Synopsis for Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

If Knives Out was about the murderous ties of flesh and blood, Glass Onion makes a good case for being just as wary of one�s closest friends. When a tech billionaire Miles Bron invites some of his nearest and dearest for a getaway on his private Greek island, it soon becomes clear that all is not perfect in paradise. And when someone turns up dead, well, who better than Blanc to peel back the layers of intrigue?

Check out the Salty Popcorn movie page for more information on this upcoming film.

Sony/Marvel/Disney have released a new trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home - and incredibly there is a major spoiler for Avengers: Endgame at the start.

This is a very curious move from the studios as the Marvel film, which is the end of the Marvel Phase 3 period, has only been in cinemas for 2 weeks, although arguably with its $2.2 billion global gross arguably those that care have seen it.

Despite this the trailer is a good run through what will happen in the film which is set in various countries across Europe and looks like it will embed Peter Parker firmly in the Avengers/S.H.I.E.L.D. establishment making him a true Avenger.

So if you have seen Avengers: Endgame, or don't care about spoilers check out the trailer below.

?? SPOILERS AHEAD ?? It’s time to step up. Watch the new #SpiderManFarFromHome trailer now and get your tickets today: https://t.co/iQ9xchPwai pic.twitter.com/4VAh0VgHxr
