Movie Trailer Wednesday: Mayday and Digger
The Odyssey is coming out this weekend and a lot of new movie trailers have arrived so that they can be attached to The Odyssey. Or maybe they’re just coming out for the fun of it? I don’t know how movie trailer releases work, despite being a big fan of movie trailers for 30+ years. Oh well. These two came out yesterday and I wanted to share.
First up is Mayday, an action comedy starring Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh coming to AppleTV.
I think it looks great! Looks like a ton of fun. I have no turned on Ryan Reynolds like most people, so I’m all in favor of this. The biggest pull is that the film is directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. These are the geniuses behind Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, with some solid writing credits under their belts. These guys make good movies, so I’m definitely keeping an eye on Mayday, and you should too.
Mayday comes to AppleTV on Sept. 4.
Next up is Digger, this super important Tom Cruise movie. I saw the Digger teaser trailer ahead of a movie in theaters a few weeks ago, and the trailer was like 5 full minutes of glazing Tom Cruise’s career. So I guess everything has been building to Digger?
It looks neat. Looks like a smart satire, which I always enjoy. And it’s got John Goodman, so that’s great. I guess it just looks like a big, important, funny movie that will use star power to stay something powerful? I dunno. I just thought it was a trailer worth sharing.
Digger comes to theaters on Oct. 2.

New Deadpool & Wolverine Trailer Does Not Disappoint!
Deadpool & Wolverine is, probably, the most highly anticipated movie of the year. It’s the only Marvel Studios movie this year, and caps off the much beloved and praised Deadpool trilogy. It’s got everything going for it, and, thankfully, looks awesome to boot!
That was great! Still not much revealed in terms of story or what’s going on, but there’s so much beautiful Deadpool & Wolverine action and humor! Loved the melodic “Like a Prayer” soundtrack. Loved the humor. Loved seeing Wolverine in costume with his arms bare. Loved the MCU Easter Eggs. This thing looks awesome!
Deadpool & Wolverine comes to theaters on July 26!

The Live Action, Comic Accurate Wolverine Movie Costume is Real
Yesterday, we got our first real, official look at the Wolverine costume Hugh Jackman will be wearing in Deadpool 3. Production has wrapped on the movie, and it’s due out in the somewhat near future. And lordy me, this costume is gorgeous.
For the first time in the live action movies, the first time with Hugh Jackman in the role, Wolverine will finally be wearing a comics-accurate costume. It’s yellow and blue, it’s got all the right bells and whistles. This thing is phenomenal! Can’t wait to see it in action. Live action, that is!

Space Jam Looks Bad; Free Guy Looks OK
Couple of movie trailers came out in the past day, so I’m here to share! Neither one is particularly exciting. But they’re big movies this summer and I’ll definitely be watching them in theaters. It’s what I do!
First up is Space Jam: A New Legacy. I have slightly high hopes for this film, because I love the original Space Jam. It was a big movie for me as a kid.
But that trailer looks terrible. First off, it looks like a mess. It looks like a vomit of shiny CGI in every direction. And the dialogue is as cringe as it gets. This is just a trailer and I winced through most of it. It’s crazy!
Space Jam: A New Legacy comes out on July 16.
Then there’s Free Guy, a movie with Ryan Reynolds that should be more fun.
This trailer was not as good as its first trailer. This one is focused more on just the wild visuals of the film, which thankfully are not as wild as those in Space Jam. But we’ll see. I have a little bit more faith in Free Guy and I hope it is justly rewarded.
Free Guy comes out on Aug. 13.

Free Guy Looks Good, We’ll Probably Never See It
Ryan Reynolds has a new video game-based movie coming out called Free Guy, in which he’s an NPC who gains sentience when he falls in love with a player character. It looks pretty neat — too bad we may never see it.
So Free Guy is scheduled to come to theaters on Dec. 11. However, in the past 24 or so hours, a bunch of major cinemas have closed their doors and a bunch of major movies — including James Bond, Batman and Dune — have all been pushed back several months, if not entire years. So I think Free Guy and Wonder Woman 1984 are the only movies still scheduled to come out this year…and I doubt that will remain.
But hey, cool trailer.
