Captain America: Brave New World Trailer Just Randomly Arrives!
They missed the Fourth of July by one week!
Anyway, I had no idea this “teaser” trailer was coming out today, but I’m glad for it! I remain a Marvel diehard, and have full faith in Captain America: Brave New World. I loved The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and I’m excited to see what happens next.
This trailer was awesome! It’s so well put together, and I love a trailer like that. We’ve got all the building blocks for this opening mystery, we’ve got some good stuff between Sam Wilson and the president. Then the action picks up. And the trailer doesn’t shy away from comparing Sam to Steve Rogers. That’s a plus and will hopefully help people get on board. And having Harrison Ford in your movie trailer can’t hurt.
Also, Red Hulk confirmed! Though if they were going to reveal him in this trailer, I think they could have done a better job than that glimpse.
Captain America: Brave New World comes out on Feb. 14!

Putting the Glad in Gladiator II
So, uh, there’s going to be a Gladiator 2. Granted, that first movie does not hold a monopoly on any and all gladiator movies for all time. It’s just a little weird that we’ve reached this point in our legacy sequels. But who am I kidding? Hollywood loves reusing a recognizable brand name. We’ve got a Beetlejuice sequel coming out in the fall, after all.
This trailer feels a little silly to still be in a Maximus universe. It fees like it’s trying too hard. But the trailer was also full of all sorts of action and characters and stuff you’d expect to see. Weird Roman rulers amped up to 11. This movie is probably going to be exactly what we all assume it will be.
Gladiator II comes to theaters on Nov. 22.

Just a Metric Ton of Rando Movie Trailers
I’m tired, boss. It’s been a week, let me tell you, and it’s only going to get worse over the next few days. So no List of Six this week. Maybe comic reviews. We’ll see. And for this middle of the week, I’m just gonna drop a bunch of random movie trailers that came out in the past few days. I don’t know what’s happening, but these are really, really random movies.
Let’s start with the most random (and that’s saying something!) Bando Stone and The New World with Donald Glover! This one is pretty wild and awesome.
It’s so nifty looking! Donald Glover at his weird and wild best, in a truly interesting premise. The effects also look pretty damn insane. Very creative, very inventive, and that could really make the movie.
Bando Stone and The New World…apparently currently has no release date. Huh. Oh well.
Next up is Red One, wherein the Rock and Chris Evans do a Taken with Santa Claus.
Honestly, this one looks fun. It’s probably gonna be ridiculous, but the same could have been said about Violent Night, and I loved that movie! That was Die Hard and Santa Claus. So I’m definitely willing to give this one a chance.
Red One comes to theaters on November 15! Theatres? Not Netflix? Interesting.
Third up is the trailer for Jackpot, in which John Cena and Awkwafina (that rhymed!) do a silly, R-rated action comedy. I love both of them, so I’m down!
And Simu Liu! Wonderful! I’m so glad to see him still getting work. I want that dude’s career to explode! And I want to see Shang Chi 2 sooner rather than later. But for now, I’ll settle for Jackpot, which comes to Amazon Prime Aug. 15.
Next is another trailer for the movie Trap, which is an M. Night Shyamalan movie.
And starring everybody’s forgotten Hollywood dreamboat, Josh Hartnett. Guess he’s back for good. Looks spooky. And the trailer doesn’t give the twist away, if you’re worried about that. Just looks like a solidly spooky horror film. Good times.
Trap comes to theaters on Aug. 2.
Lastly, we have Hellboy: The Crooked Man, what appears to be a fanmade Hellboy movie given realish studio power. If you can call Ketchup Entertainment a real studio.
I don’t even know about this. I guess Mike Mignola himself, along with author Christopher Golden, wrote this movie, so that’s something. But otherwise, this looks almost pathetic. But it also looks…maybe interesting? Seems to be a really spooky movie that just happens to throw Hellboy in as our protagonist. That could be fun! And if made cheaply, maybe we get a bunch of low key Hellboy movies?
I guess we’ll see when Hellboy: The Crooked man comes to theaters(?) sometime this year.
And that’s it! Those are all the movies! Or at least all of the trailers I saved and wanted to share. Probably a bunch more rando movie trailers in the world at the moment. But these will have to do for now!

Get Ready For Another Spooky Vampire Movie!
Vampires are eternal. Especially in movies. So there’s going to be another spooky vampire moving coming out this year: Nosferatu! Made by Robert Eggers, who made The Witch, The Lighthouse and the Northman. Sadly, this movie is not called The Vampire or The Nosferatu. It’s a remake of a 1922 film, which was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
This could be fun. Weird and fun. I’ve only ever seen The Northman by Eggers, and was not all that impressed. He’s the guy who makes really weird, artsy movies. I want to like those, but I rarely do. So we’ll see. This is definitely spooky enough to be a spooky vampire movie.
Nosferatu comes out Christmas Day, because of course it does. Now that’s some synergy I can get behind!

They’re Making An Animated Watchmen
Man, nothing is going on this week other than the heat. I’ve had a lot of success either staying in my air conditioned office or my air conditioned home (my car’s AC is broken). So I haven’t really worried about the heat. But in order to fulfill my oath of posting something online every once and a while, here’s the trailer for the first parts of an animated Watchmen adaptation.
We’ve had a number of Watchmen adaptations over the years. There was a motion comic once that I watched, and it had one, male voice actor doing the voices for everybody. Will this one be any different? I don’t know! But it promises to be very faithful to the comic. I think they’re just going to animate the comic right off that page. That might be neat!
Watchmen Parts 1 & 2 come out in August! And…uh…I don’t know in what format. On Max? In theaters? Surely not on DVD…
