Thunderbolts Trailer

Of course, the moment I commit to expanding my content a little bit, we get several new trailers that fall under the “geek canon” genre. DC has been stepping up their game with Superman so Marvel doubles down. First, it was the Fantastic Four First Steps trailer, then, during the Super Bowl, Marvel released the Thunderbolts trailer. Let’s have a look.

If I’m not mistaken Thunderbolts is the Marvel version of DC’s Suicide Squad; misfit anit-heros brought together to save humanity. Marvel needs a serious win right now. They have struggled since ending the Infinity Saga.

This trailer gives us some hope. The humor and dialog are very promising, I just hope they didn’t put all the funny parts in the trailer. The action looks good and engaging. I’m a little excited about it.

I am way behind on all of the series and I need to watch a couple of movies. It should be a goal to get caught up before I see any new films, including Captain America: Brave New World (which comes out this Friday). Thunderbolts* comes out May 2nd.

Fantastic Four First Steps Teaser Trailer

Fantastic Four First Steps teaser

In my effort to expand the content of this blog, we have a new trailer that launched today. It is the reboot of the Fantastic Four franchise with a new cast, which, hopefully, will render better results than that disaster back in 2015. So without further ado here is the new Fantastic Four First Steps teaser trailer.

James Gunn’s Superman Teaser Trailer

James Gunn’s story about the son of Krypton has its first teaser trailer. It’s not often that I post many trailers that don’t pertain to Star Wars, but maybe I should. Perhaps I will try to do more of it as long as it’s something I think is interesting and I have some thoughts to share. Without further ado, here is James Gunn’s Superman teaser trailer.

Movie Review: Deadpool & Wolverine

Directed by: Shawn Levy
Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman
My Rating:

It’s rare for us to be able to see one movie in the theater but to see two is even more extraordinary. I know this movie has been out for a while and most have probably already seen it. If you have not seen it Deadpool & Wolverine will be available for streaming on-demand October 1st.

As you can tell from my rating, I really enjoyed this movie. I enjoyed just about everything about it. I love the fact that it doesn’t take itself too seriously; I love the action and the comedy; I love the chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.

The general plot, without giving away too much, is that Deadpool needs to save his family and friends and there is only one person that can help him do that.

Prior to watching this movie, I would advise that you should probably watch both seasons of Loki. Obviously, the prior two films would be helpful as well as Doctor Strange.

If you have seen the previous two films then you know what to expect. This film is equally as obscene and has just as much gratuitous violence. It is obvious these guys enjoy playing these characters. I think they had just as much fun making this film as I did watching it.

Movie Review of The Marvels

Directed By: Nia DaCosta
Starring: Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris, Iman Vellani

Release Date: November 10, 2023

My Rating:

No good deed goes unpunished. After fulfilling a promise made at the end of Captain Marvel, Carol made some enemies. These enemies seek to destroy her for the danger she has created for their people. In locating her, Carol finds that her powers have become entangled with those of Kamala Khan and Monica Rambeau.

MMT: Superhero Month (2023)

In honor of Hugh Jackman’s return as Wolverine (for Deadpool 3), I decided to focus on Marvel for superhero month (2023). I am a much bigger fan of the Marvel universe than DC. This post is a couple of weeks late as I was on vacation. Here are the Wolverine-themed movies on this list for June 2023:
