23 new shots of Godzilla, and 5 city-crushing clips of the monster in action

It’s been public knowledge for a while now that Godzilla will square off against other, city-stomping creatures in director Gareth Edwards’ upcoming reboot of the famous monster’s big-screen franchise, but the context for that showdown has largely remained the stuff of speculation — until now, that is. 

In one of the latest clips released by Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, characters played by Ken Watanabe and David Strathairn discuss the likelihood that an unidentified “alpha predator” (probably Godzilla) will be able to defeat some other unknown threats (probably the other giant monsters glimpsed in previous footage from the film). After offering a cryptic response regarding man’s inability to control nature, the sequence shifts to a shot of a massive, winged creature flying through a city, then Godzilla himself rising from the rubble at one end of a busy street. 

And thus, the monstrous showdown begins…

Along with the aforementioned clip, the studio also released four more clips from Godzilla that focus on actors Bryan Cranston, David Strathairn, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, as well as a batch of new stills from the film. The stills offer up some clear shots of Godzilla and his supporting cast of human actors.

You can watch all five clips below (beginning with the showdown sequence), and view the new images released by the studio in the accompanying photo gallery.

Godzilla hits theaters May 16, and stars Bryan Cranston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe, Elizabeth Olsen, Juliette Binoche, Sally Hawkins, and David Strathairn.

Everything we know about Wednesday season 2
Wednesday Addams with Thing on her shoulder from Wednesday.

It took just over 30 years for The Addams Family to recapture the public's imagination after the 1991 film and its 1993 sequel, Addams Family Values. Wednesday not only reinvigorated Charles Addams' signature creations, but it also became one of Netflix's most popular shows, surpassing even Stranger Things. That's why it was appropriate that The Addams Family's Christina Ricci had a part in Wednesday season 1 that allowed her to pass the torch to the current Wednesday, Jenna Ortega.

Wednesday season 2 is on the way to Netflix, and we're sharing everything we know about the upcoming season, including when it will return, what to expect, and more.
When will Wednesday season 2 be released?
2025 at the earliest. Netflix has confirmed the nearly three-year gap between seasons 1 and 2, which was pushed back because of the actors and writers strikes of 2023.

The best movies on Amazon Prime Video (May 2024)
Miles Teller and J. K. Simmons in Whiplash.

When the flow of new movies on Amazon Prime Video slows down, there's only one thing to do: Dive into the library! Prime Video added a lot of new films at the beginning of May, and two of our favorites were among them: Whiplash and Run Lola Run. Between those two movies, you've got a riveting drama and a thrilling movie that still dazzles 26 years after its release.

For romance lovers, The Idea of You is still on top of Prime Video's movie chart, and The Holdovers is doing pretty well for an emotional Christmas movie that's out of season by about six months.

The 50 best movies on Netflix right now (May 2024)
Scott Adkins in One More Shot.

This week, the most popular movies on Netflix are all about Shrek. Only the first and fourth Shrek films are on Netflix, but they're both in the top 5, and they've helped end the long run of The Super Mario Bros. Movie landing in the top 10. Even the hit rom-com Anyone but You has now been banished from the list.

But if you're not in the mood for Shrek or its final sequel, the action film One More Shot is the latest unheralded movie to rise on Netflix's list. The Peanut Butter Falcon is also a worthy addition, and it would have been enough to get Dakota Johnson out of movie jail if it had come out after Madame Web instead of five years before it.
