To open Sony's presentation, Anaconda stars Jack Black and Paul Rudd showed up in a video and performed a hilarious comedy sketch to get fans hyped for their movie. Rudd joked that fans are "just getting a sneak peek of [their] professionalism" as he and Black team up for the 2025 remake.

Sony Chairman Teases Future of Cinema

Sony Pictures Chairman Tom Rothman took the CinemaCon stage to help lead Sony's presentation.

He addressed movie theaters and studios doing "the right things" together for a better future for everybody involved:

"If theaters and studios manage for the long term and do the right things, the future will be great."

28 Years Later & Sequel Take the CinemaCon Stage

The first movie Rothman helped present on stage was the upcoming 28 Years Later, which will debut in theaters on June 20.

Bringing out director Danny Boyle, he teased the presentation starting "high up on Mount Rushmore" for a movie fans have waited years to see:

"We will begin high up on Mount Rushmore, with a director making a film audiences have wanted for… '28 Years Later.'"

Boyle then shared how much he enjoys apocalypses and "blowing things up:"

"I still love an apocalypse…British style. I love killing the infested…And I still love blowing things up."

Fans then got a new look at 28 Years Later through a new trailer, which showed armored mercenaries in a dark cave, a large infect man, running naked zombies chasing Aaron Taylor Johnson's character, the bone temple, a skinny zombie (perhaps played by Cillian Murphy), and a priest shouting as he lets zombies overtake him in a church.

Next up, The Marvels director Nia DaCosta joined Rothman on stage to discuss her new film, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, debuting in theaters on January 16, 2026.

Coming as the sequel to 28 Years Later, The Bone Temple is said to be "very much informed" by its predecessor while also being "very different:"

"While it’s very much informed by '28 Years Later,' 'The Bone Temple' is very different… I was able to let my freak flag fly."

She also teased what fans can expect from star Ralph Fiennes (known for his work in Harry Potter), telling viewers that they have "never seen him like this:"

"You’ve seen Ralph Finnes in a lot of different roles… But you’ve never seen him like this though."

At long last, CinemaCon 2025 came with a highly-awaited update on Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, the third film in Sony's animated Spider-Verse trilogy.

Producer Phil Lord was joined on stage by directors Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson, who confirmed the threequel will be released in theaters in 2027.

Noting that the team "decided [they took the time] to get it just right," Lord also told attendees how Sony was "breaking the boundaries with animation again."

He also indicated the film "picks up the moment [Across the Spider-Verse] ended," setting up an epic conclusion to the story. This was followed by audio from the second film in the franchise, including quotes from Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, and The Spot.

Fans also got a glimpse of the Spot growing more powerful from the end of the last movie.

Also included were multiple images from the movie, including one teasing the upcoming battle between Miles Morales and Miles G. Morales, better known as the Prowler.

Resident Evil director Zach Creggar came up for his moment at CinemaCon to tease his upcoming movie, coming to theaters on September 18, 2026.

Noting the moment in almost every game from the original series "where you finally yourself standing at the edge of a dark passageway, and your health is almost at zero," he teased how that idea is the spirit of the movie he's making:

"There’s a moment that comes in almost every Resident Evil game where you finally yourself standing at the edge of a dark passageway, and your health is almost at zero, and your ammo is almost at zero…. But you know something is waiting for you in that darkness. That dread, that awful moment where you have to will yourself to take a step in, that is a thrill the games have perfected…The movie I am going to make will be built in the spirit of those games."

The story follows one of the central protagonists as they journey from Point A to Point B, and it is said to be different than any past film.

South Korean filmmaker Kogonada's A Big Bold Beautiful Journey was next on Sony's list of movies to present, this one coming on September 19.

Starring Barbie's Margot Robbie and The Penguin's Colin Farrell, this is a sci-fi film with a futuristic element to it as fans see a GPS unit seemingly setting up the two lead characters. 

A red door then pops up in the middle of nowhere and leads to mystery. The trailer goes on t show several other doors, all of which seemingly lead the characters to reliving moments in their past.

Farrell is seen going through old experiences at his high school while Robbie is taken back to when her mother died.

The footage promises an incredibly unique, time-traveling rom-com adventure.

Director Tyree Dillihay came in front of the CinemaCon crowd to hype up his newest directorial effort, GOAT. This film will hit theaters on February 13, 2026, coinciding with the NBA's All-Star Weekend.

That event is prevalent due to this movie being produced by Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, a four-time NBA champion, two-time MVP, and 10-time All-Star.

Dillihay teased the main character of the film being "a little goat who is determined to team up with his idol" to make it big in an animal sports league. He hopes to do this while battling the idea that small beings cannot succeed in sports, a theory Curry helped prove in the real-world NBA:

"Our main character is a little goat who is determined to team up with his idol to make it into the big league of animal sports, where conventional wisdom says small can’t ball."

Curry then came in with a video message to tease his anticipation for the animated movie.

New Look at I Know What You Did Last Summer

Sony gave fans their first look into the upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer remake, coming on July 18.

The trailer begins with Madelyn Cline's character soaking in a bathtub with a red bath bomb as her boyfriend is unexpectedly attacked and killed brutally in the living room via a masked killer and a hook gun.

Cline's character makes it out untouched, but she is seen later asking her friends, "Do you think it some kind of f***ed up karma for what we did?"

Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt from the original film get some screentime, with the trailer ending with Hewitt telling the newbies, "I have one question: What did you do last summer?"

This included a live stage performance with martial artists holding candle lamps as a massive drum played in the background. This led up to film stars Ben Wang and Ralph Macchio taking the stage for fans.

Calling it "an honor to be back in theaters and [reprise] Danny LaRusso," Macchio said his character "sees a lot of himself" in Li Fong's (Wang) struggles.

The tease for a brand new trailer (debuting on Tuesday, April 1) shows Li and LaRusso both having unexpected visitors.

Alongside Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group President Josh Greenstein, Spider-Man 4 director Destin Daniel Cretton came on stage to an adoring crowd. He teased hoping the movie "goes better than his gambling earlier in the day," where he lost $200 at a table.

Reminiscing on "Spider-Man" being his son's first word, Cretton noted how his obsession with the character "stemmed from Peter Parker’s "humor, "insecurities", and his "humanity."

He also called the movie "a ride that we haven't really seen before," just before showing a video message from Spider-Man star Tom Holland.

Calling the movie "a fresh start," Holland announced the title of his next solo movie - Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The sequel was then reconfirmed to debut in theaters on July 31, 2026.

Director Sam Mendes (1917) came onstage to tease a massive project on his schedule based on The Beatles.

Calling it a "four-film cinematic event," he also said he had "temporarily given up" on figuring out how to make a movie for this group. This was before his children reinvigorated his interest.

This saga will be made up of four different movies - one focusing on each individual member of The Beatles - which will all be released in April 2028. Some of the material will also be intertwined with other movies as Tom Rothman called it "the first bingeable theatrical experience."

Rothman later teased that Sony will "dominate the culture that month," promising that concept to fans as The Beatles are brought to life.

The cast of the four films was also announced, starting with Gladiator 2's Paul Mescal portraying Paul McCartney.

Two MCU stars will join the cast as well, with The Fantastic Four: First Steps' Joseph Quinn portraying George Harrison while Eternals' Barry Keoghan will embody Ringo Starr.

Finally, the iconic quartet will be completed by Harris Dickinson, who takes on the daunting task of playing John Lennon.
