There has been a lot of buzz surrounding the upcoming Joker Origin film, starring Joaquin Phoenix (Gladiator, Walk The Line) as the Joker. The film is the first in a line of films about DC characters that aren't connected to the DCEU. Over the weekend director, Todd Phillips (The Hangover, War Dogs)  released the test for the Joker-Make-up on Twitter, which trended for quite a while and got fans interested in this project.

Such as giving her amnesia and making her a Kree soldier. This is probably so separate her from DC's Green Lantern, which she shares some uncanny similarities too. But overall. I do like this trailer. 1. Captain Marvel Lands

This film will also set up Captain Marvel for the 4th Avengers film, which Captain Marvel was teased in the final scene. For this post, I haven't examined all of the stills revealed I've chosen the five that I think are worth talking about the most.

Our first official look at the Captain Marvel costume! And it is a vast improvement from those leaked photos that were released earlier this year. It still looks a little bit like a variation of Captain America's costume, but I'm willing to lo
