Robin wants a separate movie for Teen Titans town movie
Robin the Boy Wonder wants to be featured in a film like the other characters in the DC universe in the latest trailer for Teen Titans GO! to the Movies.
The clip features Robin and his Teen Titans teammates Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg and Raven, discovering that instead of Robin, Batman’s trusted butler Alfred is getting his own featured film. Robin, disappointed, begins noticing that Warner Bros. is making movies based on most DC characters except for him and his teammates.
Robin, after thinking the Teen Titans are not taken seriously, devises a plan to enlist a legitimate villain to fight in order to be considered worthy of having their own movie. The villainous Slade then enters the picture and begins to give the super team more than they can handle.
Teen Titans GO! to the Movies is set to release on July 27.
Solo: Star Wars expands its universe
Solo: A Star Wars Story star Alden Ehrenreich and director Ron Howard say the upcoming prequel film expands the Star Wars universe and offers a different look at the galaxy far, far away in a new featurette.
“The Star Wars universe that we see in Solo is different from anything else that we’ve seen in any previous Star Wars movies,” Howard says in the clip released alongside footage of the universe under the Empire’s control.
“You end up getting to see how this guy (Han Solo) got to be the way he is,” Ehrenreich says of how the film explores Han Solo’s origins and shows how he becomes the charming but rough-around-the-edges smuggler from the original films.
The featurette also includes new footage including shots of Han Solo being confronted by a water creature.
Solo: A Star Wars Story, is set to arrive in theatres on May 25.
