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.

GLADIATOR II (2024): New Trailer Starring Denzel Washington, Paul Mescal, Pedro, Joseph Quinn, Connie Nielsen…

12 Comments

Ridley Scott’s epic Gladiator (2000) finally has a sequel and it stars Denzel Washington, Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, Pedro Pascal and Connie Nielsen.

Following Maximus’s death, the story picks up with Lucius, the son of Maximus’s love Lucilla.

I’ll start by saying that the original Gladiator film is the first movie I watched that was so impressive that it left me speechless. Now that I have seen the trailer for the follow-up, as harsh as it sounds, it appears I may be wise to lower my expectations.

Much of this trailer just isn’t clicking for me right now, and that’s before mentioning the ill-advised soundtrack.

As wonderful as the actors are, I’m not getting the expected epic vibe as I watch this. Dare I say, so far, Gladiator II is feeling oddly lower budget. Plus, I already miss Russell Crowe’s Maximus Decimus Meridius.

It also looks like I’ll have to see one more Pedro Pascal character slain in another one-on-one battle, just like his much-loved Oberyn (my favourite character) in Game of Thrones. That’s not necessarily something I want to see again.

With all the above in mind, I may have to hold back before I buy my ticket. I hope I’m wrong – and may well be. But what do you think?

Fred Hechinger, Alexander Karim, Derek Jacobi, Chidi Ajufo, Peter Mensah, Rory McCann, Riana Duce, May Calamawy, Tim McInnerny, Alec Utgoff and Matt Lucas also star.

Gladiator II Release Dates: November 15th 2024 (UK); November 22nd, 2024 (US)…

Based on creator Timothée Hochet’s French series of the same name, Calls is a new show that tells the mysterious story of a group of strangers who’s lives are thrown into disarray, in the lead-up to an apocalyptic event.

Told through real-life audio sources and minimal visuals, Calls stars Pedro Pascal, Rosario Dawson, Lily Collins, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Aubrey Plaza.

I’ll give this a chance to find out if it actually works. Because something tells me I might miss seeing the person/people on at least one side of the conversation.

Remember Tom Hardy’s very impressive Locke (2013), when we could see his character but only hear the people he was speaking to on the phone; yet it worked perfectly? Perhaps this, too, will surprise us all and exceed all expectations. One can hope.

Directed by Fede Álvarez; additional key cast includes Nick Jonas, Jennifer Tilly, Ben Schwartz, Jaeden Martell, Riley Keough and Joey King.

Calls Release Dates: March 19th, Apple TV+

Read my spoiler-free movie review of  Wonder woman 1984 (2020).

Patty Jenkins returns to direct the sequel to Wonder Woman (2017), Wonder Woman 1984.

Pedro Pascal, Gal Gadot, Chris Pine and Robin Wright are among the key cast.

Interesting…

How is Steve alive? Why 1984? This trailer isn’t bad but why did I think it would be as thrilling as the fantastic trailer for Wonder Woman (2017)?

Right now, I only have the answer for one of those questions.

Kristen Wiig, Connie Nielsen, Spencer Trinwith, Jamal Alkhaldi, Chris Silcox, Rick Kelvin Branch, Justin Sisk and Thomas Clay Strickland also star.

TRIPLE FRONTIER (2019): New Trailer From Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Pedro Pascal, Garrett Hedlund, Charlie Hanum…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Triple Frontier (2019).

Directed by J.C. Chandor; Triple Frontier stars  Charlie Hunnam, Ben Affleck, Pedro Pascal, Garrett Hedlund and Oscar Isaac.

This one is an action/adventure where five former Special Forces operatives plan a heist in a sparsely populated multi-border zone of South America. A major heist that turns into an epic battle for survival.

Seeing the hurt in Isaac’s character’s eyes, I wonder how much sympathy these guys are going to get out of me. Either way, I’m hoping for a thrilling adventure, and with a cast as strong as this one, the chances should be good.

Adria Arjona, Sheila Vand and Reynaldo Gallegos also star.

Triple Frontier Release Dates: March 13th, 2019 (US & UK), (Internet)…
