(Weirdly, Chris Evans played Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, in those films, years before he was cast in Captain America: The First Avenger.) A new, rebooted version hit theaters in 2015. The FF first hit big screens in 2005 there was a sequel in 2007. The film was originally scheduled for November 8, 2024, and has been moved to February 14, 2025. The FF is Marvel Comics’ first super-team (their first issue was published in 1961). He previously said that 2017’s Logan would be his last turn as the character, although he cameoed in 2018’s Deadpool 2.Īnother highly anticipated entry to the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the Fantastic Four. The film also promises the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. That’s because they were owned by Fox at the time (all Fox properties are now owned by Disney). The first two Deadpool films existed outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That film will see the “Merc With The Mouth,” played by Ryan Reynolds, entering the MCU. The much-anticipated Deadpool 3 has been moved from Septemto November 8, 2024. But that series didn’t take place in the MCU proper. This is Ali’s second time playing a Marvel character: he previously played Cottonmouth in 2016’s Luke Cage, season 1. This iteration of the film stars Mahershala Ali as Blade he made a cameo (well, his voice did) in a post-credits scene in 2021’s The Eternals.

Per Deadline, Blade, the reboot of Marvel’s first major film franchise has been moved from Novemto September 6, 2024.

There are worse ways to spend 90 minutes.SAN DIEGO, CA - JULY 21: Actor Mahershala Ali during Netflix/Marvel's 'Luke Cage' panel at Comic-Con International 2016 at San Diego Convention Center on Jin San Diego, California. Overall, it's not bad and I'd watch it again. The only complaint I have about the fight scenes is that they could be longer but I think that's more of a compliment to the quality of the action sequences and the stunt work. It's the kind of action that just straddles the line of schlock but stays within the range of acceptability that makes them really cool. The sword fights are really well choreographed and the slow-motion wirework stunts are awesome. The reason to watch this film isn't for the story, or the performances, or the cheesy special effects, and not even for the couple shots of the two lead female actresses topless, but it's for the action scenes. The story exists to motivate the characters into the next action sequence. The storyline, I would suspect, is one that would probably be considered average or below-average for a tokusatsu action film but, as far as stories go in general it's kind of a means to an end. Tonally, because of the mixed performances it's a bit scatterbrained for the first few minutes. The biggest issue I have with the acting is that, being so inconsistent, the acting had me wondering if this was an action film or some kind of comedy. The quality of the acting is all over the place. I'm not at all familiar enough with Japanese tokusatsu film or television to give an adequate comparison or barometer of what one might come to expect from a film like this but if I could attempt a brief description: it's a 90 minute action drama starring a very attractive girl fighting goons and other very attractive girls in a style indicative of tokusatsu. I came across this on Amazon Prime Japan and became curious since I was aware of Asuka Kirara and the single she put out in promotion for this film.
