The universe is expanding. This applies to our universe as well as to the cinematic »Star Wars« universe. It all began in 1977 with »A New Hope«. Even then, George Lucas had in mind to let the universe grow into the past and to tell the prehistory. The original trilogy (1977-1983) was followed by the three prequels, an animation series and finally a sequel trilogy (2015-2019) and two individual films under the roof of the mouse company.
Not everything found the unreserved love of Star Wars fans. We had never asked why Han Solo is actually called "Han Solo". And the third trilogy was often perceived as devoid of ideas and concepts...
Then came »The Mandalorian« and gave us back our belief in the Star Wars world. On TV at Disney+, the universe will now continue to expand with new series. The next live-action series starts today with »The Book of Boba Fett« and continues the story of the world-famous bounty hunter.
After celebrating »The Mandalorian« we look forward to the dive into the first spin-off series with the two main characters Boba and Fennec.
Today, »Spider-Man: No Way Home« starts hitting cinemas everywhere and the MCU takes the next loop!
The identity of the friendly spider from the neighborhood was revealed. A spell by Doctor Strange goes wrong and opens a gate into the multiverse...
In the trailer we already saw Alfred Molina as Otto Octavius and Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn / Green Goblin. So there is a lot of evidence that there is something to the rumors and that we also get to see Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield in their Spidey roles. The speculations come to an end today...
Are you looking forward to the film or do you get a headache from the multiverse?
A few days ago, 20th Century Studios released a new trailer for »Nightmare Alley«.

The film starts hitting cinemas worldwide very soon and it promises to be one of the highlights in the first quarter of 2022! There are three good reasons why we are really looking forward to the film adaptation of the novel by William Lindsay Gresham:
1. Already the trailer is photographed fantastically, in a great film noir atmosphere that hooked us.
2. It's the new movie from Guillermo del Toro, one of our favorite directors who has never disappointed us. A visit at the movies is of course a must.
3. The cast of the thriller has many Oscar nominees and winners and also brings together a number of our screen favorites: Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Toni Colette, Willem Dafoe, Richard Jenkins, Rooney Mara, Ron Perlman, Mary Steenburgen and David Strathairn.
So, did the trailer trigger you?
