Doctor Strange makes appearance in New ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Japanese trailer

Thor: Ragnarok—or as it’s being called in Japan, Thor: Battle Royale—gets a new trailer as we near the release date of the film (it comes out November 3^rd here). But while it’s pretty standard and showed off some of the clips we’ve seen before. The opening of the trailer shows us something, or should we say, someone new. Doctor Strange makes an appearance at the start of the trailer talking to Thor about a “great change” happening in his future. It might seem like a random appearance but it makes sense as Thor appeared in the mid-credits scene of Doctor Strange with them talking about Asgardian affairs.

Spidey gets techie in new ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ trailers

With Spider-Man back in the Marvel fold, we’re getting to see how Peter Parker’s Spidey ties into the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe story. And the two new trailers show us how they’re connected and what’s different with Spider-Man this time around.

As you can see in the trailer above, Spider-Man: Homecoming has to be the most tech-inclined Spider-Man movie to date. Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man takes Peter under his wing and gives him some cool tech in the process. The tech comes with strings attached, or in his case, some form of parental control. And it seems Peter is having trouble with being the “friendly, neighbourhood Spider-Man.”

Here’s the first teaser trailer for Marvel’s ‘Inhumans’

Marvel’s new show gets its first teaser trailer and it’s giving off a bit of a Game of Thrones vibe with the whole dysfunctional brother relationship. It also doesn’t help that the villain, Maximus, is played by GoT’s Ramsay Bolton a.k.a. Iwan Rheon. It seems trouble is brewing between Maximus and his brother Black Bolt, who is played by Anson Mount. Maximus seems to want to overthrow Black Bolt, who happens to be the King of the Inhumans. We’re sure there are going to be more teasers in the coming months. The show is going to be making its IMAX debut on September 1^st.

Doritos partners with Marvel for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 promotion, puts a cassette tape player in its packaging

Building on Peter Quill’s love for music, there will be special edition Doritos nacho cheese bags coming out. The bag of chips will have a cassette player (or at least a music player that looks like one) and will play songs from the Awesome Mix Vol. 2, which is the soundtrack for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. It contains songs from the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Sam Cooke, David Hasselhoff, and George Harrison.

Why do such a thing? A Frito-Lay executive told Billboard, “Can you imagine a better way to listen to this soundtrack than with a bag of Doritos? We couldn’t either.” While we’re not so sure about that, it might be a gimmick some of you can get behind. No word yet on how much it’ll cost but it’ll show up on Doritos’ Amazon page on April 28^th.
