THUNDERBOLTS* (2025): New Trailer Starring Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell…

6 Comments

Being forced to confront the darkest corners of their pasts is what’s in store for the unconventional team of antiheroes in Marvel Entertainment’s new action/fantasy/adventure, Thunderbolts*

Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell and David Harbour are among the key cast while Jake Schreier directs.

I saw Bucky’s arm in the dishwasher and thought for a second that maybe Thunderbolts* is categorised as part comedy, which would increase my chances of watching it; it is not.

Am I still a little curious? Yes. Enough for me to go to the cinema? No. Do I still want it to be good for the super fans and, because I like Pugh, plus her accent? Yes, absolutely.

Lastly, is it likely that the most I’ll ever see of Thunderbolts* is the trailers? Indeed. Nevertheless, never say never, because, you know… The Substance (2024).

Geraldine Viswanathan, Lewis Pullman, Sebastian Stan, Hannah John-Kamen, Olga Kurylenko, Wyatt Russell, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Chris Bauer, Joshua Mikel and Alireza Mirmontazeri also star.

Thunderbolts* Release Dates: May 2nd, 2025 (US & UK)…

Written and directed by Aaron Schimberg, the story follows Edward (Sebastian Stan), a man who is fixated on an actor cast in a play about Edward’s former life – before he underwent facial reconstructive surgery.

Renate Reinsve and Adam Pearson also star in this promising new comedy/horror/thriller, A Different Man.

What an interesting premise; having been so unhappy with one’s appearance that drastic action is taken to change it. Only everything doesn’t quite go as planned – and in the most unexpected way.

I’m excited about the comedy, how it will all be resolved, plus, Stan and Pearson’s performances.

Miles G. Jackson, Marc Geller, Neal Davidson, Patrick Wang, James Foster Jr., Billy Griffith, JJ McGlone, Corey R. Taylor and C. Mason Wells also star.

A Different Man Release Dates: September 20th, 2024 (US); October 4th, 2024 (UK)…

THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER (2021): The Things I Liked…

I liked The Falcon and the Winter Soldier immediately, thanks to a tense, action-filled first few minutes. This is precisely what I’d been hoping for from a series about two of the Avengers. Even more so considering my disappointment with the first two episodes of WandaVision (2021). 

Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan’s six-part series is an action/adventure that sees Sam Wilson (The Falcon) and Bucky Barnes (The Winter Soldier) adjusting to the world following the events of Avengers Endgame (2019). And it’s not long before they have to deal with a new, earthly enemy.

My partiality to a beautiful bromance makes it no wonder that the scenes of Mackie and Stan on screen together are my favourite. The moments when they appeared separately or not at all were often engaging too. Nevertheless, ‘fully engaging throughout’ is not how I can best describe The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. There are periods when it feels flat, less urgent, less exciting, and lacking my favourite element of all; the fun action and an adequately speedy pace. 

The other issue I have with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is its main villain, Karli Morgenthau (Erin Kellyman); a character whose story/villainy I just didn’t fully buy.

Overall, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is good but I can’t say that I love it in its entirety. However, I will remember it fondly for the bromance/action. Especially in episode one, towards the end of the fourth episode and much of episode five. Make time if you’re curious.

Read my spoiler-free movie review of  The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021).

The final trailer for Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan’s Marvel Studios series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is out at last, and it looks great.

Full disclosure, I like the earlier trailers for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. However, it wasn’t until this version that I finally became excited about the series. This trailer embodies more of that Marvel Studios trailer signature that I love so much.

My only hope now is that I enjoy this a lot more than I did WandaVision (2021).

Miki Ishikawa, Adepero Oduye, Desmond Chiam, Shane Berengue, John Gettier and Neal Kodinsky also star.

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Release Dates: March 19th, 2021 (US), Disney+…

Sebastian Stan, Denise Gough and Dominique Tipper are the stars of new drama/romance, Monday.

Directed by Argyris Papadimitropoulos; Monday is the story of Chloe (Gough) and Mickey (Stan); a couple  who meet in the heat of summer one whirlwind weekend in Athens, Greece. The kind of meeting that results in a fling, which then leads to Chloe deciding to give up her high flying job back home.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t drawn to this in large part because of the sunny destination. It also helps that Stan is the star and I am curious to see if they make it. Especially considering what Chloe gave up.

Dominique Tipper, Yorgos Pirpassopoulos, Elli Tringou, Andreas Konstantinou, Sofia Kokkali, Syllas Tzoumerkas, Chloe Sirene, Marisha Triantafyllidou, Orlando Seale, Julie Agoraki and Prometheus Aleifer also star.

Monday Release Dates: April 16th, 2021 (US)….
