“Flex X Cop” Season 2 Brings More Action, Chaos, and Crime-Solving Fun to Disney+ This August

Jin Isoo Is Back, and This Time He Means Business

The badge is official. The attitude? Still very much intact.

This summer, the hit Korean crime comedy Flex X Cop returns for an explosive second season, bringing back Jin Isoo and the violent crimes team for more high-stakes cases, outrageous clashes, and sharp comic tension. Flex X Cop Season 2 streams August 7 on Disney+, promising a fresh round of terrorists, assassins, impossible mysteries, and chaotic police work.

After a dramatic first season that followed Isoo’s transformation from spoiled conglomerate heir to surprisingly effective detective, the new season finds him stepping into the force with more discipline, more experience, and yes, still plenty of swagger.

From Spoiled Heir to Full-Fledged Police Officer

In Season 1, Jin Isoo proved that money, charm, and instinct could make an unlikely but powerful combination in solving crimes. Now, after surviving a gruelling stint at the police academy, Isoo returns not as an unofficial helper, but as a fully-fledged police officer.

Of course, becoming official does not mean things will suddenly become easy.

At the academy, Isoo’s unruly personality repeatedly clashed with his intense drill instructor, Joo Hye Ra. Strict, relentless, and absolutely not impressed by his privileged background, Hye Ra pushed Isoo to his limits. Unfortunately for Isoo, that chapter is not quite over.

When he returns to the violent crimes team, he discovers that Joo Hye Ra is now the team’s new leader. Even worse for him, the two are assigned as partners.

Cue the tension, the banter, and the kind of friction that makes every case a little more entertaining.

Ahn Bohyun and Jung Eunchae Lead the New Season

Ahn Bohyun, known for Itaewon Class and Yumi’s Cells, returns as Jin Isoo, the rich heir turned successful detective whose confidence often gets him into trouble before helping him out of it.

Joining him is Jung Eunchae, known for Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born and Pachinko, as Joo Hye Ra, the violent crimes team’s formidable new leader. With her no-nonsense approach and Isoo’s unpredictable methods, their partnership is set to become one of the season’s biggest sparks.

Behind the scenes, Kim Bada, who wrote Season 1, returns as writer, while Kim Jaehong, also from the first season, is back in the director’s chair. With the original creative team returning, fans can expect the same exciting mix of crime, comedy, character clashes, and stylish investigation work that made the first season a standout.

More Korean Crime Thrills Await on Disney+

Flex X Cop Season 2 is the latest Korean title heading to Disney+, joining a growing library of gripping crime, action, and thriller series.

Viewers can catch up on Flex X Cop Season 1 before the new season arrives, or explore other must-watch Korean titles on the platform, including Made In Korea, which follows a KCIA agent living a double life as an international smuggler; Vigilante, about a police academy student seeking revenge on criminals who escape justice; and The Worst of Evil, which follows an undercover police officer working to bring down an international drug operation.

Packed with personality, thrilling cases, and a partnership that is guaranteed to test everyone’s patience, Flex X Cop Season 2 is ready to bring more clever chaos to screens this August.

Stream Flex X Cop Season 2 from August 7 on Disney+.

A Giant Monster Has Taken Over Manila as “Minions & Monsters” Arrives in Philippine Cinemas

Something Monstrous Has Landed in Metro Manila

There is something strange, silly, and impossible to miss in the Ortigas skyline.

To celebrate the Philippine cinema release of “Minions & Monsters,” the Minions have seemingly brought one of their newest friends to Metro Manila. His name is Howard, and he is not exactly the subtle type.

Now sitting high above SM Megamall, Howard can be seen by people in nearby buildings, commuters passing through EDSA, and movie fans exploring the Ortigas area. Beside him is one unlucky Minion, caught in yet another bit of Minion-style trouble.

Big, bizarre, and wonderfully fun, the installation is set to stay on top of SM Megamall for the entire month of July, giving fans plenty of time to snap a photo before catching the movie in cinemas.

Who Is Howard?

Howard is one of the new characters introduced in “Minions & Monsters.” With a look that resembles a curious mix of starfish and octopus, this unusual creature adds a fresh dose of monster madness to Illumination’s joyful animated universe.

In the film, the Minions discover Howard frozen. However, there is one major problem: warnings from people in the past clearly say that he, along with his friend Phillips, should not be released.

Of course, when the Minions are involved, even the clearest warning signs can lead to hilarious disaster.

Howard is voiced by comedian Bobby Moynihan, known for his run on “Saturday Night Live” and voice work in “Inside Out,” “We Bare Bears,” and “The Secret Life of Pets.”

Catch the Giant Howard Display at SM Megamall

Fans can spot Howard and the Minion installation on top of SM Megamall throughout July. Visible from different points around Ortigas and from passing vehicles along EDSA, the display offers a fun photo moment for families, commuters, and fans of the Minions franchise.

Whether you are heading to the mall, passing through the city, or planning a movie day, Howard’s Manila takeover is one cheerful sight worth looking up for.

‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Brings Peter Parker and Bruce Banner Together in PH Cinemas July 29

A New Chapter Begins for Peter Parker

Peter Parker is stepping into unfamiliar territory in “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.”

With the world no longer remembering who he is, Peter now fights crime full-time as Spider-Man while carrying the quiet burden of watching his old friends continue their lives without him. It is a lonely and difficult path, one that soon triggers a change he may not be strong enough to handle alone.

For Tom Holland, who returns as Peter Parker and Spider-Man, the film marks a major turning point for the beloved hero.

The actor describes the story as “a fresh start,” with Peter going through something “profound and unique in the super hero genre.”

“a fresh start, where Peter Parker is experiencing something profound and unique in the super hero genre. It’s a movie about when young people find their identity and become adults. Peter is embarking upon a new chapter.”

Peter Parker Faces a Mysterious Transformation

Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” explores a Peter Parker who is changing from the inside out. His emotional struggle, already heavy enough, begins to connect with a startling physical transformation.

“A huge part of the story is watching Peter undergo an emotional and physical transformation,” says the filmmaker. “The two are linked.”

Trying to understand what is happening to him, Peter looks for help from someone with deep scientific knowledge and a unique connection to the extraordinary.

Enter Dr. Bruce Banner.

Now a distinguished scientist and professor, Banner could be the one person capable of helping Peter make sense of his condition. However, there is one painful catch: like everyone else, Banner has no memory of Peter Parker.

The Science Bros Meet

Peter seeking out Bruce Banner brings together two of the Marvel universe’s brightest minds. As Mark Ruffalo, who returns as Banner, puts it, “Banner and Peter really hit it off as science bros.”

Of course, in true Marvel fashion, things do not stay simple for long.

Their meeting soon leads to an explosive encounter between Spider-Man and Banner’s monstrous alter ego, Savage Hulk. This marks a shift away from the Smart Hulk version seen in “Avengers: Endgame,” bringing back a more primal, towering, and unpredictable Hulk that fans know from the comics and earlier MCU films.

Savage Hulk Returns

For Cretton, bringing Spider-Man and Hulk together was a major creative opportunity.

“To many, the most iconic pairing in the comics is Spider-Man and The Hulk. When we brought back Mark Ruffalo, we gave careful consideration as to what iterations of the character we would see and how to put these two icons together, and what – or who – would cause Bruce to become savage again.”

Ruffalo, who previously made a brief but memorable appearance in Cretton’s “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” was excited to reunite with the filmmaker and bring Banner back into the spotlight.

“I think the fans will love the idea of Hulk and Spider-Man finally meeting up in the cinematic universe. Their pairings in the comics are iconic and legendary.”

A Marvel Moment Fans Have Been Waiting For

According to producer Kevin Feige, the long-awaited big-screen pairing of Spider-Man and Hulk was a thrilling idea for the team behind the film.

“It was something that really excited all of us, especially that he’s again played by the great Mark Ruffalo, who’s brought out so many unforgettable facets of the character.”

With Peter Parker searching for answers, Bruce Banner facing a dangerous side of himself once more, and Savage Hulk returning to the screen, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” promises an action-packed and emotional Marvel adventure.

Swinging Into Cinemas This July

Also starring Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Sadie Sink, Tramell Tillman, and Michael Mando, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” opens in Philippine cinemas on July 29. Distributed locally by Columbia Pictures PH.

Illumination’s “Not Alone” Trailer Reveals Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez in Cosmic Animated Adventure

A Cosmic New Adventure From Illumination

Illumination is heading for the stars with its entirely original animated film, “Not Alone,” coming to Philippine cinemas in April 2027.

The newly released teaser trailer gives audiences a charming first look at a world where science, romance, and a trio of chaotic aliens collide. Starring Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez, the film follows two gifted astroscientists whose groundbreaking rocket project takes an unexpected turn when extraterrestrial visitors crash into their lives.

Watch the teaser trailer here:

Meet Joe, Fran, and Three Unruly Aliens

In his first-ever feature-length animated film, four-time Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe and Actor Award winner Timothée Chalamet voices Joe, an introverted rocket mecha who finds himself at the center of an interplanetary mishap.

Joining him is Actor Award winner, Emmy nominee, and Grammy nominee Selena Gomez as Fran, a brilliant astro-botanist developing the world’s first-ever plant-fueled rocket. When Joe and Fran are brought together to prepare for the rocket’s historic launch, sparks begin to fly. Unfortunately, neither of them is especially skilled when it comes to romance.

Then, life gets even stranger.

Three tiny, unruly, and adorable aliens named Dunk, Welly, and Shirm take refuge in Joe’s home after fleeing across the galaxy. Chased by a zealous but hilariously inept officer of the law named Zandro, the aliens soon realize that Fran’s revolutionary rocket might be their ticket back home.

A Star-Powered Voice Cast

The film’s supporting voice cast also features Oscar winner Allison Janney and Emmy winner Lamorne Morris, adding even more talent to Illumination’s newest animated universe.

A Fresh Original Film From the Studio Behind Global Favorites

With “Not Alone,” the studio invites audiences into a brand-new story filled with cosmic chaos, big feelings, and lovable misfits from beyond the stars.

The film is directed by Eric Guillon, co-director of Despicable Me 3 and the acclaimed designer behind Despicable Meand Minions. Guillon’s Illumination career also includes design work on The Secret Life of Pets and Sing films.

He directs alongside Claire Dodgson, editor of The Lorax, Minions, Despicable Me 3, and Minions: The Rise of Gru, and Jonathan Del Val, co-director of Minions: The Rise of Gru and The Secret Life of Pets 2.

First Contact Begins in 2027

“Not Alone” orbits into Philippine cinemas in April 2027.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson Becomes a Monster in Robert Eggers’ “Werwulf,” Coming Soon to PH Cinemas

A chilling new terror is ready to stalk the big screen.

Robert Eggers, the filmmaker behind Nosferatu and The Witch, returns with Werwulf, a gothic horror film that teases one of his most brutal and unsettling visions yet. Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp, and Willem Dafoe, the film brings audiences into a world where devotion twists into damnation, and the darkest threat may be the monster waiting within.

Watch the trailer for Werewulf here:

The trailer for Werewulf offers a haunting first look at Eggers’ latest nightmare. Gloomy landscapes, ominous whispers, and a growing sense of dread set the stage for a story that feels ancient, savage, and deeply personal. At the center of it all is Taylor-Johnson, whose terrifying transformation hints at a performance rooted in fear, fury, and feral instinct.

Robert Eggers Brings Back Primal Fear

Eggers has built a reputation for horror that feels immersive, textured, and unnervingly real. With The Witch, he explored paranoia and faith in a remote Puritan world. With Nosferatu, he returned to one of cinema’s most iconic nightmares. Now, with Werwulf, he turns to a creature of folklore that has long represented the battle between humanity and the beast inside.

Focus Features presents Werwulf as a harrowing tale of devotion, damnation, and the devil within. Based on the trailer, the film appears to carry the hallmarks of Eggers’ work: rich atmosphere, period detail, psychological tension, and a sense of evil that slowly tightens its grip.

A Terrifying Transformation Led by Aaron Taylor-Johnson

Aaron Taylor-Johnson leads the cast in what looks to be a physically intense and emotionally charged role. His presence in the trailer suggests a character caught between love, fear, and something far more monstrous. As the horror builds, so does the question at the heart of the film: what remains of a man when the beast takes over?

Joining him are Lily-Rose Depp and Willem Dafoe, two performers whose talents fit perfectly into Eggers’ shadowy cinematic world. Depp brings an eerie elegance to the film’s gothic mood, while Dafoe, a frequent presence in daring and atmospheric cinema, adds weight and menace to the story.

Together, the cast helps shape Werwulf into a horror experience that looks both intimate and terrifying.

A Gothic Nightmare Coming Soon to PH Cinemas

With its bleak imagery, unsettling tone, and ferocious central mystery, Werwulf is shaping up to be a must-watch for fans of elevated horror, creature features, and folklore-inspired nightmares. Eggers’ approach suggests more than a simple monster movie. It is a descent into obsession, fear, and the terrifying possibility that evil is not always outside the door. Sometimes, it is already inside.

Werwulf unleashes horror soon in Philippine cinemas.

About “Werewulf”

Witness Robert Eggers’ most visceral and haunting experience yet. Focus Features presents Werwulf, a harrowing tale of devotion, damnation, and the devil within.
