We’ve got a selection of new trailers and clips for you to enjoy this afternoon, starting with a teaser for Jupiter’s Legacy, a new superhero saga from Netflix.
Based on the comic book by Mark Millar and Frank Quitely, Jupiter’s Legacy begins in the 1920s when a sextet of people find themselves on a strange island where they are granted superhuman powers. They spend the next 90 years being superheroes and we pick up with their superpowered kids, who are in line to follow in their parents’ footsteps but find that easier said than done:
“It’s a 50-year story self-contained inside one franchise,” Millar said the other month. “It’s got a cast of 50 or 60 super-characters. The story starts in 1929 and runs until the end of time. It runs through all time and space and explains the mystery of human existence, all tied into a superhero story. Right now, there is nobody with more money than Netflix, which, from a storyteller’s point-of-view, is the most exciting thing in the world.”
Can the world absorb another new superhero show on top of The Boys, Invincible and everything Marvel is putting out? We’ll find out when Jupiter’s Legacy lands on Netflix on May 7.
Watch Paul Rudd in the first clip from Ghostbusters: Afterlife
We’ve got another intergenerational story with Ghostbusters: Afterlife. To start, the movie is directed by Jason Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, who directed the first two Ghostbusters movies back in the ’80s. Bill Murray will reappear as Dr. Peter Venkman, but the heroes of the story are a couple of kids played by Mckenna Grace and Finn Wolfhard, who will pick the Ghostbusting trade where Venkman and his colleagues left it.
In this new clip, Paul Rudd’s seismologist character Mr. Grooberson encounters an army of mischievous Stay Puft Marshmallow Men in the grocery store. Wackiness ensues:
Ghostbusters: Afterlife hits theaters on November 11 of this year.
