TM Movie News: Wars, Villains, Kingsmen & Doctors

- by Steve Garcia, 15 June 2015

Happy Monday, my lovely Muties! Superheroes are at war! Villains have been chosen! Sequels are happening and trailers are out! IT’S MOVIE NEWS TIME! 

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice:                

• Warner Bros. has confirmed what we already knew in the official synopsis for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice:
  
• Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.
  
• In other news, water is wet! Seriously though, let’s analyze this: Superman and Batman aren’t just fighting—they are at war. What does a straight up war from a Kryptonian super god look like, especially when it’s aimed towards a mortal man? We saw Superman throw Zod through buildings and level a whole city for Pete’s sake! As for the threat? We know Lex Luthor is gonna be in this movie, but if Wonder Woman and Aquaman are also set to make appearances, you know the threat has to be bigger. Rumors from last year suggested that Superman baddie Doomsday will be in the film, and this synopsis strengthens those. Talk about jam packed! Batman v Superman is slated for March 25, 2016. 
  

Doctor Strange:                                                 

• Doctor Strange found its villain! Reported by Deadline, Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) will be playing the film’s main antagonist, Baron Mordo. In the comics, Mordo was a magical colleague of sorts to Doctor Strange. They were both students of The Ancient One (who will be played by Tilda Swinton in the film), and Mordo tried to kill him for reasons. Doctor Strange is packed with Oscar-level talent, so there’s not a doubt in my mind that this will be all sorts of phenominal. This film is slated for November 4, 2016.
  

Kingsman 2:                                                                           

• The sequel to Kingsman: The Secret Service is underway! In an interview with Yahoo News, director Matthew Vaughn said the following:
  
• “Well, the good news is that I’m writing it next door at the moment. If I think I can get the script good enough, then we are making it. We are doing our damndest to make that happen. I’m in love with these characters and I want to work with them again so I’ll probably be breaking the rule of [me] tending not to make sequels.”
  

Power Rangers:                                                                     

• It looks like the Power Rangers reboot might have found its bad guy! First reported by Heroic Hollywood, the upcoming film’s antagonist will be none other than Rita Repulsa! They even have a description:
  
• “A huntress. A striking, yet subtly alien-looking woman. She carries a metallic staff topped with a distinctive crescent shape. Advances with a soldier’s confidence, guided by some sort of compass... Her staff is actually a device of immense power. She points it at the ground. Heads emerge, built layer upon layer like 3-D printing, made from the earth itself... The staff’s technology grants her the ability to create humanoid figures, soulless and robotic.”   
  
• But that’s not all! The article also claims that the film opens with Rita fighting the Power Rangers of the cretaceous period, and that that Red Ranger will be none other than Zordon! The source describes him as “Though alien, he looks like a man in his 50s. Sinewy and strong, as if carved from some root that refused to die. A being of integrity and iron will.” Exciting stuff if it’s real! Power Rangers is slated for January 13, 2017.   
  

STUFF YOU SHOULD LOOK AT:                                                                                          

The Martian:

• Ridley Scott and Matt Damon! Do I need anything else?! LOOK AT IT!
  

Man from U.N.C.L.E:

• Superman's a spy! LOOK AT IT!
  

Mockingjay Part II:

• The end of the franchise (maybe)! Jennifer Laurence! LOOK AT IT!
  

Zootopia:

• Disney’s gone meta! The animals have taken over! LOOK AT IT!
  

And there you have it, my lovely Muties! What do you think the threat in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is? Are you excited for those Power Rangers descriptions? Did you see the first Kingsman? Should there be a sequel? Which trailer caught your full attention this week? Let us know! As always, have an excellent week ahead and be good to one another!
