The latest episode of Saturday Night Live (SNL) saw Scarlett Johansson reprise her role as Black Widow, for a very different look at the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As the Avengers: Age of Ultron soars to new box office heights SNL brilliantly mocks Marvel’s sexism in this standalone trailer.

“You wanna know, why no Black Widow movie?” a narrator growls over the trailer. “Does Marvel not know how to make a girl superhero movie? Chill! Marvel gets women.”

The Marvel superhero, played by everyone’s favourite female Avenger, Johansson, struggles to find romance in New York and hold down her new internship at Fashion Weekly Magazine. Of course her biggest problem is her choice of men – namely Ultron – a robot with a strobe light for a penis.

It’s a happy ending though because she does find happiness with her Age of Ultron co-star, the Hulk. If you’ve seen the movie you’ll no doubt recognise the inspiration for the ending!

By the time we actually do get to see a female-centered superhero movie with Captain Marvel (supposedly in 2018) the total male-centered superhero films will be much higher than they are now. There will have been a total of 15 – 3 Captain America movies, 2 Guardians of the Galaxy movies, 1 Ant-Man movie, 1 Doctor Strange movie, 1 untitled Spider-Man movie, 3 Thor movies, 3 Avengers movies and 1 Black Panther movie.

Steven Spielberg returns to executive produce the long-awaited fourth instalment of his groundbreaking Jurassic Park series, Jurassic World. Set 22 years after the events in Spielberg’s 1993 film, Jurassic World begins with Dr. John Hammond’s life-long dream being realised – the Isla Nublar park is set up as a fully functioning dinosaur theme park. However, the novelty wears off and in order to boost ticket sales and pull in more cash they create a genetically modified hybrid called Indominus Rex. Of course, things go terribly, horribly wrong. Indominus Rex starts “killing for sport…”

Each Jurassic Park film has attempted to raise the stakes – the second one saw T-Rex rampaging on the mainland, the third saw Alan Grant leading two distraught parents on a mission to save their son lost in dino-infested territory. So how do you up the ante for this instalment? Easy. Indominus Rex.

Colin Trevorrow directs this epic action-adventure based on the novel Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton. The Park is Open June 12 – 14 years after the franchise’s last title, Jurassic Park III.

Check out their very cool website, which functions as if the park is real.

We’ve hardly recovered from the excitement of last week’s trailer releases – Star Wars and Batman v. Superman – and now we have another adrenaline-pumping, action-packed trailer for the Fantastic Four – a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team. It offers way more information than the first trailer. We finally get to see the four take on their fantastic forms and we even get a sneak peek at the legendary nemesis Doctor Doom. We’re still not sure how it will all pan out, but we do get a lot more clues.

Directed by Josh Trank (Chronicle), the almost 3-minute trailer gives us a detailed look at how the four cope with their new superpowers after teleporting to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. They have to learn how to harness these powers and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.

The classic Marvel Comic’s villain Doctor Doom is re-envisioned as an anti-social programmer who turns evil (doesn’t sound far fetched to us, seems to be plenty of those about these days). He is no longer referred to as Victor Von Doom, but Victor Domashev.

Fantastic Four stars Miles Teller as Mister Fantastic, Michael B Jordan as the Human Torch, Kate Mara as Sue Storm, Jamie Bell as the Thing and Toby Keller as the ominous Doctor Doom.

If you’re interested to take a look inside the trailer you can watch the filmmaker commentary here.

Directed by Josh Trank, Fantastic Four hits cinemas on August 6 in the UK and August 7 in the US.

It’s here! After months of build up we finally get to feast our eyes on the first full-length official trailer for Zack Synder’s highly anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The trailer was posted by Synder 3 days earlier than planned and 24 hours after a grainy bootleg copy leaked online. The very dark and moody 2-minute trailer looks at the role of Superman in human society after the destruction he caused battling General Zod in Man of Steel.

The beginning of the trailer has voice overs from newsman Charlie Rose and others who can be heard championing Superman as a hero, while Holly Hunter says: “Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” “The world has been so caught up with what he can do, that no-one has asked what he should do.” There are some very deep and cutting lines in the trailer – lines that are so deep they leave a scar, like this one from Jeremy Irons: “That’s how it starts. The fever, the rage, the powerlessness that turns good men… cruel.”

Warner Bros. Pictures’ Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice stars Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman and Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman. The film also stars Gal Gadot as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, with Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane returning from Man of Steel, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, and Holly Hunter in a role newly created for the film. Jason Momoa will also be making an appearance as Aquaman.

There’s so much to look forward to! Unfortunately though we have a long time to wait as the movie opens worldwide on March 25, 2016. Meanwhile, this trailer will surely fuel fan discussions for months!

The new Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser trailer Nº2 has been released and…it’s the real deal! Just hearing the soundtrack again in a new engineered audio gives us goosebumps. The trailer was released yesterday during the official fan convention – Star Wars Celebration – held in California. Carrie Fisher, Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) and director JJ Abrams were among the Star Wars royalty in attendance. Harrison Ford, who plays the space smuggler Hans Solo, was not at the event as he is still recovering after crashing his plane onto a golf course. Ford last appeared in a Star Wars film – Return of the Jedi – over 30 years ago in 1983.

This ‘teaser’ trailer (JJ Abrams is very insistent on calling it a ‘teaser’) is actually perfect and fan reaction has been overwhelmingly positive.  Abrams made it quite clear at the fan convention that there’s an awful lot riding on the reception of The Force Awakens and he is fully aware of the load on his shoulders. It’s the first film without the direct involvement of creator George Lucas, the first movie since Disney acquired Lucasfilm and the first movie in a decade.

At the fan convention we heard that Abrams is remaining true to the spirit of the Original Trilogy by using physical props and sets as much as is possible, rather than relying too heavily on CGI. Building as much as they can has been a mandate in the production. We also heard that there will be new droids (just the domes) including “R5” and “R6” and every pilot will have their own specific droid. The highlight for us was when they rolled out the very practical, and totally real BB8 onto the stage. He is incredibly cute and looks amazing. If you’re a true fan you should try tweeting the hashtags #stormtrooper #C3PO or #BB8, you’ll get special emojis.

The film takes place 30 years after the events of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and introduces new characters played by John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, and Oscar Isaac alongside the return of Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher. Episode VII in the Star Wars Saga, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, opens in cinemas December 18, 2015.

The first full trailer for Ant-Man has landed and it’s awesome! Full of microscopic action we see Paul Rudd play an adorable superhero armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength.

The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man.” Master thief Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Doctor Hank Pym (Michale Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

Marvel’s latest project seems to have a sense of humor as well as a great storyline. There are plenty of laugh out loud one-liners and funny-man Paul Rudd steps into the suit with ease.

We can’t wait for July 17 when Ant-Man to scurries into theatres – Rolling Stone considers the film to be one of the 68 Reasons That This Year will Rule.
