There are two fun new movie trailers out this week that will get you excited about films headed to theaters this spring.
There is a lot of buzz surrounding the trailer for Avengers: Endgame, which picks up after the “grave course of events set in motion by Thanos that wiped out half the universe and fractured the Avengers ranks . . . the remaining Avengers to take one final stand . . .”
It’s crazy to think that 22 movies over 11 years have been building up to this. I have to say that the trailer didn’t really give me any idea of what happens in the movie but it did get me excited.
This week we also go a better idea of what the live-action Aladdin, which arrives in theaters nationwide May 24, 2019, will bring. At the conclusion of the trailer, my teen exlcaimed, “I’m so excited!” See if you agree with her:
Disney Studios says, “A thrilling and vibrant live-action adaptation of Disney’s animated classic, “Aladdin” is the exciting tale of the charming street rat Aladdin, the courageous and self-determined Princess Jasmine and the Genie who may be the key to their future.”
It’s directed by Guy Ritchie and as you can tell from the trailer, the music we loved in the animated version will play a big role here, too. The movie will include two new songs written by Alan Menken and Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, of Dear Evan Hansen fame.
Between these two movie and Dumbo which comes out in a few weeks, it seems like spring is the new summer when it comes to marvelous movies!
