Thunderbolts*
Premieres 2nd May in Cinemas
Move over Avengers, we’re rooting for the villains now. The studio’s answer to Suicide Squad is finally here with a rogue crew of anti-heroes from across the Marvel Cinematic Universe—think Bucky Barnes and U.S. Agent—thrown together to do the government’s dirty work. Packed with morally grey fan favourites, this film brings a much darker energy to the MCU. Unlike previous team-ups, this dysfunctional team has real baggage as each character has a killer past. Notably, audiences will be excited to see Florence Pugh jumping off Malaysia’s very own Merdeka 118.

The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2
Premieres 4th May on Apple TV+
In the most toxic dynamic since your ex’s group chat, Negan and Maggie return to the ruins of post-apocalyptic Manhattan for another season of uneasy alliances and undead nightmares. This season dives deeper into the fractured remnants of society, introducing new factions and enemies, both human and otherwise. They’re not just dodging zombies—they’re also fighting some inner demons. The city may be decayed, but the drama? Still very much alive. This gritty spinoff remains some of the best tension The Walking Dead universe has delivered in years.

Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt takes his last leap in the epic conclusion to the Mission: Impossible saga.

Lilo & Stitch
Premieres 23rd May in Cinemas
Disney’s beloved tale of family, friendship, and intergalactic mischief returns in live-action form, blending CGI with real-world charm to bring the touching Hawaiian story to a new generation of children. Lilo is still the fiercely independent girl we know and love, caught between social services and outer space agents after she adopts a blue dog. And Stitch? Still the chaotic gremlin we adore. With lush island visuals and plenty of emotional heart, this version aims to preserve the magic of the original while deepening its moving themes of identity, loss, and ohana.

Rick and Morty Season 8
Premieres 25th May on Max
The interdimensional duo are back, and more unhinged than ever. Season eight marks a fresh chapter for the adult animation, continuing its bizarre sci-fi antics, existential meltdowns, and offbeat humour that longtime fans love. Following major behind-the-scenes changes, all eyes are on how the new season holds up—and rest assured, it does. Early previews hint at a more serialised approach with a deeper emotional core under the cosmic chaos, still delivering galaxy-hopping madness with trauma-laced punchlines. It’s an animated acid trip you can’t quit.

And Just Like That… Season 3
Premieres 29th May on Max
Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte are strutting back into our lives, dripping in designer drama and complicated feelings. Season three of the Sex and the City continuation examines life in your 50s—whether that means confronting grief, rediscovering love, or finally figuring out what the group chat is for. With more high-fashion looks, awkward dating experiences, and possibly Samatha (we’re manifesting), this TV show remains a binge-worthy blend of nostalgia and newness. Whether you love it or hate it, this is a guilty pleasure that’s undeniably addictive.

GOOD BOY
Premieres 31st May on Prime Video
Picture this: a group of former medal-winning athletes swap podiums for police badges. Yes, please. GOOD BOY follows Yun Dong-ju (played by When Life Gives You Tangerines, Park Bo-gum), a once-promising boxer turned reluctant cop, who joins a ragtag team of former athletes recruited to take down a major crime syndicate. Alongside sharpshooter Ji Han-na (Kim So-hyun) and more equally charming misfits, this action-comedy delivers high-energy missions, hilarious dynamics, and a dash of slow-burn romance. Catch an episode every weekend—because one drop just isn’t enough for us.
