They find themselves fighting against supernatural forces, part of a Nazi experiment.’

The feature will premiere in 2018 in line with Justice Ginsburg’s 25th anniversary on the Supreme Court.’
Justice League may not have been the greatest introduction to Jason Momoa’s Aquaman, but hopefully when his solo film arrives, it’ll be more Wonder Woman than Batman vs Superman. The first poster for the movie has now arrived, which you can take a look at below.
Synopsis: ‘An immersive character study – and an idiosyncratic attack on bigotry – Hot to Trot gets up on the stage and goes behind the scenes to discover the captivating but little known world of same-sex competitive ballroom dance, a world where expressions of personal passion become a political statement, and where one false step can crush aspirations.
