Welcome to the first (official)edition of the Cinematic News Reel. This has been an idea that I have played around with in the past but was never able to get going-that is until now. How this will work is that this series will cover weekly movie news stories, rumors (if there is any merit to them) or topics that I can briefly discuss. So without further ado let begins this week's Cinematic News Reel.
First Trailer to "Ant-Man and the Wasp" Features Big Time Spectacle and an Expected Plot
To no surprise Marvel Studios have unveiled their first preview to Ant-Man and the Wasp. The sequel to 2015's Ant-Man will be making its way to the big screen this July, and with Black Panther just weeks away, it only makes sense that content for the Marvel blockbuster would appear sooner rather than later. Sure enough the trailer has made its way online and it plays out all too expectedly. The preview features details about Scott Lang's (Paul Rudd) involvement in Captain America: Civil War and how it affected the likes of Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Hope (Evangeline Lilly). The trailer also centers on the heroes being on the run; though how much this concept will play into the movie's story is unclear at this time. Unsurprisingly the trailer had plenty of spectacle to it with variety of things changing size and a chase sequence that could very well be a highlight for the film. Topping things off for the trailer was the showcasing of Wasp in action as it showed off the heroine and the movie's sense of effects. The trailer to Ant-Man and the Wasp played very much like a trailer for a Marvel movie, and whether that is a good or bad tings remains to be seen. As for now it would seem that Ant-Man and the Wasp will be a blockbuster right for the summer season.
