The beginning of December has seen a flurry of new trailers being released.

First up with Illumination and Universal's animated ’The Super Mario Bros.’ movie, with Chris Pratt leading the voice cast, this new film looks to give the Lego Movie treatment to the Mario world. The idea is very much your basic Mario storyline with Bowser (Jack Black) up to no good and our hero must work with his friends to stop him. Also in the voice cast is Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong, Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek and Sebastian Maniscalco as Spike.

The animation is directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, with the movie landing in UK cinemas on the 31st March 2023.

Second up we have ‘Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny’ which has Harrison Ford back for the fifth film as Indiana Jones.

Harrison Ford is now 80 and is back as the famous archaeologist, over 40 years since first playing the character. Along with Indiana, his friend Sallah, played by John Rhys-Davies, is also back. 

The movie also stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Indiana’s goddaughter as well as Mads Mikkelsen and Antonio Banderas.

What’s interesting about this new film is Harrison Ford is 'de-aged' in many of the sequences and looks similar to how he appeared in the previous films.

We also have Paramount Pictures first trailer for ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’, which is the seventh instalment of the Hasbro film franchise. The latest movie introduces the animal-themed Maximals, Predacons and Terrorcons.

Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback star in the upcoming action film from director Steven Caple Jr., who previously directed ‘Creed II.’ Anthony Ramos plays Noah, an ex-military electronics expert who lives with and supports his family in Brooklyn. Dominique Fishback plays Elena, an artifact researcher at a museum. Peter Cullen, voices Autobots leader Optimus Prime throughout the franchise’s run, and will reprise his role as the film centers on Optimus in 1990s Brooklyn and is inspired by the franchise’s ‘Beast Wars’ storyline.

The trailer introduces Optimus Primal, the leader of the Maximals who’s voiced by Ron Perlman and can transform into a gorilla. Additional cast members include Pete Davidson as Mirage, an Autobat who can transform into a Porsche; Sebastian Maniscalco as Wheeljack, who can become a Volkswagen bus; Michelle Yeoh as Airazor, a Maximal who can turn into a falcon; and Liza Koshy as Arcee, an Autobot who can transform into a Ducati 916 motorcycle.

Last, but by no means least, Disney has just released Marvel’s highly anticipated ’Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3.’ Teaser trailer.

 This is writer/director James Gunn’s final ‘Guardians’ film, with this instalment promising to wrap up the story of at least this group of Guardians.

Many familiar faces from past ‘Guardians’ films are returning as well, including Chris Pratt as Peter Quill, Zoe Saldaña as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Pom Klementieff as Mantis, Vin Diesel as Groot, and Bradley Cooper as Rocket.

 The official synopsis
Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team to defend the universe along with protecting one of their own. A mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians.
