We can say a lot of nasty things about Tom Cruise, but one thing is certain: he's one hell of an action star. He's made the Jack Reacher franchise his own, surprising us all with the exciting action of the first film. Now, he's back for more in the improbably named sequel, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back.
As the idea of making Mars a habitable planet has become more of a possibility in recent years, it's no surprise that Hollywood has followed suit with films that are less about invading alien hordes, and more about what life might be like for those first settlers. The Martian gave us Matt Damon learning to live on the red planet, and in its latest trailer, The Space Between Us gives us Asa Butterfield falling in love on the red planet.

Has anyone yet figured out what to make of Guardians, Russia's upcoming superhero film? No? Me neither. The latest trailer for the film is equally befuddling and won't make up your mind about what it's really supposed to be - Parody? Satire? Uber-serious? - but it will make you kind of want to see the film.
Gotham ended on an exciting note last season, as Hugh Strange's experiments escaped captivity and set off into the night, meaning that Gotham is now populated with even more monsters than ever before and has to deal with all the weirdness and more than a few conspiracies, as the new trailer and sneak peek clips highlight.
We all know Billie Joe Armstrong as the front man for the long-lived punk-pop band Green Day - now, we shall know him as a film actor. Armstrong makes his leading role debut in Ordinary World, with a new trailer hitting today introducing us to a very different Billie Joe.
