Women Of Wakanda — The Nine Realms

I think the biggest thing I'm impressed with so far is how there's been so many trailers for Black Panther, but we still haven't seen much. Each trailer just built on the scenes shown in the previous. Now with the World Premiere of the film out of the way they give us this whole scene taking place in what use to be a casino until they get ahold of it. This action is tight as the whole place erupts into battle. In fact, it makes me wonder who's more of a threat here, Panther or his bodyguard? That staff she carries just jumped onto my want list for the year. If this is the norm for what to expect, this film is going to be way more than a placeholder for the next Avengers . My tickets are burning a hole in my pocket, & I can't wait to see this. What do y'all think? Awesome film coming or placeholder for the next? Put it in the comments, like, & share.

These past two spots for Marvel's upcoming Black Panther showcase the women of Wakanda. As much as that sounds like a new wrestling organization, it's the women Black Panther keeps around him as bodyguards. These really get into what they are beyond that. Seeing them fight though, you'd almost want to take your chances with the Panther. The closer this film gets the more excited I find myself getting for it. It's already broke Marvel records for presales. I'm ready to see if Marvel can do it with another obscure character. I still can't get over the fact we live in a world where we can watch Captain America, Thor, & Iron Man. Much less Ant-man, Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange, & now, Black Panther. If you'd have said this would happen to me as a kid, I'd say you were crazy & that no one in their right mind would green light a bunch of unknown characters. Here we are though, virtually everyone is a comic nerd like myself now, & we are all getting treated to these amazing stories that have been fine tuned over years. I digress though, this is about these badass women of Wakanda. I can't wait to see them in action. I can't help but think they will provide us with some of the best action throughout the film for that matter. What do y'all think though? Got your tickets yet? Put it in the comments, like, & share.

Michelle Rejwan Now Senior VP Live Action Development And Production For Lucasfilm

Hollywood Reporter reports Michelle Rejwan is now the Senior VP of Live Action Development & Production. She will oversee new feature films as well Disney+ series while still producing with president Kathleen Kennedy. That seems like a hefty responsibility to drop on someone who's previous credits at Lucasfilm are producing The Force Awakens & The Rise of Skywalker. Kennedy really sees something in her though, having “seen first-hand her skills collaborating with writers and directors, and I've been incredibly impressed with her creative skills and her ability to manage the complexity surrounding these massive projects.” Can she be the Feige of Star Wars? Time will tell. After the hate Kennedy got from the last installment, which I loved by the way, one could think this is just to give her a scapegoat if things don't go as well over the next few projects. Curious to see how much influence this winds up having as a whole. What do y'all think? Trust in Kennedy? Or do you think maybe a more vetted choice would have been better?

Disney Reveals Name of Tokyo DisneySea's 8th Port

After breaking ground in what is to become Tokyo DisneySea's 8th port, we now have its official name. Fantasy Springs will be the title, but that's not all Dismey released on the subject. They also released some beautiful day & night concept art depicting the look of the new lands. Oriental land is investing 250 Billion Yen on this project that will feature lands themed to Frozen, Tangled, & Peter Pan. Frozen's land of post film Arendelle will feature an attraction that tells the story of Elsa and her beloved sister, Anna. Sounding like the familiar Epcot ride, suests will board boats and experience the sisters’ heartfelt journey, enjoying songs from the film, and encountering surprising thrills. There will also be a restaurant set inside the beautiful Arendelle Castle. Tangled's land will naturally feature Rapunzel’s tower rising above the forest. It will also include an boat attraction where guests will board gondolas for a romantic boat tour of Rapunzel’s “Best Day Ever” as she journeys with Flynn to the lantern festival. Flickering lanterns illuminate the attraction’s climactic scene while Rapunzel and Flynn sing an iconic song from the film. The pand will also feature a restaurant, inspired by the hideout of the band of thugs who appeared in the film in the "I've Got A Dream" sequence. Neverland will also be home to two attractions and a restaurant. Featuring landmarks including verdant mountains, Captain Hook’s pirate ship and Skull Rock. One attraction will fly over the jungles of Neverland into a battle with Captain Hook and his crew of pirates to rescue Wendy’s younger brother, John, who has been kidnapped by Captain Hook and his pirates. You'll board boats and follow the Lost Boys down a river until Tinker Bell sprinkles the boats with pixie dust, & you take off flying through Neverland on an adventure that featuring iconic music and dynamic 3D imagery of the characters from the film. The second attraction immerses us in the oversized world of Pixie Hollow, while the restaurant is inspired by the Lost Boys and their hideout. There will also be a new Disney Hllyel in the park. Themed to Disney fantasy, it will rise above and around the magical springs that serve as the core of the new themed port’s story. Offering 475 deluxe-type and luxury-type guest rooms, this park facing hotel will also feature a merchandise shop that helps share the story of the magical springs. One day I'll make it out here to see all the amazingly beautiful things TokyoSea has to offer. Luckily, I have one more reason to postpone that adventure until this amazing new addition is done.
