Shazam (WB)

Release Date: April 5, 2019

*Status: Post-production

We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s case, by shouting out one word – SHAZAM! – this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult superhero Shazam

The second trailer for Shazam! is reportedly arriving this month. Directed by David F. Sandberg, the next DCEU film will debut Zachary Levi as the titular character alongside Asher Angel playing his human alter-ego, young Billy Batson. The dual-personality hero will take on Doctor Sivana, who will be brought to life by Mark Strong. Not much is known regarding plot specifics for the flick, as Warner Bros. is keeping details tightly under wraps. –ScreenRant

Whenever he utters the word “SHAZAM” he is struck by a magical bolt and calls upon the heroes and gods of various mythologies, (gaining the power and abilities of Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury) transforming into Captain Marvel.courtesy of comic vine

“Captain Marvel is often mistakenly referred to by his mentor, the wizard Shazam’s, name. The confusion comes from legal issues surrounding Captain Marvel’s publication/trademark history.”

*Official trailer

*Shazam stars: Zachary Levi (Shazam), Mark Strong (Dr. Thaddeus Sivana), Djimon Hounsou (The Wizard), Michelle Borth, Adam Brody, Natalia Safran (Mrs. Sivana), Jack Dylan Grazer (Freddy Freeman), Asher Angel (Billy Batson), Grace Fulton (Mary Bromfield)

Avengers: Endgame (MCU)

*Release Date: April 26, 2019

Status: Post-production

Adrift in space with no food or water, Tony Stark sends a message to Pepper Potts as his oxygen supply starts to dwindle. Meanwhile, the remaining Avengers — Thor, Black Widow, Captain America and Bruce Banner — must figure out a way to bring back their vanquished allies for an epic showdown with Thanos — the evil demigod who decimated the planet and the universe.

The good news, which Marvel boss Kevin Feige just gave fans, is that the trailers, TV spots, and all the other marketing footage Marvel will use before the film’s April 26th debut will not spoil Endgame in any way. It’s not like we expected Marvel or Disney to slip up and reveal Avengers 4 secrets ahead of their time, but Feige confirmed that marketing videos will be limited to the first few minutes of the film.

Avengers: Infinity War is a two-part sequel to The Avengers, and Avengers: Age of Ultron. Expect to see a bunch of Avengers, Black Panther, some Guardians Of The Galaxy, and more.

Status: Post-production

Jean Grey begins to develop incredible powers that corrupt and turn her into a Dark Phoenix. Now the X-Men will have to decide if the life of a team member is worth more than all the people living in the world.

 

Get familiar with Dark Phoenix:

Dark Phoenix was a human named Jean Grey. The Phoenix Force’s fall from grace – a state wherein it became corrupted by power. The Phoenix entity became too strong to control, for the merely human aspects it had acquired from Jean, but the other X-Men had no way to know what was happening and little chance of preventing a tragedy. Professor X helped Jean establish “psychic circuit breakers” in her mind, but they became less and less effective.

Known Powers: Like Jean Grey-Summers, the Dark Phoenix used telepathy and telekinesis, but at a much higher level. She was able to rearrange the molecular structure of matter and fly at supersonic speeds. Using the Phoenix Force, she could travel through hyperspace and destroy Shi’ar battlecruisers with little effort. -X-Men Wikia

We know Mysterio is the main villain in Far From Home.

Status: Post-production

Five young mutants, just discovering their abilities while held in a secret facility against their will, fight to escape their past sins and save themselves.

Get familiar with The New Mutants:

They were adolescents- kids- too young to be X-Men, but old enough to start the training that would allow them to fully understand and harness their profound mutant powers. Professor X brought together Cannonball, Karma, Moonstar, Wolfsbane, and Sunspot to become the first New Mutants team. Over time, Magma (Amara Aquilla), Cypher, Warlock, and Magik were added to the team and, as they learned to become more powerful mutants together, they learned another important lesson: It’s okay to act like normal kids. The New Mutants enjoyed their status as mutants and their youth. But when duty called, maturity set in, and the New Mutants went into action- though sometimes not without consequence.
