Captain America throws new trailer and poster at the world

It has been a big summer filled with huge hits and major flops, and it is only June.  And still on the docket, one of the biggest releases of the year is due next month when Captain America jumps to the big screen to beat on some Ratzis with his shield and super soldier infused fists. And with just under a month to go before the release of Marvel’s final pre-Avengers outing—and arguably the most important solo movie—the advertising blitz (pun intended) has begun.

The trailer below gives a bit more of a look at the story for Captain America. You have the young and scrawny Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) volunteer for a program to make him more of a soldier. After the successful experiment, he becomes the prime weapon in the fight against Hydra, the Nazis’ scientific and terror group led by the Red Skull (Hugo Weaving). Along the way, Cap puts foot to ass in the name of truth, justice and apple pie.

Look for Captain America: The First Avenger in theaters on July 22.

It's not hard to see why Lucasfilm gave the green light to the upcoming Mandalorian & Grogu movie. No new characters from the new Disney era are as widely beloved as they are. In a time when so many Star Wars films have been announced and subsequently abandoned, a movie based on The Mandalorian feels like a surefire hit.

And yet, everything else about this film remains a mystery. What's the story? When does it even take place? None of that is known. But I think we can agree that the following five things need to be addressed in the upcoming film.
1. The right epic feel and scope

Everything you need to know about Andor season 2
Cassian aims his gun in Andor.

Andor is arguably Lucasfilm's crowning achievement of the 21st century. While that may be up for debate, there's no denying the success of Andor season 1, culminating with universal acclaim from critics and eight Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series. It's certainly the most mature Star Wars project to date.

Created by Tony Gilroy, Andor stars Diego Luna as Cassian Andor, the petty thief who will eventually become a key leader and spy for the Rebel Alliance. Andor is a prequel set five years before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the film where Luna first introduced audiences to Cassian. It's been a long time since Andor season 1 ended in November 2022. Slowly but surely, season 2 is on the way. Below is everything you need to know about Andor season 2.
Is there a release date for Andor season 2?
There is no release date for Andor season 2 yet. Andor season 2 was originally scheduled to be released in August 2024, two years after season 1 premiered. However, the series experienced several production delays while filming because of the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes. Therefore, Andor season 2 had to move its late summer 2024 release date.
