Pokemon fans are hyped following the release of the Detective Pikachu trailer on Nov 12.  The movie is a nod to the Detective Pikachu Episode O – Eevee’s Case game for Nintendo 3DS released in the West in early 2018. Ryan Reynolds, who lends his voice to “Pikachu”, tweeted the trailer out this morning along with the official twitter account for the Pokemon Detective Pikachu movie.  Warner Bros is scheduled to release the movie in May 2019, making it the first Pokemon film to have a major film release since the 2001 release of Pokemon 3: The Movie. Reynolds is joined by cast mates, Justice Smith as Tim Goodman, Kathryn Newton as Lucy Stevens, and Ken Watanabe as Detective Yoshida.

As if the trailer wasn’t enough, fans were treated to the first Detective Pikachu movie poster giving us all the vibes of a seedy, neon covered landscape with our hero, Pikachu, dwarfed in the heart of it.  This movie looks to be a mix of kid and parent friendly humor, the perfect blend for a summer hit.

It’s been a long road since the 2014 announcement that there would be a Toy Story 4 and this morning, a teaser trailer was released! With a new director, Josh Cooley (cowriter from Inside Out) and a new script written by Stephany Folsom, hopes are high that Disney and Pixar will knock this one out of the proverbial play room.

Along with the new trailer, a synopsis was released on the official YouTube channel for Disney Pixar pointing to a road trip for Woody and the gang along with some new friends.

“Woody has always been confident about his place in the world and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. But when Bonnie adds a reluctant new toy called “Forky” to her room, a road trip adventure alongside old and new friends will show Woody how big the world can be for a toy.”

Check out the trailer here for a sneak peek!

Ever since Jason Momoa was cast as Aquaman in the DC Universe epic Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice four years ago, fans have been buzzing about an Aquaman origin story. While filming has been ongoing since May of 2017, Warner Bros. released seven full color stills on Nov. 7 to tempt movie goers and build even more excitement for the Dec. 21 release of Aquaman.

Momoa again assumes the role of Arthur Curry, the son of Queen Atlanna, played by Nicole Kidman, and mainlander Thomas Curry, played by Temuera Morrison.

In this iteration we get the back story of how he came to be the hero of Atlantis complete with action packed fight scenes and comedic interludes. The stills depict a colorful CGI oceanic world and impressive costuming for the cast including Amber Heard as Princess Mera and Willem Dafoe as Nuidis Vulko, among several others. This is a big change for a franchise that has been widely criticized for its dark and brooding films.

Check out the extended trailer, released on Oct. 5 here and get a taste of director James Wan‘s vision for this aquatic adventure as well as the new movie stills below!

Cassian Andor Returns in Live-Action ‘Star Wars’ Series

Cassian Andor fans, rejoice!

It was announced today by Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger that Diego Luna will be reprising his role as the beloved (yet short-lived) rebel spy from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in a live-action series. The show will be exclusive to Disney+, Disney’s upcoming streaming service. Lucasfilm is slated to begin production on the series in 2019, with no confirmed release date as of yet.

When Rogue One hit theaters in 2016, audiences were introduced to an array of unfamiliar yet captivating characters within the Star Wars universe. Feedback on the new characters was bittersweet, as Jyn Erso, Cassian, and the rest of the crew ultimately perished at the conclusion of their heroic mission. Considering that Rogue One leads almost directly into the opening of the original Star Wars: A New Hope, their fate was inevitable.

Viewers were left resigned to the fact that two hours of screen time was all that they would get with the Rogue One cast, until now. Luna’s new, untitled adventure as Cassian Andor (described as a “rousing spy thriller”) will take place prior to the events of Rogue One, during the early stages of the Rebellion.

In a statement for Starwars.com, Luna said:

“Going back to the Star Wars universe is very special for me. I have so many memories of the great work we did together and the relationships I made throughout the journey. We have a fantastic adventure ahead of us, and this new exciting format will give us the chance to explore this character more deeply.”

This is the second Star Wars series that is being developed for Disney+, the first being The Mandalorian (which will be set later in the Star Wars timeline, after the fall of the Empire). Disney and Lucasfilm’s willingness to explore the potential of smaller, untold Star Wars stories is exciting news for fans both new and old.

What other Star Wars characters do you hope will make an appearance in a future Disney+ series? Let us know in the comments!
