It's been ten years in the making and it has taken 18 films to reach the pinnacle of what will be the biggest game-changer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After only showing up briefly throughout the films (Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, & Avengers: Age of Ultron), Thanos has taken center stage with the Black Order as they reign chaos in Avengers: Infinity War. I will be giving a brief non-spoiler review, and then diving in to go over some of the best (and very spoiler-filled) moments.
Ever since they announced that the film was being pushed up a week to April 27th, we all have been asking the same question; Is there going to be a second trailer? We are a little over a month away and all we have is that one teaser trailer three months ago.
No, this is not a review. I don’t know what it is, honestly. I just can’t get the movie out of my head and I need to write about it. I have been apprehensive about Wonder Woman for many reasons. My disappointment in the previous films just...as films. The lack of consideration put into the characters of Superman and Batman (the flagship DC heroes). Not to mention the bleak world these characters have inhabited. The films have been placed in the wrong hands. And I mean hands plural because there are so many of them trying to shape these films and all with different ideas/agendas that clash far too often. So I feel justified in admitting my trepidation.
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).
Marvel Studios has always done a great job in hiring talented writers and directors for its Cinematic Universe. It seems Captain Marvel is following suit. According to The Hollywood Reporter, writers Nicole Perlman (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Meg LeFauve (Inside Out) are in talks to write the script about Carol Danvers becoming a super-powered heroine. With Captain Marvel scheduled to be Marvel's first female led film, its important that the story is done very well and sets the table for her joining the Avengers in films to come.
In a deal with Sony and Marvel Entertainment, Spider-Man is coming home...sort of. Part of this new deal allows a NEW Spider-Man to be in an upcoming Marvel Film. Sony will then release the next installment in the Spider-Man franchise on July 28, 2017 with Marvel's Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal co-producing. Marvel and Sony are also working on ways to collaborate by having other MCU characters entering Sony's Spider-verse.
Marvel Studios held an event today to announce some big and surprising things. Kevin Feige would come onto the stage and tell us a LOT of things were to come in our near future
