    New ‘Nope’ Trailer Offers First Look at Alien Ship

    It looks like a new trailer has dropped for Jorden Peele’s third film, Nope. With a surprisingly simple title, it has left many wondering what exactly it is going to be about as we’ve already seen him tackle some curious out-there concepts. Yet, it looks like theories are being confirmed more and more, as a new trailer seemingly dropped during the NBA finals, which featured the first look at an alien ship from the film, as shared by Fandango’s @ErikDavis.

    The flying saucer looks closer to the cliché version we’ve seen in Hollywood throughout the years. Many theorized that it’ll very likely feature aliens of some kind, as the first trailer included some curious details that hinted at their inclusion. Yet, the trailer was purposefully vague to not give away what exactly is about.

    The new trailer has now yet found its way online. So, we might have to wait a little longer before it gets revealed but it does seem like they are still actively working on it. There were rumors hinting that it may get delayed, as it already has in some select countries. So, we’ll have to wait and see if we get an official announcement.

    The first trailer offered a small glimpse of what might be the alien creatures, but this is our first look at a sequence that was heavily hinted at. We saw Daniel Kaluuya‘s character racing off on his horse with a giant shadow hanging behind him. Now we know what exactly that shadow truly was.

  • ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Gets Earlier Release Date in India

    ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Gets Earlier Release Date in India

    It looks like India is getting Thor: Love and Thunder. little earlier than the rest of the world, as the official Twitter account has shared a new visual alongside the confirmation that the film is going to release on July 7th, a day earlier. In a way, it’s the perfect Thorsday gift for those that have been anticipating the next major entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

    For some time, Europe received MCU films almost a week earlier but that practice has gone down as of late. Nowadays, they are eyeing a worldwide release around the same time, but that isn’t always given, such as Japan famously getting releases a little later. You can check out the official tweet confirming the early release date here:

    It’s certainly a nice touch and we’ll see if other countries may also get an earlier release to celebrate the latest MCU entry. There’s a lot of banking on Love and Thunder, as it’s the first fourth entry in any franchise under the MCU banner. Not only that, but Taika Waititi has promised the film will be quite a bit different to offer something a bit more romantic, as they continue to explore new genres and diversify their portfolio while testing out the waters in Phase 4.

  • REPORT: ‘The Bad Batch’ Season 2 Release Date Revealed

    REPORT: ‘The Bad Batch’ Season 2 Release Date Revealed

    The first look at Season 2 of the Star Wars animated series The Bad Batch came through a trailer released at Star Wars Celebration and while it came with a Fall 2022 placeholder, no firm release date was given. One Take News has come across a date and it looks like it’s coming a little sooner than most expected.

    According to the report, the next round of adventures for Clone Force 99 will kick off on September 28th. It seems that a listing on Disney+ has included a banner with a release date.

    The new season looks to take place after a bit of a time jump from the end of Season 1, as Omega has aged up a bit and the gang is sporting new grey and orange armor. The trailer also revealed that Gungi, a fan-favorite Wookie Jedi from The Clone Wars animated series, will be part of Season 2, leading to some pretty fun theories about what might go down.

    A September release for The Bad Batch means that Lucasfilm will have two Star Wars properties streaming simultaneously, with the 12-episode first season of Andor scheduled for a two-episode debut on August 31st. In addition, Marvel Studios will also be streaming She-Hulk during the same window, giving fans plenty of content to consume.

    The Morning After Huddle: June 3, 2022

    Welcome to your Friday edition of The Morning After Huddle, your favorite source for NFL news. The captain of the ”all ski mask” team (seriously, the guy has made a whopping $82 million in career earnings) is finally retiring.

    Here’s what you need to know:

    • Fitzmagic is no more! Journeyman Ryan Fitzpatrick announced his retirement. After 17 years and 9 teams, he is hanging up his cleats and (possibly) stepping into a role with Prime Video for a key part in Amazon’s NFL coverage.
    • Frank Gore and Alex Mack are also retiring. Gore will sign a 1-day contract to retire a 49er. Regarding Alex Mack, hanging it up is inevitable after Mack restructured his contract in a way that is consistent with players prior to retirement.
    • On today’s episode of As Deshaun Watson Turns, it was discovered in the 23rd lawsuit that Watson offered the other 22 Plaintiffs $100,000 to settle their cases. Reports notate that not all would accept that amount due to the aggressive nature of a proposed NDA. Remember, the Dolphins wanted all cases resolved before potentially trading for Watson.
    • Finally, your Key Signings Roundup: The Buffalo Bills are signing Tavon Austin. Austin has played with four teams in his career, most recently with the Jaguars. The Vikings are signing DE Jonathan Bullard, adding quality veteran depth.

    That was quite a lot to unpack. Take a breath and come back Saturday for more news you want to know!

    SGF: Insomniac’s ‘Spider-Man: Miles Morales’ Also Heading to PC This Year

It’s rather bizarre that the Insomniac game wasn’t featured during the actual event with the trailer. The Spider-Man Remastered is heading to PC on August 12th, 2022 while Miles Morales won’t release until Fall.

  • ‘Top Gun Maverick’ Director Opens Up on Why Disney Canceled ‘Tron 3’

    ‘Top Gun Maverick’ Director Opens Up on Why Disney Canceled ‘Tron 3’

    Joseph Kosinski is currently on top of his game as he’s flying high on the successes of his latest film, Top Gun: Maverick. Getting a chance to work again with Tom Cruise after Oblivion, he’s led to a record-breaking Memorial Day weekend. Now, he’s reflecting back on what would’ve been the sequel to his Tron: Legacy.

    In an interview with Vulture, he reveals it would’ve been titled Tron: Ascension. It seems that he had already storyboarded and written the title, it was Disney that killed the project back in 2015. “I got so close. I really tried,” he revealed, as it was meant to invert the concept with the digital characters entering the real world, and how these two worlds “blending” into each other.

    But it was a different Disney by 2015. When I made ‘Tron: Legacy,’ they didn’t own Marvel; they didn’t own ‘Star Wars.’ We were the play for fantasy and science fiction. And once you’ve got those other things under your umbrella, it makes sense that you’re going to put your money into a known property and not the weird art student with black fingernails in the corner — that was ‘Tron.’ And that’s okay.

    Joseph Kosinski

    He does go on to highlight that he’s okay with his Tron sequel taking on a cult movement similar to the first, while also highlighting that he’s not holding a grudge with what happened, as it also opened another door for him to tackle the Only the Brave. A new third Tron film is on the way with Lion‘s director Garth Davis attached, which will see Jared Leto potentially in the lead.
