Happy Friday, folks! (Or, for those of you who are joining me in Los Angeles today, Happy WonderCon!) Before you head home or head out for the weekend, we’ve got a few choice pieces for your viewing pleasure, starting with a brand-new trailer for Captain America: Civil War! Plus, the latest from X-Men: Apocalypse, The Jungle Book, and more!
Captain America: Civil War
A new international trailer for Captain America: Civil War has landed online.

Neighbors 2: Sorority Uprising
