Though Marvel isn't hitting Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, the event is in full swing and excitement has been high over the sneak peeks at Tron: Ares and Predator: Badlands and the toy booths for Lego and Hot Wheels. But there's more news coming for TV shows, movies and games. We're enthused about what we've seen from Avatar: The Last Airbender, Gen V and Welcome to Derry, so we're riding along with fans as announcements and trailer drops come out.
We'll be posting highlights here from the four-day affair to help you keep up with the hottest, weirdest and most interesting stuff that hits. Stay tuned for our daily updates as the weekend rolls on.
Peacemaker season 2 trailer gives a portal and Rick Flagg Sr.
James Gunn arrived in Hall H with the Peacemaker crew on Saturday, giving an intro for wrestler-actor John Cena, who hit the stage in full costume. Gunn ceremoniously set fans up for the official season 2 trailer debut, which is set to the tune of Ozzy Osbourne's Road to Nowhere. An interdimensional portal, two Peacemakers and a vengeance-seeking Rick Flagg Sr. should make for an interestingly chaotic season. Peep it below, and get ready to welcome the series back to your screen on HBO Max come Aug. 21.
Starfleet Academy joins Star Trek family
An original Paramount Plus series, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is set to arrive in 2026, just in time to celebrate the franchise's 60th anniversary. Saturday's panel presentation included a teaser trailer of the new show, which focuses on a group of young student cadets looking to earn their place as Starfleet officers. Check out the clip and Paul Giamatti's villainous turn as Nus Braka.
Talent on hand at SDCC included Holly Hunter, who plays Nahla Ake, the captain of the USS Athena and the school chancellor.

Coyote vs. Acme gets release date
After being rescued from the pile of scrapped ashes left by Warner Bros. Discovery, the Coyote vs. Acme movie will hit theaters next year thanks to Ketchup Entertainment. Footage screened during a Comic-Con panel showed John Cena playing Acme's attorney in a case that pits Wile E. Coyote against the corporation for faulty goods. Cast members Will Forte, Eric Bauza and Martha Kelly were on deck, along with director Dave Green. The film is set to debut on Aug. 28, 2026.
