Lionsgate Summons Glorious Second Trailer For Hellboy

What’s big, demonic, and red all over? The new Hellboy trailer, of course! Which has emerged from the fiery depths of the underworld baying for blood. Front and center as Big Red is David Harbour , star of the Netflix phenom Stranger Things , who’s clearly traded the Upside Down for the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense – or BPRD, for short. From the moment Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment announced this R-rated retelling of the Hellboy  saga, we all knew that Harbour faced an uphill challenge if he was to really fill the boots left vacant by Ron Perlman, but at least based on tonight’s scintillating new promo, it won’t take long to silence the naysayers – mostly because this teaser trailer heralds a vast improvement over the first in that it has the look and feel of a Hellboy movie, all the while bringing something a little new to the table. And that’s exactly what Neil Marshall has achieved here with the second (and presumably final?) Hellboy trailer. Th...

Avengers: Endgame LEGO Leak Reveals New Look At [SPOILERS] Return

Earlier this month, an Avengers: Endgame LEGO leak hit the web and teased such potentially revealing toys as a new Quinjet and a giant, Hulkbuster-style suit for War Machine . But if you looked a little closer, you probably would’ve noticed another significant detail in the villains that Earth’s Mightiest Heroes were squaring off against . Yes, as you’ve surely heard by now, the images seemingly confirmed the legitimacy of an older leak  which showed the LEGO design for the Chitauri. Though these extra-terrestrial figures have appeared a few times across the MCU, by far their biggest moment in the spotlight was 2012’s The Avengers , in which they fought the titular heroes in the Battle of New York. And while there’s no guarantee that the creatures will make it  Avengers: Endgame , we now have yet another LEGO set which depicts them fighting our heroes. Seen in the gallery below is a battle involving the Chitauri and Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Black Widow (Scarlett J...

Here’s What Woody Harrelson’s Carnage Could Look Like In The Venom Sequel

When we first learned that Sony had a Venom   movie in development a few years back, many folks’ minds immediately jumped to the question of whether that meant that fan favorite villain Carnage would also be making his way to the big screen as well. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen. At least, not fully. Sure, the post-credits scene of the film did tease that the character was on the way, but we didn’t get to see him in the flesh and won’t until the sequel hits theaters. Naturally, though,  fans have been offering their own artistic renderings of what Cletus Cassidy, aka Carnage, could look like in live-action for months now, and this latest edit comes to us from Instagram user Datrinti . Seen in the gallery down below, it’s a frightening rendition of the villain and we wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up being pretty close to what we see in  Venom 2 . Even if it doesn’t, though, it’s a nice reminder that Carnage is coming. Here's What Woody Harrelson's Carnag...

X-Men: Dark Phoenix International Trailer Reveals Even More New Footage

The second trailer for  X-Men: Dark Phoenix   arrived last night, resulting in some mixed feelings about the upcoming mutant movie. Some were blown away by its more serious tone and awesome spectacle and visuals while others were concerned that the plot looked to be too close to  X-Men: The Last Stand  and not close enough to the original classic comic book saga. For those who fall into the latter camp, this new international trailer may help to ease your worries. Often these alternate promos don’t shake up the footage too much from the US version, but this one for  Dark Phoenix  features some key extra footage that clears up the exact nature of Jean’s enhanced powers: it’s not a repressed second personality like the other trailers suggested but is indeed the Phoenix Force, the cosmic entity from the comics. See for yourself in the video below: The Mutants Attend A Funeral In New X-Men: Dark Phoenix Photo 1 of 2     Click to s...
