It’s undeniable that Dwayne Johnson’s adaptation of the 1990s TV series is full of eye candy. The trailer for “Baywatch” has scintillating clips of The Rock’s muscles, Kelly Rohrbach running in lifeguard gear, and Zac Efron tearing off his pants. Is your body ready?

‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ – June 23

The latest installment of Michael Bay’s action franchise, Transformers: The Last Knight is expected to expand upon the already established mythos and feature the latest conflict between the Autobots and the Decepticons.
