Looking at the calendar flipping into September soon + more behind-the-scenes footage and fight choreography, we see, starting to buzz about Shang Chi. Full disclosure: Superhero fatigue is real over here. I think it's safe to admit this on the Internet, right? 🤣🤣🤣 Our point is that without some freshness, new voices and approaches we just aren't too psyched. However, the next two Marvel installments seem to take new characters, diverse casts, good directors and bring them together. It will be interesting to see how thr brand moves into another phase and how long the machine will keep churning. In September, Shang Chi looks as if the groundwork is being set for something a bit new and fresh.
September's slate runs the gamut for everyone. Young adult fare with Dear Evan Hamsen, horror maestro James Wan bringing Malignant to us and yet another seeming swan song from Clint Eastwood and Cry Macho. There's something to find in each three of these movies to intrigue us but also feel as if they are the same movie. Huh? Hear us out: Is there anything new to offer to the respective genres is all we are asking from these three? For us, there's enough pedigree from Wan to take the trip, Eastwood is a genre unto himself and has roped us in before and adaptations are always intriguing to see how it lands. Like September itself, sometimes it's more of the anticipation we look forward than the actual thing itself.
