Month: February 2019

As expected, Super Bowl LIII has given us plenty of new trailers to watch. On top of a new Avengers: Endgame spot, Marvel and Disney offered viewers another quick look at Captain Marvel, which releases in theaters next month. The trailer begins with Carol Danvers getting ready to hop in a jet, saying she’s ready to go “higher, further, and faster.” You can get a full rundown in our Captain Marvel Super Bowl trailer breakdown.

From there, there’s quick cuts between hard-hitting moments of action, with Carol training, standing in the midst of some destruction in her Captain Marvel costume, being subsumed by energy, and flying into outer space where she launches projectiles at enemies. The whole time an almost robotic female voice can be heard saying, “higher, faster, further.” It’s pretty badass and you can watch it above–it’s all a bit more optimistic than the Endgame trailer, where things remain fairly bleak.

Captain Marvel follows the shocking conclusion of Avengers: Infinity War, during which Nick Fury put out a distress signal to Carol. How that moment plays into the ongoing broader story remains to be seen, but a younger version of Fury plays a central role in Captain Marvel, so we’ll see plenty of him anyway. As for Captain Marvel herself, yes, the character is a woman.

Captain Marvel hits theaters on March 8. Check out one of the other trailers for the movie to get acquainted with the character before the movie releases, and before she becomes a big part of Avengers: Endgame too. Avengers: Endgame comes to theaters on April 26.

Head over to CBS Sports to watch Super Bowl LIII, along with the adverts and trailers, live.

This year’s Super Bowl is delivering some fantastic, championship-level play, just without much scoring so far. More notably for Marvel fans, it also brought a new trailer for Avengers: Endgame–and you didn’t even have to wait for the game to get underway to watch it. What more could you want? Finally, we get to learn a little more about the second Marvel movie of the year, in which the surviving heroes try and find a way to stop Thanos (and Captain America picks up his shield again for the first time in years).

In this new Super Bowl LIII trailer for Avengers: Endgame, which you can watch above, the world is pretty bleak. This movie will take place sometime after the events of Infinity War, where the planet is trying to move on after so many were dusted away by Thanos. However, there is still a group of heroes who refuse to give up. These will be the Avengers who will try to make things right. But can they? You can get a rundown on everything in this new look at the movie in our Endgame Super Bowl trailer breakdown. Beyond everything it suggests to us about the plot, it’s possible we also get a glimpse at a Rocket Raccoon outfit that diehard comic fans might recognize.

Following the Endgame trailer, the Super Bowl also brought us a look at a new Captain Marvel trailer. We’ve got a breakdown of all the major details from it, though like this Endgame spot, it isn’t especially long.

The first trailer for Endgame debuted in early December, and it got more than 200 million views in the first 24 hours. It gave just enough away to leave fans speculating and to come up with crazy, completely non-probable theories. The new Super Bowl spot has helped shine a little bit of light on certain elements of the upcoming movie like who is left to defeat Thanos and just how far ahead in the future this movie takes place.

Avengers: Endgame stars Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, Paul Rudd as Scott Lang, Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton, and Karen Gillan as Nebula. And you can see what happens to the heroes of the MCU for yourself when Endgame comes to theaters on April 26.

It will be a big year for Marvel starting next month, when Captain Marvel hits theaters on March 8. Check out one of the newer trailers for the movie to get acquainted with the character because she’ll probably be a big part of Avengers: Endgame.

Before Super Bowl LIII officially began, viewers were treated to a few trailers, one of which was for Alita: Battle Angel, the upcoming blockbuster movie adaptation of the Japanese manga series. The movie is directed by Robert Rodriguez and produced by James Cameron, and its special effects are front and center in the short trailer.

Spectacle looks like its going to be a big part of the Alita: Battle Angel viewing experience and, between shots of Vector–who is played by Mahershala Ali–hunting the titular cyborg, we get to see some impressive shots of the futuristic setting. There’s also some very threatening looking bad guys floating around.

Alita: Battle Angel also stars Jennifer Connelly (Hulk), Ed Skrein (Deadpool), and Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen). When the first trailer for Alita was released in 2017, it sparked some controversy for the look of the title character–specifically, her unnaturally large eyes. At the time, Rodriguez explained at San Diego Comic Con that he wanted a realistic depiction of the source material, which in turn stayed true to James Cameron’s wishes to bring the manga to life.

To watch this year’s Super Bowl, you can head over to CBS Sports and catch the game, along with the adverts and trailers, live.

The Super Bowl was in full effect on February 3, airing on CBS, where the L.A. Rams took on the New England Patriots to determine which team is the best in the NFL for the 2018 season. However, there were a good chunk of people watching this game around the world for the weird and funny commercials. So why not keep track of some of the best ones that aired during the big game?

Listen, I know comedy. I was once paid $50 to do standup at a cosmetology school, but that’s besides the point. Throughout the evening, we’ll be reporting some of the funniest, silliest, and wackiest commercials from the evening. From Harrison Ford yelling at his dog with a collar equipped with Amazon Alexa to the Bud Knight getting murdered by The Mountain from Game of Thrones, there were some fantastic TV spots this year.

If you’re looking for every single new TV spot for this year’s Super Bowl, don’t worry, we have a list of everything that aired during the big NFL game for you as well. For now, here are the funniest commercials we saw during the evening.

Olay Won’t Save You From Murderers

Sarah Michelle Gellar pops into this Olay ad which aired during the 1st quarter. Apparently, her Olay facial products have worked so well, she can’t unlock her phone with her face anymore.

Audi Fever Dream

A man finds himself inside an electric Audi, but it was all a dream, as he was choking on a cashew.

Game of Thrones Bud Light

In quite possibly the weirdest crossover commercial of all time, the Bud Knight was murdered by The Mountain from Game of Thrones. Dilly dilly?

Amazon Alexa

There were plenty of items that incorporated Alexa which didn’t work out. The best bit of this star-studded commercial was Harrison Ford’s dog ordering dog food.

Alexa Can’t Eat Pringles

While stacking Pringles to make a new taste combination is something we all do, an Amazon-like device, in this commercial, is depressed it can’t taste them.

Buble Rebrands Bubly

Acclaimed singer Michael Buble has decided to rename PepsiCo’s product Bubly by taking a marker to every single product.

Tony Romo In Easy Mode

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo shows us all what his easy mode is like, which includes a golf putt that even I could make.

The Super Bowl has come and gone, but in the aftermath, Pixar revealed a trailer for Toy Story 4. The gang is back, but they’re not all together. Buzz is all on his own, and in quite the predicament.

In the new trailer–which you can see above–Woody and Bo Peep are back together again, but where is Buzz Lightyear? Well, he’s now at the state fair, but he’s not there visiting. He’s now a prize for one of the games. We also get to meet a couple of new, fluffy characters, who aren’t too friendly to Buzz.

Back in November, we got our first look at the upcoming movie and that included an introduction to the new character Forky, voiced by Tony Hale. However, since then, fans of the longtime series weren’t too sure what this movie was about.

Toy Story 4 hits theaters on June 21 and sees the return of Tom Hanks (as Woody), Tim Allen (Buzz), Annie Potts (Bo Peep), Joan Cusack (Jessie), Blake Clark (Slinky Dog), Wallace Shawn (Rex), and John Ratzenberger (Hamm). The movie will be directed by Josh Cooley, who wrote 2015’s Inside Out.
