I don’t watch sport as a rule and even though it is sporting juggernaut that bestrides the globe, that included ignoring the Superbowl (save for Rihanna who was red hot fabulous!).
However, that exclusion of that epic sporting event from my life did not include the trailers release during the telecast which gave us some cool new trailers for major blockbusters coming our way this year!
This is not an exhaustive list of them but the three featured are the ones I am most looking forward to and which I’ll definitely make some time for in my crowded cinema-going calendar …
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

It’s time to face the music. Still reeling from the loss of Gamora, Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) rallies his team to defend the universe and one of their own – a mission that could mean the end of the Guardians once and for all if it’s not successful. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 is once again written and directed by the American writer / filmmaker James Gunn, director of the movies Slither, Super, Guardians of the Galaxy, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and DC’s The Suicide Squad previously, plus this year’s Guardians Holiday Special; he also wrote the screenplay for Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead and Greg McLean’s The Belko Experiment. Based on the comic book characters created by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. Produced by Kevin Feige at Marvel Studios. (courtesy First Showing)
