June’s Movie Buffet: Aliens, Rom-Coms, and Very Brave Stunt People
From Spielberg-sized spaceships to J-Lo flirting with HR policy, June is serving a weirdly delicious mix of big studio blockbusters, indie oddities, and films that make you question everyone’s life choices. Here’s a playful guide to ten movies to either rush to the cinema for or queue up on your streaming app while wearing sweatpants.
1. Masters of the Universe
Yes, He-Man is back. This new take sends a fresh actor into the tights—Nicholas Galitzine plays the muscle, Idris Elba mentors, and Jared Leto and Alison Brie handle the villainous mischief. Expect fantasy bombast, 80s nostalgia turned up to eleven, and outfits that probably prompted very polite on-set conversations about armor choices.
Release: 3–5 June (international)
2. Scary Movie 6
The parody franchise returns with familiar faces and new targets. Anna Faris and Regina Hall are back dishing out the comedic chaos while the original creators help steer the parody ship. It lampoons today’s horror hits, but also dips a toe into cultural commentary that might land differently depending on your sense of humor.
Release: 4–5 June (international)
3. Office Romance
Workplace romance alert: Jennifer Lopez plays a bigwig at an airline who falls for a corporate lawyer (played by Brett Goldstein). It’s a rom-com with the classic “don’t tell anyone or risk everything” stakes—made by the Ticket to Paradise crowd, so expect charm, awkward coffee dates, and a few witty zingers.
Release: 5 June on Netflix (international)
4. Disclosure Day
Steven Spielberg revisits one of his favorite obsessions: aliens. This time he imagines a world where extraterrestrial contact has already happened—shh, governments kept it quiet—until the truth leaks. With a heavyweight cast and Spielberg-level spectacle, it’s the kind of event movie that makes you look up at the sky and feel a little conspiratorial.
Release: 10–12 June (international)
5. Toy Story 5
The toys are back and now their biggest villain might be Wi‑Fi. Pixar’s latest asks what happens when kids prefer screens over playtime, while bringing Woody, Buzz and the gang along for one more heartfelt, slightly emotional, very plastic adventure.
Release: 17–19 June (international)
6. The Death of Robin Hood
Hugh Jackman plays a grizzled Robin Hood in a version that throws out the merry-man romcom manual and goes full midnight-murmurs-about-regret. It’s darker, more reflective, and leans into the messy side of legend—think less arrow-in-the-sunshine, more existential cottagefireside confessional.
Release: 19 June (US & Canada)
7. Maddie’s Secret
A social-media cooking star’s life looks perfect on camera, but off-screen she’s struggling. John Early directs and embodies the lead in this unexpectedly tender and campy comedy-drama about fame, eating disorders, and the ways online life warps reality. It’s funny, kind, and a little heartbreaking.
Release: 19 June (US)
8. Supergirl
In James Gunn’s DC world, Supergirl is not a carbon copy of Superman—she’s messier, darker, and delightfully complicated. Milly Alcock takes the cape, David Corenswet looms as Superman, and Jason Momoa shows up as a delightfully violent bounty hunter. Expect anti-hero vibes and a good dose of chaos.
Release: 24–26 June (international)
9. Jackass: Best and Last
The Jackass crew returns for what’s billed as their final hurrah—more stunts, more cringe, and probably at least one moment that makes you say “Why would you do that?” out loud. Johnny Knoxville and friends keep pushing the pain-versus-laughter line; consider watching with a first-aid kit nearby (just kidding… kind of).
Release: 25–26 June (international)
10. The Invite
Olivia Wilde directs this dinner-party-tilts-weird comedy where two neighbors offer to remedy a bored couple’s life with some eyebrow-raising proposals. It’s equal parts awkward, surprising, and oddly sharp about relationships—think small, tense living-room drama with big comedic teeth.
Release: 26 June (US)
Final bites
So there you have it: sci-fi epics, rom‑coms that flirt with disaster, animated pals trying to stay relevant, and stunts that will make you flinch. Pick one (or three), grab snacks, and enjoy the cinematic rollercoaster that is this June.
