Marvel Studios’ Captain Marvel will be their first female standalone superhero film. Starring Academy Award-winning actor Brie Larson as Carol Danvers, a human who has been augmented with Kree powers which she will use to stop the Skrull invasion. Though we are still a little over two months away from the film’s release, we are still getting some exciting promotional material leading up to it.

So in addition to the special preview video that was released earlier this week, we now have a new featurette that details Larson’s preparation for the role, which included training at the gym and at an Air Force base where she learned what it was like to be in a dog fight. Check out the entire video below.

By March of this year, the world will know who Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) is when Captain Marvel is released. Though Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) sent out a distress signal to her in Avengers: Infinity War, we still don’t know much about one of the most powerful female superheroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, her standalone film will explain her origins and hopefully tell us why she has been missing for the better part of 10 years.

We won’t get that answer in any of the trailers, however, this new special preview video should be enough to hold us over until the film’s release in March. Check it out below.

The first trailer for Captain Marvel, starring Brie Larson, was quick to establish the hero’s presence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And now the second trailer will show us her quest to answer the questions to her unknown past while also bringing an end to the Kree and Skrull war. Check out the second trailer here below.

Neon has released a new trailer for Vox Lux starring Natalie Portman as a pop star whose career took off after a tragedy, and who is now attempting a comeback after a scandal almost ruined her.

The movie is directed by Brady Corbet, an actor who has starred in 24, Funny Games, Martha Marcy May Marlene, Melancholia, and Force Majeure, and who made his directorial debut with 2015’s The Childhood of a Leader. It also stars Raffey Cassidy (Tomorrowland, The Killing of a Sacred Deer), Jude Law (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, The Grand Budapest Hotel), Stacy Martin (Nymphomaniac, All the Money in the World), and Jennifer Ehle (The King’s Speech, Zero Dark Thirty). Sia wrote original songs for the film.

Another Fantastic Beasts film is a great excuse to revisit the ever-expanding wizarding world of Harry Potter. It proves that there is still a lot of mythology to explore and stories that need to be told. However, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is a poor attempt to continue that story.

Rather than build upon the foundation of the title franchise, the sequel is far too concerned with building its own franchise and treats its own characters like exposition pieces that are to be discarded when they have served their purpose. My full review, below.
