00:00What's up everyone welcome to FilmSpot and today we will be talking about the
00:04best upcoming movies. I won't lie the highly anticipated sequel to 2021's
00:09Mortal Kombat is shaping up to be an utter smash hit with this exciting
00:14casting news because it looks like Karl Urban is in final talks to play the
00:18iconic Johnny Cage. Urban known for his impressive roles in Thor Ragnarok, The
00:24Boys, Star Trek and Dread is set to bring his undeniable talent to the upcoming
00:29film which is scheduled to start shooting this summer in his home country
00:32of Australia. If you're a fan of the series you'll recall that Johnny Cage
00:36was teased in the post-credits scene of the first Mortal Kombat film and now
00:40with Urban potentially taking on the role it's got us all wondering if he can
00:44pull off Cage's signature split punch. With a healthy dose of Hollywood smarm
00:49and a goofy demeanor Urban definitely has the chops to do this character
00:53justice. But what about the other characters? Chin Han and Joe Taslim are
00:58set to return as Shang Tsung and Sub-Zero Bi-Han respectively. But who else
01:03will join the fray? We'll have to wait and see. We do know that plenty of
01:07combatants met their demise in the first film but in the Mortal Kombat universe
01:11death is rarely an obstacle. We are going to enter the neon lit world of Alita
01:17once again because the much-awaited sequel is finally on the horizon. That's
01:22right fans of the 2019 cyberpunk action flick Alita Battle Angel will be
01:27thrilled to hear that the project's director and lead star are currently in
01:30talks to bring you the long-awaited follow-up. So there's no release date as
01:35of now. Producer John Landau spilled the beans on the sequels development and it
01:39seems that a good portion of the credit goes to Avatar the Way of Water the
01:43upcoming Avatar sequel. Landau shared that the intricate facial expressions
01:48and nuances that they learned while working on the Avatar sequel will be
01:51instrumental in bringing the emotional and humanoid Alita to life once again.
01:56The best part? The same creative team and cast that brought us the first Alita
02:00movie are expected to return for the sequel ensuring a seamless transition as
02:05the franchise moves from Fox to Disney. The greatly anticipated sequel to the
02:112018 animated superhero hit Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse is swinging into
02:16theaters with a whopping runtime of 2 hours and 20 minutes making it the
02:20longest major animated film ever made by a Hollywood studio. That's right it beats
02:25out the previous record holder 2012's Consuming Spirits by a full four minutes.
02:30But hey, long movies are all the rage these days right? From Guardians of the
02:35Galaxy volume 3 to John Wick chapter 4 and even upcoming flicks like Indiana
02:40Jones and the Dial of Destiny and Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon it
02:45seems like we just can't get enough of those hefty runtimes. One reason for
02:50Spider-Man across the Spider-Verse's length could be its all-star cast
02:53featuring Shameik Moore as Miles Morales and a host of other A-listers playing
02:58different versions of spider heroes from alternate universes. And while it's a
03:03bummer that Nicolas Cage won't be reprising his role as Spider-Man Noir
03:07with a cast like this I think we are still in for a wild ride.
03:11This is not a drill! Bugs Bunny is back baby! Warner Brothers has hired writer
03:17Robert Rugen to work on a new live-action and animation hybrid movie
03:21featuring everyone's favorite Looney Tunes character. While the studio hasn't
03:25made an official announcement yet I for one am already buzzing about what
03:29everyone's favorite bunny will be up to in this modern-day adventure. Bugs has
03:34been hopping through pop culture for almost a century starring in countless
03:37cartoons and films since his debut in 1938. His most recent big-screen
03:43appearance was in Space Jam A New Legacy where he and the rest of the Looney Tunes
03:47helped LeBron James win a basketball game and reconcile with his son. But Bugs
03:52has also teamed up with other big-name stars like Brendan Fraser in Looney Tunes
03:56Back in Action where he had to rescue Daffy Duck from Hollywood executives who
04:00wanted to make him a star on his own. I can't wait to see what this movie is
04:04gonna bring to the table. Ladies and gentlemen the impossible has been
04:10accomplished! The much-awaited summer blockbuster Mission Impossible Dead
04:14Reckoning part 1 has officially wrapped production. Director Christopher McQuarrie
04:18took to Instagram to break the news thanking his incredible crew for all
04:23their hard work in bringing the epic film to life. As we eagerly await the
04:27July 12th 2023 release McQuarrie has already hinted at the second part of the
04:32story Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning part 2 which is set to hit theaters on
04:37June 28th 2024. The film has certainly had a rocky road to production with
04:42multiple delays due to the pandemic and scheduling conflicts. But with Cruise's
04:47recent box-office success in Top Gun Maverick we have no doubt that Dead
04:51Reckoning part 1 will be a massive hit. And for those lucky enough to attend
04:55CinemaCon 2023 Paramount teased 20 minutes of footage from the film sending
05:00fans into a frenzy. So mark your calendars folks July 12th 2023 is the
05:06day we finally get to witness the thrilling first part of this two-part
05:10seemingly impossible but always possible story. I'm not kidding Middle
05:17Earth is about to make a triumphant return to the big screen. That's right
05:21Lord of the Rings fans it is time for all of us to once again make our way to
05:25the cinema in hordes for the Lord of the Rings War of the Rohirrim. This highly
05:30anticipated anime film, that's right it won't be live-action, promises to take us
05:35on a journey to the kingdom of Rohan and introduce us to a host of lesser-known
05:39characters from J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved universe. But don't worry this isn't some
05:45hastily thrown together production hoping to cash in on the current Middle
05:48Earth renaissance. New Line Cinema, Warner Brothers Animation and Sola
05:52Entertainment are combining their expertise to produce a visually stunning
05:57film that will still take its cues from Peter Jackson's iconic trilogy. Plus the
06:02legendary Tolkien illustrators Alan Lee and John Howe are involved ensuring that
06:07the new film stays true to the heart of the source material. As for the cast
06:11we've already got some exciting names confirmed including Miranda Otto
06:15returning to her role as the fierce Eowyn and Brian Cox stepping into the
06:20role of the legendary King of Rohan Helm Hammerhand. And while we'll have to wait
06:25a bit longer for the official trailer we'll get a first look at the movie in
06:28June at the Annecy Film Festival. So set the date April 12th 2024 because Middle
06:34Earth is calling. We all know at this point that Ryan Reynolds is set to
06:39reprise his role as the wisecracking fourth wall breaking superhero in
06:43Deadpool 3 and that he'll be joined by a slew of returning actors and some
06:48exciting new faces. But wait there's more. According to Deadline Rob Delaney will
06:53be back as Peter the only human member of X-Force the superhero squad that met
06:58a grisly fate in the last film. You remember Peter right? The ordinary guy
07:02who answered Deadpool's Craigslist ad and ended up getting melted by
07:06Zeitgeist's acid vomit? Yeah that guy. The addition of Delaney to the cast
07:11suggests that we can expect even more returning characters than we initially
07:15thought. Along with Reynolds and Delaney Marina
07:17Baccarin, Karin Soni, Leslie Uggams, Stefan Kapisic and Hugh Jackman have all
07:23been confirmed to reprise their roles. And newcomers Emma Corrin and Matthew
07:27McFadden are also set to join the fray. But don't get too excited just yet folks
07:32we still have over a year to wait before we get to see Deadpool and the gang back
07:36in action. The film isn't slated for release until November 8th 2024 so sit
07:41tight keep your eyes peeled for more news and remember with Deadpool anything can
07:46happen. Whenever we see a giant monster movie we just want to keep seeing it
07:52don't we? The same was the case with the Cloverfield monster which was a part of
07:56the Cloverfield experiment franchise which began with the 2008 found footage
08:01monster movie has included various spinoffs and entries including 2016's
08:0610 Cloverfield Lane and 2018's The Cloverfield Paradox. The in-universe
08:11slush show website has officially reopened this week according to our
08:15pals at slash film hinting that the viral advertising campaign for
08:19Cloverfield 2 is starting to take shape. Slush show is a made-up beverage in the
08:24Cloverfield universe and the website was a part of the grand ARG campaign for the
08:28first film. The business asserts that the addition of the seabed's nectar also
08:33significantly improves its health. The component was allegedly discovered on
08:37the deep ocean floor under amazing pressure and extreme cold according to
08:42the history section of the official slush show website. Creating these flavor
08:46combinations is the only thing you can currently do on the website but we
08:50believe this is just the beginning of the Cloverfield saga's viral comeback.
08:54The Cloverfield Paradox explains that a rupture in the space-time continuum
08:58poured all kinds of creatures out into all kinds of other timelines in the
09:03Cloverfield Paradox but the Cloverfield sequels up to this point have
09:06effectively been unconnected films with vague links to filmmaker Matt Reeves's
09:112008 film. Ready to cheat death once again? The Final Destination franchise is
09:18back and it's about to give you another round of heart-pumping Rube Goldbergian
09:22deaths that will make you think twice before leaving your house. In case you
09:26need a refresher, Final Destination follows a group of young people who
09:30cheat death after one of them has a premonition of a fatal event. But death,
09:35being the vengeful entity that it is, starts to come for them one by one in
09:39the most gruesome and creative ways possible. And now, after years of waiting,
09:44Final Destination 6 is officially in the works. Though we don't have an official
09:49release date yet, we do know that Zak Lepovsky and Adam B. Stein, the duo
09:54behind 2018's Freaks, will be directing the sequel. Plus, Craig Perry is back as
09:59a producer and he's hinted that the film may focus on first responders
10:03dealing with life-and-death situations every day. As for the cast, nothing has
10:08been confirmed yet but original stars Devin Sawa and Tony Todd have expressed
10:12interest in returning. So will they make a comeback? Only time will tell. One
10:17thing's for sure though, if you're a fan of Final Destination's trademark blend
10:21of horror, you're gonna be excited about this one. Fans and insiders alike are
10:27itching to know who Marvel will cast as the beloved members of the first family
10:31of the MCU. And it seems like every day there's a new casting rumor flying
10:36around. And I'm in on all of them. Mila Kunis was recently spotted at a deli
10:40with the film's director Matt Shachman, leading to wild speculation that she'd
10:45be playing a female version of Ben Grimm, aka The Thing. But Kunis was quick
10:50to deny these rumors, leaving fans wondering who could possibly fill the
10:54big rocky shoes of the Fantastic Four's resident bruiser. But wait, there's more.
10:59Did you know that there's already been a female version of The Thing? Meet Darla
11:04Deering, a former girlfriend of Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, who joined the
11:09team in a replacement Fantastic Four lineup. Darla wears Thing rings that,
11:14when combined, create the Thing exoskeleton, a super suit with crazy
11:19strength and durability. Could this be a hint at what's to come for the Fantastic
11:23Four? And what about those other casting rumors? Adam Driver as Reed Richards,
11:28Margot Robbie as Sue Storm, Paul Mescal as Johnny Storm, Antonio Banderas as
11:34Galactus. The possibilities are endless. We gotta keep our eyes peeled for this
11:38one, because this film keeps overflowing with speculation before its 14th of
11:43February 2025 release date. Thanks for watching and see you in the next one.
