Paul Rudd may be best known for comedy, but he’s keen to show he has more strings to his bow than that with the thriller, The Catcher Was A Spy. The trailer for the movie has arrived, which you can take a look at below.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘This gripping, stranger-than-fiction espionage thriller brings to life the incredible true story of Moe Berg, the professional baseball player who became a World War II spy. A Jewish, Princeton-educated, multilingual catcher for the Boston Red Sox with a closely-guarded private life, the enigmatic Berg (Paul Rudd) was already a man of mystery when, in 1944, the US government’s wartime intelligence agency enlisted his services. His mission: go behind enemy lines in Europe to assassinate the Nazi’s chief nuclear scientist before the Germans develop an atomic bomb. Trading in his catcher’s mitt for a trench coat, Berg must rely on his formidable, steel-trap intellect in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse—with the fate of the world hanging in the balance.’
The movie is in US cinemas from June 22nd. No UK release date has been set. [Read more…]
Marvel has already had one hell of a year with Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War. They’re hoping to continue that with their third movie of 2018, Ant-Man and The Wasp, which has just dropped a new trailer.
It’s a busy year for Marvel, as they have Black Panther out in a couple of weeks, followed by Avengers: Infinity War in early way. Normally two movies in a year is enough, but they’re also preparing Ant-Man And The Wasp for an August release.

However, with a July 2018 release planned, they’re now moving into high gear, filling out the cast. That includes the announcement at Comic Con that Michelle Pfeiffer has signed up to play Janet Van Dyne in the movie.
