HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paramount / Paramount Looks like the Transformers film franchise is ready to take the next step in evolution and introducing us to some of their more primal characters. Today, Paramount Pictures dropped the new trailer to the latest installment in the Transformers saga, Rise of the Beasts, and from the looks of things it’s going to be a wild ride. Directed by Steven Caple Jr. (Creed 2), Rise of The Beasts once again finds Optimus Prime and the Autobots defending earth from the Decepticons, but this time around Prime will be getting assists from the Maximals, Predacons, and Terrorcons who’ve taken on the form of wild beasts for the pending battle. Heck, even Jazz gets in on the action and is introduced into the franchise as a Porsche. Can’t be mad at that....
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Marvel / Marvel Now that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has come, gone, and left us in all our feelings, the MCU is looking towards next year and hoping that James Gunn’s latest installment to the Guardians of The Galaxy can continue to keep fan boys happy and satisfied. Yesterday we got our first teaser trailer to Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3 and it looks like it’s going to be a tear jerker as it seems like rumors of the deaths of some major characters may prove to be true. Though details about the film’s plot are scarce so far, the trailer does confirm that Volume 3 will partly serve as an origin story to Rocket Raccoon and possibly end up being his swan song as well. Fans also got their first look at Will Poulter’s iteration of classic Marvel...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Universal / Universal Bears in the wild are already dangerous enough to deal with for the any human being, but what happens when the majestic beast sticks it’s nose into a brick of blow? Looks like we’re about to find out. A new film dubbed Cocaine Bear is set to hit theaters next year and it’s about exactly what the title states it is, a bear hopped up on cocaine. Inspired by the true story of a bear eating a brick of coke that ended up in the woods after a cocaine runner’s plane crashed in 1985, the dark comedy film takes all kinds of liberties with the story and reimagines what would’ve happened after the bear went Tony Montana in the sticks. In the first trailer to Cocaine Bear we find Ray Liotta (RIP), O’Shea Jackson, Jr., and Keri Russell amongst ma...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: 20th Century Studios / 20th Century Studios After more than a decade of waiting, Avatar: The Way of Water is set to hit theaters later next month, and with it comes extremely high expectations as far as box office receipts go. According to Variety, the highly anticipated James Cameron film needs to break box office records just for the budget to break even as apparently the film cost a whopping $2 billion just to get made. That’s right, Avatar 2 needs to become the third of fourth highest-grossing film just to match it’s production budget, and chances are that won’t be happening for a while. Cameron apparently told Disney and 20th Century Studios executives that his sequel budget was so high it represented “the worst business case in movie history.” Accor...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: YouTube / Universal Pictures “What’s a bad miracle?,” asks Daniel Kaluuya’s character in the trailer for Jordan Peele’s latest horror flick, NOPE. Yeah, we’re still sold on this one. Starting with some history of the first moving images being Black history, “Did you know that the very first assembly of photographs to create a motion picture was a two-second clip of a Black man on a horse?,” says Keek Palmer’s character—things soon and sure enough go left. Related Stories As in potential aliens, Keke Palmer representing all of us and a kid running for his life only to be jettisoned through the air. Again, we’re sold.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Marvel / Marvel Now that Spider-Man: No Way Home is officially in the record books, Marvel will no doubt be shifting it’s focus to it’s next potential blockbuster film, Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness and we’ve just gotten our first teaser trailer for it (a Spider-Man: No Way Home post credits scene actually). Seemingly picking up where No Way Home left off, Doctor Strange sets out to find Scarlett Witch but not to reprimand her for her transgressions in WandaVision, but to ask for her help. After seeing just how fragile the Marvel multiverse was left due to his actions in Spider-Man, Dr. Strange has enlisted the help of Scarlett Witch but to what end, we do not know. Unfortunately for him Baron Mordo is still out and about collecting mag...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: A24 / A24 It’s been a hot minute since we’ve had a dope martial arts film to look forward to (Marvel’s Shang-Chi doesn’t count), but today (Dec. 14) we got a trailer to Everything Everywhere All At Once and we must say, we’re kinda hype about this. Starring Michelle Yeoh as a middle-aged woman named Mrs. Wang, Everything Everywhere All At Once finds Wang going from living an everyday life in the struggle to trying to save multiple realities at once. Throughout the trailer the A24 film seems like a mixture of Kung-Fu Hustle and The Matrix as Mrs. Wang taps into some martial arts skills she didn’t even know she possessed as she tries stop a “great evil” that’s overtaking the multiverse (this is not Marvel related).

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paramount / Paramount Pictures While we await to see if Idris Elba will finally become the first Black James Bond now that Daniel Craig is done with the role, you’ll be glad to know that he’s keeping busy beating down on an 90’s video game icon. Last night during the Game Awards 2021, we got the official trailer to Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and while it was cute to see the introduction of Tails into the franchise, fans were excited to see the bully known as Knuckles make his cinematic debut. Voiced by Stringer Bell himself (Idris Elba), Knuckles lays the smacketh down on Sonic as he’s down with the evil Dr. Ivo Robotnik (Jim Carrey). Though Knuckles is a rival of Sonic in the video game series, he does at time become a friend so it should be interesting to see...
