Geekiary News Briefs! Attack on Titan Trailer, Captain Underpants, Alien: Covenant, and More!

Welcome to today’s Geekiary Briefs! We’ll be sharing trailers for Attack on Titan Season 2 and Alien: Covenant, news about Rogue One, and more!

Shazam is still a couple of years away, but that hasn’t stopped Dwayne Johnson and Henry Cavill from giving fans a treat this week. Both actors shared a picture that ensures fans that the wait isn’t in vain. Shazam is targeting a 2019 release and is set in Warner Bros’ current DC Cinematic Universe.

New releases couldn’t knock Rogue One down from the box office. The first Star Wars stand-alone film has been able to collect $523.8 million worldwide. The domestic numbers stand at $286.4 million. New releases Assassin’s Creed and Passengers didn’t fare well and collected $22.5 million and $30.4 million respectively. I’m surprised that Passengers was even able to make this much considering the kind of plot it has. (via CBR)

A trailer for the second season of the hugely popular Attack on Titan anime has been released. The episodes will air in spring of 2017. Check it out!

Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created, with ALIEN: COVENANT, a new chapter in his groundbreaking ALIEN franchise.
