We finally have our first look at Colin Farrell's long-awaited "The Batman" spinoff series. On 12 April, Max (formerly known as HBO Max), officially kicked off its new streaming rebrand after it dropped the first suspenseful teaser of "The Penguin," the next chapter of "The Batman" saga, which sees Farrell's titular gangster character return to Gotham City to wreak havoc. The clip also unveiled that the Matt Reeves-executive produced show is currently in production in New York City and expected to debut on our TV screens in 2024.

"The Batman," which was directed by Reeves, premiered in March 2022 with Robert Pattinson as the titular Caped Crusader and Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman. It was a box-office smash, making over $770 million. Shortly after the movie was released, Max confirmed that its spinoff series was happening. "The Penguin" apparently takes place soon after the events of "The Batman," and the eight-episode limited series serves as a sequel.

Illumination and Universal Pictures' The Super Mario Bros. Movie amassed $377M at the global box office debut since opening last Wednesday - making it the biggest animated movie opening of all time ahead of Frozen 2 ($358M) in 2019. Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic's $100M-budget CG-animated adventure flick, based on the Nintendo video game franchise, smashed the record for biggest video game adaptation global opening after Warcraft ($210M) in 2016

Many movie studios used Super Bowl Sunday to promote their upcoming movies, though Lionsgate decided to devote an entire week to John Wick: Chapter 4 with Wick Week kicking off on Monday. Lionsgate dropped a new video for the highly-anticipated sequel shortly after the Super Bowl ended, getting fans ready for 'Wick Week,' where they teased, 'new exclusives' will be revealed 'every day for five days.' The first exclusive came from Collider on Monday, revealing John Wick: Chapter 4 will be the longest film in franchise history, clocking in at 2 hours and 49 minutes.
