KPop Demon Hunters trailer released

Netflix has released the first trailer for KPOP Demon Hunters, a new animated film from Sony Pictures Animation, directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans. The movie premieres June 20 on the platform.

The story follows K-pop idols Rumi, Mira and Zoey, who moonlight as secret demon hunters. Their biggest challenge? A rival boy band of demons disguised as heartthrobs.

Blending K-pop culture with supernatural action, the film features original music from Teddy Park and TheBlackLabel team, with vocals by artists including Jeongyeon, Jihyo and Chaeyoung of TWICE.

KPOP Demon Hunters is Sony Pictures Animation’s first release since Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, continuing its strong partnership with Netflix.

Pokémon Go offers rare Jangmo-o in June

Pokémon Go fans still hunting the rare Shiny Jangmo-o have a big opportunity coming up. The pseudo-legendary dragon, introduced in 2022 and available as a Shiny since Pokémon Go Fest 2024, is notoriously elusive.

On June 21, 2025, Jangmo-o will star in a Community Day event from 2 PM to 5 PM local time. Its wild spawn rate will increase significantly, making it easier to encounter and possibly catch a Shiny. Although Shiny odds won’t be boosted, the higher spawn numbers improve your chances.

Event bonuses include special Field Research tasks, a unique Community Day background and an optional $1.99 Special Research bundle with extra encounters, a Premium Battle Pass and Rare Candy XL.

The final trailer of Elio is here!

Disney and Pixar’s upcoming animated film Elio hits theatres on June 20, 2025, promising a cosmic adventure full of heart and humour.

The story follows 11-year-old Elio (voiced by Yonas Kibreab), a space-obsessed kid who gets his wish when aliens accidentally abduct him — mistaking him for Earth’s leader. Thrust into the Communiverse, an intergalactic council, Elio must navigate bizarre alien life, a galaxy-sized crisis and his own journey of self-discovery.

Elio features a stellar voice cast including Zoe Saldaña, Brad Garrett, Jameela Jamil and Shirley Henderson.

Elio opens exclusively in theatres on June 20.
