A new trailer for the upcoming DC Comics movie Suicide Squad was released at the MTV Movie Awards earlier this week.
You can watch the trailer below:
“It feels good to be bad…Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?”
The Suicide Squad movie is scheduled for release on August 5th, 2016.

Netflix Vice President of Original Content Cindy Holland is quoted as saying the following:
“Doug and Marco captivated our members around the world with their continuation of the story of Matt Murdock in Marvel’s Daredevil, and we can’t wait to see how they and Drew will introduce the full Defenders team to our global audience.”
Head of Marvel Television Jeph Loeb had the following to add:
“We’re incredibly excited to be able to bring our four street level heroes together in an epic tale woven by Doug and Marco whose work on Marvel’s Daredevil speaks for itself. They write and produce not only great action and adventure, but also the heart and touch of humor that’s makes us Marvel. With the inclusion of Drew Goddard, we’ve got a team that’s as formidable as the Defenders themselves.”
Petrie and Ramirez had the following to say themselves:
“This is the big one. Four amazing casts, four amazing series, now all in one amazing story. We are thrilled at the opportunity to deliver the show that both we and the fans have been waiting for.”

A new live action Pokémon movie is reportedly on the way.
The report suggests that Warner Bros. and Legendary are in a bidding war over the live action movie rights to the Pokémon franchise. Legendary are reportedly the frontrunners for the movie rights (though Warner Bros. had great success with the first animated movie over 15 years ago).
Legendary are hoping to develop that movie into a big budget live action film based on Ash Ketchum and his partner Pikachu.
There are obstacles standing in the way of Legendary’s pursuit of the live action rights though. Legendary is owned by a Chinese conglomerate and political tensions between China and Japan could add difficulties to Legendary’s bid for the Pokemon rights, though Legendary has previously been involved with Godzilla (another major Japanese franchise).
