Issue one of SFX came out on 25 May 1995, which means the magazine marks its 30th anniversary this month! Time flies when you're flogging your guts out... Back then, Lori Petty’s Tank Girl was the cover star; for SFX issue 392 it’s killer AI M3GAN.

M3GAN 2.0
The deadly dancing doll is returning for sequel M3GAN 2.0 – but this time she’s on our side, Terminator 2-style, pitted against an AI created by a defence contractor. In an eight-page feature we speak to writer/director Gerard Johnstone, cast members Violet McGraw (Cady), Allison Williams (Cady’s mother Gemma) and Ivanna Sakhno (new nemesis Amelia), and the costume designer behind M3GAN’s latest fierce looks...
How to Train Your Dragon
The fourth entry in the DreamWorks franchise centred on a boy called Hiccup and the dragon he bonds with shifts the fantasy world of Berk from the animated realm for a live-action remake. We speak to returning director Dean DeBlois and actor Gabriel Howell (Snotlout).
Predator: Killer of Killers
We thought we were just getting one new Predator movie from Dan Trachtenberg (Predator: Badlands), but last month he surprised us all by announcing that a secret second film – an animated anthology – will be landing on Disney+ first. The director teases what we can expect come 6 June.
Fountain of Youth
Guy Ritchie’s latest movie is an action adventure affair for Apple TV+, in which two siblings team up to search for... well, you can probably guess. We visit the set and talk to the director, plus his stars John Krasinski, Eiza González and Domhnall Gleeson.
Andor
Have you been watching the second season of the Star Wars show Andor? It’s a bit special, isn’t it? We catch up with Genevieve O’Reilly about her experiences since returning to the role of Mon Mothma.
The Brian Clemens Archive
When The New Avengers/The Professionals creator Brian Clemens passed away in 2015 he left behind a wealth of paperwork, including hundreds of unmade ideas. In the first of a series of features, we discuss this treasure trove with Clemens’s sons Sam and George, and reproduce a never-made idea for Doctor Who!
And that’s not all, feature-wise! We also quiz the producer of Elio, the new Pixar movie about a young boy who (to his delight) is abducted by aliens, we look back over the history of Superman, and revisit 1980 chiller The Changeling in the company of director Peter Medak. Plus we talk to novelist Linwood Barclay about switching from crime to horror, and get Joe Abercrombie to answer our author questionnaire.
Red Alert
And the big features are just the tip of the iceberg! As ever, our news section, Red Alert, is crammed with insights into yet more movies, TV shows, comics and books. In the spotlight this month: MCU show Ironheart, Edgar Wright’s new version of The Running Man, the-dead-come-back TV show Revival, serial killer horror thriller Dangerous Animals, plus the latest The Umbrella Academy, X-Men, Silver Surfer, Mr Terrific, Black Panther and Pride comics.
