“Deadpool 2” New Trailer And Poster; Reveals Cable

Posted on by

By Creative Media Times

Marvel Entertainment . 20th Century Fox


“Deadpool 2” introduces Josh Brolin’s villain character Cable in the latest trailer for 20th Century’s summer tentpole. “I was born into war, bred into it. People think they understand pain, but they have no concept of it,” says an intense time travelling cybernetic mutant soldier Cable.

But once Ryan Reynolds’s goofy, snarky superhero Deadpool sees Cable’s arm looking like an unfinished green screen, he interrupts the introduction. “Why are the visual effects not done? It’s a metal arm! It’s not like we’re trying to remove a mustache!,” an obvious dig at the digitally removed mustache of Henry Cavill in Justice League.

With the exception of Cable’s introduction, the title character’s trademark wisecracks and quick shots of returning characters from the original, the trailer is light on plot details overall. Which in this age of spoilerific trailers and adverts can only be a good thing.

The Canadian actor has been teasing fans with various images from the film since production. Yesterday was one of those days, releasing the film’s hilarious and strangely amusing “Flashdance” inspired new poster on Twitter.

Directed by David Leitch, from a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, Deadpool 2 also stars Morena Baccarin, T. J. Miller, Leslie Uggams, Brianna Hildebrand and Jack Kesy.

Deadpool 2 is set to storm theaters this summer on May 18.

Here’s the film’s official synopsis:

After surviving a near fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) struggles to fulfill his dream of becoming Mayberry’s hottest bartender while also learning to cope with his lost sense of taste. Searching to regain his spice for life, as well as a flux capacitor, Wade must battle ninjas, the yakuza, and a pack of sexually aggressive canines, as he journeys around the world to discover the importance of family, friendship, and flavor – finding a new taste for adventure and earning the coveted coffee mug title of World’s Best Lover.

Netflix


After the release of the teaser last year, Netflix has now unveiled the full trailer for “Jessica Jones”, giving us an idea what we can expect the second season will be about.

The trailer shows our tough-as-nails protagonist (Krysten Ritter) at the bar, drinking away her tragic past.

This was followed by quick cuts of the mysteries that the hero will be dealing with, the gruesome death of her parents, the clandestine experiments that gave her powers, and chasing her tormentors as she discover what happened to her. “It takes a monster to stop a monster,” she says. And with her investigations, she learns that they may be others like her. “How many others are there?,” she asks an unknown character.

All in all, it seems to be in an excellent spot of being an exciting, action-packed superhero movie while also addressing more weighty issues.

Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones) is joined by an incredible returning cast that includes Rachael Taylor (Trish Walker), Carrie-Anne Moss (Jeri Hogarth), Eka Darville (Malcolm Ducasse) and new cast members Janet McTeer and J.R. Ramirez, among others.

Marvel’s JESSICA JONES on Netflix is Executive Produced by series Showrunner Melissa Rosenberg (“Twilight”, “Dexter”), Raelle Tucker (“True Blood”), Jim Chory (“Marvel’s Daredevil”, “Marvel’s Luke Cage”, “Marvel’s Iron Fist”) and Jeph Loeb (“Marvel’s Daredevil”, “Marvel’s Luke Cage”, “Marvel’s Iron Fist”) who also serves as Marvel’s Head of Television.

Jessica Jones is set to return to Netflix on March 8.

Here’s the synopsis for the second season of Jessica Jones:

New York City private investigator Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) is beginning to put her life back together after murdering her tormenter, Kilgrave. Now known throughout the city as a super-powered killer, a new case makes her reluctantly confront who she really is while digging deeper into her past to explore the reasons why.

Chris Claremont came to Marvel as a young man, and was assigned a book that no one else wanted, a book on the brink of cancellation: X-Men. Over the next 17 years, his work on the title turned it into the biggest franchise in comic book history. Forty years later, his work has been adapted into ten films, three TV series, countless video games and has become a part of our cultural mythology.

This extended version of the documentary provides an expanded story with more background on Claremont and his two original collaborators, Ann Nocenti and Louise Simonson, revealing secrets into what made them a great team. Viewers will also gain insight into Claremont’s childhood and see what helped make the connection between him and the series outsider heroes. There is also a look at the franchises’ films and TV shows, including Claremont’s key role in launching X-Men and his thoughts on seeing his creations come to life, from the first X-Men film to the recent “Legions” TV series and the upcoming NEW MUTANTS film.

With over 40 minutes of new footage, the VOD also contains never-seen-before interviews with Rob Liefled (Deadpool creator), Marc Silvestri (artist) and hard-core fans who share the impact both Claremont and the comics have made on them.

By Creative Media Times

Universal Pictures

Returning Kaiju means action galore, and in the latest Pacific Rim Uprising trailer, released by Legendary Pictures on Wednesday, there is no shortage of monster versus giant mech smackdown.

“How did they get into our world?” asks Jake Pentecost (son of Idris Elba’s Stacker Pentecost from the first Pacific Rim). “Someone let them in,” returning character Dr. Gottlieb replies. “Someone from our world.”

While the first trailer focused more on Boyega’s character, this new one shows more details about the story, a new human landscape since the initial attack, some jaeger vs. jaeger action, and more importantly a kaiju-jaeger hybrid. Surprise!

To hype the new trailer, Universal Pictures and Legendary also released a brand new poster for Pacific Rim Uprising.

Steven S. DeKnight (Daredevil) took over the reins as director after Guillermo del Toro stepped aside to focus on The Shape of Water, a decision that clearly paid off given its current multiple awards run. Del Toro is credited for the story.

‘Uprising’ picks up ten years after the events of the Battle of the Breach in the The 2013 original, when the Jaeger program has become a powerful global defense force, and the Pan Pacific Defense Corps calls upon a new generation of elite fighters against Kaiju threat.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi‘s John Boyega is trading starships for Jaegers in the sequel as Jake, while Scott Eastwood is his partner Jaeger pilot Nate Lambert. Joining Boyega and Eastwood are Pacific Rim alums Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi, and Burn Gorman.

Pacific Rim: Uprising is scheduled to stomp into theaters on March 23, 2018.
