I have to admit that I’ve been on a bit of a Marvel Studios high over the last few weeks after seeing “Black Panther”. It was so good and has made over $1.1 billion dollars at the global box office. Have you seen it yet? If you haven’t you are going to want to because it gives us a nice look at Wakanda which I am sure will play some part in the upcoming “Avengers: Infinity War” film that opens on April 27th. Now all the vibe is going to that film and we’ve just received a second trailer for the film. Let’s start off the Friday properly, and watch…..
The Premise: As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain. (thanks Wiki).

Piercing Ken Thoughts: I’m just going to repeat myself from the PiercingMetal.com website where I am quoted as saying “Hurry up April 27th, I am SOLD!!! Speaking truthfully, I’ve pretty much always been sold for this one’s potential and it sure looks like its going to deliver on all fronts. That’s all I can say about it and I wonder what you readers think about this second trailer. I doubt a third will be released but you never know with these studios. We now return you to your normal morning routine and by the way have a Happy St. Patrick’s Day”. – That’s all I have for now and I hope you are enjoying the ample supply of content in the still pretty new “Film and Television” Category. It’s going to be a busy place for sure based on what I’ve been reading.
