Thor trailer

If you haven’t heard of the upcoming film Thor, just give it time, Marvel Studios will find you and make sure you know everything you need in order to prepare for one of this summer’s first blockbusters.

Thor is an important film for Marvel, in more ways than one. Besides the hefty $150 million price tag that the studio needs to recoup in order to put that money towards future projects, Thor is also the first Marvel film that will act specifically as a springboard to The Avengers. The Iron Man films are part of that universe as well, but both films were created before The Avengers film—and the high expectations that go with it—was fleshed out.

Thor (played by Star Trek’s Chris Hemsworth) is an arrogant, but noble Asgardian God who wields the power of thunder. Son of Odin, Thor is stripped of his power by his father after unwittingly unleashing an ancient enemy that threatens both Earth and Asgard. He is banished to Earth, where Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), an astrophysicist, finds Thor and takes him in. Meanwhile in Asgard, Odin (Anthony Hopkins) deals with the repercussions of Thor’s actions, and looks to Thor’s adopted brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston), who has plans of his own.

Thor also stars Stellan Skarsgard, Ray Stevenson, Idris Elba, Rene Russo and Kat Dennings. It hits theaters in 3D on May 6, 2011.

DC Studios' upcoming film Superman is less than a year away, and countless comic book fans are anxious to see the new Man of Steel in James Gunn's reboot of the DC Universe. Originally titled Superman: Legacy, this blockbuster will be the Last Son of Krypton's first solo film in over 10 years, so the hype is palpable. For those excited to learn more about this superhero epic, here's a breakdown of everything that's been revealed about 2025's Superman so far.
When does Superman come out?
Superman will premiere on July 11, 2025, making it one of the year's most highly anticipated summer blockbusters.
What is the story of Superman?
According to Variety, the film "tells the story of Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice, and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned."

Though plot details are still scarce, Gunn revealed on Instagram that the story and its characters are inspired by comics across several eras. Gunn's influences include the comics from writer Grant Morrison, particularly All-Star Superman, as well as Mark Waid's Kingdom Come, Jeph Loeb's A Superman For All Seasons, and Alan Moore's Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? Gunn also revealed that he was influenced by director Richard Donner's Superman films, 1941's animated movie Superman: The Mad Scientist, and Superman: The Animated Series.
Where will Superman take place?
Like most Superman stories, this film will take place in the Man of Steel's old stomping ground: Metropolis. Cleveland was transformed into the iconic comic book city for the filming of Superman, featuring such notable landmarks as The Daily Planet. Allegedly, the film will feature the Hall of Justice, the base of operations for the Justice League.

Doctor Phosphorus, The Bride, and Nina Mazursky walk together in Creature Commandos.

A new DC Universe is on its way, and comic book fans have finally gotten their first substantial look at it. The multimedia franchise isn't set to kick things off with one of its flagship heroes like Batman, Superman, or Wonder Woman, either. Instead, the DCU's first official entry belongs to an oddball mix of monsters known as the Creature Commandos. Created and written by James Gunn, Creature Commandos promises to bridge the gap between 2021's The Suicide Squad, 2022's Peacemaker, and the DCU's future.

Now, over a year after Gunn announced Creature Commandos, the animated series' first official trailer has debuted online. The teaser, which runs over 2 minutes long, efficiently introduces several of Creature Commandos' core characters, including The Bride (Indira Varma), Nina Mazursky (Zoë Chao), G.I. Robot (Sean Gunn), Weasel (also Sean Gunn), and Doctor Phosphorus (Alan Tudyk).
