If I had any reservations about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, they’re mostly gone now. The recently released trailer won me over. The imagery is outstanding, and Ben Affleck looks intimidating as Batman. It doesn’t hurt that the costume is gray. Finally.
At this point who hasn’t seen the new teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens? If you haven’t yet, I strongly recommend that you watch it now. This instant.
I saw the headline for a Flash Gordon reboot and I recoiled in disgust. Granted, there’s been different incarnations of the comic strip, but the 80s movie was the definitive version for me. The theme song by Queen certainly helps. So could you blame me?
The other day, Ryan Reynolds had a mock interview with Extra’s Mario Lopez about Deadpool. Fans of the comics – including Reynolds himself – sorely wanted an R-rated movie. Deadpool, after all, has gratuitous violence and inappropriate humor. Great, inappropriate meta-humor.
Marvel Studios was really on something with their cinematic universe; other franchises started to follow its lead. Unfortunately, the next one is Transformers.
We’re all looking forward to our favorite superheroes teaming up again to face another threat in The Avengers: Age of Ultron. And besides a different villain, there’s two wild cards that are entering the fray: Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. To settle some curiosity – just a little – a little video was released, introducing these characters.
You know the drill. Watch.

It’s still unbelievable that Deadpool is getting a film adaptation – especially after the terrible fiasco for the character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. But here we are. And Ryan Reynolds is reprising the role. And he recently tweeted a photo of himself as Deadpool.
Disney has huge plans for Star Wars. There’s J. J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens to kick off the new trilogy — oh, and there’s planned spinoffs too. One of them was recently announced: Rogue One.
