"Hello, sweetie."

In "Crime 101," mindfulness and meditation are a surprisingly big part of the story. So, in the lead up to the project’s release on the 2026 movie schedule, we asked Halle Berry about mantras and manifestation and how it's worked in her life. In response, she shared how she and her partner, Van Hunt, happened through manifestation and lots of sticky notes. As the "Crime 101" trailer makes clear, this movie is an action-packed crime caper. However, there’s a throughline of a character listening to affirmations and meditations throughout the movie. So, CinemaBlend’s Hannah Saulic asked Halle Berry about it during an interview for the movie. After Saulic specifically wondered if the actress had a morning mantra of her own, the "X-Men" star enthusiastically said she did, and recalled how she totally manifested her relationship with Van Hunt.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is known for constantly expanding, through the release of projects in theaters and streaming with a Disney+ subscription. While there are plenty of exciting projects, the most anticipated upcoming Marvel movie is The Russo Brothers' "Avengers: Doomsday." There are plenty of fans who have been hoping Halle Berry returns as Storm in that project, and Chris Hemsworth told CinemaBlend why he would love to have a crossover with Thor. What we know about "Avengers: Doomsday" is super limited, so there are countless rumors about what might be included. The Doomsday cast announcement revealed entire teams of heroes that will appear, including a number of OGs from the "X-Men" movies. As you can see in the above video, during a conversation with CinemaBlend about their movie Crime 101, Hemsworth and Berry were asked if Thor would see Storm as "stealing his thunder" in a potential crossover.

The 2026 movie schedule is filled with a vast array of exciting titles, and Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of "The Odyssey" is definitely shaping up to be one of them. Nolan is primed to jump into mythological territory with this latest motion picture, and early looks at the film have sparked hype (and nitpicks) from the public. While fans still have to wait several months to see the finished film, Nolan’s brother, Jonathan, has already screened it. And, luckily, the younger Nolan shared his take on the film while speaking with CinemaBlend. Filmmakers are known to screen early cuts of their movies for friends, family and colleagues. So the notion of Jonathan Nolan having already seen his brother’s latest film does make a lot of sense. CinemaBlend just recently caught up with the "Fallout" producer, during which we broached the subject of the older Nolan’s highly anticipated historical epic.



Wuthering Heights is often referred to as one of the greatest love stories in literature, but now that it’s one of the latest book-to-screen adaptations on the 2026 movie schedule, how much is the movie starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi really going to make us swoon? Writer/director Emerald Fennell has previously revealed her hopes to specifically make it this generation’s "Titanic," but it shares one big difference with the epic: it’s rated R. When CinemaBlend’s Hannah Saulic spoke to Emerald Fennell on the movie, she discussed her thoughts on the movie’s R rating. Was she conscious about James Cameron’s movie being PG-13 rather than R?

Priyanka Chopra Jonas has been lighting up big screens for nearly 25 years, but across the past decade, her focus has been on bringing South Asian representation to Hollywood as an actress and producer with projects like Quantico, Baywatch and as the lead of the Citadel cast. Her latest project, "Varanasi," has Chopra Jonas returning to Indian cinema for the first time in years in a huge way. She spoke to CinemaBlend about one reason why she absolutely had to play the mysterious role of Mandakini in the globetrotting action film coming in 2027. In November, I had the opportunity to travel to Hyderabad, India where Varanasi is currently filming to learn about the film from "RRR" filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli. When I sat down with the main cast, i.e. Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran, we talked about a major part of the film: the music numbers.

We may be in the final stretch of 2025 movie releases, but there’s quite a few great films to seek out, like Chloé Zhao’s "Hamnet." The adaptation of the novel of the same name imagines what it was like for William Shakespeare and his wife, Anne Hathaway, to lose their son, "Hamnet," and how it influenced the creation of his famed tragedy, "Hamlet." During CinemaBlend’s Hamnet interviews, Paul Mescal shared his perspective of the film. While it’s not what I expected him to highlight, it has me seeing the film in an even greater light. Paul Mescal gives an especially great performance as William Shakespeare when he was first getting his start as a playwright. While talking to our own Hannah Saulic, here’s what he said about his favorite part of the role.


There’s a new rom-com coming on the 2025 movie schedule called Eternity, and it has us thinking a lot about what makes people fall in love. That's because it follows a woman named Joan as she enters the afterlife and has to choose to spend eternity with either her first love, Luke, or the man she spent most of her life with, Larry. Well, the cast of this movie – Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller and Callum Turner – answered that question for us, with Turner specifically sharing the sweet moment that made him fall in love with Dua Lipa. When CinemaBlend’s Hannah Saulic interviewed Eternity’s leading trio, she asked a question based on a moment in the upcoming A24 movie where Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s Anna tells Miles Teller’s Larry that he needs to remind Elizabeth Olsen’s Joan why they fell in love in the first place. Olsen, Teller and Turner all recalled moments that made them fall for their respective partners, with the Masters of the Air star telling a little story about a kind moment his fiancée, Dua Lipa, had with her cousin.

By all accounts, George Clooney is one of the best actors of his generation and one of the most accomplished stars in the history of Hollywood. Clooney’s wave of success began in earnest in the ‘90s, when he landed the role of Dr. Doug Ross on NBC’s "ER," which became a success. However, before taking on the role of the noble and suave medical practitioner, Clooney had to pay his dues and that meant experiencing his share of failures. The fan-favorite actor reflected on that part of his career while speaking with CinemaBlend. Clooney spoke with us while promoting his 2025 movie release, "Jay Kelly," which sees him play a seasoned actor struggling with personal regrets from his past. Considering the character’s journey, CinemaBlend asked Clooney how his own life and career compare to Jay’s. Clooney opined that unlike him, Jay found success early on and, as he explained, it took him some time to find his own footing within show business.
