Chadwick Boseman’s portrayal of T’Challa aka Black Panther was a highlight of Captain America: Civil War. It was a great introduction for the character’s previously announced solo film. Now Marvel has seen fit to start shoveling some coal on the Black Panther hype train by dropping a surprise poster and teaser trailer this weekend. I got a chance to check out the trailer, then I checked it out again, then one more time for good measure...then about 17 more times. So what did I think about it?
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).
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!
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.
Well...Trailer-Palooza 2015 continues. Over the past month we've gotten new trailers for Captain America: Civil War, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, X-Men: Apocalypse, Independence Day: Resurgence, and now Star Trek Beyond has joined them. We had originally been told that the trailer would premiere before Star Wars: The Force Awakens, when it releases later this week, but who can wait a few days?
Tonight during Jimmy Kimmel Live, Chris Evans and Robert Downey, Jr. talked about the latest installment into the MCU, Captain America: Civil War. Kimmel made his jokes, and was generally entertaining, but he was teasing all day that we'd get a Civil War surprise tonight...and he did not disappoint.
In the world of Twitter and YouTube and the internets in general, there's so many ways to advertise and promote projects. We've seen a lot of online viral marketing the past, the coolest in my opinion was the promotion for Cloverfield that turned into a puzzle game spanning the world wide webs. Now Marvel is jumping into the fray with this promo video for a news show...
