"Captain America: Civil War" Cast and Plot Revealed!

If you thought that you would have to wait until Avengers: Infinity War to see the team in action once again, guess again. The official cast for Captain America: Civil War has been revealed and it is looking mightier than Thor himself. Let's rundown the announced cast: Chris Evans as Captain America, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, all of which have been with us since the beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Then we have the new members of the team with Anthony Mackie returning as Falcon, Paul Bettany as The Vision, Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlett Witch, and Don Cheadle as War Machine. This will be the second movie in a row in which we will get to see Paul Rudd as Ant-Man and the first time we will see Chad Boseman as Black Panther, before getting his own movie in 2018. Sebastian Stan will be returning as the Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes. Emily VanCamp will be back as Agent 13, as well as Frank Grillo as Brock Rumlow, a.k.a. Crossbones. They're even bringing back William Hurt as General Ross, and he has been nowhere to be seen since 2008's The Incredible Hulk! Rounding out the cast are newcomers Daniel Bruhl, who will play the villain Baron Zemo, and Martin Freeman in an unspecified role. While nothing has been confirmed, and no actor has been cast, it is believed that Spider-man will make his first appearance as part of the MCU due to his major role in the Civil War comics. It is impossible to tell how big each character's role will be but so far the cast looks incredible.
 
Marvel released a synopsis for the film alongside the cast list and it reads as follows: “Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain." From the sound of this synopsis, it doesn't appear as if the movie will follow the exact same plot as the comic book. Instead it seems like the superhero team will be split into two sides and will battle it out until it is time to put their differences aside to defeat the big, bad villain. I would personally prefer to see the movie devoted entirely to the intricate relationship between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark but it appears it won't be that way. Either way, this will still probably be a kick-ass movie that could stand as a third Avengers film.

Film Review: "Ready Player One"

There aren’t very many directors who have had quite the career that Steven Spielberg has. The man who directed the very first blockbuster in  Jaws , is the same man who has put together some of our most beloved films such as the E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial , Jurassic Park , Close Encounters of the Third Kind , and the Indiana Jones series. It’s the same man that, aside from giving us these wonderfully imaginative films, has also given us hard-hitting dramas such as Schindler’s List , Lincoln and Bridge of Spies . His career has spanned 50 years, and the 71-year-old director shows no signs of slowing down. With his latest film, Ready Player One , Spielberg once again delivers an awe-inspiring film that captures the wonders of the imagination. It stars Tye Sheridan as Wade Watts/Parzival, Olivia Cooke as Samantha Cook/Art3mis, Ben Mendelsohn as the villainous Sorrento and Mark Rylance as OASIS creator James Halliday. The film takes place in 2045 Columbus, Ohio. In this futuristi...

First Teaser Trailer for Pixar's "The Good Dinosaur"

Image via GalleryHip The first teaser trailer for Disney-Pixar's The Good Dinosaur  has been released and it hit all the right notes. As most teaser trailers, this one didn't show too much. In fact, the first half of the trailer is spent looking at meteors in space. Yet about halfway through, we are asked what would have happened if the meteor that killed the dinosaurs never actually hit the planet, and then we get our first look at dinosaurs from the film as they casually look up from their food to see the meteor shoot by over their heads. After that scene, we are shown a bunch of action shots from Arlo and Spot's (our protagonists) adventure. There is no dialogue in this teaser and we never get a clear shot of our heroes. In fact, the one real shot we get of them comes at the very end and it comes in the form of a side shot as they are running through a mountain. But even though this teaser is very limited, it kept me smiling all throughout it. More importantly t...

Film Review: "Blindspotting"

Photo via Lionsgate Carlos Lopez Estrada makes his feature film debut with  Blindspotting , a timely drama starring Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal. The film, which was co-written by Diggs and Casal, is perhaps one of the most important films that anyone can see given today’s social climate. The story follows Collin (Diggs) in the months following his release from prison. With three days remaining on his probation, all he has to do is stay out of trouble in order to be a free man. That proves to be easier said than done with his troublemaking best friend, Miles (Casal), hanging around him all the time. After witnessing a police officer fatally shooting an African-American man, Collin’s world gets flipped upside-down and he finds himself re-evaluating his relationship with Miles.             For a film that is 95 minutes long,  Blindspotting  has a lot of moving pieces, all of which are excellently develope...
