I Play Rocky Trailer

Amazon MGM Studios released the official trailer for the new biopic I Play Rocky.

“The film is an electrifying true story about an unknown actor with an unshakable belief that he wasn’t just meant to write Rocky—he was meant to be Rocky Balboa. Told “no” at every turn, Sylvester Stallone bets everything on himself, holding the line on playing the lead against seemingly impossible odds. The result is the ultimate underdog story behind the ultimate underdog movie.”

I Play Rocky premieres exclusively in theaters on November 13, 2026.

Matt Reeves released a promotional video for The Batman: Part II. The promo doesn’t show much. Just that the sky is falling around Robert Pattinson’s Batman. He turns slowly, as sirens blare, snow falls, and Gotham’s Dark Knight gets ready to brave the storm. The Batman Part II premieres on February 18, 2028.
