<p>Hollywood studio Universal Pictures teased new movies on Wednesday from Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan while showcasing footage from its upcoming sequels Jurassic World Rebirth and Wicked: For Good at the CinemaCon event.</p>
<p>Spielberg "is currently shooting a film that promises to be a return to form, in the spirit of his monumental classics," said Universal executive Jim Orr, at the movie theater industry summit in Las Vegas.</p>
<p>The untitled film, out June 2026, is widely rumored to be a blockbuster sci-fi. Orr promised it would contain "a propulsive, modern, out-of-this-world twist," without sharing further details.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Nolan is in the Mediterranean shooting his star-studded version of "The Odyssey," based on the millennia-old Ancient Greek epic saga written by Homer.</p>
<p>It is due to be released in July 2026, starring Matt Damon as Odysseus, alongside Tom Holland, Zendaya and Anne Hathaway.</p>
<p>In a bold prediction even by the standards of Hollywood marketing, Orr suggested the film "will be a once-in-a-generation cinematic masterpiece that Homer himself would, quite frankly, be very proud of."</p>
<p>The comments came at CinemaCon, an annual week-long summit at which Hollywood studios present their biggest upcoming movies to theater owners and press.</p>
<p>A theme of this year's event has been a drive to get studios to commit to keeping new movies in US theaters for at least 45 days before they appear on streaming.</p>
<p>A source with knowledge of the talks told AFP Wednesday that three of Hollywood's six biggest studios have committed.</p>

'A force on set': Ana de Armas on working with Keanu Reeves in John Wick spinoff Ballerina Ana has previously opened up about the extensive training she has undergone for Ballerina. Even though she was a part of James Bond film, she said she had to prepare rigorously for four months, working out in the gym and visiting a shooting range in addition to spending hours with the stunt team. “For ‘Bond,’ I only had three weeks of training. ‘Ballerina’ was a whole other level. This is by far the most physical and challenging thing I’ve ever done,” she said. John Wick spinoff Ballerina new stills showcase Ana de Armas and Norman Reedus in action As for Keanu Reeves, he will appear in Ballerina before he returns to the screen for “John Wick 5.” The project reunites him with franchise director and producer Chad Stahelski and Thunder Road producers Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee.

Then the people of MNS will have to do the work of throwing them in the trash and we will do it, and will continue to do it&hellip; We will not allowe 'Abir Gulal' to be released in India in any manner. Those who want to take Pakistani artists to task, let them be happy, but remember that the match is with us,'' Khopkar wrote on X.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam has also expressed his views on Khan's work.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As reported by Dainik Bhaskar, Nirupam said, &ldquo;When a film is released from Pakistan, Indian people do not like to watch it. It is a different thing to watch one or two films for a minute, but the films of Pakistani artists do not become very popular among the Indian audience. That is why Pakistani stars have never been able to succeed in India. I would advise Pakistanis that instead of exploring the Indian market, it is better to work in their own country. If the central government has made a policy, it should be implemented. I believe that the government should decide whether Pakistani films should be allowed to come to India or not. Whether Pakistani artists should be allowed to work in India or not should also be the government&rsquo;s decision.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Abir Gulaal marks Fawad&rsquo;s return to the Indian screen after nearly nine years. He was last seen in<em> </em>Karan Johar's <em>Ae Dil Hai Mushkil&nbsp;</em>(2016).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

After a nine-year hiatus, actor Fawad Khan is set to make his return to Bollywood with the movie Abir Gulaal. However, just a day after the announcement, the film faced major backlash from political leaders over Khan’s return to Indian cinema.

After a nine-year hiatus, actor Fawad Khan is set to make his return to Bollywood with the movie Abir Gulaal. However, just a day after the announcement, the film faced major backlash from political leaders over Khan’s return to Indian cinema. Following the film’s announcement, a political leader from Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) condemned Khan's return, stating that any movie starring a Pakistani actor will not be released in India. Also read: Fawad Khan serenades Vaani Kapoor with a Bollywood song in the first teaser of Abir Gulaal, watch In a social media post on X, Ameya Khopkar, the president of the MNS' cinema wing, said that they will not allow the release of a movie featuring a Pakistani actor in Maharashtra. पाकिस्तानी कलाकारांचे चित्रपट भारतात प्रदर्शित होऊ देणार नाही, हे इतक्या वेळा सांगूनही काही नासके आंबे उपटतातच. मग त्यांना कचऱ्यात टाकायचं काम मनसैनिकांनाच करावं लागणार आणि आम्ही ते करणार, करत राहणार… ‘अबीर गुलाल’ हा चित्रपट भारतात प्रदर्शित होऊ देणार नाही म्हणजे नाही. ज्यांना… — Ameya Khopkar (@MNSAmeyaKhopkar) April 2, 2025 ''Despite saying so many times that films by Pakistani artists will not be released in India, some nasty mangoes are still being pulled out. Then the people of MNS will have to do the work of throwing them in the trash and we will do it, and will continue to do it… We will not allowe 'Abir Gulal' to be released in India in any manner. Those who want to take Pakistani artists to task, let them be happy, but remember that the match is with us,'' Khopkar wrote on X.
