Here’s What We Know About the Spider-Man: Far From Home Trailer

Spider-Man hugs Iron Man Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War
When attendants of Comic Con Experience got to see the trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home, we all expected that we'd get to see it soon, but it's Marvel and so, of course, we haven't gotten it yet. The rumor was that, after Avengers: Endgame's trailer came out on Friday, we'd all get the Spider-man trailer on Saturday along with its CCXP debut, but it was not to be.

Review: Aquaman Is a Wildly Adventurous—if Predictable—Romp Under the Sea

Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry in 'Aquaman'
It's hard to know how to go about reviewing Aquaman, because the newest DC superhero movie packs roughly four different movies into its 2 hour 22 minute runtime. It's an origin story! It's Star Wars underwater! It's Thor underwater! It's Indiana Jones with far fewer academic credentials! What Aquaman is without question is an over-the-top action spectacle extravaganza. And it's going to print massive piles of money for Warner Bros.
