I just got out of seeing "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" and I have things to tell you. I overall enjoyed the film, but I did have some small issues. Nothing that really ruined the film, but just felt off or out of place.
We've been waiting for this news since we heard that Cable would be debuting in the sequel to the super successful Deadpool film. Names were bandied about for months up on months. Brad Pitt, Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe, Kyle Chandler, and many more were up for the role. Today we've discovered that Josh Brolin will portray Nathan Summers aka Cable in Deadpool 2!
It's the moment we've all been waiting for since Peter Parker/ Spider-Man reappeared on our screens in "Captain America: Civil War": a look at the wall-crawlers newest solo film, the first one put out by Marvel Studios since their deal with Sony Pictures almost two years ago. And, man, did this trailer deliver.
Although "Captain America: Civil War" was the beginning of Marvel's third phase, the introduction of the Sorcerer Supreme is the REAL beginning. Being that this was the first story of a new character since Ant-Man back in 2015 (I'm not including Black Panther and Spider-Man because those were cameos), it really needed to push the boundaries to keep us intrigued. I know it got a lot of hype overseas and I did a pretty god job staying away from early reviews so that I wouldn't be spoiled, at least up until 2 hours before seeing it...thanks internet. This movie is the quintessential setup of the new line up of heroes which include Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and to a certain extent, Wasp. Would this movie live up to the hype of the rest of the franchise? Overall, there has yet to be a genuine flop, but over the last couple of years, I personally kept waiting for that shoe to drop, mainly when they first announced "Guardians of the Galaxy" and then later on with the announcement of "Ant-Man". I had the pleasure of not only seeing it on opening night, BUT was also able to see in the Regal's 4DX theater.
The upcoming season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. already promises to be something different, which is a good thing. The last two seasons have been heavy with Inhumans and to me, it's been a bit boring. Season 4 will see the debut of Ghost Rider to the extended MCU in the form of Robbie Reyes played by Gabriel Luna. The Official AoS Twitter posted a new trailer that shows a lot more of Ghost Rider in action with the Agents. Check it out below:
Saturday is always a monster day for Geek news coming out of SDCC. Hall H is the place to be for breaking news about upcoming movies, casting news, and brand new trailers. We already saw what WB and DC unveiled, not to be outdone, Marvel stepped up and knocked it out of the park again (can't get enough baseball cliches).
Jimmy Kimmel's streak of getting the best in breaking geek related trailers continues. Tonight, during his Marvel Week, with Benedict Cumberbatch as his guest, he debuted the first official teaser for the upcoming entry into Marvel's Phase Three, Doctor Strange.
As we have seen, Netflix & Marvel have been doing a pretty good job with making darker, more serious series that are within the same universe as the films. With the success of 2 seasons of Daredevil and a season of Jessica Jones, it's no wonder they want to expand with adding Iron Fist and Luke Cage. If they can continue with these, they will need to expand on some other lesser known heroes and villains. I've decided that I would take a crack at 5 characters I think would make a good Netflix series. Of course, I am excluding The Punisher from this list mainly because it seems to possibly be in the works and really, who wouldn't want to watch that?!
Before I begin, I need to say the following.... THIS WILL HAVE SPOILERS!! DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!!
OK, you ready? I'm not going to go into details about each and every episode, but I will be going into some of the main story-lines and some key points.
Deep in the darkness of late Thursday night/Friday morning, Netflix released the much anticipated follow up season to Daredevil. It also surprised Netflix subscribers with a first look at the upcoming series, Luke Cage.
Today is the day! We were promised a new trailer for Captain America: Civil War and we got it! It had everything! We got more of a perspective from Tony's side of the feud this time around and we saw just how War Machine ends up being beaten up pretty badly and cradled unconsciously by Iron Man. We were treated to much more Black Panther action and we also saw a VERY awesome sequence in which Ant-Man shrinks down and flies on one of Hawkeye's arrows. So fantastic! Oh...and Spider-Man finally debuted. Check it out!
Last week we got our very first full look at what's to come for the second season of Daredevil. Today, we got part two of that trailer and this one features more Elektra!
Going into the theater to see the Merc With a Mouth's first live action solo feature film, I had few expectations. I'm a fan of Ryan Reynolds' comedy work. I knew that this film would be much more adult than all the previous comic book films we've seen in the past. I knew we'd be getting a closer adaptation of Deadpool from the comics than we got in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. My concern was...does it need to be rated R for Deadpool to work?
It's that time of year. While two teams decide which one is the best in the NFL during this year's Super Bowl, the nation watches and waits...for commercials. In the year of dozens of Geek related films, we all waited to see what new trailers we'd get for those films. First up was Marvel and their new teaser for Captain America: Civil War.
