Because trouble comes in all sizes.
As 2024 approaches, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) continues to dominate the global box office and captivate audiences around the world. With over a decade of storytelling, beloved characters, and groundbreaking visual effects, Marvel Studios shows no signs of slowing down. We decided to take a closer look at the state of Marvel Studio movies and explore what lies ahead.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has brought the hype. As the June 2023 release date looms large, one last trailer just dropped. If fans weren’t already excited, this new preview elevates the stakes.
After much anticipation, Marvel has released our first real look at The Eternals. One thing is for certain, this film will be different than any other MCU film to date.
Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is being subjected to some rather unfriendly MCU (Marvel Cinema Universe) negotiations. In the latest breaking news, Sony and Marvel Studios have been unable to reach an agreement that would have given Disney a co-financing stake moving forward. The Marvel Cinema Universe future plans are in jeopardy.
A new Marvel movie trailer for Captain America: Civil War arrived to kick off Thanksgiving Day in 2015. The timing of the release couldn’t be better. Every year millions of Americans endure internal family strife in one form or another during the holiday season. Still, hope springs eternal. Movie fans can’t help feeling that despite the differences their onscreen heroes may have, they’ll emerge a more unified bunch in the end.
Admittedly I knew very little about Marvel’s comic book hero Ant-Man. But I’d been following Paul Rudd’s career for years. He’s the type of actor who seems like a great guy in real life which comes across on screen in nearly every performance he’s given to date. I believe his innate charisma, much like Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) and Chris Pratt (Peter Quill aka Star-Lord), was a factor in Mr. Rudd being cast for the lead role. Still, star power comprises only one piece of the puzzle needed to create a successful action blockbuster. Story matters above all. Ant-Man, the tiniest of Marvel’s superheroes, packs the biggest heart.
About a year ago, I read that Marvel Studios was producing a movie titled “Guardians of the Galaxy” which would be based on characters from the comic book series. Admittedly I’d never heard of these Marvel characters before. The movie trailer offered a glimpse of the story yet ultimately left me feeling perplexed. Was it supposed to be a screwball action comedy? After all, the lead character, Peter Quill aka Star Lord, was being played by Chris Pratt, an actor best known for his portrayal of Andy Dwyer on the relatively obscure comedy television series “Parks and Recreation”. Also, what exactly was the deal with the 1970s based music soundtrack? In the time it took me to consume a cool tasty beverage, I concluded a science fiction movie with its roots and music from the 1970s had to be worth a look. Besides, it worked for “Star Wars”, right?
Marvel Studios continues its production of Super Hero based movies with the upcoming release of Guardians of the Galaxy. Unlike its more mainstream characters such as Spider-Man, Iron Man and Thor, the Guardians of the Galaxy will be the first introduction for many to Peter Quill, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Groot, and Rocket. Check out the teaser trailer as well as the images below for a preview.
