Touted, “the hierarchy of power in the DC Universe is about to change.”
The cast includes Pierce Brosnan, Sarah Shahi and Noah Centineo.
Collet-Serra’s directing chops include mainly horror movies, such as House of Wax, Orphan and The Shallows. He has worked with Liam Neeson in several thriller films, like Unknown and The Commuter.
“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”
Sam Raimi is back directing in the superhero genre with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The film follows Dr. Stephen Strange, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, as he casts a forbidden spell and opens a portal to the multiverse.
A threat occurs and emerges that may be too big for his team to handle. Other cast members include Xochitl Gomez, Elizabeth Olsen and Rachel McAdams.
Introducing “Eternals” Challenge, Powerful Superhero Perspective
Based on a Marvel comic book by Jack Kirby, co-written for the screen by Kaz and Ryan Firpo, and directed and co-written by Chloe Zhao, Eternals follow a race of immortal beings living on Earth to shape its history and civilizations.
According to IMDB, the Eternals quietly living on Earth reunite against the world’s most ancient enemy, the Deviants. Somehow, the story follows the events of Avengers: Endgame.
A powerful cast includes Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Kit Harington and Gemma Chan.
“Snake Eyes” Promising Ultimate Breakthrough of Authentic Superheroes
Directed by Robert Schwentke, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins follows actor Henry Golding as Snake Eyes. He’s a tenacious loner who becomes part of an ancient Japanese clan called the Arashikage after saving the life of their heir. Upon arrival in Japan, the Arashikage teaches Snake Eyes the ways of the ninja warrior while also providing something he’s been longing for — a home.
But, as secrets from his past become revealed, Snake Eyes’ honor and allegiance become tested — even if that means losing the trust of those closest to him.
Based on the iconic G.I. Joe character, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, Evan Spiliotopoulos wrote the screenplay. His credits include Beauty and the Beast, The Huntsman: Winter’s War, and recently The Unholy, which he also directed.
Snake Eyes also stars Andrew Koji as Storm Shadow, Úrsula Corberó as The Baroness, Samara Weaving as Scarlett, Haruka Abe as Akiko, Takehiro Hira as Kenta and Iko Uwais as Hard Master.
“The Suicide Squad” Supervillains Save the World
Based on a comic book co-written and directed by James Gunn, The Suicide Squad follows a secret government agency that recruits some of the most dangerous incarcerated supervillains. The purpose is to form a defensive task force. Their first mission is saving the world from the apocalypse.
These supervillains are impressive with Quinn, Bloodsport and Peacemaker. Then, there is a collection of cons at Belle Reve prison who join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Here, they are heavily armed and dropped off at the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese.
Gunn is best known for directing the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. John Ostrander co-wrote the script with Gunn, based on his modern comic book version.
The all-star cast makes the journey of this movie worthwhile. The movie stars: Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Viola Davis, Taika Waititi and Sylvester Stallone.
“Morbius” Trailer of Marvel’s Dangerously Enigmatic Antihero
Some call Morbius one of Marvel’s most compelling and conflicted characters. The comic book character comes to the big screen with Jared Leto transforming into the enigmatic antihero, Michael Morbius.
Dangerously ill with a rare blood disorder, and determined to save others suffering his same fate, Dr. Morbius attempts a desperate gamble. What at first appears to be a radical success soon reveals itself to be a remedy potentially worse than the disease.
Daniel Espinosa directed Morbius with the story by Matt Sazama & Burk Sharpless and the screenplay by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless and Art Marcum and Matt Holloway. The rest of the cast includes Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal, and Tyrese Gibson. It’s refreshing to see a surprise appearance of Michael Keaton, who is not on the cast list yet.
Young Cast Highlight “The New Mutants” Trailer
Co-written and directed by Josh Boone, The New Mutants follow five young mutants who are just discovering their abilities. Yet, held in a secret facility against their will. They do everything in their power fight to escape their past sins and save themselves.
Knate Lee co-wrote the screenplay with Boone. Boone is best known for directing The Fault in Our Stars. The cast includes Anya Taylor-Joy, Maisie Williams, Antonio Banderas, and Charlie Heaton.
The trailer explains the story pretty well.
“Black Widow” Featurettes, Poster, TV Spots, Trailers
Directed by Cate Shortland, Black Widow is about Natasha Romanoff, played by Scarlett Johansson, in her quests between the films Civil War and Infinity Wars.
Ned Benson and Jac Schaeffer co-wrote the screenplay based on Stan Lee, Don Heck, and Don Rico comic books.
Rachel Weisz and David Harbour play critical roles in the movie – Weisz as Melina Vostokoff and Harbour as Alexei Shostakov and Red Guardian.
Weisz’s most recent role was in The Favourite, and she is married to James Bond, Daniel Craig. David Harbour played the Sheriff in Stranger Things and played Hellboy in the remake.
Black Widow is Shortland’s first major movie, though it looks like she directed a couple of arthouse movies.
Not a lot of information about the movie, so we watch the trailer to figure out what is happening in the story. It looks like the Black Widow goes home and spends time with her family.
The TV spot is 90 seconds long, almost the length of a trailer, and it contains what is in the above trailer and a little bit more.
I am impressed with these presentations, and I am hoping for a great movie.
“BrightBurn” Interview, Poster, Clip & Trailers
Directed by David Yarovesky, who brought us, Guardians of the Galaxy and Slither draws our attention to a new genre he’s started called “Superhero Horror.”
Not for the weak heart who dreams of Superman and Captain America, a child, played by Jackson A. Dunn, from another world crash-landed on Earth. A couple, played by Elizabeth Banks and David Denman, adopt him, and instead of becoming a hero to humanity, he proved to be something far more sinister.
Horror fans will go crazy over this movie, and they’ll demand a sequel after sequel. With that, I warn you to be careful when you watch the movie trailer. The ending is similar to The Prodigy trailer.
The movie is scripted by cousins Mark and Brian Gunn, who may relate very well to the producer James Gunn. The Gunn cousin’s credits include quite a bit of episodic TV shows.
The rest of the cast looks strong, including Matt Jones and Meredith Hagner.
The second trailer is much better and scarier, and it shows us a lot of what happens in the movie. That is good, and that is bad. It is good because we can see it is a blood-curdling horror movie. When his eyes turn red, oh boy, lookout, it is bad because we know what happens in the movie. Spoilers!
The “Indestructible” movie clip shows Brandon discovering his alien talents. The look on his face says it all, “Look out, world, here comes an evil superhero.”
I’ve included the Elizabeth Banks soundbites because she articulates the story so well. She understands this movie and knows what it means to create a horror-superhero movie. She shares with us what it’s like to work with Yarovesky.
