We recently attended the panel for the awesome-looking animated series Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Nickelodeon showed off a ton of footage from the series and it was a blast to watch, so we shot a reaction video for you to watch!
This series is going to be so much fun!
This series is a continuation of the super fun film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, and it will continue the story of the four Ninja Turtles.
According to the show’s description, “the Turtles will be challenged like never before as Leo, Raph, Donnie and Mikey each go it alone for the first time.
“Faced with new threats and teaming up with old allies, the Turtles will discover who they really are when they don’t have their brothers at their sides.”
Reprising their roles from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, the series features Micah Abbey as Donatello, Shamon Brown Jr. as Michelangelo, Nicolas Cantu as Leonardo, Brady Noon as Raphael and Ayo Edebiri as April O’Neil.
DC Studios drops the first trailer for James Gunn’s upcoming animated seriesCreature Commandos! This is the first project to be released under Gunn’s leadership at DC and it looks like it’s going to be a freakin’ blast!
The series “tracks a secret team of incarcerated monsters recruited for missions deemed too dangerous for humans. When all else fails…they’re your last, worst option.”
It seems like the writing for the series is solid, it looks like it will tell an interesting and fun story, and the animation is good quality work!
Gunn, who wrote the series previously said: “The new series picks up directly after our Peacemaker season one finale, which leaves Waller with her hands tied operationally, meaning that she’s no longer able to get away with putting human lives on the line to carry out her clandestine morally questionable missions. Instead, she recruits a ragtag band of misfits, not unlike the Suicide Squad and Peacemaker.”
The filmmaker went on to say that the Creature Commandos roster is made up of “actual literal monsters, and I can’t wait for you to meet them. Creating this series has been one of the absolute joys of my life.”
The team in the series consists of a human, a werewolf, a vampire, Frankenstein’s monster, and a gorgon. The voice cast includes David Harbour as Eric Frankenstein, Sean Gunnas Weasel and GI Robot, Frank Grilloas Rick Flag Sr., Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana Rostovic, Indira Varma as The Bride, Zoe Chao as Nina Mazursky, Alan Tudyk as Dr. Phosphorus, with Steve Agee reprising his role as John Economos from Peacemaker.
Creature Commandos will premiere on Max in December 2024. Watch the trailer and tell us what you think!
Last night at Comic-Con, I took the opportunity to go out and watch Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverinein a theater packed with hardcore fans, which is the best way to watch a movie like this! The energy was electric and everyone was having a freakin’ blast watching the movie.
Leading up to the screening, my excitement was through the roof. However, as the reviews started rolling in, I got a better idea of what to expect and they lowered my expectations a bit before stepping into the theater. There’s nothing wrong with going in with tempered expectations!
From the opening scene, Deadpool & Wolverine locked me in and took me on a bonkers and insane ride! It was a wildly fun movie that delivered exactly what I was hoping for!
The film is packed with hilarious humor, badass action, blood & guts, and the kind of irreverent antics that we all expect from Deadpool. I just found myself laughing out loud throughout the movie. But, the movie is also filled with heart and a surprising amount of emotion, which I appreciated.
The film had a strong balance of humor, insanity, and soul. It was clear that everyone in the theater was having an absolute blast! That said, the movie isn’t without its flaws.
While the overall story was engaging, I felt that some aspects could have been more developed. I would have liked to see the story and some of the characters fleshed out a little more. I think 20 to 30 minutes could’ve been shaved off the film and reallocated to deeper character development for some additional characters who are played with
One of the other exciting elements of Deadpool & Wolverine is the abundance of cameos. The movie is chock-full of surprise appearances, but there’s one cameo in particular that was my favorite part of the movie, it’s a real showstopper. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, but you’ll know it when you see it.
I loved all of the cameos though! It was so much fun seeing so many characters get packed into this movie, but not all of the rumored cameos made the cut. This didn’t detract from the overall enjoyment, though, as the ones that did appear were more than satisfying.
Director Shawn Levy did a spectacular job with this movie. He and his team managed to create a wild, chaotic, and thoroughly enjoyable MCU film that’s true to the spirit of Deadpool.
The action sequences are top-notch, the violence is satisfyingly over-the-top, and the crude humor is exactly what fans of the franchise have come to expect and love. It’s clear that Levy had a lot of fun making this movie, and that joy translates to the audience.
Deadpool & Wolverine is a movie that every Marvel fan will want to see. I don’t need to tell you to rush out to the theaters because I know you already have your tickets. So instead, I’ll just say this: enjoy the ride. This movie is a rollercoaster of awesome fun!
During Comic-Con, Prime Video revealed a first look at the third season of Robert Kirkman’sInvincibleanimated series. It’s a poster featuring Mark Grayson’s new suit.
There aren’t any additional details to share as Season 3 hasn’t even premiered yet. But, it was previously reported that Prime Video renewed the show for Seasons 4 and 5. Season 4 was confirmed at Comic-Con and it’s good to know that the story will continue.

Robert Kirkman previously said that he’s hoping to do seven or eight seasons: “I’m trying not to pin it down to a number, because it is somewhat of a moving target. I think in the seven-to-eight-season range seems like it would be enough.”
He added: “But there could be some things we move through a little faster, some things we expand. If we’re fortunate enough to go for a good long time, I think that would be enough to cover the entire comic.”
He continued: “And there are some things along the way that didn’t get into the comic that I’d like to do. I think it’d be cool to have some episodes here and there that are completely original. So that’s part of the plan moving forward.”
He also teased: “We want every [season three] episode to feel like it’s a finale. Season three is an absolutely huge season with so many crazy things that you won’t expect.”
He added, “And where we leave things at the end of season 3… Oh my god, I cannot wait for people to see that stuff.”
The story for the series “revolves around 18-year-old Mark Grayson, who’s just like every other guy his age—except his father is (or was) the most powerful superhero on the planet.
“Still reeling from Nolan’s betrayal in Season One, Mark struggles to rebuild his life as he faces a host of new threats, all while battling his greatest fear – that he might become his father without even knowing it.”
The series stars Steven Yeun, with Sandra Oh, Zazie Beetz, Grey DeLisle, Chris Diamantopoulos, Walton Goggins, Gillian Jacobs, Jason Mantzoukas, Ross Marquand, Khary Payton, Zachary Quinto, Andrew Rannells, Kevin Michael Richardson, Seth Rogen, and J.K. Simmons.
To celebrate a quarter century of SpongeBob SquarePants, Nickelodeon showed up yesterday in Hall H at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, and delivered an epic panel.
Fan-favorite Star Wars actor Mark Hamill made a surprise appearance to reveal that he’d be voicing the Flying Dutchman in the upcoming fourth SpongeBob film, The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, which is due out in 2025.
Hamill said of the project, “He’s the most fearsome goofball pirate you’ve ever seen. The movie is more cerebral. It’s more thoughtful, intellectually challenging. No, I’m just yanking your chain. It’s inspired silliness from start to finish.”
Voice actors Tom Kenny (SpongeBob), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick), Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward), Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs) and Mr. Lawrence (Plankton) took the stage to participate in a live table read of beloved pilot “Help Wanted.”
It was a good time for all SpongeBob fans. Are you looking forward to the next film in the franchise?
Lionsgate has released a new clip and poster for its upcoming reboot of The Crow, which a lot of people aren’t excited to see. Regardless of how the filmmakers try to spin it, there’s a lot of people that aren’t happy about this.
The clip features an action sequence that is clearly inspired by what we’ve seen in the John Wick franchise. It features The Crow in a brawl confined inside a car.
Director Rupert Sanders previously talked about the movie and tried to explain that it’s not just another Hollywood remake. He explained: “There’s nothing to do with Hollywood in this movie at all. it’s a very scrappy indie movie.”
He went on to tease that they wanted to make a film that was closer to creator James O’Barr’s source material. By making more of an indie-style film, the creative team was “able to remain close to the center and the darkness and the violence that’s in the graphic novel.”
The director added: “The only reason we could do that is because it’s not a studio movie.” He also said that the budget constraints made the film better: “You have to be more adept at making things more efficiently, that are emotionally resonant, and not just spectacle.”
In the film: “Soulmates Eric Draven (Skarsgård) and Shelly Webster (FKA Twigs) are brutally murdered when the demons of her dark past catch up with them. Given the chance to save his true love by sacrificing himself, Eric sets out to seek merciless revenge on their killers, traversing the worlds of the living and the dead to put the wrong things right.”
There’s been one early reaction to the film so far from Warrior screenwriter Cliff Dorfman, who said: “If hypothetically, one happened to see a screening of @TheCrow_Movie #thecrow which @Lionsgate is releasing in August, one might say, it’s horrible, it’s unwatchable, don’t waste your money, or can’t believe it’s so much worse than the original. It is. And don’t.”
This version of the movie also stars singer/actor FKA Twigs, Danny Huston (30 Days of Night), Laura Birn (Foundation), Sami Bouajila (A Son), and Jordan Bolger (The Woman King).
The Crow reboot will be released in theaters on August 23rd, 2024.
During the Comic-Con panel for Nickelodeon’s Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, they shared the opening title sequence for the series, and that has now been released online for everyone to watch and enjoy! It’s pretty cool!
This series was developed as a spinoff of the film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, and the series looks like it’ll be just as fun and entertaining as the movie.
The series explores the “adventures of everyone’s favorite pizza-loving heroes as they emerge from the sewers onto the streets of NYC. Leo, Raph, Donnie and Mikey are faced with new threats and team up with old allies to survive both teenage life and villains lurking in the shadows of the Big Apple.”
“Faced with new threats and teaming up with old allies, the Turtles will discover who they really are when they don’t have their brothers at their sides.”
Ramsey Naito, president of Paramount Animation & Nickelodeon Animation added: “Reinvigorating this franchise has been years in the making, and we are thrilled to continue expanding the beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe and bringing new adventures to families and fans.”
Reprising their roles from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, the series features Micah Abbey as Donatello, Shamon Brown Jr. as Michelangelo, Nicolas Cantu as Leonardo, Brady Noon as Raphael and Ayo Edebiri as April O’Neil.
This series is the fifth animated Ninja Turtles TV show to be developed. Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will premiere on August 9th!
Madame Web ended up being a laughably bad film that got hit with a lot of negative reviews and it bombed big-time at the box office. During a recent interview with CB, Lorenzo di Bonaventura talked about the film’s reception saying it feels like “an ax in the head.”
When asked about the possibility of seeing these characters again, the producer said: “I don’t have any idea. I, I really don’t know. Yeah, that, that was uh, that was a heartbreaking experience in the theater. So I’ll tell you that.”
When asked how it feels when a project doesn’t perform or connect with fans like you wanted it to, Bonaventura shared it is “like an axe in your head.”
He added: “I think one of the things, and, and this is a longer conversation which I’d be happy to have. I think one of the problems with streaming is that we don’t know how to judge failure or success, right?
“Opening weekend when it doesn’t work, you just got slammed side of your head. And so the brutalness of failure really makes you concentrate on the next movie. And I don’t want that experience again.
“So there’s a, it’s a harsher experience. So I think that has a lot to do with what kind of movies now that I look at, like, all right, how am I gonna approach this?”
The creative team behind Madame Web obviously had no clue what they were doing in regard to the story and characters. It’s sad because they do have a blueprint to follow in the source material, but they just through all that out the window and made something silly up.
One of the film’s co-stars, Emma Roberts, previously shared her thoughts on why the film bombed and blamed it on Internet culture.
She said: “Things work; things don’t work. Everyone likes to act like they can predict if they’re going to work or they’re not. And the truth is, you can’t.
“Things do badly, and then they blow up later on TikTok. Things do well, but then you watch them, and you’re like, ‘This did well?’ There is no secret. It’s about doing something goodish and it hitting at the right time.
“Everything else is like a wish and a prayer. I’m not intimidated by failure, and I’m not intimidated by people having negative thoughts about something.”
The fact of the matter is that they just went out and made a bad movie. It’s Hollywood, it happens! It’s not the first bad movie and it won’t be the last.
This is an awesome trailer that puts a focus on the Rings of Power and Sauron’s rise to power in Middle Earth. I loved the first season of this series and it’s looking like this second season is going to be bigger and better!
This is a Middle Earth story that I’ve always wanted to see brought to life and it looks like the creative team behind the show has pulled off something incredible and massive!
I can’t wait to see how this story plays out over the course of the next season! It’s sure to take fans on an amazing journey!
The series takes place “thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien‘s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.
“Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.
“From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.”
In Season 2, “Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel, without army or ally, the rising Dark Lord must now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power, which will allow him to bind all the peoples of Middle-earth to his sinister will.
“Building on Season 1’s epic scope and ambition, Season 2 of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power plunges even its most beloved and vulnerable characters into a rising tide of darkness, challenging each to find their place in a world that is increasingly on the brink of calamity.
“Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and Harfoots… as friendships are strained and kingdoms begin to fracture, the forces of good will struggle ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters to them most of all… each other.”
The Rings of Power Season 2 premieres August 29th on Prime Video.
The Boys universe is expanding with a new prequel spinoff series titled Vught Rising. The series was announced at Comic-Con by Jensen Ackles, who will star in the series reprising his role as Soldier Boy.
Ackles will also be joined by Aya Cash, who will reprise her role as Stormfront. This has been the biggest TV announcement at Comic-Con so far and the fans in Hall H were super excited when it was revealed.
The Boys series executive producer Paul Grellong will serve as executive producer and showrunner on Vought Rising, which was created by the main creative team behind The Boys franchise, led by Eric Kripke.
Kripke and Grellong offered details on the series saying: “We are excited to bring you the next deranged series from the world of The Boys, Kripke and Grellong said, before lifting the veil on the time period and premise of the prequel.
“It’s a twisted murder mystery about the origins of Vought in the 1950s, the early exploits of Soldier Boy, and the diabolical maneuvers of a Supe known to fans as Stormfront, who was then going by the name Clara Vought.
“We cannot wait to blow your minds and trouble your souls with this salacious, grisly saga drenched in blood and Compound V.”
Ackles’ Soldier Boy is the first American non-aging Supe, created by Frederick Vought during World War II. Stormfront was Frederick Vought’s first successful test subject for Compound V and she married him before they moved to the U.S.
Grellong and Kripke are joined by producers Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Neal H. Moritz, Ori Marmur, Pavun Shetty, Ken Levin, Jason Netter, Garth Ennis, Darick Robertson, and Michaela Starr.
The series is produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios, in association with Kripke Enterprises, Point Grey Pictures, and Original Film.
