You wait three years for news about a movie, and then two trailers come along at once. But yes, if you still needed convincing that Mattel is, in fact, still turning Max Steel into a live-action movie, here’s a new, entirely-in-English trailer.
It was only last week that we actually got to see our first look at the long-in-gestation film, based on Mattel’s own animated reboot of its ’90s Max Steel toy line, which turned the action-spy figure into a Tron-esque teen superhero, with a trailer cut for international audiences that honestly wasn’t all that great. But now, Yahoo’s got a new, extended trailer for the film that you can check out below.
It’s still not all that interesting looking, but it fleshes out the characters and arc of the film a bit more clearly than the previous one did—even if that arc is more than a little predictable. But still, after all the fits-and-starts this movie went though in the process of coming to the big screen, it’s weird to finally be seeing bits of it in action, annoying sidekick robot and all.
*$13 for 48 AA, $12 for 48 AAA, $8 for 20 AAA, $8 for four 9V batteries
Max Steel hits theaters October 21st.

I gotta say, Annoying Sidekick Robot is indeed pretty annoying.
