Directed by Matt Shakman (WandaVision (2021), The Fantastic Four – First Steps is the story of Marvel’s First Family.

Starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, balancing family time with the demands of defending Earth is a key part of this action/adventure/sci-fi story.

I’ll admit that I cannot say my film-loving senses came fully alive while this teaser trailer played. Except maybe when I saw and heard Pedro Pascal. Beyond that, the musical score sounds good.

As a non-reader of comic books, I’ll wait and see what the next trailer has in store. In the meantime, it’s perhaps worth remembering that I wasn’t very enthused by The Avengers (2012) trailer. Yet, after many positive responses from friends, I decided to watch and ended up exiting the cinema with a massive smile on my face.

What are your thoughts on this Marvel ‘period piece?’

Sarah Niles, Julia Garner, Natasha Lyonne, John Malkovich, Ralph Ineson and Paul Walter Hauser also star.

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Jurassic World – Rebirth (2025).

Directed by Gareth Edwards, Jurassic World Rebirth, the latest trailer for the new instalment of the Jurassic Park movie franchise is here. is

Starring Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey and Rupert Friend, the story is set five years after Jurassic World Dominion (2022), when an expedition, in the name of extracting DNA for a groundbreaking medical breakthrough, decides to brave isolated equatorial regions.

This looks promising. I like that it’s a different angle on the Jurassic Park story. The dinosaurs and Monsieur Bailey are my main reasons I’m drawn to it.

Additionally, this story reminds me a little of the rather fun Kong, Skull Island (2017). Perhaps Bailey will bring a similar magic to that brought by Tom Hiddleston in Kong Skull island.

How do you feel about this rebirth?

It’s time for the next trailer instalment for fantasy/sci-fi/adventure/comedy, Mickey 17.

Starring Robert Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo and Steven Yeun, Mickey 17 is written/directed by Bong Joon Ho, the man behind my favourite film of the last 10 years, Parasite (2019).

I may have mentioned it in my response to the Mickey 17 teaser trailer released months ago, but, I’m into this for all the obvious reasons, but certainly also to see all the shots that show us the wonderfully humorous appearance of Mark Ruffalo’s character.

I don’t think I even need to ask if you’ll watch this one. So, instead, I ask: When are you buying your ticket?

Toni Collette, Angus Imrie, Steve Park, Thomas Turgoose, Afolabi Alli, Patsy Ferran, Chelsea Li, Angus Imrie and Daniel Henshall also star.

Mickey 17 Release Dates: March 7th, 2025 (US & UK)…

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON (2025): New Trailer Starring Gerard Butler, Mason Thames, Nico Parker…

6 Comments

Mason Thames, Gerard Butler and Nico Parker make up the main cast for the live-action film How To Train Your Dragon (HTTYD), a DreamWorks animation.

Based on the books by Cressida Cowell and directed by Dean DeBlois, HTTYD follows a young Viking with aspirations to hunt dragons. That is until he befriends one.

My taste in animated movies is quite specific, and HTTYG never appealed because it didn’t quite fit the criteria until this new trailer.

Perhaps it’s the sight of Butler, coupled with his great voice. Honestly, it’s mainly the father/son dynamic. I’m curious how Butler’s character will come to terms with his non-dragon-killing Viking son. I like stories about people getting the acceptance they need. I’m guessing that’s where this story will be going.

Will you be tuning in? It’s okay if a key reason happens to be Butler.

Julian Dennison, Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, Harry Trevaldwyn, Nick Frost, Ruth Codd, Murray McArthur, Nick Cornwall and Samuel Johnson also star.

THE ELECTRIC STATE (2025): New Trailer From Chris Pratt, Millie Bobby Brown, Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrelson…

6 Comments

Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt’s latest movie The Electric State is a sci-fi/action/adventure about an orphaned teen (Brown) and her two companions as they search for her younger brother.

Directed by brothers Anthony and Joe Russo; Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrelson, Ann Russo and Greg Cromer are among the key cast.

Hmmmm…?

Some questions: Why does this feel silly but not in a great way? Why does Pratt’s character’s hair at 30 seconds into the trailer make me giggle each time I see it?

This may be one of those movies that’s not for me. Yet, I remain curious to see how it ends up and if my initial instincts are proved correct.

What do you think?

Vince Pisani, Camrus Johnson, Kurt Loder, Giancarlo Esposito, Necar Zadegan, Billy Gardell, Colman Domingo, Anthony Mackie and Jordan Black also star.

The Electric State Release Dates: March 14th, 2025 (US & UK)…
