The fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has quite managed to take flight yet. While Black Widow was meant to be released this summer, and Eternals was set to land in November, both films have had to have their release dates shuffled as the world continues to react to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Should that reshuffling continue into the end of the year, there’s a strong chance that phase four may well begin on TV in the form of the hotly anticipated Disney + shows. The Falcon and The Winter Soildier is still out filming, but it looks like WandaVision may almost be ready to unleash upon the world.

With Vision (Paul Bettany) meeting his end by the hands of Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, it would seem Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) is having a little trouble letting go. Constructing fantasies of idyllic sitcom-esque suburban life, Wanda and Vision attempt to live as sweet a life as possible. But how long can that fantasy be maintained?

As the Marvel franchise has developed, it has gained the confidence to get more ambitious, more adventurous, and much more weird. If this trailer is anything to go by, WandaVision looks to be their oddest tale yet. With echoes of comic book faithful costume recreations, to the emulating of different sitcom styles, from Bewitched to Full House, WandaVision looks set to take fans on a mind-bending trip where the line between illusion and reality is blurred, delivering a Marvel tale unlike anything fans have seen before.

While no set date has been announced, it looks at though WandaVision is still aiming for a 2020 release on Disney+, with a December launch looking most likely.

The first trailer for the latest adaptation of Frank Herbert’s epic science fiction classic Dune, has finally arrived. Coming from Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 director Denis Villeneuve, the latest take on Dune sports one of the starriest casts of recent memory, giving this adaptation an extra bit of spice.

Timothée Chalamet stars as Paul Atreides, the son of Duke Atreides (Oscar Isaac) and Bene Gesserit Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson). When his father accepts stewardship of the planet Arrakis (commonly referred to as Dune), the only source of the powerful ‘spice’ substance in the universe, Paul’s destiny is changed forever as he is introduced to the world of the Fremen, the natives of Arrakis. The rest of the cast includes such names as Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Zendaya, Charlotte Rampling, Jason Mamoa, Dave Bautista and Stellan Skarsgård.

Dune has been adapted for cinema once before, back in 1984 by director David Lynch. While that film has since gone on to become something of a cult favourite, it was a critical and financial failure upon release, with Lynch himself effectively disowning the movie. More success was had with a TV mini-series in 2000, but it is clearly no easy task to bring to life Herberts world of complicated politics, warring factions, detailed cultures, supernatural abilities and giant sand-worms. With Villeneuve being behind some of the most stunning sci-fi’s of recent memory, will this trip back to the planet of Dune be a more successful venture?

Without further ado, here’s the first trailer:

Now, that’s one packed trailer. With a clear emphasis on real world locations and tactile production design, the world of Dune already feels tangible, real and dangerous. Many of the details on display ion this first taste look to be very faithful to Herbert’s novel, and even has shades of Lynch’s styling as the trailer sets out the tensions that await Paul and his family when they move to Arrakis.

The real money shot though, is in the tease of the overwhelming size of the sand-worms that shift beneath the surface of Arrakis’ landscape. It’s an impressive glimpse of what Villeneuve has forged from Herbert’s world, in an adaptation that clearly looks like it’s up to the task of transporting us away to experience all the spectacle that this classic story has to offer.

Dune is set to be released in cinemas from December 18th 2o20.

The second trailer for the 25^th James Bond film, titled ‘No Time To Die’, gives audiences the biggest insight so far into Daniel Craig’s farewell to the iconic spy franchise.

The action-packed trailer features a number of awe-inspiring stunts and spectacular set pieces, much like the ones that veteran fans have come to expect over the years. Returning stars include Léa Seydoux, Ralph Fiennes, Naomi Harris, Jeffrey Wright and Christoph Waltz, with the trailer spotlighting a dark secret at the heart of Bond’s world, as well as the villain, Safin, played by ‘Mr Robot’ and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ star Rami Malek.

‘No Time To Die’ marks Craig’s fifth and final big screen appearance as the suave secret agent, having made his debut in ‘Casino Royale’ back in 2006. Craig’s darker and more complex portrayals of Bond have made him a fan favourite and more than justified his selection in the first place.

Doubts about his future were raised after his appearance in 2015’s ‘Spectre’, where he hinted that he did not want to continue as Bond, but was convinced to make a final appearance as a full stop on his tenure.

Further concerns mounted when reports surfaced of a series of major production difficulties. It was announced that chosen director Danny Boyle, legendary in British cinema, would be departing due to creative differences. This, combined with the ongoing pandemic, forced the cinema release to be delayed from April 2020 until November.

After this, Daniel Craig reportedly suffered an ankle injury on set in Jamaica, with the delay causing scheduling difficulties with Rami Malek, limiting the time during which the two could shoot their scenes. Later, legendary singer Grace Jones, who appeared in ‘A View To A Kill’, left the project over her displeasure with the size of her role.

Despite the difficulties the production has faced, the newest trailer looks to reprise all of the key elements that fans love about the series. Billie Eilish’s theme song released to critical and commercial acclaim earlier this year, and fans are optimistic about sending Daniel Craig off on a high.
