HipHopWired Featured Video Source: YouTube / Universal Pictures “What’s a bad miracle?,” asks Daniel Kaluuya’s character in the trailer for Jordan Peele’s latest horror flick, NOPE. Yeah, we’re still sold on this one. Starting with some history of the first moving images being Black history, “Did you know that the very first assembly of photographs to create a motion picture was a two-second clip of a Black man on a horse?,” says Keek Palmer’s character—things soon and sure enough go left.

NOPE, which also stars Steven Yeun, and is written and directed by Peele, is in theaters July 22, and we can’t wait. Also, the trailer featur...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Marvel / Marvel Now that Spider-Man: No Way Home is officially in the record books, Marvel will no doubt be shifting it’s focus to it’s next potential blockbuster film, Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness and we’ve just gotten our first teaser trailer for it (a Spider-Man: No Way Home post credits scene actually). Seemingly picking up where No Way Home left off, Doctor Strange sets out to find Scarlett Witch but not to reprimand her for her transgressions in WandaVision, but to ask for her help. After seeing just how fragile the Marvel multiverse was left due to his actions in Spider-Man, Dr. Strange has enlisted the help of Scarlett Witch but to what end, we do not know. Unfortunately for him Baron Mordo is still out and about collecting mag...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: A24 / A24 It’s been a hot minute since we’ve had a dope martial arts film to look forward to (Marvel’s Shang-Chi doesn’t count), but today (Dec. 14) we got a trailer to Everything Everywhere All At Once and we must say, we’re kinda hype about this. Starring Michelle Yeoh as a middle-aged woman named Mrs. Wang, Everything Everywhere All At Once finds Wang going from living an everyday life in the struggle to trying to save multiple realities at once. Throughout the trailer the A24 film seems like a mixture of Kung-Fu Hustle and The Matrix as Mrs. Wang taps into some martial arts skills she didn’t even know she possessed as she tries stop a “great evil” that’s overtaking the multiverse (this is not Marvel related).

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paramount / Paramount Pictures While we await to see if Idris Elba will finally become the first Black James Bond now that Daniel Craig is done with the role, you’ll be glad to know that he’s keeping busy beating down on an 90’s video game icon. Last night during the Game Awards 2021, we got the official trailer to Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and while it was cute to see the introduction of Tails into the franchise, fans were excited to see the bully known as Knuckles make his cinematic debut. Voiced by Stringer Bell himself (Idris Elba), Knuckles lays the smacketh down on Sonic as he’s down with the evil Dr. Ivo Robotnik (Jim Carrey). Though Knuckles is a rival of Sonic in the video game series, he does at time become a friend so it should be interesting to see...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paramount Pictures / Paramount Just when it seemed like the Scream franchised was dead and buried with the clunker that was 2011’s Scream 4, the late 90’s hit horror franchise returns because, well, we’re not entirely sure. What we do know is that Scream veterans Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox), and Dewey (David Arquette) are returning to take on the masked murderer even though they’re not the targets this time around. In the new trailer to Scream (5), a new generation of teenagers have fallen prey to a copycat killer who’s picking off the would-be social media influencers one by one. After Dewey realizes the killings are similar to what he, Sidney and Gale have survived for more than 20 years, he decides to initiate his subu...
After a whole lot of teasing and an even longer wait time, Space Jam: A New Legacy finally has a trailer. LeBron James, Bugs Bunny, and the Looney Tunes crew show off their basketball skills in the clip and set the bar high for the anticipated sequel in the process. Watch it below. James will follow in the footsteps of Michael Jordan once again, and this time it’s not just because of his basketball accolades. James is a genuinely good actor — as proven in Trainwreck, his debut role in a movie — and should nail his role playing himself in the sequel to the 1996 smash hit alongside a fictional family: a younger son named Dom (Cedric Joe), an older son named Darius (Ceyair Wright), his daughter Xosha (Harper Leigh Alexander), and his wife Kamiyah (Sonequa Martin-Green). The sequel’s plot revo...
Three years ago, City of Lies was one month away from hitting theaters before it was pulled by its distributor due to Johnny Depp’s less-than-flattering public image at the time. Now, the crime drama is finally scheduled to hit select theaters and VOD on March 19th, and a newly revealed trailer is streaming below. In case you forgot — which, considering how much time has passed since the first trailer came out in 2018, would be understandable — City of Lies is based on the true story of The Notorious B.I.G.’s death in 1997. Directed by Brad Furman, the movie follows a retired LAPD detective named Russell Poole (Depp) and a journalist (Forest Whitaker) as they try to uncover the identities of those responsible for the murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls. Allegedly a handful of co...
Source: Warner Bros. / Warner Bros. Outside of a few references in rap songs from artists who are familiar with Black history, the legend of Fred Hampton and the Black Panther Party (not the Wakandan one) is something that goes unrecognized by too many heads not only in the culture, but in society in general. That might could change real soon with the release of Shaka King’s Judas And The Black Messiah. Starring Daniel Kaluuya as the Back Panther Party’s chairman and inspirational leader, Fred Hampton, Judas And The Black Messiah tells the story of the positive change that Hampton was attempting to make in the Black community and the fear it struck in the hearts of authorities who knew a unified coalition of Black, Brown, and White people could be problematic to their oppressive ways. Look...
