So Comic Con was back for it’s annual appearance, and there was an extremely notable exception
from Hall H this year: Marvel Studios.
This is because they’re planning to reveal all of their announcements later on in the
year at D23, the Disney convention, or just on a random day, like their phase 3 announcement
last year.
But there was still DC news, Star Wars news, Star Wars news, all of the news.
So let’s recap it.
First off, as a Comic Con precursor, DC released these pics for Batman v Superman.
There was the Entertainment Weekly cover, which was really badly lit in my opinion but
still looked pretty cool.
There was this awesome showdown pic, this one of Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince...dancing,
I assume? and this I don’t know weird picture of Lex Luthor cosplaying as Amy Adams.
They also put out some Batman and Superman action figures, and a Wonder Woman barbie
doll.
No, I’m not even kidding.
This is the action figure they released for Wonder Woman.
Come on, DC.
And you know what, let’s stick with DC for now, since they pretty much dominated this
year because they pretty much had no competition besides Fox and sort of Star Wars.
They announced that Ben Affleck will be writing, directing, and starring in the solo Batman
movie, rumored to be called The Batman.
Never seen that before.
That should be pretty great, he’s directed Argo, The Town, Gone Baby Gone, so his directing
track record is solid.
DC also announced that three new animated movies will be coming out soon, Justice League
vs Titans, an original DC film starring the Teen Titans and presumably the Justice League.
Batman: Bad Blood, which I assume is based on the Taylor Swift song and Batman: The Killing
Joke, taking inspiration from the classic and disturbing Batman Joker comic.
Seeing this in animated form could prove to be terrifying.
Then there was the Batman v Superman trailer, I’ve already made a video on that, so you
can check that out on my channel, and there was also a trailer for the Suicide Squad.
This one wasn’t released officially online but it’s the digital age so naturally it
leaked and I watched it.
It looks pretty awesome and pretty creepy.
The trailer focused most on Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and Will Smith’s Deadshot,
if you got that pun then you are awesome.
We got to see a bit of the squad, Amanda Waller, some action.
This really does have a kind of horror movie feel to it, which I kinda like for the Suicide
Squad, and I really like from someone like David Ayer.
We see Batman on the Joker car and then we see Jared Leto as the Joker and you know what?
I actually liked him as the character.
The picture they released really didn’t have me excited, but I think Leto is gonna
bring a crazy amazing performance.
At least I hope.
It appears he’s performing surgery on someone here, or torturing them and tattooing them,
who knows.
We also hear his laugh, which is different from what we’re use to.
I can’t play it here because of reasons, but it’s a very staccato laugh, and I thought
it was interesting and different.
Now let’s talk about Fox.
Firstly, I just wanna say, just like last year, there was pretty much nothing for Fantastic
Four.
I personally think the movie looks good based on the trailers, but the fact that Fox keeps
sweeping it under the rug has me more cautious now.
But they did have Apocalypse and Deadpool stuff.
Firstly, for Apocalypse, there was a trailer that didn’t show a ton, but the movie’s
still being made, so come on.
We get to see a good look at Oscar Isaac as Apocalypse, same in this poster.
There are returning mutants like Proffessor X, Magneto, Beast, Mystique, and Quicksilver
hell yeah.
There are new mutants, at least new to this timeline, Jean Grey, Storm, Jubilee.
There’s bald professor X in a wheel chair.
There’s Apocalypse controlling mutants.
Again, like the other trailers, this looks pretty dark.
But so did Days of Future Past, and that was amazing, so we’ll see.
Then there was the Deadpool trailer, and yeah, this is definitely going to be a hard-r superhero
movie.
We get to see a bit of Deadpool’s origin, which I personally am not too familiar with.
You know from the beginning of this trailer that it’s Deadpool, where they say, we’re
gonna make you a superhero, and Ryan Reynolds say, Just don’t make the suit green or animated.
That got me smiling right off the bat.
We also get to see Colossus in action, that’s cool, more of that highway fight, a lot of
violence, a lot of bad language, I’ll say this, it’s very Deadpool.
Some people will like that, some won’t.
For me, it looks true to the character and I’m hoping for the best.
Also, Hugh Jackman took the stage to talk about Wolverine 3, his last outing as Wolverine
and he hinted that it would be based on old man Logan.
So that’s pretty neat.
Finally the other big competitor was Star Wars.
The big event was the behind the scenes-ish reel, which showed us some new stuff while
also not giving anything away.
The marketing campaign for episode 7 if it continues like this, might be the best marketing
campaign ever.
I’m not even like the biggest die hard Star Wars fan, but based on the news and cast and
trailers for this movie, I’m super hyped.
Speaking of Star Wars things that I’m super excited about, it was announced that Phil
Lord and Chris Miller are going to be making a Han Solo movie for 2018 I believe.
This news is perfect.
My favorite Star Wars character is Han Solo, Lord and Miller are two of my favorite directors,
in case you don’t know they made the Lego Movie and The Jump Street movies.
If they just cast a good young Han Solo this will be on the top of my most anticipated
2018 movies list.
So just the other little scraps and bits of news from the convention, there was a picture
of the female Ghostbusters cast all decked out, pretty cool I guess.
Warcraft had a trailer which I didn’t watch because I’m not a Warcraft fan and pretty
much all green screen CGI movies, which is what I’m guessing this is don’t really
excite me.
Also, the people behind Warcraft said that if it’s successful it could have 3 sequels,
which I wouldn’t say is definitely confirmed yet, as the Terminator Genisys crew said that
movie could have 3 sequels.
There was some stuff for Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight, that should be cool.
And there was also some Walking Dead trailers, probably, I don’t watch that show.
So that was all of the news from Comic Con.
By the way, quick news about my channel, generally speaking I upload on Fridays, with some exceptions,
but there won’t be a video this Friday because, this was this week’s video.
My Ant-Man review might also be a bit delayed, due to vacation and all that.
Anyway, what did you think of all of the news.
Which trailer was your favorite?
I’ll try to leave links to the leaked trailers so you can watch them, but they might be taken
down.
Be sure to like this video and subscribe for more videos like you just watched.
Thanks for watching and I’ll see ya next time.
