  Info in Movie News | Wednesday Addams is back at Nevermore Academy, and no, she’s not thrilled about it. With new enemies lurking, a stalker sending cryptic threats, and her name now plastered all over campus like some reluctant rockstar, Wednesday’s sophomore year is shaping up to be even stranger than the last.

Vin Diesel Teases Exciting Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots Live Action Movie

Info in Movie News | Known for his exciting stunts and unpredictable performances, Vin Diesel has once again made something exciting with a preview of his upcoming project, generating enthusiasm among fans around the world. This time, he is not behind the wheel, but bringing one of Mattel's oldest toys to life, the live action movie of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots.

Reported from Comibook on Monday, February 17, 2025, Diesel recently took to Instagram, giving a first look at the quite promising movie adaptation, of Mattel's famous tabletop boxing game. He released concept art with two boxing robots, green and red. The accompanying caption: “A childhood dream come true...” evoked nostalgia as fans expressed real enthusiasm. This social media reveal represents the first solid update on this project since Mattel confirmed in July 2023 that it was in active development.

 

The Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots Movie Origin Announcement Originally Announced for April 2021 is a collaboration between Universal Pictures, Mattel Films and Diesel's own production company, One Race Films. Oscar-nominated screenwriter Ryan Engle, best known for his writing for the film Rampage, was appointed to write the screenplay. The story involves a father and son bonding with an advanced war machine.

Diesel’s conceptual art offers the first visual context on the overall production, but the casting details and production timetables remain undisclosed. But given the lack of development updates, the figure concept art may suggest more fundamental shifts are at play behind the scenes regarding the plans for the game.

Further afield, with the commercial success of the Barbie adaptation in 2023 - the highest selling for Warner Bros Pictures after a year of mixed box office returns - Mattel Films has firmly ridden the wave in a new tilt at a portfolio of adaptations. And the combination of great storytelling with commercial power in film adaptations of toys has led to an array of projects being set in motion, such as Matchbox with John Cena, a present-day take on Barney from Academy Award-winning director Daniel Kaluuya and a J. J. Abrams’ type movie for Hot Wheels at Warner Bros. Another about UNO from the production company Behind the Scenes Pictures, an action-heist comedy based on the classic game of cards AND the recent movie Masters of the Universe.

As of now, Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots does not have an official release date. As audiences wait for more details on Vin Diesel's latest project, one eye is open for his next monster hit.

  Info in Movie News | Tom Holland is back as Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the fourth installment in his Marvel Cinematic Universe saga, and this time, the tone is darker, the stakes are higher, and Peter is more alone than ever before. To celebrate Spider-Man Day, Sony surprised fans with a teaser that shows Holland’s new suit in action. It’s sleeker, more tactical, and noticeably darker, a reflection of Peter’s new reality as a street-level hero operating without Avengers support. According to Collider,  production is ongoing in Glasgow, a city that is being used as the location for the shooting of a movie set in New York City. The fans were very smart, and they found an Easter egg in the set photos that were leaked: an armored truck with a red demon symbol. Gamers hardly had to be told, the logo of the Inner Demons was there, the gang of Mister Negative who is the leader in the Spider-Man PlayStation games. This nod strongly suggests that Mister Negative (a.k...
