🐈‍⬛ san diego comic con

• over the week, san diego comic con happened. sdcc is an annual event where people celebrate everything to do with comic books

• at the event, major studios release trailers and news about what they have for audiences. some highlights from this year’s panels:

  • warner bros showed trailers for their upcoming films black adam and shazam

  • disney showed trailers for the disney plus shows she hulk and i am groot, and upcoming film wakanda forever

  • amazon showed a trailer for their lord of the rings series rings of power

• given that these are all potentially billion dollar projects, it might be worth noting which films could be the next big hit this year

🎬 marvel’s phase 5 and 6

the highlight of the convention was, in my opinion, marvel’s panel. personally, i’ve been getting quite sick of marvel’s endless release schedule - they’re getting tiring, boring, and in some cases (i’m looking at you thor) feel like parodies. but let’s look at what they announced:

• feb 2023 - antman quantumania

• may 2023 - guardians of the galaxy vol. 3

• 2024 - daredevil born again

• 2025 - avengers kang dynasty

• 2025 - avengers secret wars

there are many more projects in the lineup, but it seems that marvel’s projects are slowly building to 2025, with 2 avengers films releasing the same year. i wonder what you think about the biggest franchise (currently) in the world and if this news excites you!

💡 something im thinking about

anyone seen the movie cats (2019)? the cgi from this film still gives me nightmares..
