GoKawiilIt’s Friday, the second full day at San Diego Comic-Con, and CNET is onsite for all the happenings. While we eagerly await Marvel’s Hall H presentation on Saturday, we’re gathering here to bring you trailer drops and release dates for upcoming movies and TV shows. Though fans have gotten an early round of official trailers for Clayface and Avengers: Doomsday ahead of the convention, Disney, Warner Bros., Prime Video, Paramount and more studios are planning to dish out clips, news and the latest scoop on premiere dates for some of their hottest titles.
What are the must-watch trailers so far? Catch The Rings of Power, Ebenezer, Blade Runner 2099 and more below, then check here later to see any expected (or surprise) drops throughout the event.
Blade Runner 2099
Several years in the making, Blade Runner 2099 will debut on Nov. 25 on Prime Video. The eight-episode limited series is a sequel to the 2017 film Blade Runner 2049, and stars Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer, along with Sheila Atim, Katelyn Rose Downey, Dimitri Abold and Daniel Rigby among the cast.
Set in an alternate version of LA where replicants run things and the humans play second fiddle, the series sees Yeoh’s replicant Olwen chasing down outlaw replicants who’ve gone missing. With her own shelf life on a ticking clock, the stakes are high for her and for her human fugitive partner, Cora (Schafer).
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Season 3
Remember in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, all that talk of “The One Ring to rule them all”? Well, season 3 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is going to be all about that. These episodes take place five years after season 2, and by the looks of things, Sauron’s war with the elves is going strong, and he’s expanded his power across the majority of Middle-earth. Now all Sauron has to do is forge that pesky One Ring so he can, well, rule them all.
Jamie Campbell Bower joins the cast as the elven lord Celeborn, Galadriel’s husband and noble warrior in the fight against Sauron. This season will also introduce Nazgnagôl, better known as the Ringwraiths, in an early form of the corrupted ringholders in the story. The new season debuts on Nov. 11 on Prime Video.
Coyote vs. Acme
Formerly shelved by Warner Bros. Discovery, the film is an animation-meets-live-action story that Ketchup Entertainment picked up and will open in theaters on Aug. 28. Fed up with Acme’s unreliable products, Wile E. Coyote decides to hire a lawyer and sue the company. Will Forte plays Kevin Avery, who represents Coyote in his case, with John Cena as Buddy Crane, corporate counsel for Acme. The movie also features Lana Condor along with a host of Looney Tunes characters like Porky Pig, Tweety, Foghorn Leghorn and Granny (who gets dinged by an anvil).
