Underwhelming New Trailer of ‘Avengers: Endgame’ Arrives

03.14.2019 | By |

Marvel’s new trailer for Avengers: Endgame, the second part of the last Avengers sequel, is a disappointing preview of what could end up becoming the biggest box-office film of all time. The trailer recaps the original characters’ journey over the last 10 years, almost like a nostalgia tour that isn’t that nostalgic. There is a new character in the universe though, that amps up the stakes toward the end. See for yourself. Avengers: Endgame arrives on April 26, 2019.

The First Latina-Superhero Arrives Courtesy of Robert Rodriguez. Official Trailer of ‘Alita: Battle Angel’

11.29.2018 | By |

Do we really need DC or Marvel to create a Hispanic superhero for us? No. James Cameron and  Robert Rodriguez have already done it and she’s called Alita. Rosa Salazar, of Cuban descent, plays Alita, the lead actress, or our hero in ‘Alita: Battle Angel‘. Rodriguez and Cameron understand the power of having Latina leads. Cameron hired Caribbean Dominican/Puerto Rican actresses Zoe Saldana and Michelle Rodriguez for Avatar. Robert Rodriguez… ni para que decir. Watch the trailer and get excited for a new hero!
