The two secret spy groups team up against a secret New World Order organization, the Golden Circle, which is led by Poppy, played by Julianne Moore.

There are a number of bad-ass scenes in the movie, including one where Eggsy flies above a taxi narrowly escaping a whole lot of pain.

The trailer also features Eggsy going up against a man with weaponized arm . . . and it does not look good for him.

Finally, the trailer for "The Last Jedi" has arrived. After it was announced last January, fans have been patiently waiting for a first look of Episode VIII of the Star Wars saga.
First Look: Star Wars - Episode VIII: The Last Jedi
The images on the trailer depict a darker mood compared to "The Force Awakens" in 2015. The tone is attributed by some fans to the fact that the second film in each trilogy of the Star Wars saga nearly always has this feeling. (Empire Strikes Back . . .anyone?)
First Look: Star Wars - Episode VIII: The Last Jedi
The first scene shows Rey (Daisy Ridley) clambering up, but what piques my interest is the background of the first scene. Check out the curve on the right shoulder of Rey, it appears similar to the curve of the hangar where an explosion happened right in front of Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) and BB-8.

While it is mainly speculation, we will never know until more trailers will come out in the coming months. We also get to see a glimpse of Finn (John Boyega) recuperating in a healing chamber.

Another noteworthy scene on the trailer of "The Last Jedi" is the Millennium Falcon swooping in while blasting a TIE fighter out of the sky. I don't know about you, but the Falcon has always been my favorite spacecraft on the Star Wars saga with the X-Wing fighter coming in a close second.

"The Last Jedi" trailer also shows an R2 unit along with a hooded figure in front of burning rubble. Speculations have emerged indicating that this is a flashback of Luke (Mark Hamill) watching the Jedi Academy burning to the ground.

The trailer also shows a glimpse of Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), but it is interesting to note that he has a scar similar to the one Anakin Skywalker had before he became Darth Vader.

There are also scenes where Rey is going through Jedi training, such as one showing two persons on the side of a mountain with one wielding a lightsaber.

We also get to see Rey tapping into the Force.

But the most shocking part of the trailer is near the end where Luke says, "I only know one true thing, it's time for the Jedi to end."

"Star Wars: The Last Jedi" is expected to hit the big screen on December 15, 2017.

Guess what . . .the trailer for the latest movie of the Norse god, Thor: Ragnarok, was released a couple of days ago, and it was rather interesting.
Thor: Ragnarok
The trailer shows a first look of the first female primary villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Hela (Cate Blanchett).
Thor: Ragnarok
Hela is the goddess of death who was imprisoned before being accidentally let loose after Loki (Tom Hiddleston) became the new ruler of Asgard.
Thor: Ragnarok
She was furious about being held captive for a millennia and defeats Thor while destroying Mjolnir in the process.
Thor: Ragnarok
Thor ends up on the planet Sakaar and forced to combat as a gladiator in an arena operated by the Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum).
Thor: Ragnarok
In addition, Thor: Ragnarok also sees the return of Heimdall (Idris Alba) and Odin (Anthony Hopkins).

The other new characters to enter the MCU include Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) and Skurge (Karl Urban).
Thor: Ragnarok
The Hulk also makes a surprise appearance on Thor: Ragnarok as a gladiator who goes up against the god of thunder in the main event.
Thor: Ragnarok
The trailer itself takes its inspiration from the Guardians of the Galaxy and adds a little bit of fun. It also plays the "Immigrant Song" of Led Zeppelin, reminiscent of the "Hooked on a Feeling" of Blue Suede of the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie.
Thor: Ragnarok
Adding some goofiness on the trailer may make it less serious compared to the trailers of the previous Thor movies.
Thor: Ragnarok
