Spider-Man Brand New Day Trailer

Hooray for more trailers! This time it’s a trailer for the next Spider-Man movie, which is the next film in Phase 6 of the MCU. Tom Holland is crushing it as Peter Parker; I might even say I like him better than Tobey Maguire. There is a caveat before you watch this trailer; if you have not seen Spider-Man: No Way Home, the context of this trailer might seem confusing.

Let’s talk more after you watch.

While I remember the events of No Way Home, I should go back and watch it again anyway, in preparation for this film. However, other things look exciting about this movie. Number one on that list is Jon Bernthal returning as Punisher! If you haven’t watched The Punisher series, you should definitely check it out. He’s a great cast for Frank Castle.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be in theaters on July 31st.

ICYMI: The Fourth Avenger’s Doomday Teaser

I’m getting mixed details about the number of teaser trailers Avenger’s Doomsday will have. I thought there would only be four, but I’m seeing there will be six in some places. Be that as it may, in case you missed it, here is the fourth (and final?) Avenger’s Doomsday teaser trailer.

These two are not a huge surprise. We knew the Wakandans story isn’t finished, and we just had the newest iteration of the Fantastic Four. It’s a fun trailer, but it doesn’t quite have the dramatic flair of the previous teasers.

If there are more trailers, I’ll post them. I think the next teaser we get will be one for the full movie, which is still about 10 months away.

HMDYK About Her Universe

I know this is way outside the normal posts for this category, but we are such fans of Ashley Eckstein and what she’s done for the franchise. I would love to do a post about Ashley; however, she’s mostly known for her voice-over work as Ahsoka Tano. She is married to retired St Louis Cardinal shortstop David Eckstein. She is often seen at any con, and she loves meeting fans. She’s also an entrepreneur and started Her Universe in 2010. So, for one last time in 2025, how much do you know about Her Universe?

Movie Review of Fantastic Four First Steps

Fantastic 4 First Steps poster

Directed by: Matt Shakman
Starring: Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach
Release Date: July 25, 2025
Runtime: 1 h 45m
My Rating:

It’s been four years since Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben took that fateful trip into space and became Earth’s protectors. Now, Galactus threatens to consume the planet to satiate his life force, and it’s up to The Fantastic Four to stop him.

This is the first film of the Sixth and final phase of the Multiverse Saga. I’d say that this is a solid start to this phase. I had my doubts when the trailer premiered, but after hearing good things and seeing it myself, those doubts are gone. If I’m being honest, I enjoyed Superman more, but as a bigger Marvel fan, I’m giving this movie the same rating.

Trailers: Fantastic Four: First Steps – Final Trailer

Ok, I’m a little behind posting about new MCU trailers. A couple of days ago, the final trailer for Fantastic Four First Steps came out. If, by chance, you haven’t seen it yet, or want to watch it again, here you go:

This trailer is a little more exciting than the previous trailers we’ve seen for this movie. This cast and story are starting to grow on me, but it’s probably going to be one of those movies that I wait to see the audience’s response. I don’t care about the critics.

Just a note in regards to the MCU, this movie is the first film in Phase Six. Phase Six is also the final set of films in the Multiverse Saga.

The movie comes out on July 25th. If you see it, drop a comment about what you thought. I’m interested.

Trailers: Thunderbolts* Final Trailer

It’s a busy week. The start of Star Wars Celebration begins tonight and we have two new Marvel trailers this week. Here is the final trailer for Marvel’s Thunderbolts* coming out in a few weeks on May 2nd.

I’m glad I saw this trailer after the Fantastic Four First Steps trailer. There is significantly more energy coming from this trailer and I’m far more compelled to see this movie in the theater.

I don’t really have much to say about this trailer. The villain appears to be “The Void” or Dark Sentry, which I know nothing about. A quick Google search told me he (or it) is a dark force that tries to take out the “New Avengers” and even spars with the Fantastic Four and Doctor Strange. Perhaps this explains why we are also getting the Fantastic Four movie this year as well.

If you are savvy in Marvel canon please feel free to enlighten me more on The Void/Dark Sentry.
