Netflix Releases Trailer for New Superhero Film Thunder Force

Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer are unlikely superhero best friends in Netflix’s new film Thunder Force. Netflix has officially released the trailer for the superhero film, which follows two best friends as they acquire a new set of superpowers. The superhero comedy is directed by Ben Falcone, McCarthy’s husband who also worked with her on projects such as Life of the Party and HBO Max‘s Superintelligence.

With Thunder Force, Falcone is expected to poke fun at some of the traditional comic book superhero tropes while promising to deliver good-hearted laughs. The trailer sees McCarthy’s character, Lydia reunites with her best friend, Emily played by Spencer. Lydia accidentally injects herself with a super strength formula, giving rise to the first real-life superhero team. Thunder Force is amongst one of 71 original Netflix films planning to release this year. Netflix enthusiasts can expect other films to debut in April such as South Korean drama, Night in Paradise, an Amanda Seyfried-led horror film, Things heard and Seen and Japanese psychological thriller, Ride or Die. The film is set to make its streaming debut on April 9.

Ralph Fiennes and Harris Dickinson play Duke of Oxford and his protege Conrad, respectively, as they try to stop the “collection of history’s worst tyrants and criminal masterminds” in achieving their goal to wipe out millions of people.

The King’s Man looks great. The action, featuring World War II’s weaponry, looks fun, fluid and well-choreographed, and like other films in the franchise, The King’s Man appears to be making good use of humour. The cast is packed with renowned performers like Rhys Ifans, Gemma Arterton, Matthew Goode, Tom Hollander, Daniel Brühl, Djimon Hounsou, and Charles Dance. At this point, only Colin Firth’s absence can hurt the movie. The official synopsis of The King’s Man reads, “As a collection of history’s worst tyrants and criminal masterminds gather to plot a war to wipe out millions, one man must race against time to stop them. Discover the origins of the very first independent intelligence agency in The King’s Man.”
