Filling Out the Summer of Superman

The crown jewel of this summer’s cinematic experience (for me, at least) is Superman, which drops July 11.  Now we’re starting to get a better sense of the movies that will (hopefully) fill theater seats in the days around Superman.  Yesterday we got our first look at Fantastic Four: First Steps.  Here’s that teaser:

Looks good, better than I’d expected.  I’ve wondered for years how the MCU would incorporate its “first family” (just like I’d wondered how it would incorporate the X-Men).  Looks like the multiverse is going to be the way that it happens.  It will be interesting to see how well the movie stands on its own while also setting things up for Marvel’s next few big movies.

The other release that I have hope for, and whose trailer dropped today, is the new Jurassic Park . . . I mean, World, movie: Jurassic World: Rebirth.  I hope that the casting of a name like Scarlett Johannson means the movie will be serious fun.  The trailer makes me think so (which is kind of needed after the previous World movies, which probably took themselves a little too seriously).

Jurassic World: Rebirth drops July 2 while Fantastic Four: First Steps drops July 25th.
