Marvel Studios kicked off the week in style by releasing a brand new trailer for the next entry into their cinematic universe, Black Panther. Directed by Ryan Coogler and featuring Chadwick Boseman reprising his role from Captain America: Civil War, the film will follow the young king’s return to his native land, the technologically advanced nation of Wakanda, and the turmoil that awaits.
The Fault in Our Stars director Josh Boone has been promising fans a very different sort of superhero movie for his next project, and our first look at next year’s The New Mutants certainly lives up to that promise. Feeling more like a horror movie than a typical comic book adaptation, the film will follow in the footsteps of Deadpool and Logan by trying a new approach to the genre, and this first trailer is already creating plenty of hype.

The release of Pacific Rim Uprising is still several months away, but the first look at the sequel has arrived courtesy of a new feature from Entertainment Weekly, and while the new film may not have Guillermo del Toro behind the camera or Charlie Hunnam in the lead, it boasts the incredibly charismatic John Boyega, which is always a great place to start from.
In an age where Hollywood seems hell-bent on remaking, rebooting and sequelizing nearly every property with a recognizable name, Denis Villeneuve’s stunning Blade Runner 2049 sets a new precedent for the proper way to breathe life back into a decades-old franchise. An engaging and multi-layered detective story with a long list of secrets and surprises, set against the backdrop of a decaying metropolis bathed in fog and neon, this is the Chinatown of science fiction movies – and thanks to the masterful work of cinematographer Roger Deakins, it’s the most gorgeous film of the year.
