Now there are reports that Darth Vader will appear, as well as a character who originally appeared on The Clone Wars show. It makes one wonder who is next, like characters from Star Wars Rebels.

Most people know Roland Emmerich as having a reputation like that of Michael Bay. That is, the man is capable of creating epic "popcorn" movies such as the original Independence Day (1996), and many believe that this director is constantly making the same film with Godzilla (1998), The Day After Tomorrow (2004), 2012 (2009), and Independence Day Resurgence, which is an official sequel to the hit 1996 film.

Sometimes I forget that Marvel is fortunate enough to have not one, but two connected Cinematic Universes that bring the company big money. The Avengers is most certainly the big cash-grabber for the past few years, but the X-Men franchise, which includes both Wolverine and Deadpool, has been making big money for Twentieth Century Fox for decades. X-Men Apocalypse is actually quite good, which is a big surprise considering its current 48 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. No doubt there is still a plan with another X-Men film, Deadpool 2, Wolverine 3, Gambit, and The New Mutants.

At this point, it is almost standard practice for a film to have three trailers, one that is a "teaser", then an official one, and then another one to really tease audiences before its final release.
