‘Thor’, ‘Justice League’, ‘Westworld’ And More: The Biggest Trailers Of Comic-Con 2017
Hype.
Gods and monsters and robots the size of skyscrapers: oh hell yeah, it’s San Diego Comic-Con weekend. Some of the biggest properties in film and television debuted new trailers at the convention over the weekend, and I for one could not be more excited.
Pictured: me.
We’ve already showered love on the latest promos for Stranger Things, American Horror Story and the new Hey Arnold! movie – and if you’re wondering which of the three I’m most looking forward to, then you have truly underestimated my devotion to Nickelodeon.
But those titles are just the tip of the iceberg. Below, we’ve posted some of the biggest trailers from Comic-Con 2017. You’re welcome, ya dorks.
Thor: Ragnarok
Maybe the most buzzed-about trailer of this year’s con is for Taika Waititi’s deliciously campy contribution to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ramping up the humour seen in the previous trailer, this promo for Thor: Ragnarok really sells the Thor/Hulk buddy movie angle, and damn does Cate Blanchett look awesome as Hela the Goddess of Death. Oh, and hai Karl Urban. Nice haircut.
Thor: Ragnarok hits cinemas on October 25.
Justice League
Clearly the team at Warner Brothers and DC have cottoned on to the fact that Wonder Woman is officially their biggest draw. Princess Diana of Themyscira is all over this trailer (we also got confirmation over the weekend that a Wonder Woman sequel is on its way, which yeah, no shit). I’m also slowly coming around to the idea of a big screen Aquaman, although that’s mostly down to Jason Momoa.
Justice League hits cinemas on November 16.
The Defenders
Speaking of superhero team-ups, Netflix unveiled another trailer for their small-screen Marvel ensemble show featuring Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Loras Tyrell. Look, three out of four ain’t bad.
The Defenders premieres on Netflix on August 18.
Westworld
Hey look everybody, it’s a trailer for your favourite ultra-lavish, viciously violent, needlessly convoluted and absurdly expensive HBO seri-oh wait no never mind, it’s just Westworld. As you were.
Westworld season two premieres on HBO in 2018.
Game of Thrones
That’s more like it.
Game of Thrones season seven is currently airing on HBO.
Pacific Rim: Uprising
Most of this teaser seems to be about throwing shade at superhero movies, which hey, good for them. More to the point, it’s got John Boyega in it, and that goes a long way to making me pay money for just about anything.
Pacific Rim: Uprising hits cinemas on February 22, 2018.
Ready Player One
Any film that features all three of The Delorean, Freddy Krueger and The Iron Giant is probably going to be worth your attention. Ready Player One looks like Steven Spielberg directed a $200 million version of the Imaginationland episode of South Park, which honestly sounds pretty excellent to me.
Ready Player One hits cinemas on March 29, 2018.
Jigsaw
The moment they called the seventh Saw movie Saw: The Final Chapter, every horror buff knew it was only a matter of time before we were treated to a part eight. Personally I’m holding out for Jigsaw Goes Interstellar. Give it time.
Jigsaw hits cinemas on October 27.
…and the rest
Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Bright, Marvel’s Inhumans, The Gifted, Star Trek: Discovery, Preacher and DuckTales. It’s gonna be a hell of a year.
