Supergirl Trailer Finally Explains Krypton’s Doom & It’s Darker Than Superman’s Origin

Supergirl Trailer Explains Krypton’s Doom (Photo Credit – YouTube) Superman set the tone for a bright beginning in the new DC Universe, but Supergirl steps in with a story that lands with a heavier truth. The new trailer drops Kara Zor El into a world that looks familiar at first, yet pulls back a curtain on Krypton in a way that makes Clark Kent’s origin look almost gentle. Milly Alcock’s Supergirl moves through a cosmic path that feels far from what James Gunn showed in Superman, and the difference starts with how both cousins grew up. Kara Zor El’s Upbringing Turns The Tone In the Supergirl trailer, Kara says Superman sees the good in everyone, while she sees the truth, and it is that truth that shaped her from the moment she opened her eyes on Krypton. While Clark had a calm life in Kansas, Kara faced something far darker. The trailer flashes white robes worn by Bradley Cooper’s Jor El and Angela Sarafyan’s Lara Lor Van in Superman, matching the clothes Kara wears in …

Desert raves and apocalyptic doom collide in ‘Sirāt,’ one of the year’s most talked about films

TORONTO — Oliver Laxe, the spiritually minded, 6-foot-6-inch French-born Galician director, knows that his new film, “Sirāt,” has given him a reputation to live up to. Desert raves and apocalyptic doom collide in ‘Sirāt,’ one of the year’s most talked about films “When I’m on a plane and things are going bad, I say, “Come on, you’re the director of ‘Sirāt.’ You cannot be scared,” Laxe, 41, says, laughing. Since its prize-winning debut at the Cannes Film Festival, “Sirāt” has been one the year’s most talked about films. It’s about a father who, with his 12-year-old son , is searching for his teenage daughter. After arriving at a remote rave in southern Morocco, where they have no luck, they flee with a small caravan of ravers who ride across a desert expanse. A primal beat sounds through “Sirāt,” which morphs into an existential journey through approaching apocalypse. World War III is referenced on the radio, and the arid landscape where water is in short supply reverberates with the effects of climate change. “Sirāt,” which means …

Robert Downey Jr. bulks up for Doctor Doom for Avengers Doomsday, gives a shout-out to co-star Hawkeye aka Jeremy Renner | Hollywood News

The entire fan base of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was drenched in sorrow and disappointment when Robert Downey Jr’s character Iron Man died in Avengers: Endgame. Robert’s first stint as Tony Stark came in 2008, and it opened the doors for the MCU and all other characters that followed. The charismatic and narcissistic Tony Stark quickly began the main attraction in a decked-out roster of superheroes, and his death shook even the fans of Marvel Comics, who probably knew that it was a very big possibility. Because of the love and attention Robert had received as the Iron Man, everyone was beyond excited to see him return to the MCU as Dr Doom. The actor recently took to his Instagram to update his fans about his preparation for playing one of the strongest characters in comic history.   In the picture posted by Robert, you can see him in a dry-fit training suit, as he is flexing his left bicep while using the other hand to hold up his co-star Jeremy Renner’s new memoir, My …
