'Va être' or 'sera'

For the phrase 'It will be epic!', can we also say 'Ça sera épique!' or can we only use 'Ça va être épique!'? Merci!

Hi Victoria, 

Just to add to what Jim said the English was actually -

'It's  going to be epic'

so the literal translation would be in the near future.

Hope this helps!

Bonjour de nouveau Victoria,

Similar point as my previous answer.

It is a matter of expressing the most appropriate proximity in time.

Is the action near or further away?

Bonne journée

Jim
