As part of Collider's Exclusive Preview event, we’re thrilled to debut a striking image of Jason Clarke in The Last Frontier, the upcoming Apple TV+ survival thriller from The Blacklist creator Jon Bokenkamp. Streaming October 10, the 10-episode series throws Clarke’s Frank Remnick — a lone U.S. Marshal — into an unforgiving Alaskan wilderness after a prison transport plane crashes, unleashing dozens of dangerous fugitives into the snow-covered barrens.

Clarke, who co-executive produces, says what drew him to Frank was the chance to play “a good man with moral complexity rather than a bad man who is morally challenged.” He explained, “I love moral complexity in a character. This time, I liked the idea of playing a good man with moral complexity rather than a bad man who is morally challenged." Clarke continued, saying, "The promise of adventure sealed the deal. The story was written as a nonstop wild ride,...

Analysis paralysis can hit harder than Denzel Washington fighting the Russian mob.

With every passing day, we are moving one step closer to John Cena‘s retirement from the WWE, which is coming over two decades after he first signed with the company. The retirement means Cena can give his full attention to Hollywood, and it looks like he is already making all the right choices, especially considering his next move.

According to a report by Deadline, Cena and Kevin Hart are all set to star in an action comedy titled ‘The Leading Man’. Writers Jon and Erich Hoeber have pitched the idea to Netflix, which has supposedly impressed the streaming giant.

There is no denying that Cena and comedy go together like peanut butter and jelly. Add Hart to the mix and you’ve got yourself the perfect formula for a big hit. Just ask Dwayne Johnson. Whether it’s ‘Central Intelligence’ or the ‘Jumanji’ films, a collaboration with Hart can be gold if done right.

Kevin Hart and John Cena are joining forces in, you guessed it, an action comedy from streaming giant Netflix. Not only are the movie stars destined to become a fierce combination, they will do so adapting a killer mid-2000s comic book series. In true Hart fashion, the upcoming adaptation is set in the world of Hollywood movie stars, but with a spy twist.

Deadline reports that Hart and Cena are set to star in and produce The Leading Man, a feature-length adaptation of B. Clay Moore and Jeremy Haun's comic book series of the same name. The project is in early development, but writers Jon and Erich Hoeber have officially sold their pitch to Netflix, which has a multi-picture deal with Hart. The upcoming film will follow a major movie actor who finds out his co-star is a real-life special agent. Read the film's splashy logline:

Here’s What Chris Hemsworth Revealed About The Future Of Extraction 3! (Photo Credit – Netflix)

Chris Hemsworth has faced many tough roles, but right now, the biggest challenge on his mind is the future of the Extraction series. The action-packed Netflix franchise has earned solid praise, with two films out and an 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Still, progress on Extraction 3 has slowed down, and Hemsworth admits he is feeling the wait.

Chris Hemsworth Talks About Extraction 3 & Its Future

The team behind the films is brainstorming new ideas for the third installment, exploring different directions for Tyler Rake’s story. Hemsworth says the plan is definitely to make another movie, though no exact date is set yet.

“[Tyler Rake is] getting restless. We, the creative team, are putting together some different ideas and creative ventures of where we could take the whole place and the [third] film. But the intention is to certainly make another one.

It’s been over two years since Netflix announced Extraction 3 was officially happening, and it sounds like we could have to wait quite a while before the third film actually comes together.

During the 2023 Tudum event, Extraction star Chris Hemsworth and director Sam Hargrave revealed to fans that a third film in the franchise was officially in development. The news immediately created excitement among fans and the assumption was that a plan was already in place for where the franchise would go next.

One year later at 2024’s San Diego Comic-Con, Hemsworth told Screen Rant that the creative team was in the “middle of putting it together” and that they were working to “crack the story.” Well, fast forward to August 2025, and it seems work on the film has stalled with little progress made in the last year.

“He’s getting restless. He is. My inner Tyler Rake is...

Chris Hemsworth offers an update on the planned Extraction 3. The upcoming movie was confirmed by Netflix after the success of the first two installments, which star Hemsworth as Tyler Rake, a former Australian Sasr operator turned black ops mercenary. The Russo brothers are expected to return as producers, while Sam Hargrave will again helm the project.

Despite being confirmed, the movie doesn't have a release date yet. Now, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Hemsworth offered an update on where they are with Extraction 3. The Thor: Ragnarok star revealed that they are "putting together some different ideas" for the third movie, which they "certainly" have the intention to make. However, Hemsworth admitted that he doesn't have a timeline. Read what he said below:

[Tyler Rake is] getting restless. We, the creative team, are putting together some different ideas and creative ventures of where we could take the whole place and the [third] film.

Netflix's biggest action movie franchise is set to make a big comeback, according to its leading star, Chris Hemsworth. Action movies are great, but action movies made by stunt performers are on a whole other level. That's what Netflix brought to the proverbial table in 2020 with Extraction. Starring Hemsworth as mercenary Tyler Rake, the film was ball-to-the-wall action, including a gigantic one-take sequence, and plenty of John Wick-inspired action. A sequel, aptly titled Extraction 2, was released in 2023 and brought more of the same kick-ass action, and fans have been desperate for Hemsworth to return for a third installment (presumably titled Extraction 3) in the franchise. Thankfully, we might not be waiting too long.

During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter to promote the new season of his docuseries, Limitless: Live Better Now, Chris Hemsworth addressed the future of the Extraction franchise and where Tyler Rake could go next.

Chris Hemsworth has fought Norse gods, climbed canyon cables, and played live drums for Ed Sheeran — but there’s one challenge currently keeping him up at night: the future of Extraction. The Netflix franchise, which helped redefine the action genre on streaming, currently holds a solid 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and is two films deep. But despite the success of both entries, Hemsworth admits progress on Extraction 3has slowed — and he’s feeling it, as he explained in a new interview.

“[Tyler Rake is] getting restless. We, the creative team, are putting together some different ideas and creative ventures of where we could take the whole place and the [third] film. But the intention is to certainly make another one. I don’t know exactly when, but yeah, it’ll be coming.”

Hemsworth’s restlessness isn’t surprising. The Extraction films have become a rare modern franchise that’s both action-packed and surprisingly introspective,...

Get ready for a 3rd Extraction film because it is officially in the works! In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, when asked about what the future holds for the Extraction franchise, Hemsworth shared:

[Tyler Rake’s] getting restless. He is. My inner Tyler Rake is feeling a certain amount of protest and needs to be released, for sure. That’s something we are working on, yeah. We, the creative team, are putting together some different ideas and creative ventures of where we could take the whole place and the [third] film. But the intention is to certainly make another one. I don’t know exactly when, but yeah, it’ll be coming.

The Extraction franchise stands as a pretty solid entry in the best Chris Hemsworth movies. The release of the second film in 2023 has left fans clamoring for a 3rd part for nearly 2 years. And those prayers have finally been answered in...

Netflix's action thriller Extraction movies have been a huge success for the streamer, so it’s no wonder the platform wants more from the Chris Hemsworth-led franchise. And more is what they’re going to get, with a sequel and a spin-off series now in the works. The latest update regards the latter, with the serial spin-off, titled Mercenary, now on the way.

According to What’s on Netflix, several details about Mercenary have now been revealed. Currently, the only confirmed cast member is Lupinand The Killer star Omar Sy, who will lead the series. It has now been revealed that his character will be named Diallo, and he will be a new creation not previously seen before in either Extraction or Extraction 2. His supporting cast of characters, which includes an assortment of soldiers, militants, assassins, and executives, has also now been unveiled, and you can check out...

MCU star Chris Hemsworth will continue to cement himself as one of Hollywood’s favorite action heroes with the upcoming Amazon action thriller, Subversion. And we now know who will join him on this Die Hard-esque adventure into the depths.

Set to be directed by Patrick Vollrath for Amazon MGM, and written by Andrew Ferguson, Subversion has been described as “Die Hard on a submarine,” with The Hollywood Reporter revealing that the thriller “follows a once-promising naval commander (Hemsworth) who is blackmailed by a cartel-like organization into piloting a dangerous submarine carrying illegal cargo across international waters.

“Thrust into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse with a Coast Guard officer (James) in hot pursuit, the commander must outmaneuver blockades and navigate perilous threats both inside and outside the submarine.”

And the action outing has now taken things up a gear with the addition of Baby Driver star Lily James,...

How do you follow a phenomenon like “Barbie?” That was the task put in front of Robbie Brenner, President of Mattel Studios and Chief Content Officer in the wake of the $1.4 billion-grossing, Oscar-winning feminist blockbuster that served as the opening salvo for the Mattel Studios brand.

Brenner joined the company in 2018, and at first it seemed like a surprising fit. Brenner had cut her teeth working for Miramax in the 1990s, later serving executive roles at 20th Century Fox and Relativity and producing indies like “Dallas Buyers Club.” Perhaps it’s exactly that foundation that spurred Brenner to enthusiastically hire Greta Gerwig to co-write and direct “Barbie” – and, crucially, to give Gerwig the freedom to make something truly unique.

“For me, I feel like if we’re not trying to raise the bar on every single movie that we’re doing, if we’re not doing something that feels unexpected...

Apple TV+ has revealed a first look announcement teaser finalizng the release of the series titled The Last Frontier. It's set to arrive for streaming on Apple TV+ starting on October 10th this fall.

The Last Frontier is set in the remote wilderness of Alaska, providing the perfect gritty Justified replacement, and will debut with the first two episodes, followed by new episodes every Friday until its Dec. 5 season finale.

The Last Frontier, an upcoming thriller from the creator of The Blacklist, just got an absolutely wild trailer that reveals when the series is headed to Apple TV+. The show, first announced in 2023, boasts a star-studded cast and some premium behind-the-scenes talent, including hit action director Sam Hargrave (Extraction).

Apple TV+ has unveiled the official teaser for The Last Frontier, which reveals the series is set to stream on October 10, 2025. After its two-episode premiere, it is set to premiere new episodes every week until December 5. The series, which stars Jason Clarke (Oppenheimer), follows a U.S. Marshal in Alaska who is tasked with protecting his town after a plane crashes, freeing dozens of violent inmates. As the footage suggests, viewers will get to know a wide range of criminals who crash-land in the snowy wilderness. You can check out the teaser below.

In addition to Clarke, the cast of The Last Frontier...

Jason Clarke lit the world on fire in 2023 thanks to his gripping performance in Oppenheimer, but things have been relatively quiet for the star since then, until now. Clarke stars in the first images for The Last Frontier, his new Apple TV+ series that will begin streaming on October 10. Apple has also released the first short teaser for the 10-episode series, which also stars Dominic Cooper (The Gold), Haley Bennett (The Magnificent Seven), Simone Kessell (Yellowjackets), Dallas Goldtooth (Reservation Dogs), and Tait Blum (For All Mankind). The show was written and created for television by Jon Bokenkamp and Richard D’Ovidio, who will also executive produce alongside Clarke. Clarke also wrote episodes of the show, which will be directed by Sam Hargrave, who has worked with Chris Hemsworth on both Extraction movies.

Tasked with protecting the town he’s vowed to keep safe, he begins to suspect the crash wasn’t an accident, but the first step of a well-crafted plan with far-reaching and devastating implications.

John Cena will next be seen reprising his role as Christopher Smith in Peacemaker Season 2, but shortly after he first played the DC hero, he starred in an action thriller that just got an exciting streaming update. Cena stars alongside Alison Brie in Freelance, the 2023 action comedy following an ex-special forces operative who takes a security job for a journalist to interview a dictator, but things go sideways fast when a coup breaks out. Freelance is currently streaming on Hulu, but Netflix has confirmed that it will begin streaming on the platform on August 2. Critics were particularly harsh on Freelance, rating it 11% on Rotten Tomatoes, but fans gave the film a 78% on the audience-driven Popcornmeter. However, it grossed only $10 million against a $40 million budget, making it a major flop.

Jacob Lentz wrote the script for Freelance, and Pierre Morel directed the film. Lentz is best known for his work as...

Yesterday, the exciting news broke that Valhalla Entertainment had preemptively acquired Oni Press' upcoming comic book series Yuletide for development as a feature film ahead of the first issue being released in October. Described as a family adventure with a "horrifying holiday twist," Oni Press will be revealing more next week at Sdcc, but ahead of the convention, we're excited to give Daily Dead readers a look at the variant covers from Rachele Aragno and Jo Mi-Gyeong!

From the Press Release: "In advance of Comic-Con International 2025 in San Diego, CA, groundbreaking comic book publisher Oni Press and award-winning production company Valhalla Entertainment today announced that Valhalla has preemptively acquired Oni's upcoming series Yuletide – created by writer George Northy (EC's Shiver SuspenStories) and artist Rachele Aragno (Mike Mignola's Leonide the Vampire) – for development as a feature film in advance of the comic book series' debut in October 2025.

Exclusive: In advance of Comic-Con 2025, Gale Anne Hurd’s Valhalla Entertainment (The Walking Dead) has acquired Yuletide, an upcoming Christmas-themed comic book from Oni Press (Scott Pilgrim vs. The World), for feature development.

Created by writer George Northy (EC’s Shiver SuspenStories) and artist Rachele Aragno (Mike Mignola’s Leonide the Vampire), with its first issue set to hit stands in October, the comic is described as a fast-paced family adventure in the tradition of The Goonies, Goosebumps, and Hocus Pocus with a horrifying holiday twist. In the story, ancient Norse creatures let loose upon an idyllic Northeastern town at the height of the gift-giving season — and the only three teenagers capable of holding them at bay with an ancient secret tied to the origins of the holiday itself.

Welcome to the small town of Christmas, Pennsylvania – the merriest place on Earth… or so they’d like everyone to think.

Most people love a franchise and, apparently, so does streaming giant Netflix, which announced in February 2025 it had greenlit an eight-episode television series off-shoot based on the smash-hit action sensation Extraction. The action movie series is one of the few original movie franchises on Netflix's roster, and it is led by none other than Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth. The upcoming spin-off series will be headlined by Omar Sy, as revealed earlier in the year. According to What's On Netflix, production on the first season is scheduled to begin in December 2025 and will run through to early to mid-2026. As for filming locations, the report reveals that at least a part of it would be filmed in North Africa, Morocco to be precise. The Hemsworth-led films are also famed for globe-trotting with filming locations in India, Thailand, Australia, and the Czech Republic. Initial reports had suggested that filming would begin in...

Actor and filmmaker Michael B. Jordan is taking a crack at The Thomas Crown Affair. A new remake of the 1968 film is in the works, coming 26 years after the previous reimagining was released in 1999.

Per THR, Danai Gurira has joined the cast of Jordan's new take on The Thomas Crown Affair. This marks an MCU reunion, as Jordan previously appeared with Gurira in the Black Panther movies. Gurira's addition to the cast also follows the casting of Oscar winner Kenneth Branagh and Oscar nominee Lily Gladstone. Taylor Russell also stars.

Jordan will be in the starring role as a billionaire who has an affinity for art thievery. Russell's role will be as a private detective, and Gurira is reportedly set to play Jordan's confidante. Details haven't been revealed about the characters played by Branagh and Gladstone. Drew Pearce wrote the latest draft of the script after a previous version by Wes Tooke and Justin Britt-Gibson.

The success of Barbie in 2023 sent a ripple throughout Hollywood that resulted in some interesting choices regarding future projects based on established IPs. Although the Matchbox movie was announced in 2022 before Barbie’s release, the film’s success likely put Matchbox on the fast track after seeing the potential for box office returns. Matchbox recruited WWE legend John Cena to star in the lead role, with Sam Hargrave hopping into the director’s chair. Hargrave is a veteran stunt coordinator who also directed both of Chris Hemsworth’s Extraction movies. Collider’s Steve Weintraub recently sat down for an interview with John Cena to talk about his new Prime Video movie,Heads of State (Idris Elba), and he asked if there was anything he could say about the film, and he teased how it differs from his previous work on Extraction:

When the Marvel Cinematic Universe first started, it didn't have the luxury of creating movies around Marvel's most popular heroes. Back then, the live-action rights of these beloved characters were scattered across multiple companies, such as Fox, which was in charge of X-Men and Daredevil, and Sony, which oversaw Spider-Man and Ghost Rider.

As such, the first MCU project ever made had to settle for shining the spotlight on Iron Man, who was considered a B-tier character at best. Much to everyone's surprise, the film premiered to critical and commercial acclaim, and since then, we've seen this "underdog story" repeat itself throughout history.

Back in the day, nobody understood why the MCU would create a Guardians of the Galaxy theatrical movie, yet here we are years later with an entire trilogy that's considered among the best sagas in superhero history. While not every single project featuring relatively unknown characters has...

Thor: Love and Thunder was a movie that took everything good about Thor: Ragnarok and turned it up to a level that transformed it to mush. Although the movie proclaimed in its final card that Thor would return, and teased Hercules in its post-credits scene, the future of Chris Hemsworth’s long-serving character became very uncertain. However, a new rumor has suggested Hemworth’s return is now being planned beyond his Doomsday role, but with a big change.

While Hemsworth was the first person to be revealed during Marvel Studios’ elaborate Avengers: Doomsday cast announcement, many fans believed that his appearance in that movie and the subsequent Avengers: Secret Wars could well be the last time fans would see Thor appear in the franchise. According to insider Daniel Richtman, that may not be the case.

As shared on his Patreon channel, Richtman has suggested that Thor 5 is “officially” in development,...

Thor: Love and Thunder had the potential to be one of the best Marvel Studios movies ever. Heavily inspired by Jason Aaron's Thor run and featuring both The Mighty Thor and Gorr the God Butcher, the sequel had heaps going for it, including Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi.

The filmmaker had successfully reinvented the God of Thunder in 2017, and fans were excited to see what he'd do next. Unfortunately, he delivered a movie which largely disappointed fans, and even Chris Hemsworth has repeatedly acknowledged that the movie fell short.

Most fans agree that, after running wild with Thor: Love and Thunder and making the franchise too comedic, it's best for Waititi to move on. Extraction director Sam Hargrave has been named as a possible contender to helm Thor 5, and we have another update on the movie today.

According to scooper Daniel Richtman, Thor 5 is now "officially" in development at Marvel Studios.

Rumors are flying that Chris Hemsworth is preparing to hang up Mjolnir and end his tenure as Thor, and the actor issued a statement celebrating his superhero. After the MCU Og was confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday, The Cosmic Circus reported that Marvel Studios is gearing up for Thor's send-off that would also introduce the Thor Corps and reunite him with his brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston).

These rumors only become more confusing amid claims that Marvel Studios is also developing Thor 5 with plans to abandon a franchise mainstay, aiming to replace Love & Thunder director Taika Waititi with Extraction filmmaker Sam Hargrave.

Chris Hemsworth posted a new video on his YouTube channel titled, "Thank You, The Legacy of Thor," featuring various clips, behind-the-scenes footage, and interview segments from his MCU tenure.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole came to be thanks to the bravery of six unexpected heroes. History was made the moment Iron Man, Black Widow, Hulk, Hawkeye, Captain America, and Thor united to defeat Loki and the Chitauri forces during the events of The Avengers. Ever since that day, audiences have been on an unforgettable journey in which they've watched these characters grow, go on standalone adventures, get new costumes, and eventually assemble yet again to save half of the life in the universe. Unfortunately, we've also had to bid our farewells to some of them.

Out of the six starting Avengers, only three stand. Hulk has been aiding his cousin Jennifer Walters in controlling her newfound powers in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, while Clint Barton acted as Kate Bishop's mentor during the events of Hawkeye. So what about the God of Thunder? Well, he's...

Thor is the founding member of the MCU’s Avengers, making his solo debut after Iron Man 2. He has been one of the most popular heroes in the franchise, although his last movie was a huge disappointment. Chris Hemsworth is confirmed to appear in Avengers: Doomsday, but his journey is still incomplete.

A fifth solo movie has been in the rumor mill for quite some time now, and though Taika Waititi is not involved, the franchise seems to still be in ruins. Thor certainly deserves a farewell worthy of him, as he has faced quite a lot of events since his debut in Thor. Jason Aaron’s The War of the Realms might be the perfect story to adapt for it.

It would be an understatement to say that anticipation is at an all-time high for Earth's Mightiest Heroes to make an explosive comeback in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. But while all eyes are set on these two epic crossovers, there are even more stories awaiting behind them. The Marvel Cinematic Universe shows no signs of slowing down, and fans wonder what their next phase will be about. Could we finally get stand-alone projects centered on the X-Men? Will the supernatural take over as the Midnight Suns steal the spotlight? Will we ever see The Eternals 2?

The third phase of the MCU will kick-start after Avengers: Secret Wars, and so far, we have no clue what its overarching narrative will look like or who will get to be a part of it. After all, many are expected to bite the dust once Doom arrives and the Multiverse collapses — especially those...

Thor 5 is the MCU’s next best bet after maintaining a winning streak in 2025. Although it is still unclear which developmental stage the movie is in currently, fans of Chris Hemsworth are hyped for the movie all the same.

Not only because it would mark a milestone with the fifth solo movie of the Asgardian Avenger, but also it might finally revive Thor’s storyline after the messy debacle of Thor: Love and Thunder. Interestingly, though, it seems like there might be a few big changes before Thor 5 can make any significant progress.

The biggest one, which has already been public for a long while, is, of course, that Marvel veteran Taika Waititi will not be returning to direct the upcoming movie. However, it might not be too long before we find out who will be helming Thor 5, as sources suggest that Chris Hemsworth already has someone in mind.

Chris Hemsworth has been portraying Thor for over 14 years now. His most recent solo movie, Love and Thunder, received less-than-ideal reviews from both fans and critics. Despite ongoing rumors about Hemsworth retiring from the role, the actor previously stated that he wants to continue playing Thor, and he’s stayed true to his word by joining the cast of Avengers: Doomsday.

For months, insiders have been buzzing that Thor 5 is in development. In fact, some rumors, dating back over a year, suggest that the next installment will feature a completely different tone compared to Love and Thunder.

Now, industry insider MyTimeToShineHello recently revealed what may lie in Thor’s future in the next several years.

According to Mttsh, initially, it was rumored that Avengers: Secret Wars would mark the end of Thor’s journey in the MCU. However, a new source has revealed that this won’t be the case,...

According to a new rumor, Thor 5 is coming and will do so without one franchise mainstay. No official word on a fifth Thor film has been made public yet; however, teases are out there. The God of Thunder himself, Chris Hemsworth, has already proven that he is ready for more, signing on to appear in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday and sharing that he would do it (as long as he doesn't have to get as big as he has for past Thor movies).

Recent reporting suggested Thor 5 is already in the works; however, it is moving ahead without franchise director Taika Waititi. Waitit jumped onto the Thor train with Thor: Ragnarok, giving the Asgardian MCU sub-franchise a new voice when it needed it most. His future with the series has been questioned following the lackluster reception to 2022's Thor: Love and Thunder, and the McU's plans for the God of Thunder are unclear looking forward.

Thor: Love and Thunder had the potential to be one of the best Marvel Studios movies ever. Heavily inspired by Jason Aaron's Thor run and featuring both The Mighty Thor and Gorr the God Butcher, the sequel had plenty going for it.

Filmmaker Taika Waititi had successfully reinvented the God of Thunder in 2017's Thor: Ragnarok, and fans were excited to see what he'd do next. The result was a movie which largely disappointed fans, and even Chris Hemsworth has never shied away from acknowledging where the movie fell short.

There's been a lot of chatter in recent weeks about Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars serving as a send-off for the mighty Asgardian. Today, insider @MyTimeToShineH claims to have heard otherwise.

"A source reached out, turns out Secret Wars won’t be the end of his story," they claim on X. "Thor 5 is in the works, no Taika this time,...
