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, Other Mommy and Avengers: Doomsday ahead of the convention, Disney, Warner Bros., Prime Video, Paramount and more studios are will 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, Lanterns, Blade Runner 2099 and more below, then check here later to see any expected (or surprise) drops throughout the event.
Lanterns
When the Earth-heavy Lanters teaser dropped from DC a few months ago, it felt pretty full. There was Kyle Chandler’s Hal Jordan challenging John Stewart’s worthiness to carry a Green Lantern Corp. ring, desert-bound conspiracy vibes, flashbacks to John’s childhood and even a flash of Guy Gardner on screen. DC teased the ring’s powers, but with its new Comic-Con trailer released on Friday, things ramp up when Manhunters arrive on the planet to take out the Lanterns. Take a look at the interstellar enforcers and Sinestro in the trailer, and prepare for the series to land on HBO Max on Aug. 16.
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).
