NOTICE:
Unfortunately Cissy Jones has had to pull out of doing the interview today due to personal reasons. I’ve already agreed to re-schedule our interview with her for a Saturday in April.
With this I’ve also decided not to go ahead with the live podcast today. I’m still recovering from an illness and in truth I was thinking about just doing the interview and wrapping up, so I’ll be pre-recording the planned discussion topics when I feel better.
I apologise for cancelling the show today entirely. It may seem like we’ve been struggling recently but I promise we’ll be back stronger than ever very soon. I’m going to get my illness looked at soon and with college work nearly over for me I’ll be able to post content more regularly very soon.
Lots of great things coming for all of you so be sure to stay tuned.
Marvel Studios have officially released the second trailer for Captain America: Civil War.
You can watch the trailer below:
“Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.”
Captain America: Civil War is set for release on May 6th, 2016.
