story are about to face their biggest challenge yet!

1. Masters of The Universe

Nostalgia is set to sweep through cinemas as a beloved childhood franchise finally receives a live-action cinematic revival.

Directed by Travis Knight, this high-stakes fantasy epic transports audiences back to a world of sword and sorcery on an epic scale. The story follows Prince Adam, a long-lost royal who returns to his homeland after 15 years away, only to find his magical heirloom missing.

Upon his return, Adam discovers a grim reality: his once-thriving home of Eternia has fallen under the rule of his greatest enemy, the fearsome warlock Skeletor.

Determined to reclaim his kingdom and free its people, the young prince joins forces with his most trusted allies, including the courageous Captain Teela and the seasoned General Duncan. Together, they must build a resistance strong enough to challenge Skeletor’s reign and restore hope to Eternia.

The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, with Nicholas Galitzine taking on the iconic role of the universe’s greatest champion, while Idris Elba brings a commanding presence to the battlefield.

Backed by a substantial production budget and cutting-edge visual effects, the live-action adaptation brings the fantastical landscapes of Eternia to life like never before. For longtime fans and newcomers alike, this highly anticipated blockbuster promises an epic showdown between good and evil on the big screen.

2. Scary Movie

Cinema audiences are about to witness the ultimate nostalgic reunion as the creators behind one of the most iconic parody franchises return to the big screen. More than two decades after the original films became pop-culture sensations, the beloved gang is back to tackle a familiar — and hilariously incompetent — threat.

Fan-favourite characters Cindy Campbell and Brenda Meeks reunite for another round of chaos, this time navigating an entirely new generation of horror clichés. Joining them are siblings Shorty and Ray Wilkins, whose questionable survival skills and comedic antics remain as entertaining as ever.

The stakes are higher than before when the same masked slasher who terrorised them 26 years ago mysteriously re-emerges from the shadows. As old fears resurface, the group must once again rely on their unconventional instincts to stay one step ahead.

True to the franchise’s roots, the film swaps psychological tension for relentless comedy, delivering sharp satire and laugh-out-loud moments throughout. This highly anticipated sequel takes aim at today’s biggest horror and blockbuster trends, with no viral hit or modern cinematic phenomenon safe from its comedic crosshairs.

Packed with nostalgia, outrageous humour and plenty of self-aware references, the latest instalment promises to be a welcome return for longtime fans while introducing a new generation to the franchise’s signature brand of parody.

Cast: Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott

3. Disclosure Day

What would happen if humanity suddenly discovered, beyond any doubt, that we are not alone in the universe?

That thought-provoking question lies at the heart of this upcoming sci-fi thriller, which explores the profound consequences of a world-shattering revelation. Rather than focusing on a traditional alien invasion, the film examines the psychological and societal impact of confirming extraterrestrial life, and how billions of people might react when one of humanity’s greatest mysteries is finally answered.

As the truth unfolds, the story delves into the fine line between wonder and fear, hope and chaos. The film challenges audiences to consider how such a revelation could reshape their understanding of themselves, their beliefs, and their place in the cosmos.

Combining suspense, big ideas, and emotional depth, this highly anticipated release promises a tense, thought-provoking cinematic experience. With a narrative designed to spark conversation long after the credits roll, it is set to be a must-watch for science fiction fans and anyone fascinated by the possibilities that lie beyond our world.

4. Toy Story 5

The beloved playroom heroes are officially gearing up for another massive big-screen adventure — but their latest mission is unlike anything they’ve faced before.

This time, Buzz Lightyear, Sheriff Woody, and Jessie are not escaping a ruthless daycare or searching for a lost porcelain figurine. Instead, they find themselves confronting a modern-day existential crisis that reflects the experiences of households around the world: the irresistible pull of smart devices.

The ultimate battle for their child Bonnie’s attention begins when a sleek, highly persuasive electronic tablet named Lilypad enters the toy box. Armed with new ideas about how playtime “should” look, this high-tech newcomer threatens to leave the classic plastic and plush companions forgotten and gathering dust.

Guided by Academy Award-winning director Andrew Stanton, known for WALL·E and Finding Nemo, the film blends nostalgia with contemporary humour and heart.

As the story unfolds, audiences can expect a thoughtful yet playful exploration of how technology is reshaping childhood imagination. To navigate this digital storm, the seasoned playroom veterans must work together like never before.

Bringing back familiar favourites alongside exciting new characters, this emotionally charged chapter promises a heartfelt adventure that resonates with longtime fans while introducing a new generation to the magic of the playroom.

Cast: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Greta Lee, Conan O’Brien, Tony Hale

Release Date: 18 June 2026

5. Supergirl

The DC Universe is about to be jolted with a surge of punk-rock energy as a bold, gritty new iteration of Kara Zor-El takes center stage this June.

Stepping away from the traditionally pristine portrayal of the heroine, this cinematic adaptation presents a hardened, cynical Supergirl, shaped by deep emotional scars left by the destruction of her home planet.

When a brutal new enemy shatters the fragile peace she has built, Kara is thrust into a galactic conflict that forces her to step out of her cousin Superman’s towering shadow once and for all.

Directed by Craig Gillespie, this highly anticipated blockbuster unfolds as an intense outer-space road movie, abandoning Earth entirely in favour of a Western-inspired planet crawl across the cosmos.

To track down her target, the Maiden of Might forms a tense and reluctant alliance with an unexpected young alien mercenary, who is also driven by a personal quest for vengeance.

Together, the mismatched pair embark on a sweeping, action-packed journey across the stars, delivering a raw and visceral tale of revenge, survival, and intergalactic justice.

Release Date: 25 June 2026

6. A Simple Space by Gravity & Other Myths

The vibrant energy of contemporary physical theatre is taking over the city as Australia’s acclaimed acrobatics ensemble, Gravity & Other Myths, brings its groundbreaking production to local shores.

Stripping away the grand spectacle often associated with traditional big-top performances, this show abandons elaborate staging, heavy makeup, and glittering costumes in favour of something far more raw and immediate.

Audiences will find themselves just inches away from seven elite acrobats as they push the limits of human physicality, driven by a relentless live drumbeat. This is an intentionally intimate, visceral experience where every drop of sweat, strain of muscle, and spark of playful competition is laid bare — transforming the human body into living architecture, from balancing towers to kinetic, rope-like formations.

Since its debut over a decade ago at a major festival, this high-octane 60-minute production has evolved into an international phenomenon, touring extensively across continents and captivating global audiences.

The local run offers theatre-goers a rare opportunity to witness world-class physical artistry up close. Select evening and matinee sessions over the weekend will also include post-show artist dialogues, offering insight into the trust, training, and vulnerability behind the performance.

Whether you are a dedicated performing arts enthusiast or simply seeking an unfiltered rush of adrenaline, this 60-minute sensory experience delivers spectacle in its purest form.
