Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Looks Cool!
The Marvel movie machine continues to roll along, much to all our enjoyment. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is due out in a couple of weeks, so we’ve got the first trailer for the next movie after that, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. I love all of these things, and I love this trailer.
Looks great! We got Ant-Man, we got the Wasp, it definitely looks like Cassie Lang is going to suit up in this one. And Jonathan Majors as Kang is really cool. I look forward to him being a huge menace. If I’m being entirely honest, I’m not yet sold on the Quantum Realm being so identical to the worlds of the Guardians of the Galaxy, but we’ll see how that turn sout.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania arrives in theaters on Feb. 17, which is closer than you think.

Creed III Looks Neat
I didn’t even know they were making another Creed movie. I liked the first two, so I guess why not make a third? And this one is going to be directed by Michael B. Jordan, so that’s fun for him. And it stars a badass Jonathan Majors, so perhaps we’ll get a glimpse of what his Kang the Conqueror will be like?
I dunno. It just looks…like not much? Like just another episode of the Creed TV show. It goes this whole trailer setting up this rivalry between the two characters, and how much you want to bet that rivalry ends with a boxing match? So be it.
Besides, nobody is old enough yet to come back and make the Drago movie series. Gotta wait until Jordan is an old man so that he can come back and mentor Ivan Drago’s grandson. Then the circle will be complete.

Slumblerland Could Be a Fun Movie
I like movies. I like new movies. I like most Netflix movies I’ve seen. They’re largely good. But few of them have been truly spectacular. So what are we to make of this full trailer for Slumberland? We’ve got Jason Momoa hamming it up. And it’s based on the classic Nemo stories.
Looks pretty fun. Looks pretty wild. But is it just CGI madness and little substance? I suppose we’ll find out when Slumberland comes to Netflix on Nov. 18!

The Super Mario Bros. Movie Looks Great, Sounds Terrible
The first teaser trailer for the big budget, animated Super Mario Bros. movie arrived on the internet yesterday and it looks phenomenal. I love almost every visual this movie has to offer. But watch out for Chris Pratt’s weird accent for Mario…
I just sounds so bad. I think I’d prefer if he was just his normal Chris Pratt voice instead of whatever weird little slight accent he’s trying to give it. So bad! Also, clearly Mario looks like Fix-It Felix, right? It’s in the eyes. Those aren’t Mario’s eyes. Those are standard animated movie eyes.
Anyway, looking past the weird Mario choices, the rest of this trailer is gorgeous. The slow, serious build-up to a truly powerful Bowser is a great choice! I love the balance between serious and some comedy. I’m so glad to see this isn’t some slapstick nonsense. It looks awesome!
It just sounds weird. But we’ll find out for sure how the voicework works when it comes to theaters next year!

6 Things I Want to See in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
A cool new trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever arrived this week and it got me thinking about what I want to see in the sequel. We already know the story and most of the new main characters. We know a general course for the film to take. But a man like me, a dorky internet blogger, can still have some hopes and dreams for this awesome, upcoming sequel.
Anything can happy in Wakanda Forever. The movie is nearly three hours long, coming in as the second longest MCU movie. I am here for that. I do not mind long movies, and if that’s the length they wanted, give it to them. I trust Ryan Coogler and his team completely in honoring Chadwick Boseman and telling a great story that moves the Black Panther franchise forward. I’m firmly behind the idea of not recasting T’Challa. They could have recast, but that actor would have stepped into such big shoes. Instead, I’m excited to watch the excellent supporting cast step up and embrace the legacy.
We already know a lot of about Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, but join me after the jump anyway for certain specific things I hope to see in the upcoming sequel.
