- Sony has made its big presentation to the 2026 CinemaCon crowd.
- ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ and ‘Resident Evil’ were among the big titles talked up.
- We also got a new look at ‘Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse’ and ‘The Social Reckoning’.
While not exactly the first studio to present at this year’s CinemaCon event in Las Vegas (that honor went to a collection of smaller outfits such as StudioCanal and Angel), Sony was the first of the major legacy companies to tout its wears, including a new ‘Insidious’ entry and ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day.’

There was also an appearance by Justin Lin, who is about to head off to New Zealand to shoot an adaptation of video game title ‘Helldivers’ starring Jason Momoa, which will be out next year.

Let’s run down the big hitters, shall we?
‘The Breadwinner’
Comedian Nate Bargatze kicked off the presentation proper with footage from his comedy movie, which sees a suburban couple switch parenting roles when the wife (played by Mandy Moore), scores a deal on ‘Shark Tank’. Bargatze was naturally funny introducing the film, but also promised to keep selling tickets to keep the exhibitors happy.

The promotional push for the latest Spider-outing has been strangely muted given the success of ‘No Way Home’, and the CinemaCon presentation was much the same –– Tom Holland was there in video form and we got a look at a scene from the film, which the studio is describing as the most emotional and grown up of the franchise so far.

Directed by Jacob Chase, the latest ‘Insidious’ follows a young woman (played by Amelia Eve) who discovers that not only can she venture into the shadowy supernatural realm known as “the further”, she can also bring what lives there back to the real world. Yeah, that won’t lead to problems at all…

With ‘Weapons’ hitting big last year, there is naturally plenty of anticipation for Zach Cregger’s next movie. He’s been at work on a new take on video game franchise ‘Resident Evil’, and we got a quick look at it, which appears suitably atmospheric.

Aaron Sorkin’s follow-up to Facebook-focused controversial origin chronicle ‘The Social Network’ sees him taking the director’s chair. We saw a scene from the movie, which explores a whistleblower putting the company’s secrets at risk.

Despite all the delays, anticipation remains high for the third entry in the animated Spidey movie series. Early footage was shown from the movie, which finds Miles Morales desperately trying to protect his family as he’s hunted across the farthest reaches of the multiverse. It looks amazing, but we’ll still have to wait until June next year to see it.
‘Jumanji: Open World’
Sony wrapped up its CinemaCon 2026 show with a bang, bringing out Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black and Kevin Hart to talk up the new entry, with the game expanding into the real world (much like the 1990s original).
A sneak peek included some typically wild footage from what the team is calling “the biggest of the franchise so far.”
