Pedro Pascal’s reign of dad-ness officially continues. A new trailer for Fantastic Four: First Steps confirms what has long been suspected, Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) is pregnant. Johnny (Joseph Quinn) says she’ll be the best mom. Reed (Pascal), though? He’s out of his depth. That kinda sorta seems to be the theme here: Sue holding things together, Reed being at a loss.

It’s the end of the world as they know it … and keep knowing it … and then maybe it ends again? The new trailer for Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s 28 Years Later gives us a little more of a look at the seemingly idyllic small village in which some folks are riding out the zombie apocalypse.

The Life of Chuck is based on the Stephen King story of the same name, which tells one man’s life story in reverse, from his early demise to his childhood in a (haunted?) house. This is not Flanagan’s first King rodeo, nor will it be his last (new takes on both Carrie and The Dark Tower series are in his future).
