AQUAMAN Conquers Land And Sea In The Official Trailer

Warner Bros. went two-for-two this weekend with at least two of its properties at SDCC 2018, one of them being the latest trailer premiere for James Wan’s new adaptation, Aquaman. The DCEU hasn’t been easy for the studio to attain a pulse for in bringing a consensus from DC fans, some of whom still may keen on seeing actor Jason Momoa don the role after Justice League. The good news is that the role still suits him more than adequately. From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman,” starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is […]

SHAZAM! Endures Superhero Growing Pains In The Official Trailer

Lee B. Golden III

David Sandberg’s own treatment of DC property, Shazam!, may unofficially share space with the previous DCEU films. However, clearly this one is standing on its own two jolly feet with Zachary Levi and Asher Angel playing the respective alteregos of our title superhero in the new action adventure, as the official trailer proudly shows this weekend. We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip […]

Long Live The King In The First Official Trailer For GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS

Lee B. Golden III

Gareth Edwards’ 2014 re-installment of Toho’s iconic monster franchise, Godzilla, got the ball rolling for a new franchise that once teetered into potential King Kong territory; The addition of Kong: Skull Island certainly helps and so hopefully that day will still come as it’s a matter of time before we eventually find out. In the meantime, the good folks at Legendary and Warner Bros. have instead resolved to follow-up with a sprawling new sequel to queue more monster movie fanfare next year with Godzilla: King Of The Monsters, and the premiere trailer this weekend during events at San Diego Comic-Con doles out plenty of beasts to whet the appetite. The new story follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When […]

MAYANS M.C.: Don’t Miss The Official Series Trailer For Kurt Sutter’s ‘Sons Of Anarchy’ Spin-Off

Lee B. Golden III

Kurt Sutter’s hit series, Sons Of Anarchy, was certainly one of the most immersive and brutal drama shows to hit the airwaves when it premiered ten years ago. Actor Charlie Hunnam shepherded the sprawling seven-season saga as Jax Teller, the heir to a biker club at the center of one supercharged and bloody story about family, secrets, romance, social commentaty, retribution and redemption. Its series finale in 2014 was a fair play, delivering an emotional ending that left fans likely wanting more. Alas, the announcement of a spin-off series two years later got the ball rolling and with events underway at San Diego Comic Con to promote the newest evolution, Mayans M.C., a first official trailer went live this week with word of a September 4 premiere on FX. Set in a post Jax Teller world, where EZ Reyes — fresh out of prison — is a prospect in the […]

Marvel’s IRON FIST: Season Two Premieres This September On Netflix!

Lee B. Golden III

I can’t really stress enough the kind of justice Cheo Hodari Coker did for actor Finn Jones’s cameo episode with Mike Colter in this year’s second season of Luke Cage. Jones’ series debut as Marvel superhero and Defender-to-be, Iron Fist, wasn’t the best received which cast an even better light on the compelling and chilling drama centered on his co-stars Tom Pelphrey and Jessica Stroup. That was largely a “grey area” factor in enjoying the first season which reasonably didn’t do much for a series meant to garner notable press for its martial arts action spectacle. Clearly, some things needed chaging going into season two and in the wake of having premiered exclusive footage for the comic-con crowd in San Diego on Thursday evening, the reactions overall seem much more optimistic. Marvel Television announced a premiere date for September 7 in its new teaser to help set the tone accordingly […]
