With Star Wars: Episode IX still over a year away from release, it could be some time before Lucasfilm provides any actual footage from the upcoming trilogy-closer, leaving the internet vulnerable to whatever ideas the rumor mill is offering this week. This recent pair of allegations, for instance, are both at least partly concerned with Kylo Ren, and how he might be spending his final hours in the franchise.
Birds of Prey (and The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is set to introduce a generous array of new additions to the DCEU, but according to Margo Robbie, there’s still at least one comic book character who’s just crying out for her cinematic universe debut.
After Ralph Breaks the Internet featured a wordless animated appearance from the late Stan Lee, the upcoming Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is the next movie in line to pay tribute to the renowned writer, with the man himself providing some voice work to the film before his recent passing.
Oh Marvel Studios, look what you’re doing to the people who love you most. Just a couple of weeks ago, the internet seemed so confident that the all-important first trailer for Avengers 4 would be dropping before the end of the month, and as December 1st looms ever-closer, many fans have been clinging to the notion that November 28th would be the day where the long-awaited footage would finally surface.
It’s an exhausting time to be a Marvel fan, as the internet runs through a seemingly inexhaustible series of predictions on when the first Avengers 4 trailer could be dropping, only to be repeatedly proven wrong by the mere passage of time.
Back in July, Legendary dropped one of the most exhilarating trailers of the year in the form of their tease for next year’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters, with the footage going down a storm at SDCC before earning plaudits online. Now, a new international trailer has been released, and while it’s essentially a shorter version of that first preview, it’s still a nice reminder of the colossal action to come.
After 2015’s Creed came out to commercial and critical success, director Ryan Coogler and stars Michael B. Jordan and Tessa Thompson all went on to land jobs in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And now that Creed II’s run in cinemas has got off to a promising start, Thompson has suggested that helmsman Steven Caple Jr. could be the one to give her Thor: Ragnarok character the standalone movie treatment.
As the internet continues to lose its mind in the absence of any official indication of when the first Avengers 4 trailer will be coming our way, we can at least be confident in saying that this teaser does indeed exist, and at least one person has already seen it.
Just a couple of weeks ago, the internet seemed so confident that the all-important first trailer for Avengers 4 would be dropping at some point this month, and as December 1st looms ever-closer, many fans have been clinging to the notion that November 28th would be the day where this long-awaited footage would finally surface.
One of the supposed perks of the cinematic universe model is that each new entry is able to build on the last, allowing for some richly elaborate world-building and multi-movie storytelling. In the case of the DCEU, however, previous entries are serving as mostly burdensome obstacles on the series timeline that future entries are going out of their way to distance themselves from. You can see this in the upcoming Wonder Woman 1984, which is once more taking the action back several decades prior to the events of the commercially underwhelming Justice League, and it’s looking like Matt Reeves’ The Batman may be pulling much the same trick.
