Director James Gunn’s Superman reboot has a good-looking new trailer, starring Nicolas Hoult, Rachel Brosnahan, David Corenswet and Isabela Merced.

It’s likely safe to say that Corenswet is a good choice for Superman. Nevertheless, after watching this trailer, Hoult’s Lex Luthor is who I can’t wait to see. I’m hoping I don’t find myself arrested by his performance, the way I was by Heath Ledger’s Joker, because spending more than half the movie desperately wanting your favourite character to reappear on screen again and again is not that fun.

Who has you most enchanted, the villain or our hero?

Milly Alcock, Wendell Pierce, Mikaela Hoover, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Skyler Gisondo, Terence Rosemore, Will Reeve, Sean Gunn her, Christopher McDonald, Anthony Carrigan and Loren Qualls also star.

The first trailer with David Corenswet as the new Clark Kent/Superman is upon us.

Directed by James Gunn, and with Nicolas Hoult as Lex Luthor, plus Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, we’ll get to watch Superman grapple with his heritage and human upbringing while being the embodiment of truth and justice.

Isabela Merced, Frank Grillo, Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion are among the key cast.

It just occurred to me that a big part of the reason why Captain America is my Favourite Marvel Superhero is that his character and attributes remind me of the superhero who first stole my heart, Superman.

I still haven’t seen the Henry Cavil Superman films yet. My schedule was too Marvel-heavy around that time. However, I’m looking forward to what new energy Corenswet will bring. Based on this teaser trailer, I’d say things are looking good, even though there seems to be A LOT going on.

Skyler Gisondo, Milly Alcock, Will Reeve, Wendell Pierce, Sean Gunn, Mikaela Hoover, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Anthony Carrigan, Terence Rosemore, Christopher McDonald and Loren Qualls also star.

ALIEN – ROMULUS (2024): New Trailer Starring Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Cailee Spaeny, Archie Renaux,…

Produced by Ridley Scott; Fede Alvarez is the director of the latest Alien movie, Alien – Romulus.

Isabela Merced, Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson and Archie Renaux play a group of young space colonisers who find themselves far from alone on the derelict space station they are scavenging.

A part of me doesn’t want to miss out because this trailer looks good. Yet, experiencing Alien – Romulus the only way my nightmare aversion can allow, through the trailer is what I’ll likely end up doing.

How curious are you? Will you be making time for the fresh nightmares this new instalment is likely to bring?

Aileen Wu and Spike Fearn also star.

Alien – Romulus Release Dates: August 16th (US & UK)…

ROSALINE (2022): The Things I Liked…

One of the best things about streaming services is that when you encounter a portion of a film/show that you’re disinterested in, you can skip right ahead to the parts that fully engage you. 

I generally don’t fast-forward most movies, but I did at least once with Rosaline, the new Karen Maine-directed comedy/romance, which functions as a reimagining of Romeo and Juliet. 

In Maine’s story, this time, as you may have guessed, the protagonist is not Romeo but instead Rosaline, Romeo’s love interest before his beloved Juliet. 

Starring Kaitlyn Dever, Bradley Whitford, Isabela Merced, Minnie Driver, Sean Teale and Kyle Allen, Rosaline is an easy-viewing experience that often serves up giggles and smiles for its audience. Charming, satisfying and creatively reimagined are some words that fit.

It would have been better if I never had to skip forward that one time as Rosaline played. Still, I’m happy to have been amused. And with that, I say, watch Rosaline if you’re especially curious to see a re-write of one of William Shakespeare’s most beloved plays.

Happy Film Loving
