"I don't possess many talents, but I know better than to get in the way of a good story."

With those words, Brad Pitt returned as Cliff Booth, his Tinseltown stuntman from Quentin Tarantino's *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood* — this time in the David Fincher-directed sequel film for Netflix, titled *The Adventures of Cliff Booth*. (Tarantino wrote the script.)

The follow-up dropped a surprise first-look trailer during Super Bowl 2026 on Sunday, revealing Pitt opposite Elizabeth Debicki (*The Crown*, *MaXXXine*).

Debicki's character brings up the events of the first movie, wherein Cliff and Leonardo DiCaprio's Rick Dalton — the Hollywood actor Cliff doubled for on screen — tangoed with the Manson Family. She presses for more details, but as Cliff's playful response indicates, that story will be saved for the movie's release.

Also spotted in the trailer — which isn't currently available to watch online in an official capacity, though copies continue to spread on social media — are Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Scott Caan, JB Tadena, and other costars.

The footage, which served more like a sizzle, featured a blitz of gunfire, chain-smoking, Cliff pulling off vehicular stunts, and a lots of censored material blurred by animation.

The Cliff role won Pitt his second Academy Award but first in an acting category at the 2020 Oscars ceremony.

"I just wrapped on Fincher's *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood* sequel, which was just such a dream to make," Debicki recently told PEOPLE at the Sundance Film Festival in January. "I absolutely loved it... We shot it for nearly six months in L.A., and I just adored, adored working with David, just love him to pieces. And I loved working with Brad. In his absolutely iconic role, yeah, it was a joy."

It's time to go nuts for Dunkin' and Ben Affleck at Super Bowl 2026.

After giving us the viral goods these past few years at the NFL's Big Game, the coffee and donut company turned their ad time into a team-up of 1980s and '90s sitcom all-stars for a reimagining of Affleck's 1997 film *Good Will Hunting*.

Affleck appeared in and co-wrote the Oscar-winning screenplay for the original Gus Van Sant-directed movie with his buddy Matt Damon, who starred opposite the late Robin Williams. Affleck now takes over Damon's role of Will Hunting, a mathematics prodigy with a difficult life — only now it's set in a Dunkin' and takes on a sitcom feel.

An early teaser that dropped during the Grammys last week revealed *Friends* stars Jennifer Aniston and Matt LeBlanc, as well as *Seinfeld* alum Jason Alexander. But that was just the tip of the nostalgic iceberg as the commercial revealed actors from the beloved era of TV comedies.

Guy Fieri's wild transformation for Super Bowl ad started out as a dare

Donald Trump will skip Super Bowl to avoid being booed, Seth Meyers says on 'Late Night'

And if they all look as young as they appeared on TV decades ago, it's because they were digitally de-aged.

"Before the movie, a much better version of *Good Will Hunting* was made as a sitcom with a *real* genius in the lead — and some other actors," the narrator prefaces of *Good Will Dunkin'*.

Jason Alexander (Seinfeld)

Jason Alexander in Dunkin' Donuts Super Bowl 2026 ad.

"Hey, Will! Did you arrange the Munchkins in the Fibonacci sequence?" Alexander, who famously played George Costanza on the nine-season-long *Seinfeld*, exclaims in the ad. "I got a genius workin' for me!"

The bit spoofs the premise of *Good Will Hunting*, which sees Damon's titular Will Hunting, a janitor at MIT, discovered by faculty for solving a complex math problem.

"Being on set with Dunkin' didn't just feel like the '90s, it actually reminded me of the original sitcoms I grew up with," Alexander tells ** in a statement. "There's such a love for nostalgia right now, and Dunkin' is one of those everyday places that been part of people's lives for so long, it naturally brings that feeling to it."

Matt LeBlanc (Friends)

Matt LeBlanc in Dunkin' Donuts Super Bowl 2026 ad.

LeBlanc, funny enough, plays the Affleck-esque role as one of Will Hunting's friends, who riffs on his "genius" status. The commercial later offers a nod to the *Friends* star's memorable "How you doin'?" line as Joey Tribbiani from that sitcom when Affleck goes to hit on...

Jasmine Guy (A Different World)

Jasmine Guy in Dunkin' Donuts Super Bowl 2026 ad.

Jasmine Guy, known for her role of Whitley Marion Gilbert on *A Different World*, the *Cosby Show* spinoff, plays a woman who declares she'll marry the first man who can help her with the Fibonacci sequence.

Alfonso Ribeiro (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air)

Alfonso Ribeiro in Dunkin' Donuts Super Bowl 2026 ad.

Alfonso Ribeiro, a.k.a. Carlton Banks (the man behind "the Carlton") from *The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air*, plays one of Affleck's buddies trying to win over Guy. He whips out a photo of Will's girlfriend, played by Aniston, to remind him of his relationship.

"We're on a break!" Affleck's Will retorts as a wink to David Schwimmer's line as Ross Geller to Aniston's Rachel Green on *Friends*.

Ted Danson (Cheers)

Ted Danson in Dunkin' Donuts Super Bowl 2026 ad.

A visibly de-aged Ted Danson, who played bar owner Sam Malone on *Cheers* for 11 seasons, emerges from behind the Dunkin' Donuts cash register to share some sound advice. "Hey, kid. If you're still single, doing this Boston schtick, and workin' for Dunkin' when you're 50, I'm gonna be very disappointed," he says.

The dialogue reimagines Affleck's own tough-love speech from *Good Will Hunting*. However, as it happens, Affleck's relationship with Jennifer Lopez recently ended, so he is, as Danson says, single at 53 and working for Dunkin'.

Jaleel White (Family Matters)

Mr. "Did I Do That?" Steve Urkel himself, Jaleel White of *Family Matters*, is also present to direct Affleck's attention towards the window, where his girlfriend is there to deliver a snappy response.

Jennifer Aniston (Friends)

Jennifer Aniston and Tom Brady in Dunkin' Donuts Super Bowl 2026.

"You like donuts?" Aniston asks from the Dunkin' shop's window. "Well this is my new boyfriend. How yah like these nuts?" Of course, the ad offers the sitcom spoof here of Damon's Will giving the "How yah like them apples?" from *Good Will Hunting*.

Former football pro Tom Brady makes a brief appearance as Aniston's new beau. Brady has been involved in the past two Super Bowl commercials for Dunkin', which involved the DunKings music group concept.

***Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our EW Dispatch newsletter.***

Dunkin' has been teasing the Big Game ad for some time. During an interview with journalist Kevin McCarthy back in January, McCarthy seemingly uncovered an IMDb page for *Good Will Hunting: The Sitcom*. Then followed a couple Grammy Awards teasers involving a mysterious VHS tape, and a '90s pop-up at MIT.

The company also signaled that L Street Tavern, the famous bar from *Good Will Hunting*, would serve as the site of Dunkin's Super Bowl Watch Party.

'Minions & Monsters'. Credit:

Universal Pictures

- *Minions & Monsters* finds the Minions in search of monsters to cast in a Hollywood movie.

- It's the third *Minions* prequel and the seventh film in the *Despicable Me* franchise.

- The release date is currently set for July 1, 2026.

Gentleminions, assemble!

Since premiering in 2010, *Despicable Me* has ballooned into one of the most reliable modern franchises in Hollywood, spawning six follow-up films, numerous shorts and video games, and even a ride at Universal Studios. It's showing no signs of slowing, either — the last entry, 2024's *Despicable Me 4*, raked in nearly $1 billion at the worldwide box office.

"I think that the world of the characters lends itself to multiple stories because they're human, they're very relatable," said *Despicable Me 4* director Chris Renaud in a chat with **. "I think if you have animals or mystical creatures, it can be a bit more limiting because there's only a certain amount of things you can really dive into. And certain things, whether it's really breaking the format and saying, 'Hey, we're going to be 50 years in the future,' there's definitely still opportunities."

Read on for everything we know about *Minions & Monsters*, from its occult-inspired story to its release date.**

What is Minions & Monsters about?

'Minions & Monsters'.

Universal Pictures

*Minions & Monsters*, the third prequel in the *Despicable Me* franchise, is described as the "rambunctious, ridiculous, and totally true story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, lost everything, unleashed monsters onto the world and then banded together to try and save the planet from the mayhem they had just created."

'Minions' will be at 2026 Winter Olympics after all, thanks to Pharrell Williams (and more)

Here's who played the Minion in 'SNL' sketch with Michael Keaton

The film is directed by Pierre Coffin, who in addition to being the primary voice of the Minions, previously co-directed four entries in the series. Brian Lynch, another franchise veteran, wrote the script.**

Is there a Minions & Monsters trailer?

The first trailer arrived during Super Bowl LX, and the clip delivers exactly what its title promises: Minions and monsters.

The story begins with the Minions infiltrating Hollywood and pitching their own monster movie. The problem? They'll need a truly impressive monster to get it made. They attempt to conjure a Cthulhu-like creature from the underworld, but end up with a cute, green guy who's not quite what they were looking for.

Thankfully, their new friend knows plenty of other fearsome (and photogenic) creatures, leading the Minions on a monster-collecting odyssey filled with octopus-like beasts, eyeball-filled blobs, gaseous bunny rabbits, and even a mummy.

"Hollywood has a monster problem," teases the film's tagline.**

Is there a Minions & Monsters release date?

'Minions & Monsters'.

Universal Pictures

*Minions & Monsters* will waddle into theaters on July 1.

Romance is hard to come by in person these days. Our group chats are full of dispatches from our single friends on the front lines of war (a.k.a. awkward first dates), with matches who won't text back or weirdos who'll at least make for great stories later. The ladies yearn for chalance or for someone to match their freak. And why not? Everyone deserves a little romance—but sometimes it's easier to find onscreen than in real life. That's where romance movies come in.

Hollywood loves a good love story, whether it's a tear-jerking Old Hollywood melodrama or a heartwarming '90s rom-com. These are the kind of films that inspire and transport us—and sometimes even distract us when that one person leaves us on read. Whether or not you're searching for your Mr. Darcy, the titles in the list below are all great picks for your next movie night. Whether you invite a date over to watch it is your call.

With contributions from Claire Stern Milch, Madison Feller, and Juliana Ukiomogbe.

James Van Der Beek secured a down payment for his family's ranch in Austin, Texas, prior to his death

He did it "with the help of friends through a trust so they could shift from rent to mortgage," his rep told PEOPLE

The actor died at age 48 on Feb. 11 following a journey with stage 3 colorectal cancer

Prior to his death, James Van Der Beek secured a down payment for the Texas ranch that he and his family had previously been renting.

His representative tells PEOPLE that before the actor died at age 48 on Feb. 11 following a journey with stage 3 colorectal cancer, the Dawson's Creek alum secured a down payment on the Austin ranch where he had been residing with his wife, Kimberly Van Der Beek, and their six children.

"James secured down payment for the Texas ranch for the family with the help of friends through a trust so they could shift from rent to mortgage," the rep tells PEOPLE.

In 2020, James and Kimberly permanently left Beverly Hills, Calif., and relocated to Austin with their kids: daughters Olivia, 15, Annabel, 12, Emilia, 9, and Gwendolyn, 7, and sons Joshua, 13, and Jeremiah, 4, the latter of whom was not yet born.

Speaking to PEOPLE in November 2022, the late actor said that living in Texas has been a "centering" experience for him and his family. And "for the kids," he said, "it's been grounding, and a different kind of education that we never could have offered them in a classroom."

Since moving, he explained at the time, the family was able to slow down and connect more with both nature and each other. His kids "jump around," he said. "They sing, 'rain, rain come today,' and they run out in it, because we need it."

"It's just connected us, not just to nature, but to the natural life cycles all around us," added the father of six.

In the wake of James' death on Feb. 11, friends of the Van Der Beek family organized a GoFundMe page to collect donations after James' medical care left the family "out of funds."

The fundraiser, which states it will "help cover essential living expenses, pay bills, and support the children's education," received over $2.2 million in the first 48 hours.

"In the wake of this loss, Kimberly and the children are facing an uncertain future," the GoFundMe description reads. "The costs of James's medical care and the extended fight against cancer have left the family out of funds. They are working hard to stay in their home and to ensure the children can continue their education and maintain some stability during this incredibly difficult time. The support of friends, family, and the wider community will make a world of difference as they navigate the road ahead."

The day after the fundraiser went live, the organizers thanked donors "from the bottom of our hearts for showing up for James and his beautiful family" in an update.

"Your kindness has meant more than we can put into words. In the middle of deep grief, your support has been a light. It reminds us that love is real, that community is strong, and that James's spirit continues to bring people together," read the statement posted on the fundraising page.

The statement continued, "Right now, the family is taking time to mourn and be with one another. We kindly ask members of the media and the public to give them space and privacy as they walk through this painful season. Your respect and understanding will give them the room they need to heal."

In the Feb. 12 update, organizers also asked fans to "continue to keep James's wife and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers" and thanked them for honoring the actor's life "with compassion, generosity, and love."

Mary-Margaret Humes, the actress who played James Van Der Beek's loving mother on the '90s teen drama* Dawson's Creek*, is mourning the death of her TV son.

In a heartfelt statement posted to social media Wednesday, she wrote, "Rarely am I at a loss for words … today would be the exception."

Sharing two photos of them together — one from the *Dawson's* days and one more recent — Humes added, "James, my gracious warrior, you fought a hard battle against all odds with such quiet strength and dignity. I will always love and admire you for that.  Our last conversations … merely a few days ago … are forever sitting softly in my heart for safe keeping. To our extended *Dawson's Creek* family of friends … please be respectful of our silences at the moment as Beautiful Kimberly [Van Der Beek's wife] and family have asked for peaceful privacy for now."

Van Der Beek, who portrayed the Steven Spielberg-obsessed title character on all six seasons of *Dawson's Creek*, died Wednesday at 48, after battling colorectal cancer. He disclosed in November 2024 that he had been diagnosed with the disease the previous year.

The stars of *Dawson's Creek*, which aired from 1998 to 2003, were famously close. The cast included Katie Holmes as girl-next-door-turned-crush Joey Potter; Michelle Williams as New York wild child Jen Lindley; and Joshua Jackson as best friend and eventual romantic rival Pacey Whitter. Humes and John Wesley Shipp portrayed Dawson's parents, Gale and Mitch Leery.**

Actress Busy Philipps, who played pal Audrey Liddell beginning in the fifth season, shared her own condolences on social media, writing, "My heart is deeply hurting for all of us today…every person who knew James and loved him, anyone who loved his work or had the pleasure of meeting him, all of his dear friends and community that surrounded him as he battled this illness, especially his parents and brother and sister."**

What James Van Der Beek said about his battle with cancer before his death

In September, Williams, Holmes, Jackson, and more costars reunited for a fundraiser for the organization F Cancer.

Van Der Beek had initially planned to attend too but had to cancel because of his illness.

Still, the actor sent a video message, in which he said, "I can't believe I'm not there" and couldn't "hug my cast mates, my beautiful cast, in person."

"I wanted to stand on that stage and thank every single person in this theater for being here tonight," Van Der Beek continued. "From the cast to he crew to everybody who's donated time and been so generous. And especially every single last one of you, the best fans in the world."**

Following Van Der Beek's death, the official social media accounts for the show, along with production company Sony Pictures, paid tribute to their leading man with a photo of him as Dawson: "We are deeply saddened by the passing of James Van Der Beek. His iconic portrayal of Dawson Leery helped define a generation of television for fans and continues to resonate with audiences today. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones."**
