The West Coast Avengers are getting back together – with an all-new team! This August, join Kate Bishop, Clint Barton, America Chavez, Gwenpool, Quentin Quire, and Fuse (a.k.a. Johnny, Kate’s way-in-over-his-head boyfriend) in a brand new story from Marvel exclusive writer Kelly Thompson (Hawkeye, Rogue & Gambit) and Stefano Caselli (Invincible Iron Man).

“They all need and want something from being on that team together,” Thompson told Marvel.com in an official announcement. “Kate needs to help save LA, and she needs help to do that because villains have taken notice that there are no Super Heroes out there. I think there’s part of her that misses [being on a team] too.”

“What’s done is done when we say it’s done,” says Ethan Hunt in the latest trailer for “Mission: Impossible – Fallout”.

Paramount Pictures

Cruise himself posted the trailer on his Twitter account, and its packed full of daredevil stunts, thrilling practical effects and impressive set pieces that we have come to expect from Cruise and the highly successful franchise.

We also get to see more of Cruise’s Hunt in fights with mustached Cavill as brutal assassin August Walker. It is an interesting dynamics, where Cruise is on the run once again while Cavill keeps him on his toes and has shoot to kill orders if Hunt goes rogue.

Some might remember that Cruise broke his ankle during filming after a dangerous stunt gone awry where the actor leaped from one building to another. The injury shut down the film’s production for more than two months to allow the actor’s injury to heal. Its right here on the trailer, and certainly makes the footage more intense.

The Mission: Impossible film franchise is one of the most successful of all-time, with a worldwide gross of over $2.7 billion to date. Judging by these new promotional materials, the film seem set to deliver some more crazy action this summer.

Franchise regulars Michelle Monaghan, Simon Pegg, and Ving Rhames are back as well as Rebecca Ferguson and Alec Baldwin who were standouts in 2015’s Rogue Nation. Vanessa Kirby is a new addition, as well Angela Bassett who plays a CIA official.

Directed by frequent Cruise collaborator Christopher McQuarrie, who previously helmed Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation, Mission: Impossible – Fallout is scheduled for release on July 27, 2018.

“Lois Lane” Margot Kidder Dies At 69

Posted on by

By Creative Media Times

Actress Margot Kidder passed away Sunday at her home in Livingston, Montana. She was 69 years old.

The Canadian-American actress appeared in 135 films and television shows, including Brian De Palma’s cult thriller Sisters (1973), The Great Waldo Pepper (1975) opposite Robert Redford, and the hit horror film The Amityville Horror (1979).

But it was her role as a plucky reporter Lois Lane in the 1978 Richard Donner film “Superman” with Christopher Reeve that would invigorate her career. The film at that time, was one of the most expensive ever made and later became one of the highest grossing films of the year.

It is considered by many as inspiration for today’s comic book films. Kidder would continue to play the role for its sequels “Superman II” (1980), “Superman III” (1983) and “Superman IV: The Quest for Peace” (1987).

Reeve was paralyzed in a horseback riding accident in 1995 before he died died in 2004. In 1996, Kidder told in an interview with Barbara Walters that she had struggled with mental illness for decades.

The past few years, Kidder have been away from the spotlight, and spent most of time living in Montana.

New “Incredibles 2” Baby Jack-Jack

Walt Disney Studios

If this latest trailer is any indication, it looks like Jack-Jack is about to steal the show as Pixar/Disney has just released the latest TV spot for the “Incredibles 2”.

And just in time for Mother’s Day, we also get to see the superhero clan’s matriarch, Elastigirl (Holly Hunter), now apparently a spokesperson for superheroes, front and center. “So things haven’t spiraled out of control the moment I left?,” she says over the phone after her busy day of fighting crime and campaigning for the return of “supers.”

The latest trailer is definitely more action packed than what we have seen so far as Disney enters the stretch of the film’s promos leading to its release in a month.

The original film grossed $633 million worldwide in 2004 and received the Annie Award for Best Animated Feature. The Incredibles also won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

Disney-Pixar originally slated the film to 2019 but later switched release dates with “Toy Story 4.” “Incredibles 2” will hit cinemas on June 15, 2018.

Legendary singer-songwriter Paul Anka is apparently working on “something” with fellow Canadian that is set for release in June. Anaka revealed the news at Canadian Music And Broadcast Industry Awards, according to Billboard.

“I’m working with a brilliant young artist who is as hot as you can get right now, a fellow young Canadian and his name is Drake. We recorded something that will be released, out in June. That’s all I can tell you,” Anka said as he accepted his Lifetime Achievement Award from Michael Bublé.

This announcement aligns with Anka’s post on Instagram a few months ago which shows him pictured with Drake in the studio. “One of the great nights…lots to follow! Love working with Drake!,” says the iconic crooner.

Undoubtedly, Drake is certainly as hot as one can get. He is currently at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with “Nice for What” which replaced his own song “God’s Plan” after the latter topped the charts for 11 weeks.

Last month, The Toronto rapper announced his upcoming fifth studio album “Scorpion” which is set for release in, yes you got it, June 2018. Though not a lot is revealed about the project, this summer is looking like another major month for Drake.
