Happy Tuesday everyone, and welcome to your second Daily Blast for this final week of July.

It seems the world is still recovering from Comic Con, as the news world was pretty silent, but we’ve got some good stuff for you, including a brand new trailer for the final part of the Hobbit saga.

Read on and enjoy!

At the top of the post: Released alongside the new trailer, which you’ll see below, we’ve got a somewhat solemn new poster for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. I like it, though.

Movies

– Speaking of, here is that brand new trailer for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. I think using the song from Return of the King is a cheap pull at the heartstrings, but goddamn it’s effective.

– Apparent test footage from a Deadpool movie leaked yesterday. Featuring Ryan Reynolds voicing the Merc with a Mouth…I really want this movie to be real. The Verge has more on it here.

– Not safe for work, but safe for Lady Gaga, here’s your new red-band trailer for Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, or as I’ve been calling it, Sin City: The Sequel I Keep Forgetting Is Coming Out.

– Remember that awesome sounding new King Kong movie, Skull Island we mentioned yesterday? Apparently it has yet to get a director. That said, Legendary is rumored to be in talks with Joe Cornish (Attack the Block) to direct. I would be totally for that!

TV

– With the first official trailer for [adult swim]’s new series Mike Tyson Mysteries, I’ve now run the gamut from having no idea what the show was, to being very confused by its existence, to now wanting to watch it VERY BADLY. Look for it in the Fall.

– Love It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia? Me too! Now you can live life by way of Dee, Mac, Dennis, Frank and Charlie, as The Gang has written a self help book titled The 7 Secrets of Awakening the Highly Effective Four-Hour Giant, Today. Look for it early next year, but you can pre-order it today on Amazon.

Comics

SHIELD-1-Deodato-41166

– Announced at SDCC, writer Mark Waid (Daredevil) will be putting together an ongoing SHIELD comic, starring Agent Coulson. The series will feature short, one to two comic length stories, each with different artists. Sounds like it has potential.

Spider-Woman-cover

– Spinning (heh) out of the “Spiderverse” event, Marvel has also announced a new ongoing Spider-Woman series, scripted by Dennis Hopeless (Avengers Arena) with art by Greg Land (Mighty Avengers).

Toys

– I’m not sure the country of origin, but this figure of Iron Man’s Bleeding Edge armor by Sentinel sure looks nice. But it sure is PRICEY, too.

– Showcased at SDCC this weekend, the real-life version of the forthcoming Hot Wheels Darth Vader car is way too cool.

That’s it for Tuesday! See you tomorrow with another Daily Blast! As always, if you have any tips, shoot an email to marty at blast-o-rama dot com!
