While Marvel Studios has yet to offer any official indication of when exactly the first trailer for Avengers 4 will be dropping, much of the internet no longer sees it as a matter of debate that this footage will be coming out before the end of the month, leaving only the question of which particular day this long-awaited launch could happen.
We’ve heard a lot of contradicting reports about Henry Cavill’s future in the DCEU, but assuming the actor is well and truly done playing Superman, artist bosslogic has a suggestion for another familiar do-gooder that the Man of Steel star could give a try.
The new Aquaman movie is still over a month away from hitting North American cinemas, but for audiences in China, Arthur Curry’s solo debut will be arriving as soon December 7th. What’s more, in anticipation of this launch, some fans got an early look at the James Wan-helmed film, and for the most part, the responses are pretty promising.
The backlash came thick and fast when a PG-13 cut of Deadpool 2 was first announced, with fan reactions ranging from baffled to infuriated at the idea of seeing a neutered version of the Merc with a Mouth on the big screen. But while the Wade Wilson of Once Upon a Deadpool probably won’t be making a lot parents mad, this first trailer still sees the franchise stay on mischievous brand when it bites the hand that feeds it.
Though Robert Downey Jr.’s run in the Marvel Cinematic Universe may or may not be meeting its end with next year’s Avengers 4, it seems that the actor already has plans for another comic book adaptation, with Deadline reporting that Robert and Susan Downey's Team Downey production company is pushing forward with the pilot for Sweet Tooth.
Back in early October, you may recall how the week of Venom’s release got off to a pretty shaky start, with early reactions to Eddie Brock’s first solo outing suggesting that Sony might have a disaster on its hands. But once Ruben Fleischer’s symbiote story actually came out in theaters, the film's commercial performance exceeded expectations. And thanks to the Sony flick's ongoing success in China, the movie's latest numbers put its worldwide box office total at a remarkable $780.5 million.
In the wake of Stan Lee’s recent passing, Real Time host Bill Maher took the opportunity to stir up some drama with an incendiary blog piece. This controversial article published on Saturday saw the comedian and political commentator use the writer’s death as the starting point for a blanket criticism of comic book culture in general, arguing that comics represent an unimportant and juvenile art form that doesn’t deserve to be taken seriously.
Back in 2016, Captain America: Civil War was by far the most crowded entry in the MCU to date, introducing new players like Spider-Man and Black Panther, while also assembling most of the franchise’s pre-established heroes for an all-star smackdown. In such a busy film, it’s probably for the best that Marvel Studios didn’t follow through on their plans to introduce Hope van Dyne’s Wasp persona, and apparently actress Evangeline Lilly feels much the same.
Though Captain America has proven to be one of the most popular players in the MCU, there was always the risk that viewers would fail to connect with such a principled do-gooder, especially back in the early 2010s when audiences were still yearning for dark and moody superheroes of the Christopher Nolan variety. Nonetheless, it seems that this righteous streak remains Steve Rogers’ most appealing quality to the man who’s been playing him for these last eight years.
While there’s still some debate to be had over when that all-important first trailer for Avengers 4 is most likely to drop, the overwhelming majority of online speculators are zeroing in on these next couple of weeks as the most likely period, with YouTube channel Everything Always now offering their prediction of Wednesday, November 28th.
