Watch the first teaser trailer of Captain Marvel’s sequel – the Marvels

April 12, 2023

Marvel Studios just dropped the first teaser trailer of the Marvels, Captain Marvel’s highly anticipated sequel.

In the trailer (embedded below), we can see all three members of the Marvels; Carol Danvers/Capt. Marvel, Monica Rambeau/Photon and Kamala Kahn/Ms. Marvel. The 2 mins video also shows us that the body swapping is not just between between Capt. Marvel and Ms. Marvel but it also involves Monica Rambeau, we may see an explanation why this is happening in the film.

This is the premise of the film;

In The Marvels, Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence. But unintended consequences see Carol shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe. When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, her powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece, now S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau. Together, this unlikely trio must team up and learn to work in concert to save the universe as “The Marvels.”

It’s unclear if the film will happen before or after the events of Marvel’s Secret Invasion series.

The Marvels, we’ll see a lot of familiar faces; Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson returning as Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel) and Nick Fury, respectively. Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, we first saw her in the WandaVision Disney+ series. Then we have the Kamala Kahn’s whole family from Ms. Marvel series as well. Also in the film are Zawe Ashton as Dar-Benn, a Kree warrior and the new holder of Accuser’s hammer; and Park Seo-joon, who is reported to be playing as Carol Danvers’ alien husband, Prince Yan.

Both UFC and WWE will form a new sports entertainment company valued at about $21 billion, the companies said on Monday. Endeavor Group Holdings Inc. which owns and operates UFC, will own a 51% stake in WWE, the professional wrestling outfit operated by Vince McMahon, who will retain his role in the new company.

With UFC and WWE under one roof, there is a big possibility of a crossover where UFC fighters make an appearance on any WWE matches or a WWE Superstar participate in a UFC fight.

Watch the latest Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Trailer

April 4, 2023

Sony just release another trailer of the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and this one is a doozy.

If in the first trailer, we do not know why all those “Spider-People”, including Spider-Man 2099, are attacking Mile Morales and Gwen Stacy, and now we got the answer or at least the idea on why they’re after Miles Morales.

As explained by Miguel O’Hara a.k.a. Spider-Man 2099, Morales can never be a full-fledged Spider-man because he never experience the tragedy of choosing to save the “one person he loves versus saving the entire universe,” which everyone of the Spider-People have experienced. This is where things got interesting, since Miles Morales refuse to accept this fate as a Spider-man, this is what prompted the rest of the Spider-People to go after him.

It is still unclear who the main villain of the film and the main plot line but whatever it is, it looks like Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is going to be a great film.

Miles Morales returns for the next chapter of the Oscar®-winning Spider-Verse saga, Spider-Man™: Across the Spider-Verse. After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence. But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers and Justin K. Thompson. Screenplay by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller and David Callaham. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will be in theaters June 2, 2023.

Marvel release first movie poster of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Marvel studios just release first official movie poster of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. In a true spider-fashion, the poster features an unmasked upside-down Miles Morales and appears to be dividing “Spider-People” into two groups.

On his left are the “Spiders” who are friendly with Morales which includes Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen, Scarlet Spider and Spider-Punk; while on his right are the “Spiders” who attacked Morales as shown in the trailer released last Dec 14th, which includes Spider-Man 2099, the pregnant Jessica Drew/Spider-woman. We also see other spiders like Spider-Cop, Spider-Man Unlimited, Spider-Man India, Takuya Yamashiro (a.k.a. the Japanese Spider-Man), Spider-Woman, Peter B. Parker/Spider-Man.

It’s still unclear why the other “Spider=people” are aggressive towards Miles Morales but it appears to be related to the “multiverse” and this “new threat.”

If you missed the first trailer of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, then go and watch it here.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson, from a screenplay by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller, and David Callaham. The film cast includes Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Jake Johnson. Issa Rae, Daniel Kaluuya. Jason Schwartzman, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez. Greta Lee. Rachel Dratch, Jorma Taccone. Shea Whigham and Oscar Isaac.

December 17, 2022

After announcing that he (Henry Cavill) will return as Superman last October, Cavill again announced that he will be returning as Superman.

Here’s what he said in an Instagram post;

In a tweet, James Gunn explained why they’re changing Henry Cavill as Superman, saying that the new Superman that they have in mind “will be focusing on an earlier part of Superman’s life, so the character will not be played by Henry Cavill.” He added that they’re a big fan of Henry Cavill and that they’re exploring “a number of exciting possibilities to work together in the future.’

Since becoming co-chairpersons and CEOs of DC Films, all eyes are on James Gunn and how he can build a connected DC universe that can rival the MCU. It looks like James Gunn wants to start fresh in his vision of a connected DC universe.
