Brie Larson is Captain Marvel!
The casting announcement we’ve all been waiting for was finally announced at Comic-Con Saturday night: Captain Marvel will be played by actor Brie Larson! Her movie won’t come out until 20-freakin’-19, but it’s still pretty cool to finally have the role cast. Hopefully we’ll see her cameo in an upcoming flick, like the first Infinity War movie.
The resemblance is uncanny!
Unfortunately, I don’t know very much about Brie Larson. I’ve never seen Room, so I only really know her from her small role in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, which was a fine role, but probably doesn’t show off her acting chops very much. Still, I love Captain Marvel, so here’s to finally knowing this solid casting.
Now they just need to cast Ms. Marvel
Here’s hoping 2019 will get here soon rather than later…though I’ll be freakin’ 35-years-old by then. Jeez louise…

Doctor Strange Trailer is All Freaky Deaky Like
This has been one great Comic-Con for movie trailers! And not to be outdone by DC, Marvel released a new, epic trailer for Doctor Strange!
That is definitely some freaky deaky movie magic. I don’t know what I was expecting from Doctor Strange, but it wasn’t that, and I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. Weird city manipulations? Whazzat? I guess we’ll find out in November! I still have full faith in Marvel to pull off just about anything!

LEGO Batman Movie Doesn’t Look Too Bad After All
Look, as a Robin fan, I’ve got to make my peace with the short shorts and the pixie boots. There’s just no other way around it. I hate them with a passion, and I hate that society as a whole has so maligned Robin because of them. So yeah, it bugs me that they’re the first go-to joke in the full trailer for The LEGO Batman Movie.
But other than that, I don’t think Robin’s portrayal is all that bad! And Michael Cera does a pretty great voice! I’ve just got to keep faith in the franchise. The LEGO Movie is one of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen, with a completely unexpected depth. If this movie can pull off that same trick with Batman and Robin, then wholly heck! That would be amazing.
Plus, it doesn’t look like we’re going to get Robin in the DC Cinematic Universe, so I suppose I should take what I can get.

Justice League Gets an Awesome Trailer Too!
Quick on the heels of that awesome Wonder Woman trailer, here’s our first look at the Justice League on the big screen as well!
Another amazing trailer! I love the focus on the characters, and each one gets a moment to shine. Flash looked awesome, Aquaman looks awesome; heh, Bruce Wayne comes off better than Batman. But yeah, this looks snazzy as all heck! Looks like they learned their lesson with Batman v. Superman!
Though I am sad that Robin doesn’t get to be a part of all of this. Poor, poor Robin.

First Wonder Woman Trailer is About as Badass as It Gets
Behold, the first trailer for next year’s Wonder Woman movie! Let’s have some fun up in here!
Looks awesome! There’s color, there’s humor, there’s humanity; heck, her lasso even glows! And they use her theme from Batman v. Superman to good effect. I like the grittiness of putting her on the front lines of World War I. I like the hardcore action, with Wonder Woman at the center. I gotta say, I’m optimistic and I’m gonna hope for the best!
