“I am the Philippines.”🇵🇭
When his fight for Philippine independence from the United States is put to the test, Manuel L. Quezon finds himself playing the brutal game of politics to outmaneuver his rivals—including Leonard Wood, Sergio Osmeña, and Joven Hernando. In his relentless quest for power, he eventually faces off with Emilio Aguinaldo in the 1935 Philippine presidential elections, using charm and favoritism as both weapons and currency, in a campaign that ultimately changes the face of Philippine politics and history.
The film is set “Set during the rise of the Republic, QUEZON is the untold story of the man who dared to declare himself the nation — and the power struggle that changed history.”
Starring Jericho Rosales as Manuel L. Quezon, the film is the much-awaited conclusion to TBA Studios’ cinematic “Bayaniverse” trilogy, a series of films based on Philippine history. The “Bayaniverse” includes 2015’s “Heneral Luna,” the Philippines’ highest grossing historical movie of all time; and 2018’s critically acclaimed “Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral.”
The trailer features key scenes and highlights from the film. Directed by Jerrold Tarog, “Quezon” is a historical drama that focuses on Manuel L. Quezon years after the Philippine Revolution during the American occupation.
“Quezon” will be in premiere in Philippine theaters this October 15th and will be released internationally at a later date.
Ryan Reynolds has been teasing the Avengers logo with an Anarchist symbol painted over it for some time now. Before it appeared during the production of the Deadpool & Wolverine film, and an anarchist Avengers cap also surfaced.
But this time, Reynolds just posted this image on his Instagram account: it’s the Avengers logo that’s been spray-painted with a red, anarchist-style ‘A’ symbol (see below). The timing of this IG post is suspicious, since the Avengers: Doomsday is currently in production and may already be in the half-way mark.
Whatever this means is anyone’s guess. Even though Reynolds was not included in the announced cast, it’s not a far-fetched idea that he will be in the film, perhaps in the later half of the production.
In the end, the Anarchy-Avengers may just be a marketing ploy until Marvel officially announces that Deadpool/Ryan Reynolds is included in an upcoming Avengers film.
