I have to admit that I am not the target audience for Superhero movies. However, after watching the trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, I actually want to see the film. And it is not because eye candy Pedro Pascal and Joseph Quinn are in it. Although, that does not hurt!
It is nice to see a movie in this genre that is not as dark as Batman’s suit. And yes, I know he is DC, and the Fantastic Four are Marvel.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel’s First Family — Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Quinn), and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) — as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal.
The first full trailer is out for Deadpool & Wolverine, and I am not sure I want to see it. It doesn’t seem like it is going to be as fun as I thought it was going to be. But then again, it could just be the person who produced the trailer editor who was the one who made bad choices.
Are you excited for the Ryan Reynolds vs Hugh Jackman film, which comes out on July 26th?
Back in 1978, Star Wars got a holiday special, and people are still talking about how awful it was. Now, almost 45 years later. The Guardians of the Galaxy is getting one on November 25th on Disney+. And I am wishing and hoping it is just as bad!
The Holiday Special includes their version of Bea Arthur, who we will call Kevin Bacon. The actor, who is six degrees from all other actors, will be playing himself.
I guess he is a villain because why else would he be running from the Guardians? I mean, why would a good guy run from Superheroes if he is good? So, I am looking forward to bad guy Kevin Bacon!
Actually, I am looking forward to The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. And I have never seen any of their movies. Why? Because it seems like it is going to be so much fun with Star-Lord, Mantis, Drax, Nebula, Kraglin, Cosmo, Rocket, and Groot.
And don’t we all need a little more fun this and every holiday season?
Technology is so awesome these days that the Wizard of Oz would be in awe of it. How would he feel if NextFace decided to replace the faces of Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion with The Avengers’ Tom Holland, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, and Chris Pratt? The same way the four characters felt when they found out the Wizard was a fake.
The only thing missing is Gwyneth Paltrow as the Wicked Witch of the West and Ryan Reynolds as Glinda!
Back in the ’80s, Lou Ferrigno played the Hulk (after transformation) and Helen Slater was Supergirl. The two superheroes never met because they are from two different Worlds.
Not Earth and Krypton, but Marvel and DC Comics. Now their two universes are colliding in Slugfest. Slater says it is an inside look into the “epic 50 year battle between Marvel and DC.” I wonder, who will win?
In the movie world, Marvel is the winner. However, on TV, thanks to Greg Berlanti, it is DC all the way. In your world, who is the winner?
I would love to see all the superheroes from the last century come together in an Avengers like movie. I am sure George Clooney would love to play Batman again.
