00:00:00.000 They have now named a new Black Panther.
00:00:03.000 His name is David Johnson.
00:00:03.000 He's been cast as the new Black Panther.
00:00:05.000 He's paying Chala's son in Black Panther 3, which isn't out until 2028.
00:00:10.000 Ryan Kugler is back for the film.
00:00:12.000 Letitia Wright is back as Shuri.
00:00:14.000 She got kind of controversial, Letitia Wright, because she was in a movie produced by Angel Studios.
00:00:18.000 And this made some people very, very angry.
00:00:20.000 And it turns out that she also is not in favor, I believe, of the COVID lockdowns, but she's not been canceled.
00:00:25.000 So there's that.
00:00:26.000 Also, because Comic Con is happening, We got a bunch of new trailers, and we got some people who are dressed up.
00:00:34.000 Ryan Reynolds attended in full Deadpool getup.
00:00:49.000 And walked around in the full desert.
00:00:50.000 And nobody noticed him because it turns out that everybody at Comic Con, I've been there before.
00:00:53.000 My sister is a big comic book fan, took her.
00:00:56.000 And people did not know it was him because he had a mask on.
00:01:04.000 So, all right.
00:01:06.000 There's a lot of shtick at Comic Con.
00:01:08.000 He wasn't the only one.
00:01:09.000 Johnny Depp showed up and appeared as Ebenezer Scrooge.
00:01:10.000 They're making a new movie out of Scrooge, which is like the Scrooge you never knew.
00:01:14.000 I feel like we knew him pretty well, but okay.
00:01:14.000 I don't know.
00:01:28.000 He brought us Jack Sparrow.
00:01:30.000 And then we're in Scissors Hands.
00:01:36.000 And the Mad Hatter.
00:01:41.000 This Thanksgiving.
00:01:45.000 The Master of Misfits returns.
00:01:49.000 To Uncle Scrooge.
00:01:50.000 To Uncle Scrooge.
00:01:56.000 Mr. Scrooge.
00:01:57.000 Okay, Johnny Depp back to Scrooge, and you're getting his backstory.
00:02:14.000 I say to you, sir, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
00:02:21.000 Okay, so we're all right.
00:02:27.000 Okay.
00:02:28.000 Again, not my favorite version of like, I would love to see a part where Johnny Depp gets to underplay it.
00:02:35.000 I feel like that would be kind of a nice thing.
00:02:36.000 So I don't know who directed that.
00:02:38.000 It feels like another Tim Burton production, basically.
00:02:41.000 Yeah, it's probably not Tim Burton, but in any case.
00:02:43.000 Meanwhile, since we are going through some trailers today, there's a new trailer.
00:02:47.000 For Avengers Doomsday, it is in theaters December 18th.
00:02:50.000 Let us go through it.
00:02:59.000 Something's coming.
00:03:07.000 Be able to deter before this day is done, we should be faced with an unthinkable decision.
00:03:24.000 I've fought with many warriors in my time.
00:03:28.000 They were far stronger than all of us put together.
00:03:34.000 And they died.
00:03:37.000 They died facing enemies.
00:03:38.000 Okay, so we're not with that Thor, so that's good.
00:03:40.000 And threats.
00:03:42.000 It scared me far less than this one.
00:03:55.000 Alright, we got some shannon Tatum.
00:04:03.000 Loki, okay.
00:04:05.000 Listen.
00:04:09.000 Florence Pugh.
00:04:13.000 Again, a huge cast.
00:04:14.000 Ian McKellen's back is Magneto.
00:04:15.000 Paul Rudd, the new fantasy store.
00:04:20.000 It's full proof.
00:04:24.000 And, of course, the villain in this is Robert Downey Jr., the
00:04:56.000 Chris Evans Captain America.
00:04:57.000 Well, I mean, they're going to have to, right?
00:04:59.000 Because let's be real.
00:05:00.000 Like, the new Captain America was not going to do it.
00:05:02.000 So, again, they're bringing back some of the oldies but goodies, and they have to.
00:05:05.000 Right?
00:05:06.000 Robert Downey Jr. dying as Iron Man was a terrible decision by Marvel.
00:05:11.000 And so, them bringing back Robert Downey Jr. as the villain is smart because now people are excited because they liked Robert Downey Jr.
00:05:17.000 Bringing back Chris Evans as Captain America makes a lot of sense because, again, no one thinks that the replacement Captain America is Captain America.
00:05:26.000 Because, again, Captain America was made in a labyrinth.
00:05:29.000 With a particular set of characteristics.
00:05:30.000 He wasn't just a dude who served in the military.
00:05:33.000 I'm not sure how Sam Eagle or whatever he was supposed to be, how he was even supposed to pick up the shield.
00:05:41.000 Again, I'm not even like a Marvel guy, I'm a DC guy.
00:05:44.000 But, you know, killing off all of everybody's favorite characters at the end of the last round was probably not the best idea.
00:05:50.000 So, again, this will outperform.
00:05:52.000 It'll do really well at the box office.
00:05:53.000 It's CGI laden.
00:05:55.000 And frankly, I think that in an era in which CGI is so plentiful, I'm not sure.
00:06:00.000 I think one of the things that makes Nolan's film spectacularly successful.
00:06:04.000 Is that he's using naturalistic effects?
00:06:06.000 The over CGI of everything makes Superman look like this.
00:06:08.000 And again, it feels like a mishmash to me.
00:06:11.000 So you do have to do constellations of gigantic stars whose faces people know, which is why you bring back a Robert Downey Jr. or Chris Evans.
00:06:18.000 We'll see.
00:06:18.000 We'll see.
00:06:19.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
00:06:21.000 Wasn't that amazing?
