MCU Getting a Season 2 with Loki

Loki wasn’t my favorite of the first batch of Marvel Cinematic Universe shows on Disney+, but I enjoyed it like everybody else. So of course I’m interested in watching a second season — the first and only show to get a second season so far! What’s up with that? Where’s my second season of She-Hulk?!

Anyway, looks like fun! Loki and Mobius on a quest to save all timelines, having all sorts of wild adventures. Old characters, new characters, and a dangerous Kang the Conqueror above and beyond it all. Looks like more goodness to all degrees, and that’s a good thing.

Loki season 2 comes to Disney+ on Oct. 6.

The Marvels Looks Super Fun!

Comic-Con has delivered a ton of fun trailers so far, and the first one I’m going to post is the new trailer for The Marvels, the next big MCU movie. This is the sequel to Captain Marvel, and it teams her up with Monica Rambeau from Wandavision and Kamala Khan from Ms. Marvel. That’s a lot of TV show connection, but considering I have seen all of these movies and shows, I’m excited.

I think this trailer looks super fun. The energy is good, the color palette looks really nice, and the characters are definitely the strongest part. Iman Vellani is gonna kill it as Kamala on the big screen. To say nothing of Teyonah Parris and Brie Larson, who also look great in this trailer. The whole thing looks fun and I’m definitely looking forward to this one.

The Marvels comes to theaters on Nov. 10.

6 Characters I’m Willing to Let Die in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

The highly anticipated Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is coming out this week and I am very excited! It’s gonna be a blast, and I even took the day off from work so that I can go to the early Thursday afternoon showing in my local theater! But the awesomeness comes with some bittersweetness, as this will be our last adventure with these Guardians. James Gunn is moving on to other pastures and has said he’s done. So even if Marvel continues the franchise, it’s going to be entirely different, probably.

And everybody is pretty sure that a lot of Guardians are going to die

What a bunch of a-holes

Now, I don’t want anybody to die. I don’t require character deaths to give a movie stakes or real emotion. But death is probably inevitable in this movie for someone. So who could I handle dying? If somebody has to die, will I be OK if certain characters bite the dust over others? I’m going to have to be! This might be a morbid list, but fate has brought us to this point, and some of these characters are going to have to face the music.

Join me after the jump for the six characters I’m willing to have die in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

The Marvels Looks Pretty Neat in its First Trailer

Our first look at The Marvels is here! The first trailer/teaser debuted today and it looks to be something of a hoot. Mostly I’m here for Kamala Khan to start interacting with the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, but I’m also here for all of it.

As a teaser, this is a nice look at what we’re going to get in this movie. The premise that the three main characters are switching places when they use their powers is an interesting choice. I don’t know if it works for me quite yet. But if it means putting Iman Vellani’s Ms. Marvel into weird situations, I’m all for it.

This first trailer looks good and I’m as excited for this movie as I am for any Marvel movie these days — which is very excited. I’m also very excited for Ms. Marvel season 2. Get on that, Marvel!

The Marvels comes to theaters in November.

Secret Invasion is Looking Cool as Hell

The next Marvel Disney+ TV show is Secret Invasion, a show where Nick Fury returns to stop a secret, shapeshifting Skrull invasion. It worked in the comics, and it looks like it’s going to work on TV. This new, full-sized trailer shows off a really cool, really dark world of spies and aliens and one badass Nick Fury.

I really like the look of this show. I know, shocking, right? I’ve loved every Marvel show so far, and I’m going to love this one too. The action looks good. The intrigue looks good. The cast is stacked. The only quibble I might have is that this trailer is focused so much on Nick Fury and doesn’t even tease the invasion itself. That’s an interesting choice, but probably an obvious one.

Secret Invasion is coming to Disney+ on June 21!
