In the Superman movie trailer, we see David Corenswet being hit by robots as he is put into prison. Later, he breaks through the reinforced glass. I believe that the reason Lex Luthor could imprison the character — it has to be Lex who locked him away — was by forcing Metamorpho to create kryptonite to keep the hero weak. We see Metamorpho sitting in Superman's cell with a glowing green hand, and the character's powers allow him to transmute his body into several elements and forms. This explains why the robots can hurt Superman.

Thunderbolts* is all about reconciling with your past, moving forward and taking action so that the trauma and darkness of the past can be overcome with help from others. Convesely, I feel like that makes Wanda Maximoff's arc even worse, especially as it doesn't seem like any of the surviving Avengers came to and be there for her following the death of the Vision.

The various eras of the Star Wars galaxy are all fascinating in their own way, each one having epic stories. However, my favorites include the Clone Wars, Galactic Civil War, and The Dark Times. That said, I would love it if Lucasfilm started exploring the Old Republic further in the official canon.

Rather than being a run-of-the-mill look at the new Zootopia sequel, I was rather impressed by the creativity of the new trailer. The hamsters on the piano opening and closing the trailer were super funny, and I enjoyed seeing all the different characters in rapid succession. I'm also very curious to see who the hooded villain might turn out to be.

Having just recently rewatched the Hunger Games movies, Kieran Culkin seems like a strange choice to me. I love Succession and am down to watch him in anything, but I don't see him being all that similar to Stanley Tucci. Maybe my concern is that the character will feel too much like Kieran Culkin and less like Caesar Flickerman, but I hope I'm wrong.

Tony Todd's last film is Final Destination: Bloodlines, and his appearance was absolutely devastating for his fans. Not only was it very clear he was sick by looking at how skinny he was, the words he spoke came off as a goodbye. Apparently his speech was improv, which does not surprise me at all, as he truly seems to be saying that he knows he is dying and has made his peace with it. He says he is going to spend time with family and live his life to the fullest until he es. I am glad that he was able to leave a message for those that loved his work so dearly. 

Final Destination: Bloodlines has brought the franchise back to life with rave reviews from both critics and audiences. While I absolutely love this movie, it is hard for me to say that it is the best of them for one reason - the first Final Destination was so unique and exciting when it was released. I think that the opening sequence for Final Destination: Bloodlines is the best one, and all of the deaths are at the top of the ranking, no doubt about it, but the first one will always hold a special place in my heart. It is similar to how I think the first Scream will always be the best because it was the introduction for what is to come.

While the original Train to Busan movie might be the most well-known of them, there are two other entries in the zombie franchise. Seoul Station is a violent and bleak origin story for the zombies seen in the film, with gorgeous animation that makes its story even more visceral. The other live-action entry in the franchise is 2020's Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula, which does a good job of showing how the world has evolved since the original movie. While I enjoy all three entries, the original's classic status and deep connections between characters are simply unmatched.

Thunderbolts* ed the total box office of The Marvels, the MCU's biggest bomb, in just one week. While it's impressive that the MCU movie managed to do it so fast, I don't think it was ever in question that the film would be able to leave The Marvels behind. With fan-favorites like Bucky Barnes and Yelena Belova, and Avengers-like team-up concept — later revealed to be a true Avengers movie, and more, I always expected Thunderbolts* to have a better box office run than The Marvels, so I wasn't surprised by its feat.

Michael Douglas recently revealed in an interview that he believes his time in the MCU might be over. Now that the Ant-Man trilogy has ended, I think it's okay for the franchise to move on from Hank Pym. However, I wasn't Douglas to come back one final time. In the past, the actor had commented on how he wanted Hank to die if he were to return, and I feel like such a death could add to the stakes of the next two Avengers movies, so I hope it happens.

After Conan O'Brien's immense success hosting the Oscars, his HBO series, and the ongoing love for his podcast, I feel like he's finally beginning to earn his due appreciation. I've been saying for years that Conan is one of the funniest people alive. I really hope he gets a sizable role in the movie.

James Gunn's Superman movie trailers have repeatedly shown David Corenswet's Superman getting beaten up and bleeding. While Superman is usually shown to be an extremely powerful hero who can't be hurt by much, I think Gunn is using this shocking move to show us how he understands the character. By giving Superman so many adversities, Clark Kent's humanity comes out more, and since that is truly the best part of the Man of Steel — his desire to do good and help others with his immense powers — James Gunn's Superman movie is on point.

Before watching Andor, I had only seen Rogue One when it was released in theaters. So, going back to the movie almost a decade later was quite the experience. With the added context provided by Andor, not only related to Cassian, but the other characters who appear in the show and the movie, as well as all of those that contributed to the rebel cause in some way and are not in Rogue One, the film is so much more meaningful. I now view it as the perfect series finale for Andor, and Cassian's death becomes incredibly more tragic.

While Ryan Reynolds' Hal Jordan did come up with some constructs of his own in the Green Lantern movie, I feel like we should have had more exciting and creative uses of the hero's power in live-action. After watching the new Superman movie trailer, Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner seems to be just the Green Lantern for the job. In the footage, we see him easily craft a giant hand to hit a truck and some soldiers. I want more constructs with personality and that look better onscreen, and Superman is doing that.

Lilo & Stitch (2025) has debuted on Rotten Tomatoes with a score of 73% after 44 reviews. This is a little bit surprising considering how well-loved the animated version is, and how good Stitch has looked in the trailers and promotions by Disney. That said, the live-action remakes tend to struggle a lot, with Disney never really finding the perfect balance between shot-for-shot recreations and new or adjusted scenes. 

Zootopia 2 has released its first teaser trailer and although there is no dialogue at all, it still has fans hyped for the movie. The teaser allows the lemmings to show off their musical skills as they play a tune on the keyboard over several scenes from the movie (we assume), and flashes of returning and new characters. In one scene, Gary the snake, Nick Wilde, and Judy Hopps cower away from a hooded figure. While I assumed Ke Huy Quan's Gary was going to be the main villain, perhaps it is this mysterious hooded character. Only time will tell, but I think Disney Animation might have just revealed something to us. 

As we get closer to the next two Avengers films and Doctor Strange 3, I'd really like to see Stephen Strange getting a similar arc to the one seen in the comics' version of Secret Wars in 2015. Realizing he wasn't strong enough to prevent the end of reality via multiple incursions, Doctor Strange s forces with Doctor Doom to save reality and create Battleworld. As such, I think this would be a perfect continuation of Strange's MCU arc, seeing how Doctor Strange 2 already saw Stephen making compromises and using darker methods in the name of the greater good.

As the New Republic era picks up and starts to culmiante with a major conflict involving the Grand iral Thrawn and the Imperial Remnant, it makes sense for Luke Skywalker to make future appearances involving more action with extended roles compared to what's been seen via CGI de-aging. With that in mind, I think I'd rather see Luke being recast with Sebastian Stan, something Mark Hamill wants to see happen (and the two actors have allegedly talked about it). I think this would be better than the CGI/finding some contrived excuse to explain Luke's absence.

It has been confirmed that Captain Gantu is not in the live-action Lilo & Stitch. While he is not a major part of the original animated film, he does serve as the main villain who sends Pleakley and Jumba after Stitch. I cannot imagine that Disney made this decision lightly, so hopefully it does not mess with the plot or flow of the film too much. I imagine they just give a little more to do to either Pleakley or Jumba (likely Jumba). Initial reactions by those who have seen the film alredy are mostly positive, so I am not too concerned.

I understand that the Sonic movies are making changes from the game versions of these characters, but I'd like to avoid a direct Sonic-Amy romance as much as possible. I think having them flirt for the humor of it could be quite fun, but I don't think it would benefit the movie. The way the games have handled their romantic interactions in the past has always felt contrived, so if they're going to do it, I'd rather it be developed naturally over time.
