Oh man, we can hardly wait for these flicks to drop.
But until then, here’s a taste of some of the best trailer action from May:
Mowgli
Honestly, the bar was set pretty high with Disneyâs live-action/cgi remake of The Jungle Book, but if anyone can retell the story of Mowgli in a fresh and inspired way so soon after the aforementioned film, itâs the mo-cap master himself, Andy Serkis. This first trailer promises a much darker and scarier take on Rudyard Kiplingâs legendary story. Though some of the CGI animals might look a little less photo-realistic that their Disney equivalents, they also seem far more expressive, a tradeoff that Serkis has likely made to capitalize on the motion-capture performances involved. Regardless, this trailer promises a harrowing and moving origin story for young Mowgli, and quite the visual buffet for cinemagoers.
Battlefield V
Can you hear it? Silence. Itâs the sound of empty streets and faux sick days around the world as everyone collectively stays in to Battlefield V over everything else. On May 23rd, the jaw-droppingly visceral reveal trailer for this highly anticipated fifth installment was released, and weâve been watching it on repeat ever since. Yes, the dislike ratio is a little high on YouTube, and some fans might not be wild about the setting, but thereâs no denying the effectiveness of this trailer. It starts off cinematic, before seamlessly transitioning to a first-person gameplay perspective, a shift that makes you really appreciate the intensity of the experience to come.
 Ant-Man and the Wasp
Big things come in small packages. But then again, at least one of these small packages can also go supersized so⦠forget the old sayings, all that matters is that this trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp looks freaking AMAZING. Scott Lang might not be the worldâs most adept superhero, but heâs sure trying his best, and now that heâs got a partner to watch his back, heâs bringing his A-game to the big screen in this sequel. From the looks of things⦠so too is everyone else involved. Evangeline Lillyâs Wasp seems like a real scene stealer, but the combination of comedy, action, and inventive use of powers is what really makes this trailer shine.
