First, sit back and enjoy the unfettered insanity of Avengers: Infinity War!

Look, Marvel Studios have essentially conquered the world! In almost a decade, they have released almost 20 hit movies and have changed the way people look at superhero movies. From the release of Iron Man to the insanity of Thor: Ragnarok, Marvel have made sure that their films are as entertaining as possible.

The man behind the entire universe, i.e Kevin Feige has said, many times, that Marvel is looking at the long term, not the short term. Unlike their counterparts at DC, the team behind the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) have in ten years crafted a comic-book universe that has influenced all of Hollywood. Hell, even Universal studios tried adding in their Dark Universe to the mix but failed miserably.

We all went out and watched ‘Justice League’ and what a letdown that was. Considering that DC has been trying incredibly hard to crack the code, Marvel just sat back and dropped the insane new trailer for ‘Avengers: Infinity War’. And what a bloody amazing trailer it is! We’ve got Thanos crushing the heroes of the Marvel Universe. We’ve got the new Iron Spider suit which looks AMAZING! And we’ve also got Thanos putting on the Infinity Gauntlet!

A one-eyed Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy also make the cut and we finally see Marvel’s space heroes interact with other members of the Marvel universe. Bearded Cap? Yes, please!

It’s been a long time since the first Ironman came out and this trailer is the culmination of everything that Marvel has been working towards. The end of the Avengers as we know it!

We’re not sure if the film will follow the events of the comic-book, but if it does, then we might just be seeing the death of a ton of Marvel heroes. Holy Moley!

Man, we just can’t catch a break, can we? After the madness that was the Justice League trailer, the reveal of the Infinity War footage and just a ton of crazy shit, Marvel have just gone and stomped everyone’s sand castles down into the dirt and slapped us with the latest ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ trailer. And it looks good, it looks damn good. I mean, just look at the bloody poster!

Thor

Y’all know the drill. Hela, played by a scene stealing Cate Blanchett, is pissed off and lays waste to Asgard, flinging the God of Thunder all across the galaxy (pun intended) and smashing Mjolnir. Thor lands on a backwater planet where he is kidnapped and forced to fight in a gladiatorial arena. The Hulk shows up and proceeds to kick the Thunder God’s ass! And it’s freaking glorious.

The footage looks very cool with that awesome synthwave beat pulsating in the background. Marvel, my heart and soul are ready! I’m no Marvel fanboy, always been a DC stable, until Geoff Johns destroyed the company, but their trailers always manage to appeal to the nerd in me.

Oh, did I mention Loki? Yeah, he’s back. The fan favourite villain is back with that sly smirk and is ready to kick some serious ass alongside his brother.

And what can I say about the Hulk? Wow, If Marvel aren’t getting the rights back for Universal for a solo Hulk film, I’d just rather they do a whole bunch of Hulk team up movies. For sure! That final shot of the Hulk leaping into a fight with Surtur, the fire demon, is the bloody money shot.

The action is kinetic and the colours pop out of the screen. If there is one thing we know about Marvel is that they know how to get your blood flowing with a damn good fight scene. We can’t wait for November.

Check out the insane trailer below.

Comic Con is in full swing and new trailers have been hitting the net faster than the Flash. First, we got news of some incredible ‘Infinity War’ footage from Marvel Studios as they revealed the Black Hand of Thanos. Not to be outdone, DC Comics had their own warhead up their sleeve in the form of the brand spanking new ‘Justice League’ trailer.

Look, we all have to admit that ‘Batman v. Superman’ kinda sucked. It was disjointed and the end battle was a huge CGI fight against a cave troll from the ‘Lord of the Rings’ series that just wandered off the set of the latest Tolkien film. Naturally, fans were disappointed and were jumping off the DC bandwagon. Then came the travesty that was ‘Suicide Squad’ and it seemed like the end was near. But, DC had a small miracle in ‘Wonder Woman’ and it wasn’t a monumental shift or anything but it did help steady the ship.

So, in light of all that we’ve now got 4 minutes of insane footage from the new ‘Justice League’ film and boy does it look crazy. Ok, we can’t say what the story and pacing of the film are but looking at the footage, we can sure as hell say that it looks like a lot of fun.

We get a look at Steppenwolf, the newest villain to be introduced to the DC Universe. He looks menacing enough and sets up the arrival of Darkseid perfectly.

Also thrown in are a few cool moments with Cyborg taking control of the Batmobile and going apeshit and Aquaman using a poor Paradaemon as a landing platform.
