Spider-Man: Brand New Day Trailer & Poster

Marvel/Sony

A new trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day has arrived. It looks like Peter Parker has really had it rough since the world forgot him. And now, his mutation is evolving.

Here's the official synopsis from Marvel & Sony: 

It's a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see.

The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives in theaters on July 31st. A special Amazon Prime early screening hits theaters on July 29th.

"Along the Way" - Moana

Disney

Lin-Manuel Miranda has written a new song for Disney's live-action Moana. "Along the Way" is performed by Maui (Dwayne Johnson), and two Moanas: the original animated Moana (Auli'i Cravalho) and the new live-action Moana (Catherine Lagaʻaia). The result is fantastic.

Moana arrives in theaters on July 10th.

The Mandalorian's N-1 Starfighter LEGO

The LEGO sets from The Mandalorian are so fun. I recently acquired the N-1 Starfighter set from a few years ago. It has four minifigs: Din Djarin, Grogu, Peli Motto, and a tiny BD Droid. It's a great addition to my ever-growing Star Wars LEGO collection.

Gatto Teaser & Poster

The first teaser trailer and poster for Pixar's Gatto have arrived. This animated movie looks hilarious: it's a mob story starring cats, set in Venice.

Here's the official synopsis from Pixar: 

Mark Ruffalo has joined the voice cast as the scrappy black cat Nero, and Laurence Fishburne will voice the ruthless mob boss cat Rocco. The teaser trailer introduces Nero and Rocco as they question another cat in a funny interrogation scene.

In “Gatto,” after years of maneuvering the canal-ridden, superstitious city of Venice, Italy, Nero begins to question whether he’s lived the right lives. Indebted to Rocco, the local feline mob boss, Nero finds himself in a quandary and is forced to forge a truly unexpected friendship that may finally lead him to his purpose—unless Venice gets the better of him first.

Gatto arrives in theaters on March 5, 2027.

Moana

The final trailer for Disney's live-action Moana has arrived and it looks amazing. With each new trailer, we see a little more of the characters and special effects. Tamatoa looks incredible and sounds incredible as Jemaine Clement is back to voice the giant gold-hoarding crab.

Here's the official synopsis from Disney: 

In Disney’s live-action reimagining of the beloved animated adventure, Moana (Catherine Lagaʻaia) answers the Ocean’s call and, for the first time, voyages beyond the reef of her island of Motunui with the infamous demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson) on an unforgettable journey to restore prosperity to her people.

Moana arrives in theaters on July 10th.
