Merry Christmas! I give you the awesome new red band trailer for Deadpool!

This looks like a really fun movie with great action and funny dialogue. Ryan Reynolds just gets the character. This is one I have to see in theaters.

Independence Day: Resurgence - First Official Trailer

The aliens return in the first official trailer for Independence Day: Resurgence!

This looks like a lot of fun. It was a smart idea to take the alien tech from the original encounter to improve the Earth's own technology. The special effects look great, and I loved how they used the big speech from the original movie.

Directed by Roland Emmerich, the film stars Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Liam Hemsworth, Joey King, Maika Monroe, Vivica A. Fox, Judd Hirsch, William Fichtner, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Sela Ward, Angelababy, and Brent Spiner.

Here is a short synopsis:

"After Independence Day redefined the event movie genre, the next epic chapter delivers global catastrophe on an unimaginable scale. Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens' advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction."

Independence Day: Resurgence will arrive in US theaters on June 24, 2016.

X-Men: Apocalypse - First Official Trailer

The end is nigh in the first official trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse!

Apocalypse looks a lot better in the trailer than he did previously released photos. Either way, this looks like a fun blockbuster.

Directed by Bryan Singer, the film stars Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Sophie Turner, Rose Byrne, Nicholas Hoult, Evan Peters, Alexandra Shipp, Olivia Munn, Lucas Till, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Ben Hardy, Tye Sheridan, Lana Condor, and Oscar Isaac.

Here is a short synopsis:

"Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel's X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor Xavier (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction."

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Official Trailer 2

Doomsday appears in the new trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice!

Still not sure about Lex Luthor, but it is exciting to see Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman teaming up against the devastating Doomsday. Just as exciting, this film will be a catalyst for several more DC Comics based movies, including the eventual release of a Justice League film. Hopefully Warner Bros. can keep the quality of the films up.

Directed by Zack Snyder, the film stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Jesse Eisenberg, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane, Holly Hunter, and Jason Momoa.

Here is an official synopsis:

It will be interesting to see how they handle so many characters, even if the focus is mainly on Captain America.

The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain."
