HOLY SNAP, The New ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Trailer Looks EPIC

“What were you the God of, again?”

GOD OF THUNDER, YOU B****!

This year’s San Diego Comic-Con has brought us all kinds of awesome, but this new trailer for Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok has probably won the con.

Yes, that’s right, I said it, this trailer looks absolutely epic. Everything from Cate Blanchett’s magnificent Hela, to Hulk talking, Loki’s return (has he ever left tho?), Valkyrie in action, Thor: the freaking god of thunder… It looks amazing.

The question now is: have they shown too much? Is there going to be anything else to show in the movie? I guess we’ll wait and see.

For now, let’s freak out together:

Stop Everything, We Just Got a Four-Minute Sneak Peek for ‘Justice League’

Warner Bros. just debuted a four-minute sneak peek for the highly anticipated Justice League and it looks like everything we’ve wanted.

We get an amazing look at our five superheroes: Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), being as awesome as usual; Batman (Ben Affleck), in all his glory; Aquaman (Jason Momoa), doing some fabulous hair-flips; the Flash (Ezra Miller), delivering hilarious lines; and a closer look at Cyborg (Ray Fisher) taking over what seems one of Batman’s toys.

The trailer features our villain, Steppenwolf (Ciarán Hinds), fighting the Justice League and attacking Themyscira.

Oh yeah, and we also get a hint of Superman’s return (!!!).

Justice League hits theatres November 17.

‘Shazam!’ Will Start Production Early 2018

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Shazam! will be the next DCEU movie to film.

It is not confirmed if Dwayne Johnson will be in the movie as Shazam!‘s villain, Black Adam. It looks like the character is being saved for its own spinoff.

Shazam! is the story of a kid that can transform himself into a costumed adult with superhuman powers by speaking the words “SHAZAM!”

The movie will be directed by David F. Sandberg (Lights Out) and Peter Safran (Aquaman‘s producer) is in negotiations to produce.

Sandberg took a DECU Reddit to talk about the film: “To keep it general and not go into script details I’d say the core thing that’s appealing to me is the wish fulfillment. What kid doesn’t want to be Superman? This is a kid that basically gets to become Superman.”

Shazam! is predicted to hit theatres in 2019.

D23: New Info on ‘Wreck It Ralph 2,’ ‘The Incredibles 2,’ ‘Coco,’ and More

Filmmakers and animators from Disney and Pixar gathered at D23 to unveil a bunch of info on their upcoming animated movies.

Chief creative officer of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios John Lasseter teamed up with the talent in front and behind of the camera from both studios to present new details on the upcoming movies.

It started with the first ever live performance of “Remember Me” from Pixar’s upcoming film, Coco. Anthony Gonzales (who voices Miguel), and Benjamin Bratt (Ernesto de la Cruz) teamed up on stage to perform the song. For the song’s grand finale, more than 160 performers joined Gonzales and Bratt.

“Our film embraces a broad landscape of music,” said director Lee Unkrich. “We were fortunate to have Kristen [Anderson-Lopez] and Bobby [Lopez] create ‘Remember Me’—it’s the signature song made famous by Ernesto de la Cruz, and it embodies the key theme in our story: the importance of remembering loved ones both in life and beyond.”

Continuing with the musical theme, Josh Gad (Olaf) took the stage to do a surprise performance of “That Time of the Year” from the upcoming holiday short Olaf’s Frozen Adventure.

The 21-minute featurette, directed by Kevin Deters and Stevie Wermers-Skelton, will play in front of Disney’s Coco later this year.

Now, news from the incredibly awaited The Incredibles 2. Lasseter shared a video of the ways the fashion industry looks up to our favorite designer: Edna Mode.

That was followed by director Brad Bird joining Lassater on stage and welcoming Craig T. Nelson (Mr. Incredible), Holly Hunter (Mrs. Incredible), Sarah Vowell (Violet), newcomer Huck Milner (Dash), and Samuel L. Jackson (Frozone).

Bird revealed some details about the film, confirming that The Incredibles 2 will pick up right after the first movie, right when the Underminer comes up and you see the family changing into their supersuits.

However, it seems like now all the action will go to Mrs. Incredible, with Hunter saying “Bob’s actually home with the kids this time and I’m the one out fighting crime.”

The movie is set to hit theatres June 15, 2018.

Ralph Breaks the Internet (a.k.a. Wreck it Ralph 2) brought fans probably one of the most epic moments in Disney history.

Lasseter unveiled a scene to fans featuring the Disney Princesses, and revealed that he had asked the princesses voice actress to make a cameo on the sequence. That was followed by said voice actresses coming on stage together for the largest gathering of Disney Princesses ever.

From left to right: Paige O’Hara (Belle), Irene Bedard (Pocahontas), Mandy Moore (Rapunzel), Auli’i Cravalho (Moana), Sarah Silverman (Vanellope), Kristen Bell (Anna), Kelly Macdonald (Merida), Anika Noni Rose (Tiana), Linda Larkin (Jasmine), and Jodi Benson (Ariel).

In the upcoming movie, Ralph (John C. Reilly), Vanellope (Sarah Silverman) and company will leave the arcade behind and jump right into the wonders of the Internet.

They will encounter a new character, Yesss, an algorithm voiced by Empire‘s Taraji P. Henson. “Yesss is a new character who owns the website Buzzaholic,” said Henson. “Yesss knows about everything cool and on trend. And she does spell her name with a triple ‘s.’ Yesss is very savvy, smart and sexy.”

In smaller news:

  • It was revealed that Josh Cooley (Riley’s First Date?) will direct Toy Story 4, which is set to come out June 21, 2019.
  • The Frozen 2 talent unveiled a BTS video of the filmmakers recent trip to Norway, Finland and Iceland.
  • Information for an untitled Dan Scanlon movie, was unveiled: the film will take place in a world of elves, trolls and sprites. “In the film, we’re going to tell the story of two teenage elf brothers whose father died when they were too young to remember him,” said Scanlon, “but thanks to the little magic still left in the world, the boys embark on a quest that will allow them a chance to spend one last magical day with their father.”

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Trailer Description Released

A trailer for Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity Wart was shown at last weekend’s D23 Expo, and the bad news is: we probably won’t watch it until Thor: Ragnarok comes out.

However, we do have a detailed description of the teaser courtesy of io9 and Marvel’s Agent M.

Check them out:

The text ahead contains spoilers for every MCU movie released to date (including Spider-Man: Homecoming)

We’ll learn more about Thor and the Hulk in Thor: Ragnarok, but the Infinity War trailer opened with the Asgardian being flung against the windshield of the Milano, the ship commanded by Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) from Guardians of the Galaxy. “Get it off!” shouts Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper), as though a particularly ugly bug had been smushed there.
Mantis (Pom Klementieff) brings Thor back to life, and he promptly greets out Guardians with an unfriendly, “Who the hell are you?” (To be fair, Star-Lord had just told his fellow Guardians, “This might be dangerous, so let’s put on our mean faces.”) It then seems like Thor joins forces with the Guardians to guide them to Earth, where we see the following things go down, in quick succession:
Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) seems to cut a flaming car in half. It looks like her beau Vision (Paul Bethany) might be trapped nearby, and to judge from their faces, something sad and bad is going down.
“Death follows him like a shadow,” we hear, as Josh Brolin’s ultimate villain Thanos is teased.
Suddenly, Tom Hiddleston’s Loki appears, cutting through flaming wreckage to grab the Tesseract, which holds one of the Infinity Stones. Is this what Scarlet Witch and Vision were trying to prevent?
Next, there’s a glimpse of Tom Holland’s Peter Parker on his school bus. The hair on his arms stands up. How’s that for some trouble-activated spider-sense?
“He’s come to us,” someone says, as some alien ships crash land on a wrecked Earth. A worried Mantis stands with Iron Man, Thor, Doctor Strange, the Hulk, and the other heroes as the aircrafts approach.
“This does put a smile on my face,” intones Thanos, as Gamora (Zoe Saldana) takes in the wreckage of the room kept by the Collector (Benicio del Toro). More Infinity Stones pillaged.
And that’s when Thanos walks through a portal onto Earth — big and hulking and boasting a shit-eating grin. Star-Lord and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) leap into action, harnessing magic and airborne stepping stones. Even Spider-Man swings into action, wearing a cool new suit … perhaps the one teased at the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming?
Briefly, we see Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), who’s blond now, and Captain America, who’s bearded. Listen, I know the fate of the universe is at stake, but don’t we all feel a little refreshed after spending valuable time on an undercover makeover? Talk to Wonder Woman about that, she knows what’s up.
In the final moments, things get truly heightened. Thanos grabs Thor’s head in his meaty paw and regards it like a grape he’s about to smush. Maybe he saw that scary black-and-white episode of Twin Peaks and wants to practice storming radio stations and breaking open heads?
“You can run from it,” growls Thanos, “but your destiny still arrives.” And then he holds up one hand and seemingly destroys a planet far away in the sky — or, if this scene is taking place on Earth, our freaking moon — and heaves the remains of it at our Avengers in a single shot.

Avengers: Infinity War comes out on May 4, 2018.

First Look at Thanos’ Black Order Revealed at D23

We now know what Thanos’ henchmen will look like!

The Black Order is a group of villains raised and trained by Thanos (Gamora style) to do his dirty work for him.

Take a look at the gang:

The group revealed consists of:

Corvus Glaive: general of the Black Order. He has enhanced strength, speed and durability who uses a bladed pike that can cut through anything and makes him immortal when he holds it.

Ebony Maw: a genius telepath who uses a teleportation device and can control other people’s mind.

Proxima Midnight: Corvus’ wife. She’s an expert on hand-to-hand combat and super strength. Her lance transforms into unavoidable toxic light beams.

Black Dwarf: member of the Black Order who possesses super strength and impenetrable skin.

Does this mean that Gamora and Nebula will encounter some old friends?!

We also got a look at Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet:

Marvel has yet to cast the voices of the members of the Black Order.

Avengers: Infinity War wrapped filming on Friday and now the cast is heading to start production on the untitled Avengers 4.
