The animated X-Men is back, picking up directly after the original animated series ended back in the 1990s. Charles Xavier is dead, and the X-Men have to move on.
And it looks as if the X-Men are moving on, big time!
I like how the animation resembles the animation of the old show, but definitely improved. It has the same style, but looking much better.
And I am sorry, but that whole Wolverine/Gambit scene with Gambit charging the adamantium claws… I have perhaps never seen anything more epic.
The speculation on the series of Echo was that it was going to be a failure. All the signs were pointing at the possible fact that Echo was going to be a mess. It had been pushed to January. They plan on dropping all episodes at the same time, a first for any Disney + show. And the character of Echo was easily the worst part of the Hawkeye series.
So color me surprised when this trailer came out and it was fantastic. The story of the trailer was centered around the relationship between Echo and Wilson Fisk, who looks as brutal as he did during the Netflix Daredevil series. It was a thrilling trailer.
Before the trailer, I was planning on watching Echo but I was not anticipating it. After the trailer, I am excited about the series and hope that it is as good as the trailer. The trailer succeeded in making me more intrigued for Echo.
I was watching the Geek Buddies on YouTube today, which is a podcast with John Rocha, Michael Vogel and Shannon McClung. During their weekly show, they typically talk about new trailers and so I figured I could add the trailers to this post.
Lisa Frankenstein
This looks kind of funny. It could be a fantastic film or a complete nightmare. Kathryn Newton leads the film.
Fargo Season 5
It has been awhile since I watched a season of Fargo. This trailer looks to have the oddball charm and bizarre feel of the best of this anthology series. By Nov. 21, Loki, Goosebumps will be done, maybe I’ll give this one a looksee.
Maestro Trailer 2
This is the Netflix movie, directed by Bradley Cooper, featuring the story of the relationship between icon Leonard Bernstein and Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein.
You should definitely give The Geek Buddies a try if you have not watched it before. John, Michael and Shannon have chemistry all over the place and they are always funny. They give some excellent opinions on geek culture and are always engaging.
I was unaware that there was a movie in the works telling the tragic story of the Von Erich family. Not only is there a movie, it is being made by A24.
The Von Erichs were a family of wrestlers, six sons of family patriarch Fritz Von Erich. Of the six sons, five died and three of them were by suicide.
This trailer looked amazing, with the time frame looking perfect. I am very anxious to see the story unfold.
The Iron Claw stars Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, Maura Tierney, Stanley Simons, with Holt McCallany and Lily James.
They had me with John Cena. His appearance looked epic… and then it got wild.
Add Bryce Dallas Howard, Henry Cavill, Bryan Cranston, Ariana DeBose, Catherine O’Hara, Dua Lipa, Samuel L. Jackson, Sofia Boutella, Sam Rockwell, and Chip the cat, the real-life cat of supermodel Claudia Vaughn.
Matthew Vaughn is the director and this trailer really excited me for a film that I had no idea about before today.
Okay, this Boys spin-off (or series that falls in the same universe) is going to debut this weekend (officially September 29th) and so I thought this was a good trailer to revisit.
Gen V feels like the concept of the X-Men, a school that trains the future heroes. Of course, much like the Boys itself, this looks way bloodier than any X-Men product I have seen (even more than Logan).
The character called “Bloody Marie” looks extremely intriguing. That is not her actual character name, but it sounded cool.
I will be curious to see if this new series can be anywhere near as entertaining as The Boys, because if it is, this will be an awesome show.
I thought this was the new trailer for the Squid Game 2 coming soon to Netflix.
It’s not.
I actually found another trailer for the show, but it was one of those fan made ones. I hate those because they are done so well these days that you can’t really tell if they are official.
This trailer is Squid Game: The Challenge, a new reality show/game show based on the Squid Game. I hadn’t heard anything about this show, but it does seem weird.
I can’t imagine that there would be anything near as intense or exciting about this as the series. I may give it a chance. It is on Netflix.
Two new trailers starring the ever amazing Nicholas Cage…
First, Butcher’s Crossing:
And following that, A24’s new film, Dream Scenario…
I’m not sure that you can get two more diverse roles/films releasing at the same time. Both of these trailers look great and Nic Cage seems to be at the top of his game.
Dream Scenario looks funny and it has the A24 reputation behind it. Butcher’s Crossing was filmed last year and is just now coming out.
Nic Cage certainly works a lot. He is a great actor and these both look fabulous.
Wasn’t sure why we needed a prequel to the Hunger Games franchise.
I guess this is from a book by Suzanne Collins, the author of the original three books. I did not know that until I read some comments on this video’s YouTube page. I’m not sure that piece of information changed my opinion of the need for this.
The trailer itself looks good and the characters are intriguing. And you can never go wrong with Viola Davis.
Plus, there just seems to be something about Rachel Zegler. The actress from Spielberg’s West Side Story and the DC film Shazam! Fury of the Gods shines in this trailer, her presence just jumping off the screen.
Having you future villain as the protagonist of your film is not a new idea…ahem Anakin… but Snow could turn out to be compelling. We’ll have to see.
Honestly, I was not anticipating this movie much, and after this trailer, my interest is piqued a touch, but it has not moved up my list much. I will see it on its opening weekend and I did like the Hunger Games films so hopefully this will be worth its existence.
Hulu has had some excellent original films over the last few years. Something like Prey is just epic. This looks frightening and filled with some tense moments.
The quick look at the monster at the end of the trailer gave me Cloverfield vibes.
This will go on my list to watch thanks to this trailer.
If I am being honest, Killers of the Flower Moon has not been a film that I was anticipating. I have no problem with Martin Scorsese as a director, but I do not revere him as some do. Leonardo DiCaprio is an excellent actor, but he does not drive my attention to a project like some actors might. The first trailer was fine, but did not do much for me.
After this trailer, I am considerably more excited for this movie. This trailer did exactly what it was supposed to do… made me look forward to the movie more than I was before.
There was considerable more emotion shown in the trailer than it showed before. It was more intense than it was in the first trailer.
I was always going to watch this movie, but I admit that I am now anticipating the movie and that is thrilling.
