It seems I've done these posts too often over the last 11 years of this blog, but nonetheless , here's another:
I've been away from here for pretty much a year and a half now, due to side effects of illness and serious illness of my daughter, but Kryptonianwarrior.com is dear to me and I want to come back to it and carry on with the entertainment world updates most who come to the page are accustomed to. So starting soon I'll be back to posting, on top of recently starting my own Twitch gaming channel which you can find here: https://twitch.tv/kryptonianwarrior or by clicking the image below. As always - thanks to those of you that have visited, or continue to do so!
EDIT: This is an old post. Those of you coming here in July 2019 thinking it's new because you've seen it on Facebook - It was accidentally "boosted" by someone on FB (not me) and that's why you're seeing it! Thanks anyway! :D
I'm of the age where I grew up watching the original 80's He-Man and She-Ra cartoons so this reboot from Dreamworks and Netflix does scratch that little nostalgic itch for me, but we'll have to see if it's actually any good on November 16th 2018 when it gets released. :)
What is arguably the best of the Netflix/Marvel collabs is returning for a 3rd season soon, and oh my does it look good again.
Daredevil beats the other shows like Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and even The Punisher as far as I'm concerned, and it never feels like the long and arduous slog the other shows do.
Another X-Men movie which I'm not excited for. Such a shame that Marvel/Disney didn't have the rights from day 1 to do these movies and have some Avengers crossovers later on. In the future we may be lucky, and happy, but for now I'm really unimpressed with anythings live-action when it comes to Marvel's Mutants!
Not only does the Bumblebee movie look better than all the previous Transformers movies put together but it also showcases Gen-1 versions of the Autobots and Decepticons! :D
Very late to the party here, but nonetheless below is the first full trailer (currently at over 41 million views!) for the upcoming Marvel Studios movie Captain Marvel along with the poster and some official images.
I haven't been able to post in well over a month (regular posting should resume soon!) so here's a quick look at the entertainment news I've missed:
Wonder Woman 1984 cast and director photo copying The Breakfast Club.
First BTS photo of Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth on the set of the new Men In Black reboot movie.
The first official image of Isabella Moner as Dora the Explorer in the new live-action movie.
First official image of Yifei Liu as Mulan in the live-action remake of the Disney film.
Gal Gadot announced her role as "Shank" in Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet, a racer not unlike her Fast and Furious character.
Both Chris Pine and Chris Hemsworth have dropped out of the 4th Star Trek reboot movie, so it will probably now be cancelled... How can you have Star Trek without Kirk?
Tom Cruise is said to be the front-runner to play Green Lantern in the new DC movie, but only if they re-write the script which had his character (Hal Jordan?) die at the end...
Fox is developing new movies based on it's biggest animated franchises!
The new DC animated movies have been announced (I can't wait!).
The Flash's new season suit has been shown to us and there are mixed feelings online from Fans. Actor Grant Gustin says it's favourite whilst others hate the new helmet and skinny neck look.
The dates for the highly anticipated CW Arrowverse crossover episodes have been released and this is the one where we'll finally meet one of the Bat-Family - Batwoman, played by Ruby Rose. Superman will also return and will be bringing Lois Lane with him.
LazyTown's Robbie Rotten actor Stefan Karl Stefansson has passed away from cancer at only 43 years old. A huge part of my two daughters' TV upbringing. R.I.P
In a surprise appearance on stage at the Las Vegas Star Trek convention this week actor Patrick Stewart shocked the crowd by announcing that he would be returning to the Star Trek universe as his most beloved character "Jean-Luc Picard". The new CBS show (which has nothing to do with the new Discovery series) has no scripts, no name, and no other cast members yet, but we know that Stewart made absolutely clear that Picard may no longer be a Captain and the version we will see on screen will be very different from the one we know. I'm presuming he means this is a retired character, not the adventurous, space-travelling one we're used to.
Either way, Star Trek fans should be happy for his return to the role. I wonder what cameos we'll see from The Next Generation?!
So the main cast for the Charlie's Angels reboot has been announced and we now know that Elizabeth Banks will not only be directing and producing the film but will also portray Bosley. We then have Naomi Scott, Ella Balinska, and Kristen Stewart as the Angels themselves, although I'm not sure which character each actress is playing yet.
Pretty sure this'll be less tongue-in-cheek and more kick-ass than the previous couple of films with Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu!
I've held back on the Birds of Prey movie news as I wanted to know who the main villain would be, and now we know, as yesterday it was announced that it'll be none other than Black Mask.
We've never seen a live-action version of Black Mask before, only video game and cartoon iterations, so this should be pretty cool. Add that to Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn and it should be fun too.
We also know that the Birds of Prey team will consist of Black Canary, Huntress, Cassandra Cain, and Renee Montoya, but no casting news has been released yet. I have my hopes for a couple of actresses here, but we'll see what happens. :)
Now before you get too worked up it should be made clear that this is for the CW network in conjunction with their DC TV shows like Arrow, Flash etc and Ruby will be portraying Ms. Kane/Batwoman on the new crossover episode that's coming up soon. It's not for anything like the Birds of Prey movie etc.
Ruby stated on Instagram: "The Bat is out of the bag and I am beyond thrilled and honored. I’m also an emotional wreck.. because this is a childhood dream. This is something I would have died to have seen on TV when I was a young member of the LGBT community who never felt represented on tv and felt alone and different.
Thank you everyone. Thank you god."
I, for one, am ecstatic. I love Ruby Rose and I love all Batman/Gotham characters. Can't wait!
Here's the first 'official' pic from the upcoming Terminator 2: Judgement Day sequel featuring Natalia Reyes, Mackenzie Davis, and the return of the OG - Linda Hamilton (reprising her iconic role as Sarah Connor).
The movie is produced by James Cameron but directed this time by Tim Miller and this film purposefully dismisses all sequels following the second movie by Cameron. There are no plot details yet, or even a confirmed movie title, but the movie will reunite Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger as well as introducing a new Terminator in the guise of Gabriel Luna (best known for portraying Robbie Reyes/Ghost Rider on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D).
Pretty sure the amount of people dreading this film are equal to those who are happy it's being made, but I'm in the latter. :)
In bonus news for Timeless fans like me we've just heard that a deal has been struck to create a 2 hour finale/mini movie that will finish off the cliffhanger story-line at the end of season 2 after NBC cancelled the show (for a second time!) and scuppered any chances for a 3rd season. It's not the news us fans wanted, but it's good news nonetheless. Loved this show! :D
Matt Groening, of Simpsons and Futurama fame, has a new show coming out on Netflix soon called 'Disenchantment'. I've posted up stuff about it before but now you have a few introductory videos via Youtube to start you off and whet your appetites for a new cartoon to binge-watch while we all wait for Rick and Morty to return!
