Geek- The Warner Bros. Comic-Con panel on Saturday morning in San Diego ended up being chock full of footage from upcoming films! Instead of trying to cover all of the information that was disseminated on the panels (some had more to share than others), the internet people who are not in San Diego were blessed with a wealth of material to gawk at from Wonder Woman, Justice League, Suicide Squad, Kong: Skull Island and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
The DC Cinematic Universe is expanding with Suicide Squad in mere weeks and Wonder Woman flying an invisible jet into theaters next year, so it’s unsurprising those properties kicked off the panel. Moderator Conan O’Brien brought out all the DC Cinematic Universe film directors (that we know about) to line-up on the stage – Zack Snyder, Patty Jenkins, Ben Affleck, David Ayer, Rick Famuyiwa, and James Wan before booting all of them but the lady.
Patty Jenkins took over the stage and brought out the cast of Wonder Woman, including Gal Godot (Diana) and Chris Pine. The big news, of course, was the unveiling of a full Wonder Woman trailer that shows off more of the setting and the action of the film.
Not a lot of plot on display, but considering the movie doesn’t open until June 2017, there’s plenty of time to push Wonder Woman as her own story. It was important to start the DC Comics part of the panel off with the message of course correction from the dark, underwhelming Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Course correction continued with new material from Zack Snyder’s Justice League, which is currently in production. The Justice League part of the panel with Affleck, Gadot, Ezra Miller, Jason Momoa, Henry Cavill, and Ray Fisher kicked off by unveiling a high resolution image of the whole Justice League in costume for the first time.
Surprising everyone, Zack Snyder has also prepared footage from the movie and cut it into a San Diego Comic-Con teaser. Prominently featured are Jason Momoa’s Aquaman and Ezra Miller’s Flash.
Wrapping up the live-action superhero part of the panel was the Suicide Squad cast, including the big stars Will Smith, Jared Leto, and Margot Robbie. Since their film opens on August 5th, there wasn’t a lot of new information given out, we’ll just have to wait for the movie. Although Will Smith did have an entertaining anecdote about how Jared Leto behaved on set.
It wouldn’t be a DC Comics domination push if they didn’t also release a video for Comic-Con, especially when the Suicide Squad footage from last year caused such a piracy kerfuffle. If Wonder Woman and Justice League had clips, Suicide Squad was going to make one too.
The most unexpectedly awesome footage came from Legendary and Warner Bros.’s Kong: Skull Island, the King Kong prequel by the producers of Gareth Edwards’ American Godzilla that will eventually lead to a cross-over movie where Godzilla and King Kong fight (in a few years, if the movie doesn’t flop).
Dude. That Kong is huge. Certainly the largest version of Kong to ever be made in America (I’m fuzzy on how big Kong is in Godzilla Vs. King Kong compared to here, but I’m sure there will be many a think piece about it)
Check out this Vietnam War-esque shot. Ape-pocalypse Now.
Director Guy Richie is going to do to the legend of King Arthur what he did to Sherlock Holmes, which is try to make him cool in a modern blockbuster context. That’s going to happen with King Arthur: Legend of the Sword starring Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) as the title character.
Then, Eddie Redmayne appeared in the audience and began to hand out wands. Yes, it was time for new things from the Wizarding World of J.K. Rowling, as the first movie in a planned trilogy this November 18th – Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. After some very cagey answers to Conan’s questions, Fantastic Beasts debuted its first full trailer!
Wow! Actual fantastic beasts! This is like magic Pokémon Go!
