[Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread

Saying Sam L had a leading role is like saying Stan Lee had a leading role.
That's a bit unfair. Nick Fury is there the entire movie, making everything on the Avenger's side happen. That he isn't personally down in New York fighting aliens shouldn't disqualify him from being part of the "lead ensemble" (it's hard to pin down a lead in Avengers... Tony is SUPPOSED to be, but he barely gets more time than anyone else).

He's certainly a lead for the first half of Winter Soldier. Side characters don't get entire action sequences dedicated to destroying New York.

At any rate, Black Panther is getting a movie in a year or two. We'll see how it does.
 
Season 2 has been in production for awhile, but it's slated for 2016 at the earliest BECAUSE of the movie. It's also at the mercy of the manga, which is only two arcs ahead of the anime.
^This. I'm pretty sure we only just got to the manga point that will be the end of season 2. And the movie might've wanted to consult the manga creator even if they couldn't watch how the manga was turning out, because supposedly two characters kiss who ... shouldn't. Unless they're going for a Star Wars thing.
 
You're more likely to have a black lead in a hollywood summer blockbuster than Japan making a moving starring a bunch of Gaijin.
We've HAD black leads in Hollywood summer blockbusters. For instance, Men in Black made 589 million dollars and I'm betting a lot of that was because of Will Smith. Or how about Samuel L. Jackson in The Avengers or Captain America: The Winter Soldier? It happens, but it's just hard to get it to happen MORE when Producers think Black Actoes ruin International take.
Its funny, my snarky comment to the first post was going to be "except Will Smith."

Seriously, I don't even think full-blown racists can dislike Will Smith.
 
I can't possibly think of a context where that set of lines wouldn't be over the top and cringe-worthy.
Quill: "Dammit guys... okay, it's down to us. The Avengers are down, the Nova Corps are falling back, we're the only hope of stopping Thanos. And he knows we're coming."

Drax: "I have first claim on Thanos. It is my right. He was responsible for my wife and daughter..."

Rocket: "Okay, okay, we've heard it all before, all right? Just put a cork in it, sheesh."

Drax: "Put a cork where?"

Rocket: "In whichever orifice you're making noises from right now!"

Drax: "I do not have a cork."

Rocket: "Oh for crying out... how did you ever manage to attract a mate, you big brown lunkhead?"

Groot: "I am Groot!" (shocked expression)

Rocket: "So what if it's insensitive? He's been telling that wife and daughter story for three years. THREE YEARS! There are members of my species who don't even live that long!"

Quill: "Are you guys finished? Now, like I was saying, Thanos knows we're coming, so a surprise attack is out. So we're gonna do it like heroes, okay? Full frontal assault, everything we've got."

Gamora: "But Peter... this is a suicide mission. Thanos is far stronger than us. He's stronger than any of us."

Quill: "But he's not stronger than all of us, together. You know why? Because we've all got something to offer, something that makes us bigger than the sum of our parts. Your speed and skills... Drax's strength... Rocket's tech... and Groot's basically got everything else, don't you, you big shrub?"

Groot: "I am Groot!" (happy expression, starts eating a leaf on his arm)

Quill: "So yeah, we're gonna be the ones to take down Thanos. Together. Or we'll die trying, together, knowing that we took this chance to give a shit."

Drax: "I did that this morning. It was satisfying."

Rocket: "Oh for crying..."

Quill: "Okay, that's enough!"

Gamora: "But what about you, Peter? You did not mention your own offering. What will you be doing in this assault?"

Quill: "What I do best, of course... (swivels hips) confusing the hell out of the enemy with my pelvic sorcery!"

Gamora: "Just like Kevin Bacon!"
 
Good lord.
A) "a True Story" - except for pretty much everything that isn't.
B) I suppose it'll end "...and Libya's still a complete hellhole, but hey, it's not our problem anymore, let the Europeans solve the problem on their doorstep"?
C) The whole "how willing are you to die for your country?" thing is so over-done and ridiculous...And, in this case and more generally in the current fight against IS and associates, invalid. You're fairly likely to hear "very much, thank you" as a response, really .The idea that only the hero is patriotic enough, while bad guys are either cowards or traitors is completely bonkers.
D) I'm sure it'll do good in the American market.

I don't understand why that one soldier keeps speaking one-liners and then smirking at the camera.
 
I'm starting to warm up to Reynolds a lot. Though, it didn't help him back in the day that I kept confusing him for Dane Cook.
 
You know, everything released up to now has been fourth-wall-breaking, so it actually feels kinda weird for there to be none of that in the trailer. Still though, looks pretty decent.

Also, surprise Colossus!
 
I'm not a huge Deadpool fan, and that trailer made me want to see it more than F4, SS and BvS combined. THAT'S how you make a trailer.
 
The Force Awakens comes out on my daughter's birthday, and I am trying to convince my wife that two year olds love SW.
Ex-queeze-me! Star Wars issa mooey mooey fun for the bah-bees, meesa thinks!


AKA: Do not take a child to Star Wars or they'll think Jar Jar is the best character :p
