2026 is shaping up to be a big year for Henry Cavill, who officially returns to the big screen this week with his latest action movie, In The Grey. The film co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Eiza González, and Rosamund Pike, and is directed by tenured action director Guy Ritchie. Ritchie and Cavill first worked together 11 years ago on The Man From U.N.C.L.E., and they reunited a few years ago for the WWII action thriller, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Cavill is also working hard right now filming his long-awaited Highlander remake, which entered production earlier this year at the helm of director Chad Stahelski (director of all four John Wick movies). Cavill has also been recruited to star in another remake that just got the update fans have been fearing for a while now.

Cavill has been tapped to lead a live-action Voltron movie that’s been in the works at Amazon for a while now, along with Paradise and This Is Us star Sterling K. Brown. Voltron wrapped filming last summer, but it didn’t take long after the exciting announcement for apprehension to set in when rumors surfaced that the film was going to forego a theatrical release and premiere straight-to-streaming on Prime Video. These rumors were confirmed yesterday evening, when Prime Video officially announced that Voltron will be a straight-to-streaming release, and it will not play in any theaters. This is especially disappointing to fans who were hoping to see another big-budget space sci-fi epic in theaters, similar in visual scope to Project Hail Mary. The live-action Voltron movie was written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber.

Collider · Quiz
Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you'd actually make it out of alive.
💊The Matrix
🔥Mad Max
🌧️Blade Runner
🏜️Dune
🚀Star Wars
QUESTION 1 / 8INSTINCT
01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.
QUESTION 2 / 8RESOURCE
02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
QUESTION 3 / 8THREAT
03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you're honest about what you're actually afraid of.
QUESTION 4 / 8AUTHORITY
04
How do you deal with authority you don't trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.
QUESTION 5 / 8ENVIRONMENT
05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn't just tactical — it's physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.
QUESTION 6 / 8ALLIANCE
06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.
QUESTION 7 / 8MORALITY
07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they're actually made of.
QUESTION 8 / 8PURPOSE
08
What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.
Your Fate Has Been Calculated You'd Survive In…

Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.

The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix

You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You're a systems thinker who can't help but notice the seams in things.

  • You're drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
  • You'd find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines' worst nightmare.
  • You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
  • The Matrix built an airtight prison. You'd be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max

The wasteland doesn't reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That's you.

  • You don't need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
  • You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you're good at all three.
  • You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
  • In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner

You'd survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.

  • You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
  • In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
  • You're not a hero. But you're not lost, either.
  • In Blade Runner's world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune

Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.

  • Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they're survival tools.
  • You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
  • Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You'd learn its logic and earn its respect.
  • In time, you wouldn't just survive Arrakis — you'd begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars

The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn't have it any other way.

  • You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
  • You'd gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire's grip can be broken.
  • You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn't something you're capable of.
  • In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.

What Else is Streaming on Prime Video Right Now?

Paving the way for Voltron to fly to the top of Prime Video streaming charts right now is Crime 101, the modern spin on Heat starring Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo. The film had something of an underwhelming run in theaters, but it has since found redemption on the second-biggest streaming service in the world. Globally, Prime Video has also found streaming hits in Ballerina and Greenland 2: Migration. The former is a John Wick spin-off film starring Ana de Armas, and the latter is a sci-fi bomb headlined by modern action star Gerard Butler.

Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the live-action Voltron movie, which is coming to Prime Video later this year.
