www.theverge.com
Its the first week of December, and the end of the year is coming in fast and with a lot to look forward to at theaters this month. That very cool-looking Lord of the Rings anime hits US theaters on the 13th; Sonic the Hedgehog 3 follows on the 20th; and Im deeply excited to see Nosferatu on December 25th. (If youre not with me on that last one, give Matt Zoller Seitzs RogerEbert.com review of it a read and get back to me.)While Im waiting to go be unnerved by Robert Eggers new spooky vampire movie, lets take a look at some good trailers from the last week. Star Trek: Section 31Ill admit that the biggest appeal for me about this straight-to-streaming spy movie spinoff of Star Trek: Discovery is Michelle Yeoh as Emperor Philippa Georgiou. Shes just having so much fun in this trailer. The trailers havent revealed yet what threat shell be facing, other than being forced to do teamwork, but it seems like itll be pretty heavy on the rag-tag team of antiheroes action thing.The Olatunde Osunsanmi-directed movie also stars Omari Hardwick, Kacey Rohl, Sven Ruygrok, Humberly Gonzalez, Rob Kazinsky, and Sam Richardson. It premieres on Paramount Plus starting January 24th.SeveranceI was late to the Severance party, having finally finished it a few months ago, so I can only imagine how eager people who saw its cliffhanger ending have been to see the story continue. Well, the second season of creator Dan Ericksons bizarro sci-fi drama is almost here, and it looks like its probably going to bring answers, with even more mystery heaped on top of it. All of the first seasons main characters, including Mark (Adam Scott), Dylan (Zach Cherry), Helly (Britt Lower), and Irving (John Turturro) are returning, and theyll be joined by characters played by the likes of Alia Shawkat, Gwendoline Christie, and Bob Balaban. Season two of Severance premieres January 17th on Apple TV Plus.InvincibleThe third season of Invincible will see a stronger, older Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) tell off GDA director Cecil Stedman (Walton Goggins) and episodes that show creator Robert Kirkman hopes will each feel like a finale. And theres no season break this time around.The show debuts with three episodes February 6th on Amazon Prime, with new episodes releasing every Thursday after until March 13th.The Wheel of TimeThe Wheel of Time continues its retelling of the Robert Jordan fantasy epic on March 13th next year. In its third season, the show follows Joshua Stradowskis Rand alThor the Dragon Reborn and Moiraine Damodred (Rosamund Pike) as they go into the Aiel Waste. Its been more than two decades since I read the book series, so I couldnt spoil what happens there for you if I wanted to, but I seem to recall this was a fairly dark time in the series. The GorgeWho knows what evil is in The Gorges, uh, gorge, but its apparently contained well enough that humanity only needs two snipers who arent allowed to interact with each other stationed on either side of it to make sure it stays there. The snipers, Levi (Miles Teller) and Drasa (Anya Taylor-Joy), do interact and fall for eachother, then end up in the gorge. Oops! Scott Derrickson directs the movie, which also stars Sigourney Weaver, Sope Dirisu, and William Houston. It premieres February 14th on Apple TV Plus.Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuXGiant robot anime fans rejoice: theres a new Mobile Suit Gundam coming next year. Its called Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, and its produced by Khara, the studio behind the Rebuild of Evangelion films.The weird name references a Gundam called the gMS- GQuuuuuuX. The show will follow a highschooler named Yuzuriha Machu Amate (Tomoyo Kurosawa) who learns to co-pilot the building-sized, sword-wielding robot with pilot Shuji Ito (Shimba Tsuchiya). Some of its episodes will head to Japanese theaters on January 17th.
