Grumpy Harrison Ford, a mystery Asterisk and Ai Gone Wild: All from Disney’s new slate presentation | Movie


THere are the moments in life if you expect greatness to deal with: Listening to a live orchestra worsens the opening theme notes of John Williams’ Star Wars; Standing on the edge of the Scottish Highlands; Watching a dog somehow open a refrigerator and get a beer for its own. And then there are moments when the greatness yells at you in the form of an 82 -year -old Hollywood legend, materializing like a irritating mirage, a meter from your face, during the time you thought a routine presentation of Disney new movies and TV shows.

Harrison Ford is not a person whose only one stumbles. He is a force of nature, a living relic of a time when top men do not have to spend six months on the chicken-and-shame diet before removing their shirts. And yet, here he is, looking appropriate unnoticed throughout the concept of being at a stage, focusing questions next to his Captain America: brave new co-star in a bad Q&A with all the A person’s enthusiasm that somehow finds himself trapped in the most boring hostage video in the world.

And maybe this is the real magic of Disney, that an actress like Ford can be encouraged to take over as Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross (now the new USA president) in a Marvel movie about someone with wings of the metal whose work will save us all from a sinful genius whose head quickly exceeds his ambitions (the leader of Tim Blake Nelson) and a gang of terrorists themed snake that, despite their name , is unpleasant not really snakes. This is a classic Marvel dilemma: Can Sam Wilson protect democracy, avoid global disasters, and prevent Harrison Ford from walking from Midway through a fight scene because he’s enough of this bullshit?

In his appearance in the presentation of Disney’s 2025 slate, Ford was usually grateful about the work done by the late William Hurt, who has been a Ross in the previous Marvel films and the 20th century of FOX but died in 2022. ” I am starting to understand that this is a big family and I am a small part of it, ”he said in the Gruff Understatement Ford -Watcher’s attitude and dear. Actors who are happy and playing. So when the opportunity came along I was grateful. It’s a new genre and audience for me, and it’s fun. “

The accumulated audience is also treated with an exclusive clip of the new movie, on February 14th, where we already know that Ford will end in changing the Red Hulk. This is a piece packed packed with which Wilson (Anthony Mackie) enters an enemy base, and shows the newly winged captain of America, told us to be given to Sam of Useful Wakandans. . Marvel is always a franchise built in even more confusing physics, but even the most generous listener can insist on believing that a block without a serum and no billions of gadgets that can stand on the toes with A bad person whose brain is so much that it requires its own postcode.

Everywhere in the slate of the new movies, we are treated with an intriguing look at the upcoming Thunderbolts*, which seems to be Marvel’s reply to the Suicide Squad, but with fewer conversations and more ex-gengers. The Return of David Harbor’s Red Guardian and Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, and many heavy accented Eastern European badinage, can be worth the price of admission only. Wyatt Russell’s John Walker/US agent seems to have passed the mill since we last saw him at Disney+ showing The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and there is still no confirmation of why Thunderbolts* has an asterisk next to the their name. Will this one be Marvel’s new carers of space? Or other Eternals only – a technical movie that exists, is released, but then spoken about the frequent Thor: The Dark World? We will find out in May when the movie hits theaters.

Also in the slate is Tron: Ares, starring Jared Leto as Titular AI, who came to the real world from the digital domain with an unspecified but dangerous mission. The footage presented did not go far to what we saw in the trailers, but it all looked visually amazing -amazing, with light cycles flying here and anywhere through human cities. There is no way of knowing, of course if all the incredibly expensive appearance of digital sorcery will end in losing a logic vortex at the time the titles roll this October. Jeff Bridges is back again, and we hope there is a better part written for him at this time than the two versions of Kevin Flynn who have been fairly fortunate in the 2010 Tron: Heritage.

That’s the thing about living myths-just wheving them for a late encore phase if you can give them only his light cycle that is being impounded.
