After Wonder Woman views the mural, the clip cuts to the aforementioned villain on the planet Apokolips where he gathers a massive army.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Taylor Swift posted on Twitter, along with the official trailer for her upcoming Netflix documentary film, “Miss Americana”.
The streaming service describes Miss Americana as a revealing documentary, wherein Swift “embraces her role as a songwriter and performer — and as a woman harnessing the full power of her voice.”
The trailer shows plenty of private footage of the superstar, talking about her life as an artist in the public eye, clips from her tours and red carpets, and a brief glimpse of her backstage hugging boyfriend actor Joe Alwyn.
“I became the person everyone wanted me to be,” Swift says in the trailer. “I had to deconstruct an entire belief system, toss it out and reject it.”
Directed by Emmy-winning director Lana Wilson, “Miss Americana” is set to debut today, Thursday at the Sundance Film Festival.
It is currently set for release on Netflix and select theaters on January 31.
Sony’s own Spidey-verse seem to be taking shape with the release of Morbius trailer, revealing a surprise appearance of Micheal Keaton’s Vulture, a character which appeared in “Spider-Man: Homecoming”.
Morbius features Jared Leto as the title character Michael Morbius, who’s suffering from a rare blood disease and tries a dangerous cure that afflicts him with a form of vampirism. The film is set to lay out the origins of the character.
In the comics, he is one of villains that Spider-Man has faced over the years, and first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #101 (October 1971).
With the boxoffice success of Venom in 2018, another character associated with Spider-Man, it is not unrealistic to imagine all these characters to cross over at some point in the future.
Last year, it was reported that Spider-Man would no longer be a member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe due to Sony and Marvel standoff over co-financing. Sony has film rights to the character since before Disney bought Marvel in 2009. This was somewhat resolved after the two studios announced a third co-produced Spider-Man movie.
Also in Morbius are Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal and Tyrese Gibson. Directed by Daniel Espinosa, “Morbius” is set for release on July 31, 2020.
It was just two years ago when John Krasinski completely transformed his career; when his modestly-budgeted horror directorial debut, “A Quiet Place” became a massive commercial and critical hit.
Now he’s back behind the camera for the highly-anticipated sequel, “A Quiet Place Part II.” On New Year’s Day, Paramount Pictures released the film’s stunning first full-length trailer.
The trailer shows us a few flash backs of how it all started, showing Emily Blunt’s character Evelyn, driving her kids amidst the street chaos and glimpses of monsters on the loose.
The family runs away, searches for a safe haven as well as the father Lee (John Krasinski), who didn’t appear in the trailer. We know now that they survived that ordeal based on what transpired on the first film.
The trailer then picks up shortly after the events of the original. We see the The Abbotts leaving their home as their farm burns. They journey by foot into an unknown ghost town, baby in tow. Later we see another survivor, Cillian Murphy’s character, who seem determined to cut contact with other humans.
“The people that are left are not the kind of people worth saving,” Murphy’s character warned Evelyn, suggesting there might be more to the terrifying monsters than what we have seen so far. There is also Djimon Hounsou, but details of his character is unclear.
It remains to be seen how much of the film takes place in the past. But its an intense and slick trailer, and looks to be a much bigger undertaking for Krasinski. This certainly looks like another winner for the actor-director, who is also working for his own script.
Paramount Pictures is set to release “A Quiet Place: Part II” on March 20, 2020.
Here’s the film’s official synopsis, for those who can’t resist:
“Following the deadly events at home, the Abbott family (Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe) must now face the terrors of the outside world as they continue their fight for survival in silence. Forced to venture into the unknown, they quickly realize that the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats that lurk beyond the sand path.”
The past couple of years saw the director tackle fantasy films including this summer’s Disney’s live-action version of Aladdin, and 2017’s King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.
The upcoming star-studded action crime “The Gentlemen” is a return to familiar territory for Guy Ritchie, who wrote and directed the film starring Matthew McConaughey.
The action-packed trailer has that look and feel that recall the director’s earlier works such as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch.
Also co-starring in the the film are Charlie Hunnam, Henry Golding, Michelle Dockery, Jeremy Strong, Eddie Marsan, Colin Farrell and Hugh Grant.
The Gentlemen is set to be released by STXfilms on January 24, 2020
Here’s the film’s official synopsis:
THE GENTLEMEN follows American expat Mickey Pearson (Matthew McConaughey) who built a highly profitable marijuana empire in London. When word gets out that he’s looking to cash out of the business forever it triggers plots, schemes, bribery and blackmail in an attempt to steal his domain out from under him.
The film is an official selection of Sundance 2020. From acclaimed writer/director Eliza Hittman, Never Rarely Sometimes Always is in theaters this March. Watch the trailer now.
The American-British drama film stars Sidney Flanigan, Talia Ryder, Théodore Pellerin, Ryan Eggold and Sharon Van Etten
Director Christopher Nolan returns to his time-traveling roots, this time within the world international espionage in “Tenet,” with the film’s first trailer released today.
Like many of Nolan’s film, there is not a lot of details about the plot of the upcoming action thriller, which Nolan also wrote, as well as produced with Emma Thomas.
Here we see John David Washington as a mysterious agent of a top-secret group who may (or may not) be trying to prevent World War III. There’s plenty of cryptic dialogue, a car chase and a few things going in reverse that recall Nolan’s other mind-bender, 2010’s blockbuster Inception.
The film is stacked with big-name talents including Robert Pattinson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Michael Caine, Kenneth Branagh and Elizabeth Debicki.
Last month, Warner Bros. also announced that a longer prologue for Tenet will be shown before Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in some IMAX screenings, something the studio also did with Nolan’s other films including “The Dark Knight,” “The Dark Knight Rises,” and “Dunkirk.”
Tenet is set for release on July 17th, 2020. #tenet #nolan
