"The hero of our story is not a princess, she's a warrior. All men of all ages, we should empower and support and champion all women. That's what real masculinity looks like," said Johnson.

We also got a look at "The Dog Stars," in theaters August 28. It's Ridley Scott's latest movie and stars Jacob Elordi, Margaret Qualley and Josh Brolin. More on that film HERE.

Hailee Steinfeld and Rashida Jones were announced as the stars of Disney's "Hexed" and Queen Latifah, Denis Leary and Ray Romano will be back for "Ice Age: Boiling Point."

Marvel also announced the launch of Infinity Vision, which is a new premium large format certification for movie theaters.

"Disney's standards for production quality are second to none, with every single detail of a film finely tuned for an immersive experience," said Andrew Cripps, Head of Theatrical Distribution for The Walt Disney Studios in a statement. "Infinity Vision certification extends that commitment to the theaters themselves, representing a shared effort between The Walt Disney Studios and the exhibition community to help audiences quickly find the very best screens in their area to experience our films in exactly the way they're designed to be seen - on a huge screen with the sharpest, clearest color and sound."

Infinity Vision will begin with the re-release of "Avengers: Endgame" September 25.
