GoKawiilSaturday’s rollout of news and trailers at San Diego Comic-Con wrapped up three days of big reveals, and CNET was in attendance to keep up with it all. Marvel’s Hall H presentation was highly anticipated, but there aren’t any new teasers to share.
Still, we want to make sure you’re clued in to all the biggest trailer drops and release dates for upcoming movies and TV shows. Though fans got an early round of official trailers for Clayface, Other Mommy and Avengers: Doomsday ahead of the convention, Apple TV, Warner Bros., Prime Video, Paramount and more studios continued to push out sneak peeks and thrilling teasers for their slates.
What are the must-watch trailers so far? All of them, basically. You can catch Carrie, The Rings of Power, Lanterns, Avatar: Seven Havens and others, and also be sure to scroll through all the SDCC merch reveals that you may’ve missed, too.
Carrie
Stephen King gave his stamp of approval and is an executive producer for Prime Video’s Carrie TV series that’s set to premiere on Oct. 7. From director Mike Flanagan, the show drops Carrie into a modernized world where cell phones and the internet give bullies a larger audience. But just because the novel took place in 1974 and it’s 2026 now, it doesn’t mean this new take won’t have Carrie’s telekinetic abilities setting things on fire.
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).
