Avengers: Infinity War – Final Trailer

“Let’s talk about this plan of yours.” says Star-Lord, while Peter Parker looks on bemused, while Drax looks just grim. “I think it’s good, except it sucks. Let me do the plan, that way it might be really good.” “Wow.” Tony Stark relies, perfectly capturing how much of an ass he thinks Quill is in […]

Is ‘Pacific Rim: Uprising’ In Trouble?
