A new generation of heroes is born in the Star Wars: Skeleton Crew trailer.

After making a startling discovery on their planet, four kids — Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), KB (Kyriana Kratter), and Neel (Robert Timothy Smith) — find themselves lost in a foreign galaxy. In need of desperate help, the kids encounter Jod Na Nawood (Jude Law), a Force user who agrees to help them get home. The trip will be dangerous, evidenced by murderous pirates breathing down their necks.

Showrunners Jon Watts and Christopher Ford created and executive produced Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. Watts is best known for directing Tom Holland’s three Spider-Man films and the Apple TV+ action comedy Wolfs. Ford was a co-writer on Watts’ first Spider-Man film, Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Joseph Quinn uses a gun to look through a windown in Warfare.

A24 released the tense first trailer for Warfare, an upcoming war film written and directed by Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland.
