Happy Monday, Morselers. Let’s get this work week started in the very best way we know how — with two new promo videos from The LEGO Batman Movie! Also in today’s Movie Morsels, we’ve got the latest photo from Justice League, a behind-the-scenes look at T2 Trainspotting, a clip from xXx: Return of Xander Cage, and much more!
The LEGO Batman Movie
Two things are made very clear in the following promos for The LEGO Batman Movie. One: Batman’s not really a hugger. Two: It must be great to be Batman! In addition to Will Arnett’s Caped Crusader, we also get a little more of Rosario Dawson’s Barbara Gordon, Michael Cera’s Robin, and Ralph Fiennes’ Alfred in these two video spots, both of which make the wait for the film’s release on February 10th that much more difficult. Oh the sweet, sweet Bat-agony!

Justice League
Want even more Batman? You’ve got ‘im… in the latest still from the Justice League movie! This time the Dark Knight stands alongside Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa’s Aquaman, Ezra Miller’s Flash (whose body armor in this film still makes no sense to me), and Ray Fisher’s Cyborg, exiting their ship ready to confront someone or some…thing.

T2 Trainspotting
The day I never thought would arrive is at long last almost here: the release of Danny Boyle’s long-awaited Trainspotting sequel, with the original film’s cast reunited! In the film’s latest behind-the-scenes featurette, Jonny Lee Miller’s Sick Boy takes center stage. According to the actor, things are “darker and sadder” this time around. Well, as long as he’s not sicker…
xXx: Return of Xander Cage
Somebody is gonna have to explain to me the science behind “jungle jibbing” (the latest extreme sport that Vin Diesel’s superspy practices in xXx: Return of Xander Cage), because it appears kind of absurd. It is, however, awesomely cool to look at, which, let’s face it, is all that really matters in a Vinnie D movie…
Pacific Rim: Uprising
Brace yourselves, Pacific Rim fans! We’ve got what looks like the first photo of actor John Boyega in his Jaeger pilot suit on the set of director Steven DeKnight’s Pacific Rim: Maelstrom in Australia. Boyega is playing the son of Idris Elba’s character from the original Pac Rim, so expect the Force Awakens star to collect some bloody payback for what the Kaiju did to his old man in Guillermo Del Toro’s monsterpiece…
Murder on the Orient Express
Finally today… In case you missed it last week, Willem Dafoe has joined the cast of the Murder on the Orient Express remake, which co-stars Johnny Depp, as well as Kenneth Branagh (who’s also directing the film) as French master detective Hercule Poirot. No word yet on who Dafoe will play. So does anyone have any theories as to which train passenger (and, most likely, murder suspect) the good Mr. Dafoe could wind up portraying?
