Warner Bros. and Disney+ are getting audiences primed for their upcoming slates of content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Superheroes continue to dominate the movie and streaming\nspace, but who will win the next battle in the ongoing streaming wars and will\nother services take a swing at these juggernauts and their content? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video DC – The World Needs Heroes<\/a> dropped on the Warner\nBros. Pictures YouTube Channel on Feb. 11. Revealing not only new clips of\ntheir upcoming projects (The Batman, Black Adam, The Flash and Aquaman and The\nLost Kingdom) but specifically showing off heroes we haven\u2019t seen before. The\ntrailer showed more of  Erza Miller\u2019s Flash, Dwayne Johnson\u2019s Black Adam,\nJason Mamoa\u2019s Aquaman and Robert Pattenson\u2019s Batman.  The true reveals\nwere in Noah Centineo\u2019s Atom Smasher, Pierce Brosnan\u2019s Doctor Fate, and (stand\nout) Aldis Hodge as Hawkman. This amazing trailer was dropped on YouTube before\nthe swath of Super Bowl Sunday commercials. The trailer finishes with the\nreveal that the films will only be in theaters — leaving room for speculation\nas to how this will not only benefit the movie theater space but how it will\nimpact HBO Max. With HBO Max previously having a slate of films set for a day\nand date release format in 2021, films such as Space Jam, The Snyder Cut,\nMortal Kombat, Dune, The Matrix and more came directly to streaming and to\ntheaters on the same day.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In more HBO Max news, it appears The Boondocks Reboot announced in 2019, based on the 2005 Adult Swim classic directed by Aaron McGruder, has been canceled according to Cedric Yarbrough. In an interview with the Geekset Podcast, Yarbrough, who played Tom Dubois on the original boondocks, stated Sony has decided to \u201cpull the plug.\u201d He goes on to express his wish for the show to come back, saying they already started to record and that the scripts were \u201cso damn funny.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Cartoon Network\nand Adult Swim properties have been making their way to the streaming platform\nwith some given new reboots of their own. Adventure Time Distant Lands, a\nsequel to 2010\u2019s Adventure Time, wrapped up this past year. However, it was\nagain announced that it would be getting another spinoff in Adventure time:\nFiona and Cake featuring Fiona, Cake, and Simon Petrikov (The former Ice King)\nin a new 10 episode series. However, with every hopeful spinoff is a sad\ncancellation with the Cartoon Network turned HBO Max series Infinity train<\/em>, with Cartoon Network not wanting to pursue more seasons after the\nApril 4 book Duet<\/em>. Since the announcement of the cancellation,\nTwitter users and even the creator of the show have supported bringing back the\nshow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disney, unlike Warner Bros., decided to launch its big superhero trailer on Super Bowl Sunday with the Marvel Entertainment YouTube Channel dropping Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness | Official Trailer<\/a> on Feb. 13. The film\u2019s trailer has reached more than 40 million views with DC\u2019s Mutifilm showcase only gaining 800,000. The trailer gave many more clips of Benedict Cumberbach\u2019s Dr. Strange, Elizabeth Olsen\u2019s Scarlet Witch, Xochitl Gomez as the newly introduced America Chavez, Benedict Wong\u2019s Wong and more. The news that drove the internet wild was the reveal of a tease at Patrick Stuart\u2019s Professor Charles Xavier making an appearance in the new film. The film is set to release May 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
