Your weekend is probably revolving around talks of Captain America: Civil War, and depending on your degree of fandom you might have seen it a couple of times already, but while the conversation keeps going it’s also good to keep an eye on what’s ahead when it comes to superhero movies and TV shows. This week, we got new videos from X-Men: Apocalypse, a new trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, confirmation of a character appearing in Justice League – Part One, and a look at the new Power Rangers costumes. Catch up below.
‘X-Men: Apocalypse’: New Featurette, Clip, and Videos
Fox is trying very hard to get more people to watch X-Men: Apocalypse, and for those who already are we just keep getting reminded of its upcoming arrival, this time through a new featurette, new videos, and a new clip. In the featurette we get more insight on the backstory of Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac) and what makes him such a threat. The videos consist of small profiles on each of the Four Horsemen, giving a little tease of what they can do. And finally, the clip showcases Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) watching a cage fight between Angel (Ben Hardy) and Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee).
‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows’: New Trailer Released
The turtles will be back this summer facing a whole new threat in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, and from the looks of the new trailer they’re having more fun this time around. Being that Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, and Raphael are “out of the shadows” for the sequel, the trailer appropriately has each turtle getting introduced along with moments suited for their respective descriptions.
‘Justice League: Part – 1’: Jeremy Iron to Appear, Ben Affleck Named Executive Producer
However you felt about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, you have to at least be curious about what’s to come in the near future of the DCEU, Justice League – Part One being a part of that. And if Jeremy Irons and Ben Affleck were among your favorite things about Batman v Superman, you will be happy with the news that Irons is returning as Alfred in Justice League – Part One, and that Affleck in addition to starring will also serve as an executive producer on the film. Confirmation of Alfred’s appearance came from Irons himself, while reports are what revealed that Affleck will be an executive producer on Justice League – Part One, serving as a support for Zack Snyder and Chris Terrio “to make the film the best it can be.”
‘Power Rangers’: New Image Reveals Costumes
We already recently saw the villainous Rita Repulsa (Elizabeth Banks) in full costume for the upcoming Power Rangers reboot, and now we finally got the first look at the titular heroes in full costume as well with the release of a new image. The image is quite simply the Power Rangers posing, but what stands out are the costumes themselves which are really different from the original TV show and have a more mechanical look to them, they are described as being “translucent extraterrestrial armor that crystallizes around their bodies.”
‘Avengers: Infinity War – Parts 1 & 2’ Will Be Retitled
If you weren’t a big fan of the whole Part I and Part II in the title of Avengers Infinity War, then you will be glad to know that the title of the films will change, more specifically losing the Part I and Part II. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo weren’t fans of the titles either, commenting that the movies aren’t a two-part story with a cliffhanger, so calling them Part I and Part II would actually be misleading. What the new titles will be is a mystery at this point, so for that we might have to wait a while.
