First Secret Invasion Trailer From Marvel Studios At Disney D23

Marvel Studios recently released the first trailer for Secret Invasion at D23. Secret Invasion is an upcoming Disney Plus series starring Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, and Emilia Clarke. The series centers around Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) who is trying to try to stop the Skrulls who have infiltrated the highest spheres of the Marvel Universe. Secret Invasion has the feel of a spy thriller and is based on one of the most iconic Marvel comic book storylines of all time. In the comics, Secret Invasion was a crossover event that shook the very foundation of the Marvel Universe. A race of shape-shifting aliens called the Skrulls secretly infiltrate the Earth. The Skrulls infiltrate every form of government and even infiltrate the Avengers team. No one could be trusted and relationships were broken as a result of the strain of that mistrust. Marvel Studios first introduces us to the Skrulls in Captain Marvel; however, their characterizations are different from the comics. The Skrulls in Captain Marvel are refugees rather and are not a hostile invasion force. Secret Invasion looks like it will stick to the comic book storyline and will finally make the Skrulls a real threat. Nick Fury will not know who to trust and fans are in for a lot of great surprises as we will no doubt see. Marvel is releasing the first trailer for the upcoming Disney Plus series, Secret Invasion, At the D23 Expo. The trailer features Nick Fury as he navigates a world of subterfuge and secrecy. The Skrulls are replacing people and Nick Fury and Talos are the only things standing in their way. The Disney+ series looks dark and the tone is quite ominous in the trailer. sThere's possibly some fan-favorite Marvel characters who have been Skrulls from the beginning. We just don't know and that's what will make the series so enthralling. You can watch the first trailer for Secret Invasion below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZVTkn2NjS0 The trailer looks great and extremely dark for a Marvel series. Don't get me wrong, I think it totally fits with the tone, but it's reminiscent of a Jason Bourne style spy-thriller. I find it interesting that no major Marvel characters were present in the trailer. The idea that our favorite heroes are really Skrulls is intriguing and a bit terrifying. Maybe there will be a cameo or two, but for now, it looks like it's going to be the Nick Fury show. Which is good in a way. He's been a side character in every movie or show, so it's about time he got his own show. Hopefully, the show will be as good as we hope and lives up to the hype. You can catch Secret Invasion when it hits Disney Plus in Spring 2023. Read the full article

Unbreakable (2000)

M. Night Shyamalan’s take on the superhero genre is one of his best films. Unbreakable is smart and has a jaw-dropper of an ending.

When David Dunn (Bruce Willis) escapes from a train wreck without a single scratch, Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson) is convinced it’s because he’s special: the real-life equivalent of a comic book superhero.

Almost all of M. Night’s films are about two topics and the unexpected way they intersect. An alien invasion and a preacher who’s lost his faith. A family stranded on a hostile planet and a son trying to prove himself to his father. A trio of women trying to escape their abductor and the idea that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Same here. While on the surface “Unbreakable” is about a man who might be a superhero (for a lack of a better term) it’s also about a person who finds their purpose in life. I love superhero films, but the first installments are usually my least favorite. I want to see the acts of heroism. I’m less interested in their personal life with the obligatory love interest, the villain whose origin is tied with the hero’s, the development of the costume, etc. Particularly with modern superhero films, it feels as if what we're watching is just the building to something else. Not this time.

While Unbreakable contains elements of fantasy, this is a tale mostly grounded in reality. The characters feel genuine. Elijah is kind of sad, and your heart goes out to him when he finds this person he’s been looking for. David may be invulnerable on the outside but you’re worried for his personal life. There aren’t any big action sequences in the film but you’re captivated nonetheless.

My one criticism is that M. Night clearly wanted to include certain comic books and comic book characters in the story but couldn’t. That was outside of his control. What wasn't was the screenplay, which could've been adjusted accordingly. At a glance, you’d swear that Elijah is holding a copy of Action Comics #1 (the first appearance of Superman) but upon closer inspection, it’s some made-up title with the same font. He couldn’t get Marvel to allow him to show Amazing Fantasy #15 instead? You see Marvel Comic books everywhere else in the background, so why not? I know it seems like a small thing, but this picture is all about superheroes. Elijah collects them, it explores the topic deeply because it knows what we know and expect. M. Night is obviously knowledgeable about the subject which makes this detail stick out.

Unbreakable doesn't get the proper credit it deserves. There have been many superhero movies made since and few have approached their powers and characters with the same insight and self-reflection as this one. It isn’t big, but it feels personal, and that ending... it's one you can't forget. (Theatrical version on DVD, January 31, 2017)

In arrivo nelle sale "Glass", il terzo capitolo dell'universo eroico, e psicologico, di Shyamalan

Circa due anni fa, chi si recava al cinema a vedere l'ultima fatica di M. Night Shyamalan, Split, non avrebbe mai immaginato di assistere ad un film che avrebbe esteso l'universo di un'altra opera cara al cineasta di origini indiane, Unbreakable - Il predestinato, che diresse nel 2000. In un'attualità cinematografica che desidera riempire sale e portafogli dei produttori con universi condivisi, come la Disney insegna con la Marvel, la Warner Bros. sta provando con Godzilla e Kong, anche la Universal, accantonata a quanto pare l'idea del Dark Universe dopo i risultati de La Mummia; grazie a Shyamalan avrà la sua saga condivisa (anche se Unbreakable fu prodotto originariamente dalla Touchstone Pictures, che, ironia della sorte, è una costola Disney).

First Footage From Marvel Studio's 'The Marvels' Hits D23 Expo

We have our very first look at the upcoming Marvel Studios film The Marvels from the D23 Expo. The Marvels is set for release on July 28, 2023, and will feature Brie Larson, Iman Vellani, Teyonah Parris, and Samuel L. Jackson. This will serve as the sequel to Captain Marvel and Marvel has been very secretive about its plot. As of now, we know relatively nothing about the film; however, we do know it will feature a team of superpowered women known as "The Marvels." D23 has given us our first look at The Marvels and several other projects. The footage was taken by fans in attendance at D23 and features clips and behind-the-scenes insights into the film. The film is described as "Full comic book madness" and we get to see a bit of that in the footage. The project is currently in production and is on track to hit its July 28, 2023 release date. No word on the plot or any significant details; however, this first look should be enough to satisfy fans until we learn more. You can see the entire sizzle reel from the D23 Expo below: https://twitter.com/BRMarvelNews/status/1568293673913446400?ref_src=twsrctfwtwcamptweetembedtwterm1568293673913446400twgr183c05569c2d84061d171ebfa0d34bf278df6c65twcons1_&ref_url=httpswww.murphysmultiverse.comd23-new-marvel-studios-teaser-offers-first-glimpse-at-x-men-97-and-the-marvels I think the footage from The Marvels is great. Some of it was from past projects like Wandavision, Captain Marvel, and Ms. Marvel, but I think there is some new stuff in there. Marvel is usually pretty secretive about their projects and The Marvels is no exception. We have very little information about the film and even the rumor mill is pretty quiet. Given the Skrulls' involvement in Captain Marvel, it's likely that The Marvels could tie into the upcoming series Secret Wars with Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn. That's simply conjecturing but it makes sense given what we know. It's also possible that The Marvels could expand the MCU Cosmic universe seeing that Captain Marvel as a character spends most of her time in space. Ms. Marvel and Monica Rambeau are more terrestrial characters but this could be their chance to see the greater universe. Hopefully, we'll get more information on the film in the coming months, but you can catch The Marvels when it hits theaters on July 28, 2023. Source: Marvel News via Twitter  Read the full article

Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

The Saw franchise was a big deal until the installments became tangled in knots and obsessed with twist endings. Even before the 2017 revival/reboot, it had run out of ideas. 2021's Spiral brings in some fresh concepts that are unfortunately wasted on bad performances, wooden dialogue, a lousy script, and bad direction.

When the body of a corrupt detective is found in a subway tunnel, his mutilated remains point towards a new Jigsaw-like killer. The sadistic mastermind is looking to clean up the police department by targeting corrupt officers. Detective Zeke (Chris Rock) and his newly-appointed partner, Detective Schenk (Max Minghella) lead the investigation. With everyone except his captain (Marisol Nichols) and father (Samuel L. Jackson) distrusting Zeke, the odds of cracking this mystery are against them.

The setup is a nice evolution for Saw. As the series went on, it felt like the initial thesis of "teaching people lessons through suffering" got lost in increasingly gruesome and assured deaths. This killer has a clear agenda. You understand how each ironic punishment will make the victims confront their pasts… for the most part. Too many traps in Spiral are so elaborate and brutal you know it doesn’t matter what the victim chooses to do; they won’t live. The movie becomes about gore, which is effectively stomach-churning and unsettling… but there aren't more brains in this film than in any of the others.

Not helping is the writing. I know the action is set in a notoriously dirty precinct but these cops are so bad, so uncaring it would be easier to drop a nuclear bomb on the building than try to salvage it, even with such dismemberment as a tool. Every character is broad and ridiculous. The dialogue is clunky, which only hinders the performers. Poor Chris Rock. This was a passion project for him and unfortunately, he fares about as well as someone asked to extract a key from their eye socket.

It all comes down to an ending that keeps you guessing but is fundamentally flawed. The big reveal is that Schenk is the mastermind. He’s getting revenge on the men and women who contributed to his honest father's death years ago. Now, he asks Zeke to join him. What in the hundreds of hours Schenk spent sneaking torture devices into the precinct, making puppets, creepy videos, and coming up with diabolical methods of butchering people would make him think Zeke would take his hand? No one likes Zeke because he turned in a dirty cop! His friend Marv and father are both victims of Schenk!

Spiral needed someone to take a mop and bucket to this film, clean up the script and focus on the emotional distress of the characters or the socially relevant story. Instead, director Darren Lynn Bousman acts as if this is 2006 and the series can do no wrong. This movie squanders its potential but the new direction is interesting enough that if they make another... I'll go see it. (On DVD, October 13, 2021)
