“Flamin’ Hot Cheetos” are arguably the most popular bag of chips out in these streets. But is that popularity enough to warrant its own origin story film? Apparently it is.
Last year it was reported that Searchlight Pictures was producing a movie centered around the creation of Frito-Lay’s most popular potato chip and today we’ve gotten the first trailer for former brand janitor Richard Montañez’s rags-to-riches story. Dubbed Flamin’ Hot (of course) the Eva Longoria-directed project takes the true life story of Richard Montañez (portrayed by Jesse Garcia) and turns it into a comedic and heartfelt film about a man who went from running the streets with his gang-banging homies to the top of the corporate world simply by turning to his Mexican heritage and applying it to the American dream.
With Frito-Lay struggling to maintain its popularity in bodegas across the board, Richard Montañez came up with the idea for a churro that was spicy but not overbearing and pitched the idea of the “Flamin Hot Cheetos” to the higher-ups at the company. The rest was history. Though he went on to be a massive success and even released a book about his million dollar baby, Flamin’ Hot: The Incredible True Story of One Man’s Rise from Janitor to Top Executive, Frito-Lay has disputed his role in the creation of the chip as they be hatin’, allegedly.
Regardless of whether or not all the facts line up, the trailer to Flamin’ Hot does seem like it will be not just a fun film for the family, but also an inspirational one for anyone out there trying to turn their life around.
Check out the trailer below and let us know if you’ll be checking for it when it hits theaters June 9.

Wait, are we going to finally get ALL the Spider-Man actors in one single film together?
No, we’re not talking about Spider-Man: No Way Home, we’re talking about Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse as the latest trailer teases some voice over work from Tobey McGuire (OG Spider-Man), Andrew Garfield (Overlooked Spider-Man), and Tom Holland (Zendaya’s Boyfriend Spider-Man). In the minds of fans it’s only right that the three live-action Spider-Men finally get familiar with the lone Black Spider-Man, Miles Morales (Shamiek Moore) even if it’s only in animated form.
In the 30-second clip to the upcoming Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, we hear McGruire, Garfield and Zendaya’s man (we love ya, Tommy), speak about the hardships that come with being a Spider-Man from previous films before Moore gives his own assertion on the matter saying “Anyone can wear the mask… but how you wear it, that’s what matters.”
While Sony has been mum on the possibility of McGuire, Garfield or Holland actually do some voice over work in Across The Spider-Verse, after the Into The Spider-Verse released, the writers did say they wanted Tobey McGuire to take on the voice of OG Spider-Man (that gig went to Chris Pine), but didn’t think he’d be interested in reprising his iconic role. Then years later we got No Way Home and all of a sudden, maybe he wouldn’t be so opposed to returning to the Marvel universe even in animated form. As for Andrew Garfield, y’all know he’s itching to be Spidey in anyway he can and surely wouldn’t turn down a check these days. Tom Holland, he seems like he’d be down for it.
Guess we’ll have to wait till June 2nd to find out if any of the three or all three make guest cameos but until then check out the quick spot below and let us know if you think they’ll surprise fans with some voice over work in the comments section below.

The Transformers film franchise doesn’t have the same blockbuster power it might’ve had more than a decade ago, but director Steven Caple Jr. is hoping to change that with his latest installment, Transformers: Rise of The Beasts. The latest trailer does show a lot of promise.
Starring up and coming Latino star in the making Anthony Ramos (In The Heights), the latest trailer to Transformers: Rise of The Beasts gives us a better look at the Maximal transformers which turn into animals instead of cars, but are actually descendants of the Autobots. With a new threat coming to earth in the form of Unicron who’s capable of devouring the planet, Galactus style, the Autobots and Maximals have to figure out how to stop him with the help of a Latino kid from Brooklyn (FOH Shia LaBeouf!).

For a while now it’s been said that the sequel to Captain Marvel would be a team-up between Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel), Monica Rambeau (Photon) and Kamala Kahn (Ms. Marvel). Sure enough, the first trailer for the upcoming The Marvels confirms that the film will be a crossover event involving the three superheroes.
Picking up where the season finale to Disney+’s Ms. Marvel left off, the trailer finds Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) switching bodies with both Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) and Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) much to the astonishment of one, Nick Fury. Looking to make sense of how Kamala is able to pull off such a feat, Fury and Rambeau pay Khan and her family a visit which provides some comedic hijinks that’s sure to be a big part of the upcoming film.
Knowing they have to work together to save the world from the latest villain that’s threatening it, Danvers and Rambeau reluctantly form a trio with the young Khan who’s more than excited to be joining forces with her idol and newfound teammate. So far Marvel Studios has been tightlipped about the actual plot of the film and who the main villain will be. Unfortunately for fans, the trailer doesn’t provide any intel or even clues as to who the super-powered trio will be taking on.
What the trailer does showcase is that the film seems to be taking on the humorous and family-driven tone that made Ms. Marvel a fan-favorite series that got bombed by right-wing trolls who had a problem with superhero series starring a female Muslim as the titular character. Oh well.
Check out the trailer to The Marvels below and let us know if you’ll be checking for this when it hits theaters this November in the comments section below.

During last night’s Grammy Awards, 20th Century Fox finally gave us our first teaser trailer to the upcoming reboot to the cult classic comedy, White Men Can’t Jump. And truth be told, it looks aight.
Starring Jack Harlow as the white man referred to in the title, who was played by Woody Harrelson in the original 1992 film, the teaser trailer has Jimmy (Jack Harlow) building a sort of bromance with his partner-in-grind, Kamal Allen (Sinqua Walls) on the basketball court while trying to hustle money out of opponents who assume Jimmy got no game. Though there’s no word on the specific plot to the film or how these two ended up running mates, it does seem like this duo shares a little chemistry in the limited scenes we see in the trailer.

It should be worth noting that in this version of the movie the characters played by Harlow and Walls aren’t the same as the ones played by Wesley Snipes (Sidney Deane) and Woody Harrelson (Billy Hoyle a.k.a Billy H*e). In other words, don’t be surprised if Sidney and Billy H*e make a surprise cameo appearance in the new film.
Check out the trailer to the Calmatic-directed White Men Can’t Jump and let us know if you’ll be checking for it on Hulu when it starts streaming May 19.

The Ghostface Killer is back but instead of causing a ruckus in the burbs of the West Coast, he’s terrorizing New Yorkers instead (he probably got a Death Row pendant under his costume).
A month after we got our first teaser trailer for Scream VI, fans of the cult classic franchise have not gotten the first full official trailer for the slasher film and truth be told, it looks pretty damn good. Taking place after the events of Scream 5 in which the surviving “teens” move to New York to escape the bloody memories left in Woodsboro, California, Sam Carpenter (Melissa Barrera), Mindy Meeks-Martin (Jasmin Savoy Brown), Chad Meeks-Martin (Mason Gooding) and Tara Carpenter (Jenna Ortega) find themselves being hunted by the latest nut to take up the mantle of the Ghostface murderer.
This time around though, the killer promises to be “something different” as he attempts to take down the aforementioned characters along with Scream alumni, Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox). And though it was reported that OG Scream queen, Neve Campbell skipped this entry into the franchise due to contract disputes, we wouldn’t be surprised if that was a smoke screen and her character of Sidney Prescott ends up being the secret identity of the killer this time around. We already know that every Scream movie ends with a wild twist, so why not?
Filled with violence, kids running for their lives, and of course screaming, the trailer to Scream VI promises fans a bloody good time and an ending that better shock the heck out of everyone. At least we hope it does.
Will you be checking out Scream VI when it hits theaters March 10 or are you all screamed out? Let us know in the comments section below.
