With restrictions being lifted, films that have been delayed for over a year are finally making their way to movie theaters. This week’s new release is indicative of that, originally being intended to come out May 2020, but was pushed back to finally be released this week due to the global pandemic. Personally, I have been waiting for a Black Widow solo film ever since her character was first introduced in Iron Man 2, but am overjoyed that it is finally here. In just a couple days, we’ll see just what the former spy got up to in the time between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War!

Black Widow (PG-13)

Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises. Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Natasha must deal with her history as a spy, and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger.

Directed by Cate Shortland

Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Rachel Weisz, William Hurt

Release date: July 9

Also out this weekend is a retelling of the Dickens classic David Copperfield, and a film about three Portuguese youths who claim to have seen the Virgin Mary.

[Movie] ‘Shazam!’ Tests His Powers in New Trailer

by Tori Ann
written by Tori Ann

shazam logo

If we’ve learned anything about the upcoming Shazam! movie, it’s that the film will be taking a much lighter tone than the recent slate of DC films. After all, there is bound to be plenty of humor to be had when your protagonist is a 15-year-old boy who transforms into an adult when he says the magic word!

The most recent trailer for Shazam! is proof of that, as it shows Billy Batson (Asher Angel) as Shazam (Zachary Levi) testing out his newfound powers with the help of his best friend Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer). Super strength, electricity manipulation, hyperspeed, and more all get their test.

It’s not all fun and smiles, as we see Shazam when he first goes up against Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong), and he promptly gets knocked flat on his back. Humor is brought back in, though, as we see him throw a Batman figure during a later fight in the movie. There are also demonstrations of Shazam rescuing everyday people – even if it was caused by his own silly mistakes!

All in all, it looks like Shazam! will be quite the fun ride!

Shazam! will be in theaters April 5th.

[Movie News] First Video of Jake Gyllenhaal in ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’

by Tori Ann
written by Tori Ann
jake-gyllenhaal-spiderman feature

The next Spider-Man movie has been filming for several months, with star Tom Holland giving us various teases via social media. It has been rumored that the main villain would be Mysterio, played by Jake Gyllenhaal. A recent set video of the film’s big fight shot in Liberec, Czech Republic seems to confirm that rumor.

There isn’t much to the video, but it appears to show Spider-Man having just beaten his opponent when law enforcement shows up. There is quite a bit of destruction done by the fight, evidenced by the flaming debris all around them.

Gyllenhaal’s role as Mysterio has never been confirmed by Marvel Studios or Sony Pictures. His casting has never been confirmed by either studio as well, only in trade outlets. There have been several versions of Mysterio over the years, and it is believed that Gyllenhaal will be playing Quentin Beck.

According to Marvel.com, Quentin Beck was a stuntman and special effects designer in Hollywood who turned to a life of crime when he felt that he did not get the recognition he deserved. He first teamed up with the Tinkerer and wore an alien costume to throw people off. At one point he even replicated many of Spider-Man’s powers and posed as him in order to frame him for crimes committed by Beck. Mysterio is well-known as a member of the Sinister Six, a group of Spider-Man’s enemies that teamed up to try and defeat the web slinger. Other members of the group include Electro, Doctor Octopus, Kraven the Hunter, Sandman, and Vulture.

As the title suggests, Spider-Man: Far From Home does not take place in Peter Parker’s native New York. The events of the film take place while Peter and his friends are on a trip to Europe for the International Decathlon. He is  expected to seek out help from Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders).

Spider-Man: Far From Home will premiere in theaters July 5, 2019.
