Captain America: Civil War 2nd Trailer Breakdown

But let's not bury the lead here. It's the first time we're seeing Spider-Man! Admittedly, I would have liked his appearance to be a surprise when I see the movie for the first time, but whatever. He looks great, and I'm still totally excited to see this!



There's tons of new footage so let take a close look.

Is it too late to change the name?

The first Ant-Man trailer premiered last night during Marvel's Agent Carter (which is surprisingly good!) and in the unlikely event that you haven't seen it yet, here it is!



It starts off fairly serious with the original Ant-Man, Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) trying to convince Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) to take up the mantle. And in the most asshole yet charming way that only Paul Rudd can do, he notes just how silly the name is, which gives an indication that this film probably won't, or more likely can't be all that serious. So let's get to the breakdown.

Ten Films I'm Anticipating In 2015

With 2014 coming to a close, I've already covered the most popular stories of 2014 here on nerdy views. So now let's look ahead and talk about the movies I'm anticipating most in 2015. Chances are good you'll be seeing a lot about these films on nerdy views over the next year.

10. Mad Max: Fury Road

What's it about?: George Miller, the writer and director of the first three Mad Max films continues his franchise with Fury Road. In it, Tom Hardy replaces Mel Gibson as Max, and encounters a woman named Furiosa (Charlize Theron) who wants to cross the desert.

Why I'm excited: I've never seen a single Mad Max film all the way through. And my only real memory of the franchise is Tina Turner's "We Don't Need Another Hero." But this trailer alone has me excited. It has awesome looking vehicles, crazy stunts, and a car exploding in midair in a sandstorm. Plus, Tom Hardy is good in everything.

When it opens: May 15th

Marvel 75 Years

Last night's Marvel special titled Marvel: 75 Years From Pulp to Pop! didn't offer any new information regarding any upcoming Marvel projects. It was mainly a history lesson detailing Marvel's beginnings as a small time comic book company all the way to today's media powerhouse. You can find the majority of this information online on the Marvel Comics Wikipedia page, but it was presented in a very entertaining way with the likes of Kevin Smith & Seth Green offering commentary along with Stan Lee and other writers at Marvel.

We DID get a first look at some blink-or-you'll-miss-it shots from Ant-Man.

Here's Paul Rudd as Scott Lang and Michael Douglas as Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man

The Marvel Roadmap

Today's Marvel media event essentially did a Chris Rock "drop the mic" and leave the room as it mapped out the next five years with nine movies to add to the two we already know about to give us ELEVEN movies. DC did the same thing a couple of weeks ago, but to be honest, I'm way more excited about this news. Anyway, here's the lineup.

Avengers: Age of Ultron, May 1, 2015. We obviously already knew about this and you can check out the trailer and my trailer breakdown here.

Ant-Man, July 17, 2015. The Paul Rudd led film has hit some obstacles with director Edgar Wright leaving the film, but it's important because it completes Marvel's Phase 2.

Captain America: Civil War, May 6, 2016. Cap 3 has been referred to as Avengers 2.5 and will feature the Civil War storyline which required superhumans to register themselves with the government, with Iron Man leading the pro-registration faction, and Captain America being against it.
