Director Peter Berg appeared on camera saying he and Taylor Sheridan are working on the film. He said, “Taylor and I are both very attached to the special operations community,” and promised to capture the reality of their job but with a big scope. The film releases on June 30, 2028.

Next the focus shifted to Billie Eilish's concert film Hit Me Hard and Soft, which was filmed in 3D by none other than James Cameron. Cameron said the film is meant to be a theatrical experience, not a streaming one, and revealed that they developed new tools not available even on the recent Avatar movies.

Sink!”, Weapons (with a group of kids stealing Shorty's stash and running while high, Cheri Oteri's character getting The Substance, and Sinners (with an Irish band singing The Jeffersons theme song at the door).
