Hot off the heels of Project Hail Mary, Amazon MGM Studios is set to reveal a bit of its future at CinemaCon 2026. While we don’t know exactly what will be shown, we could be getting updates on such projects as Masters of the Universe, I Play Rocky, Madden, The Beekeeper 2, The Thomas Crown Affair, Spaceballs 2, Highlander, Voltron, and perhaps even the currently untitled 26th James Bond film.
The presentation is unfortunately not being streamed online, but IGN is in the room, and we’ll be reporting on all the big news as it happens. So, be sure to keep checking back to see what’s in store for Amazon MGM Studios.
Project Hail Mary Crosses $525 Million at the Global Box Office
Mike Hopkins, the Head of Amazon MGM Studios, shared that Project Hail Mary was their biggest movie ever and that it just crossed $525 million at the global box office.
Thomas Crown Affair Footage Reveals Michael B. Jordan Is After Much More Than a Painting
Amazon MGM’s CinemaCon 2026 presentation kicked off with a musical performance by Thomas Crown Affair composer Jon Batiste, who played piano while electronic music was blended in. After that, footage was shown of the film.
We see Michael B. Jordan sitting across from Adria Arjona, and Adria asks Jordan if “this billionaire thing usually works.” He says it usually does and he likes taking risks if “it’s worth it, and then we see him stealing art.
It then cuts to Kenneth Branagh talking about all the art this thief has stolen, and Jordan asks Adria why she left the FBI. She responds by saying, “I didn’t want to be tied down.” It’s then revealed Jordan is planning something way more than a theft and that this job is personal.
Jordan then says to Branagh, “You think this is yours because you bought it? But it’s not.” There is then a big stunt at the end of Jordan being launched up the side of a building.
We then got to hear from the cast, and Jordan revealed he’s been dreaming of mnaking this film for years and that he saw the Brosnan version when he was just 12. He liked that it was about a guy who is “smart, sophisticated, and always three steps ahead.” He also watched the McQueen version and admired his effortless cool and edge. All of this led to him wanting to make this new version, but also to “give Crown a real mission, a real reason.”
Amazon MGM Studio Has a Commitment to Release at Least 15 Films a Year Into Theaters
In an age of endless streaming options, Amazon MGM Studio has made a commitment to release at least 15 movies a year into theaters. It also confirmed it was on schedule to make this happen.
When Is Amazon MGM Studios’ CinemaCon 2026 Presentation?
Amazon MGM Studios’ CinemaCon 2026 presentation will begin on Wednesday, April 15, at 8:30pm PT / 11:30pm ET. The show is set to run for a little under two hours and should wrap around 10:15pm PT / 1:15am ET.
What to Expect from Amazon MGM Studios’ CinemaCon 2026 Presentation?
Amazon MGM Studios hasn’t confirmed what will be part of today’s presentation, but it’s safe to say many of its 2026 films will get at least some of the spotlight, including The Sheep Detective, Jack Ryan: Ghost War, Masters of the Universe, 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank, I Play Rocky, and Madden.
Looking beyond 2026, 2027 looks to be the year for The Beekeeper 2, The Thomas Crown Affair, and Spaceballs 2, while the studio has undated films like Highlander, Voltron, and Heat 2.
There’s also the James Bond of it all, as Amazon MGM took over creative control of the iconic franchise in 2025. We know next to nothing about this next film and still have yet to learn who the next James Bond will be, so there’s always a chance they’ll make a big splash at CinemaCon 2026 with this.
