Black Panther Welcomes the Avengers to Wakanda in Extended Infinity War Teaser
“Today we don’t fight for one life, we fight for all of them,” T’Challa declares in the new Avengers: Infinity War extended television trailer.
Titled “Chant”, you can hear our king lead a chant of (what appears to be) “Yibambe”, which is a Zulu term that means “hold fast”.
In the extended promo, we see several lighter moments from the film including when Captain American and Bucky Barnes reunite and what Okoye thought T’Challa’s opening of Wakanda to the world might have meant.
“When you said we were going to open Wakanda to the rest of the world, this is not what I imagined,” says Okoye.
T’Challa asks, “What did you imagine?”
“The Olympics…maybe even a Starbucks,” she responds.
Here’s the one minute commercial:
Avengers: Infinity War opens in U.S. theaters on April 27, 2018.

Until today, we have learned that thanks to Bleeding Cool, rumours suggest that Woody Harrelson is going to be playing Carnage in Venom.
While Sony has not officially confirmed the casting yet, Bleeding Cool has been told in a very “confirm-y way”. If this turns out to be true, it could lead to Woody taking on the craziest role of his career (Maybe).

Review: Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay
Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay is the latest DCAU movie to come out and you can bet that it looks like one hell of a ride. Does the movie live up to the hype? Or should it just be terminated?
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV7_tOeOf7Q[/embedyt]
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!!! PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
What makes this movie different from the rest is that it is a 100% brand new story. Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay doesn’t base itself on any previous Suicide Squad arc or comic. It goes to show that DC Animation can craft their own stories and they can be entertaining as hell.
Another thing I want to address is that this is an R-rated movie. While you may be thinking that it doesn’t hold much significance, DC has been giving most of their Animated Movies R ratings nowadays. While most of them don’t really feel like an R, this one is the first true DC Animated movie that actually earns its R rating. There is plenty of blood, violence, partial nudity and swearing that it makes it entertaining and not safe for kids.
The story follows the Suicide Squad as they go out on a mission to find a literal “Get out of Hell” card. Amanda Waller (Vanessa Williams), wants this mystical card so she can use it on herself, either today or maybe a couple of years down the line. This mission sees the squad go on a road trip in an RV (To keep things lowkey), to track down Maxum Steel (Greg Grunberg), who is a previous host for Doctor Fate. Steel lost the card after it was stolen from him by two women who he was looking to score with. These ladies were Scandal Savage (Dania Ramirez), and Knockout (Cissy Jones). Scandal wants to give the card to her Dad, Vandal Savage (Jim Pirri), so he can use it to finally die and go to heaven. Halfway through the mission, Waller calls up Deadshot (Christian Slader), and she tells him that if he can deliver the card to her personally, she will let him walk a free man. This doesn’t go as planned because we learn that Eobard Thawne (C. Thomas Howell), who we last saw got shot in the head in the Flashpoint Paradox, is somehow alive and he is also after the card. Thawne is barely still alive and is running on borrowed time (Sorry, not sorry). This all leads to a battle at the end in Vandal’s HQ where we see that Vandal used Professor Pyg (James Urbaniak), to surgically put the card into him. This guarantees that anyone who tries to take the card from Vandal will kill him and the card will be used up. This leads to a bloody battle with only Deadshot and Captain Boomerang (Liam McIntyre), left standing. Before Waller arrives, Deadshot gives the card to the dying Bronze Tiger (Billy Brown), and is able to let him use the card so he can die in peace. Deadshot gives Waller the card, doesn’t tell her that Tiger used it and he is now a free man, Deadshot is now able to see his daughter for the first time in a long time.
The voice acting in this movie is awesome. Christian Slader voices Deadshot and he does an amazing job. Slader brings his own uniqueness to the character and it helps him stand out from the rest. C. Thomas Howell is amazing as Thawne and I didn’t think he would be in this movie so it’s truly a surprise. Howell voiced Thawne in Flashpoint Paradox as well and he is truly a standout villain in this movie. I also loved Vanessa Williams as Waller. No matter what version I see, I have never heard a bad Waller before and Williams is able to continue this streak. I really do love Amanda Waller as a character in general and she is both fierce and manipulative at the same time. Everyone else did an awesome job in this movie.
One thing I can say about this movie is that it is filled with dark humour and is wildly entertaining. I love how the squad just travels around in an RV and they keep getting into trouble and screwing up. Along the way, we see various people get shot, frozen, taken over by mind control and also have their explosives go off.
This movie doesn’t hold back when it comes to the main characters. By the end of the movie, half of the cast is dead. The only ones left standing are Deadshot, Harley Quinn and Captain Boomerang. While this isn’t a bad thing, you think they would keep some of the members alive for future movies but no. It really does show that the writers knew what kind of movie they were writing and that on the Suicide Squad, everyone is replaceable (Except for the three mentioned above, they are the money makers after all).
The Verdict:
Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay is a dark, bloody, entertaining and funny animated movie. I wasn’t expecting to walk away loving this movie so much. The movie isn’t perfect by any means. However, if you are looking for a bloody good time, look no further then Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay. Just don’t try and look for any connections to past stories, you won’t find any here.

X-Men: Dark Phoenix and New Mutants Have Been Delayed
Fans looking forward to X-Men: Dark Phoenix and New Mutants, get ready for some disappointing news. Both of the films mentioned before will be getting delayed for different reasons.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix has been pushed back from November 2018 to February 14, 2019. This is due to scheduling conflicts between actors needed for reshoots for the film. Reshoots are common practice in the movie industry but as we have learned over the years, some are good (Rogue One), and others are far worse (Multiple DCEU Movies).
New Mutants was already delayed once for reshoots and now it’s being delayed for a second time for more reshoots. New Mutants was planned to come out in April 2018, where it was pushed back to February 2019. Now, it got pushed all the way to August 2, 2019. The reason for the first delay was to make it scarier. So, Director Josh Boone delivered a cut of the film that he was satisfied with. However, FOX now wants to do more reshoots so the movie can stand out as tonally distinct the same way Logan and Deadpool did.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix will open in theatres on February 14, 2019.
The New Mutants will open in theatres on August 2, 2019.
Although we don’t have any footage of X-Men: Dark Phoenix, New Mutants did release a trailer a couple of months ago which you can check out down below:

Captain Marvel Get’s Additional and Familiar Casting from the MCU
We haven’t seen any footage from the upcoming Captain Marvel movie. However, we have gotten some set photos and some casting news in the past. But, today we have some casting news that is out of this world.
Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson; Lee Pace as Ronan The Accuser, and Djimon Hounsou as Korath the Pursuer. They will all be returning to reprise their respective roles in the new MCU movie.
We last saw Ronan and Korath in Guardians of the Galaxy, and Agent Coulson has been a mainstay on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Of course, we saw both Ronan and Korath die in Guardians.
However, Captain Marvel will be set in the 90’s and will be an origin story. The film follows Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), as she finds herself with her powers when a galactic war fought by two alien races (The Kree and the Skrull), come to Earth.
Production has begun recently, and to celebrate Marvel released a photo of Larson researching the role at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.
