If you would have told me 20 years ago that Ant-Man would be a successful movie franchise, I would have laughed in your face.
Disney has always taken a unique approach when it comes to their animated television series, and their latest series, “Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur” is no different. The series is based on a Marvel comic with the same characters. “Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur” features a diverse cast including Diamond White starring as Lunella Lafayette/Moon Girl, a 13-year-old superheroine, Fred Tatasciore as Devil Dinosaur, Alfre Woodard as Mimi, Lunella’s grandmother, Libe Barer as Casey, Moon Girl’s best friend, and Lawrence Fishburne as The Beyonder.
The Knockturnal got the chance to chat with Dominique Thorne, who plays Ironheart in the latest MCU Black Panther movie, about joining forces to provide the gentlest touch with Puffs to meet with the world’s fiercest superheroes at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
After four long years, Marvel Studios has finally blessed us with a Black Panther sequel: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Having been released mere days ago, the film is already the highest grossing theatrical debut for the year and 13th highest opening weekend grossing film of all time. How do we suggest you see this top crossing film? On a Dolby screen, of course. And here’s why…
To begin, much of the film is a tribute to Chadwick Boseman, who tragically passed away in 2020 of stage III colon cancer at the age of 43. Dolby’s ultra-vivid colors and sound system make seeing Boseman’s face on the silver screen feel like we never lost the talented actor at all. Beginning with T’Challa’s (Boseman) death, Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett) is now at the helm, running an empire that is rich in vibranium, a metal used to make weapons and armor. Tensions rise when other nations attempt to procure this scarce resource via taking it by force or tracking missions in the Atlantic Ocean led by the US government.
The Atlantic is populated by the Talokan and led by Namor (Tenoch Huerta), who wishes to keep Talokan secluded. However, the tracking mission threatens exposure to his secret empire. Infuriated, Namor goes to Wakanda, claiming them responsible for the mission and asks for help to kill the lead scientist who built the vibranium tracking device, but Wakanda refuses, thus spurring conflict between the two worlds. What ensues is a complex tale of colonialism, struggle, and loss.
Seeing the world building executed by Ryan Coogler on the Dolby screen enriched the experience for the viewers. The Dolby screen unlocked the emotional impact of every scene and enhanced the costume design that defines each character within their respective communities. And thanks to Dolby’s superior sound capabilities, the audience felt like they were part of the action scenes.
In all, if you want to be one of the millions who have seen Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on the silver screen, our suggestion is to experience the beauty and power of this film on a Dolby screen near you.
Love and Thunder can go a long way, but not long enough.
Last Sunday, Marvel held a press conference for the upcoming Doctor Strange Sequel, directed by founding father himself, Sam Raimi.
With some very average entries like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and duds that landed flat in their final moments (Loki), Marvel has stepped up their game with the very epic, upcoming Disney+ series Moon Knight.
I often get asked about my thought process on writing a film review because from the outside, it can seem rather opaque or very intuitive.
