Who’s the cat that won’t cop out when there’s danger all about? It used to be Shaft, but now it’s Black Panther. Right on. Cuz in this latest trailer for the upcoming Marvel movie, he’s a bad mutha–SHUT YO MOUTH!
From director Ryan Coogler (Creed), the MCU gets its “daaaamn right!” swagger in Black Panther, so much so that it’s begging for a Nick Fury cameo with full doses of Samuel L. Jackson attitude.
Starring Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Martin Freeman, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, and Andy Serkis. Black Panther opens on February 16, 2018.
If director Rian Johnson had his druthers, we wouldn’t be seeing this.
But Lucasfilm marketing knows better. Fans hungered for one more bite of a marketing morsel from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and we have it: the second and last trailer for the latest Star Wars episode.
It premiered on Monday Night Football, in October, just like the final one for The Force Awakens did. And it’s clearly the dark Empire Strikes Back of this trilogy.
I think we can now consider ourselves fully primed for Episode 8, if we weren’t already.
A little over a month out and we’re getting a our last rock-and-roll look at the new Justice League movie. This official “Heroes” trailer is driven by a cover of that David Bowie classic as the gang unites together in explosions of CGI excess, with glimpses of the big bad villain Steppenwolf to go along with it. Justice League opens on November 17, 2017.
Defying a lackluster stateside run with a global haul led by China, Pacific Rim has spawned a sequel, and here’s its first trailer. Gone are creator / director Guillermo del Toro and actor Charlie Hunnam. In their places are Stephen S. DeKnight (TV’s Daredevil) and Star Wars star John Boyega who plays the son of son of Idris Elba‘s hero from the original film.
In short, what we’re given here is an even more colorful spin on the Transformers franchise, and if you’d told me Michael Bay was the director I’d have believed you. For a spring release, that might not be the worst thing for multiplexes.
Co-starring Scott Eastwood, Tian Jing, Charlie Day, Adria Arjona, Burn Gorman, and Rinko Kikuchi,Pacific Rim: Uprising opens on March 23, 2018.

Serving as a perfect companion piece to this summer’s Dunkirk, the upcoming biopic Darkest Hour is an Oscar season hopeful about Winston Churchill confronting Britain’s most dramatic turning point of WWII.
Gary Oldman stars as the iconic Prime Minister in a powerhouse performance that’s already being billed as a lock for Best Actor. Hype aside, under the direction of Joe Wright (Atonement, Pride & Prejudice), Darkest Hour should offer history geeks and cinephiles a fascinating look at one of the 20th Century’s most crucial figures.
Co-starring Kristin Scott Thomas, Lily James, and Ben Mendelssohn, Darkest Hour opens in limited release on November 22, 2017 and expands through December.
