Warner Bros. delivered one of the most electric presentations of CinemaCon 2026, packing the Dolby Colosseum with star power, first-look footage, and major reveals that underscored the studio’s all-in commitment to theatrical storytelling.

The showcase kicked off with a surprise appearance from Patton Oswalt, who stepped in as emcee and immediately set the tone for a night filled with big moments. That energy only escalated as Tom Cruise and Alejandro G. Iñárritu took the stage to debut the first footage from Digger, teasing a bold and unexpected direction for the superstar. The presentation kept its momentum with an early look at The Great Beyond from J. J. Abrams, followed by new footage from The End of Oak Street, Evil Dead Burn, and Mortal Kombat II, reinforcing Warner Bros.’ genre dominance across the board.

Then came one of the night’s most playful—and visually unforgettable—moments. Thing 1 and Thing 2 stormed the stage, transforming the Colosseum into a sea of blue wigs as Warner Bros.

The focus quickly shifted to DC, where Co-Chairman & Co-CEO Peter Safran introduced a world premiere teaser for Clayface, offering a darker, more grounded take on the iconic villain. From there, the spotlight turned to Supergirl, as Milly Alcock, Jason Momoa, and director Craig Gillespie debuted the first look at the highly anticipated film, teasing масштаб action and a fresh new chapter for the DC Universe.

Nostalgia met magic as Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman took the stage to introduce Practical Magic 2, sharing a teaser that blended the charm of the original with a modern cinematic scale, drawing enthusiastic reactions from the crowd.

For the grand finale, Dune: Part Three took over in epic fashion. Director Denis Villeneuve was joined by Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, and Jason Momoa, as a wave of Fremen filled the stage before the audience was treated to the first seven minutes of the film—an awe-inspiring preview that solidified the next chapter as a true cinematic event.

Beyond the footage and talent appearances, Warner Bros. also looked ahead, unveiling its new label Warner Bros. Clockwork and teasing a robust upcoming slate that includes Ocean’s, Man of Tomorrow, Shiver, and The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum. The studio also confirmed that Zach Cregger will return to expand the world of Weapons with a new prequel centered on Aunt Gladys.

All in all, Warner Bros.’ CinemaCon 2026 presentation was a high-energy celebration of theatrical storytelling—blending spectacle, nostalgia, and bold new visions into a showcase that made one thing clear: the studio is doubling down on the big-screen experience in a major way.
