Spider-Man Homecoming Trailer

The second trailer for Spider-Man Homecoming has just dropped and it looks awesome!!

When I heard that Marvel has acquired the shared character rights for Spider-Man, I was really excited especially after how bad the Amazing Spider-Man 2 was, and after more details were released and Spider-Mans appearance in Civil War, I have no doubts that this film is going to be great.

The film is suppose to be following on from the events of Civil War and Peter/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) is trying to balance his life as Peter Parker and his duties as Spider-Man, with a little help from his mentor Tony Stark/ Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr).

From what I have seen so far, I think Tom Holland is a good choice so far as Spider-Man, and seems to have a really good dynamic with Robert Downey Jr. His appearance in Civil War was the perfect introduction to MCU and I also like that they have hired an actor who is close to the right age, especially as they are focusing on Peter Parker being in high school. 

The trailer shows us more of Peter interacting with the other characters especially with Tony Stark and I can't wait to see how their relationship develops in the film. We also finally get to see our first look at Michael Keaton as the Vulture, I really hope he will be a really good villain, as the MCU is seriously lacking in a good Villain other than Loki.

The film is being directed by Jon Watts and this will be his debut blockbuster film. The film also stars Zandeya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon and Tony Revolori.

I am really looking forward to watching Spider-Man:Homecoming when it is released on the 7th July 2017 and I can't wait to see Marvel finally be able to make a good Spider-Man. 

If you haven't seen the trailer yet, have a watch below!

Ant Man Trailer

We saw the first few glimpses of Ant Man a few days ago just to build our anticipation for the full trailer which has just debuted.

I am still undecided as to whether or not i enjoyed the trailer or whether or not Ant Man is going to be any good, The trailer is good but i just want to a bit more to get me more excited for the film. But with Marvel's track record i am holding out hope that this film is going to be an unknown success similar to Guardians, maybe not as big but hopefully will have the same reaction.

I love Paul Rudd i think he is a great actor, when i heard he was cast in the role i was a little surprised by the choice a little, but i think he will bring another angle to the Marvel universe, i would love to see a scene in Avengers Infinity Gauntlet with him, Robert Downey Jr and Mark Ruffalo!!

I don't really know much about Ant Man but what i do know is that Scott Lang (Rudd) a con man that inherits a super suit with the ability to shrink in size but increase the strength and embrace his inner hero to save the world.

Check out the trailer below

I know that the film has has some issues regarding directors with Peyton Reed taking over from Edgar Wright ect but Marvel have such a good track record with these films that i have know doubt that this will be any different, I will be in line to see this at the cinema.

Along with Paul Rudd the film also stars Evangeline Lily, Michael Douglas, Hayley Atwell and Corey Stoll.

The film is set for release on the 17th July 

Marvel Phase 3

If you don't already know i am a massive Marvel fan and i am Super excited after the announcement of their upcoming films. Whats not to be excited about they have proved themselves time after time with excellent films.

So what have we got coming up:

Captain America 3 where we are going to be seeing the Civil War story arc where we are going to see Captain America up against Iron Man but also would like to see more of the Falcon.

Guardians Of The Galaxy 2 which is a given after how amazing the first one was. Deffo the biggest hit of the summer.

Avengers 3 which is going to be split up into 2 parts and fingers crossed that all the other films that are out before and in between the two parts will connect the universe together.

Thor Ragnarok which i have read somewhere is going to be linked to Loki (yay glad Tom Hiddleston will be back) initiating some form of apocalypse.

and then we have some new characters being introduced to the universe

DR Strange is the first of the new characters to be introduced but the lead character is yet to be announced but i did hear a rumor that Benedict Cumberbatch was in line for the role

Black Panther has been announced and will be played by Chadwick Boseman, excited for this film and hoping that Black Panther's story line and introduction into this franchise will start before the actual film.

Captain Marvel has also yet to be cast but am happy that Marvel are finally introducing a female superhero with a stand alone film, i did think that this honor would be held by Black Widow but still happy that it is Captain Marvel just curious to see who this is going to be. My suggestion would be someone breaking out into the movie scene and can make the Character there own.

and then there is The Inhumans and to be honest i don't really no a lot about them but the same can be said about Guardians and look how amazing that turned out to be so i trust that Marvel will do the same for the Inhumans.

So Phase 3 takes us up to 2019 and there are other things that i am still holding out for such as either a Hulk film or TV show with Mark Ruffalo because it think it will be amazing. Hopefully if the TV show is good we may get a DareDevil movie. I hope that they can get the rights back for Spider Man as well which hopefully won't be hard after Amazing Spider Man 2. I doubt that they will be able to the get the rights back from Fox for the X Men but it would be nice if they could all be featured in the same film universe.

I know that all these films are going to be good but with the new characters being introduced i hope we are not just going to get an origin story obviously the characters need to be introduced some way but i hope Marvel can do this in a better way than DC have done.

What are you most looking forward to??

Guardians of the Galaxy

I will admit it now i didn't really no much about the Guardians of the Galaxy till i saw the trailers and read a bit about them and the trailer looks awesome.

Guardians of the Galaxy expands the Marvel universe into the far corners of space, where we see Peter Quill aka Star Lord (Chris Pratt) finds himself the object of a manhunt when he steals a mysterious orb from the powerful villain Ronan (Lee Pace). As a result Quill is finds himself in a truce with a quartet of misfits, Rocket (Bradley Cooper) a gun tooting raccoon, Groot (Vin Diesel) a tree like humanoid, Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista) to try and save the galaxy from the people who want to misuse the power of the orb.

The trailer looks really good, and i can't wait to see it.

I have also heard some rumors that this and Avengers 3 could potentially join together and that would make one kickass film.

Other stars include Karen Gillian, John C Riley, Micheal Rooker, and Glen Close.

The film is set for release on the 1st August 2014

Captain America: The Winter Soldier First Trailer

Chris Evans is back as our favourite super soldier Steve Rodger aka Captain America!!!

After the first film we see Captain America wake up in the modern day world and is now part of the shield team working with Black Widow (Scarlette Johansson) and Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) along with The Falcon (Anthony Mackie) as the team up to fight their latest enemy.

The trailer looks awesome and i has me excited already check it out

Reprising their roles from the previous films are Hayley Atwell, Dominic Cooper and Toby Jones, joining them will be Emily VanCamp, Robert Redford, Cobie Smulders and Frank Grillo and not forgetting Stan Lee's cameo.

I am really looking forward to this and hopefully it will lead into the next Avengers film like the previous one did. As well i am looking forward to how they are going to bring the characters from the first film into this one as they all should supposedly be dead so at the moment i am assuming that there are going to be some form of flash backs involved but you never no i could be wrong and they could be alive some how as this is the Marvel world.

The film is due to be released on the 4th April 2014

Thor: The Dark World Trailer

So excited!!!

The first trailer for Thor 2 has just been released showing Chris Hemsworth back as the Norse God of Thunder.

At the end of the first film we see Thor defeat his brother but end up stuck in Asgard with no way to return to earth. In Avengers we see him manage to return to earth some how which i hope gets explained about getting back to earth after the bridge was destroyed in the first one. Any way Thor comes back to earth and kicks some alien ass with the rest of our favourite marvel heroes.

This time around Thor is to face of against Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) and the race known as the Dark Elves. Exciting times!!

Natalie Portman is back as Thor's love interest Jane as well as Kat Dennings, Idris Elba, Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo, Zachery Levi and you can't forget the brilliant Tom Hiddleston as Thor's evil adopted brother Loki.

Alan Taylor, better known for directing the brilliant Game of Thrones is behind the camera replacing Kenneth Branagh.

I am hoping along with Iron Man 3 it will help set up for the next Avengers film as it slowly starts to put the pieces together as it did the last time around.

The trailer looks really good and has me really excited to see more!!

Check it out

The film is due out on the 30th October 2013

Iron Man 3 Trailer

Who else is excited about this???

The official story line to the film is that Tony Stark will have his personal life destroyed by is enemy and this time round it is being played by Sir Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin. The trailer has Tony Stark doing a voice over about how things haven't been right since New York and that he is scared about someone hurting Pepper to get to him. The trailer is action packed with the big moment coming when we see someone fire missiles at Tony Stark's amazing cliff side house, destroying it completely as it falls into the ocean. There is also a small clip of Tony being put under for some sort of medical purposes which looks intriguing. I can't wait to see more!

I love Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark/Iron Man and i loved the last two films plus he was amazing in Avengers. Also back reprising their roles are Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle and Jon Favreu as Pepper Potts, James Rhodes and Happy Hogan, with Paul Bettany voicing Jarvis and I will expect to see a Stan Lee cameo.They will be joined by some new faces that will include Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Stephanie Szostak, James Badge Dale and the already stated Sir Ben Kingsley. Although Jon Favreu directed the first two films he has taken on an executive producer role this time and handed the reins to Shane Black.

I am really looking forward to seeing Iron Man 3 especially after the Avengers and wondering which angle the story will take, will we see any Avengers cameos and is it going to lead into the other films in the franchise. I have high hopes that the story line will be better than the second film as i really didn't like Mickey Rourke as the bad guy so looking forward to seeing Ben Kingsley turn as the villain.

Getting really excited now!! Bring on April

Iron Man 3 is set for release on the 26th April in the UK and the 3rd May in the US.

Marvel Avengers Assemble Box Set

Six movies one box! What could be better?

With the release of the amazing Avengers Assemble on DVD and Blu-ray there of course is a box set with all the movies that make up the Avengers story. I loved the Avengers Assemble and all the other films in the series especially the first Iron Man film i think Robert Downey Jr is great a s Tony Stark and in Avengers his scenes with Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner/Hulk were some of my favourite as well as the incident between The Hulk and Loci (if you have seen the film you will know what i mean) is one of the best made me laugh so much.

The box set include Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger and of course Avengers Assemble for roughly £30 depending on where you get it from. If you haven't already bought the other films in the collection its a great deal because you basically getting all the films for £5 way more than what they would cost individually so its a great deal.

The cheapest i have found the box set was for £29.97 on Amazon so it will be going on my wish list.

The Amazing Spider-Man 4 Minute Preview

THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!

A 4 minute preview of one of this summers biggest movies has been released.

The preview shows more bits and pieces of the up coming Amazing Spider-Man and it is brilliant. We get to see Spider-Man save a kid when the car falls off the bridge plus we get to see some good clips that see Spidey out fighting crime, Peter Parker just trying to be normal and more of Rhys Ifans Lizard. Plus we get to see some great clips of Peter and Gwen.

Taking on the role of Spider-Man is Andrew Garfield and i think he is going to do a way better job than Tobey Maguire did i think Andrew will do better at being Spidey's geeky other half.

Along side Andrew Garfield the film also star Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary and Sally Field.

So excited can not wait till it is released on the 3rd July!!!

 This is a must see film!!!

Avengers 2

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone but Disney have officially announced that Avengers 2 is in development and that it will be released after Iron Man 3, Thor 2 and Captain America 2 which leads me to believe that these three films will set up the story line for Avengers 2 as they all did for the first Avengers film.

I hope that the same cast is reassembled because they all did a great job and they all worked very well together and hopefully Joss Whedon is at the helm.

If you haven't seen the Avengers yet, do, because it was brilliant, one of the best superhero films i have seen.

Also check out my review of the Avengers!!!

Ruffalo to return as The Hulk

Mark Ruffalo could be coming back as our favourite green monster The Hulk at up to 6 appearances in the deal he has just signed for Marvel. At first when i heard he was going to be playing The Hulk i was trying to work out how this mainly indie actor was going to pull it off but his performance as Banner was one of the better that i have seen (predecessors Eric Baner and Edward Norton) and one of my highlights of the film, he managed to play the part of the scientist really well and was very believable, his scenes with Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark were some of the best scenes in the film as Tony tries to get Banner to unleash the monster with in which he has tried so hard to keep under control. Ruffalo does a great job playing the polar opposites of the Banner's personality almost like a Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde, by day he's this quiet scientist and by night he's this big green angry monster who he has no control over.  As the Hulk there are some great comical scenes during the fighting period which made everyone in the cinema laugh out loud, they were brilliant.

So I wonder what films he could be a part of Iron Man 3 or Thor 2 which are set for release in 2013 (can't wait), maybe Captain America 2 (its only been announced no dates have been issued yet) or maybe in a new Hulk film and possibly a chance of another Avengers film (fingers crossed) all in all i will be interested in how he can further develop the character and can't wait to see more from him.

You can see Ruffalo in the Avengers now!!

Don't forget to check out The Avengers review

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!!!

Certificate: 12A  Director: Joss Whedon Cast: Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffallo, Tom Hiddleston and Samuel L Jackson Distributor: Marvel Studios Running Time: 142mins

I have been looking forward to seeing this film for over a year practically counting down the days till i could see it. With this film if you haven't seen the other films that are part of the series Iorn Man, Captain America and in particular Thor to catch up on what has all ready happened prior to the film.
The story line to this film is the same as most of the Superhero films is the "end of the world" brought about by Thors brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston, this is where you have to have seen the film Thor to understand the family drama between the two) is after a cube of some sorts, now called the Teseract (seen in Captain America) which has enough power to end the world and he has teamed up with some form of aliens to take over the world.

The cast that has been assembled for this film is what really makes the film and the way in which Joss Wheedon has directed the film is brilliant, every character is focused upon at some point during the film and after the usual power struggles that are seen on the screen to unite as a team is one a brilliant thing, Whedon doesn't focus just on one of the characters but makes sure that they each have their share of screen time which is one of the critical things that make this film work. The Cast is superb and they work really well together even though the characters have really big egos on their own and you wouldn't think they would work well together and that is one of the doubts through out the film. Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark/Iron Man is brilliant as he always is, some great lines and jokes and he has great scenes with everybody, plus i love how he spends the whole film in a Black Sabbath T-Shirt. Chris Hemmsworth as the God of Thunder Thor arrives in a bolt of lightening to try and stop his brother from destroying the world. Chris Evans as Steve Rodgers/Captain America has arrived in the modern world not knowing what anything is all he know is how to save the world. Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye and Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romenoff/Black Widow are the master assassins who are member of shield, if you watch Thor closely you will see the Hawkeye's cameo and Black Widow was introduced in Iron Man 2 and are bad ass at what they do, i wouldn't want to mess with them. Samuel L Jackson as Nick Furry is the director of SHIELD and brings all our hero's together to save the world. Mark Ruffalo is the new guy on the block playing Bruce Banner/Hulk i think makes the film as the Hulk he has some great stand out moments and Bruce and Tony have some great screen moments together. It wouldn't be a Marvel film without a cameo from their creator Stan Lee so make sure you keep an eye out for it.

The big fight scene between the Avengers and Loki and his army is brilliant the special effects and how it has all been staged is fantastic especially some of the creatures from the other world.
I loved this film, the action was incredible and the story line was good as it made sure everyone linked together cohesively. I would suggest that everyone should go see this film.

Rating: 9.5/10
