Teen Wolf fans lucky enough to be in Hall H at San Diego Comic Con on Thursday got a
first glimpse at footage from the upcoming Teen Wolf Movie on Paramount Plus.
I will be discussing things that might be considered spoilers.
If you want to watch the Teen Wolf movie as a total virgin – don’t watch this video.
Seriously - my work with Official Teen Wolf Wiki and my visit to set give me insight into some
things that might not be obvious to the casual viewer so if you don’t want spoilers look away.
Let’s break it down starting with the voice over.
“You want retribution
against him, his friends,
everyone he loves.
Set me free
and we'll play a new game,
a game of chaos, strife, and pain!”
For those who know – you know.
This is a villain we’ve heard before.
If you don’t recognize the voice you have five seconds to ditch this video before I
spoil it for you forever – three – two – one
From Riddled -
“If you answer correctly we might consider letting them go.
Letting who go?
Your friends, your family.
Everyone who ever meant something to you."
So that’s happening.
When last we saw this particular fox spirit – it had been trapped by Isaac in box made
from Nemeton wood.
He and Chris Argent then left the country with the nogitsune tucked into their carry-on bag.
The only question remaining is who is void talking to in this voice over?
Who is he offering the opportunity for retribution?
And who would be angry enough at our little band of heroes to give up their free will
to a thousand year old trickster spirit?
There are zero clues to those questions offered in the visuals of the trailer but the quick
cut scenes do offer some tantalizing glimpses of some of our favorite characters.
First we get what appears to be Scott in silhouette followed quickly by an injured Liam struggling
to get up.
This scene actually goes with this bit from later in the trailer showing Hikari Zhang in a similar state.
It seems both she and Liam fought and lost just before this scene.
Then we have phalanx of Oni facing off in a scene that reminds me of this one from S3.
We know the nogitsune can create these vast illusions and my guess is that's what we’re seeing.
These shadows running through the woods appear to me to be Scott and Eli Hale.
I mean, that could be Malia – we see them running together later at the school.
Basically, there’s a lot of running in this movie.
Dead Deputy – probably not the only one.
Deputies are kind of Teen Wolf’s red shirts.
Then we see Sheriff Stilinskis backside facing off with three of the demon warriors.
Now this looks like the same foggy landscape we saw before – but I don’t think it is.
The first one looks like an illusion with the arch and other dressing, where as this
one looks like the damaged forest we see during the daytime later in the piece.
Roscoe makes an appearance alongside Eli and Scott – again running for their lives apparently.
Sheriff Stilinski in mortal danger on the ground – not a great position but defensible
if you have a gun and your opponent isn’t bulletproof.
I can’t tell if this is Scott’s house or not.
A lot of the original sets are still standing but some have been reconfigured from the way
they were during the run of the show.
I’m not sure who lives here but I believe that figure coming in is Deaton.
I mean, love you Seth but you’re the only cast member showing that much scalp skin.
Okay so this actually interests me a lot.
I have no idea what happened here but something big hit this part of Beacon Hills Preserve.
You’ve got what amounts to a perfect circle of destruction.
The trees look blasted, not just burned.
Now, I think this is where we saw the sheriff and the oni in that night time shot.
In this scene, you’ve got Lydia and a figure I think might be Jackson surveying the damage
while someone who might be Malia and a deputy return to the patrol car.
Again, don’t know what this is but I think it’s important.
A nice father and son moment with Tyler Hoechlin and Vince Mattis.
More Vince Mattis as cousin Malia is getting all grrrr at something while Eli is just like,
we have got to go now.
I can’t say much about this.
I know exactly what’s happening here because I was there when it was filmed.
I think it’s obvious that’s a mountain ash pour so I’m not too worried revealing that.
I’ll just say this is the start of an epic thing that leads to another epic thing in
Teen Wolf: The Movie.
Knowing what we now know about the big bad – here is Void menacing Eli directly.
I think that’s Hikari again, can’t be sure but it seems like her.
Love this – Peter lighting a cigar with a blow torch.
I have no words to describe how happy this made me.
Then we get the money shot with both Tyler’s doing their grrrr faces.
I do have a question though.
I think this figure back in the back is Melissa but she’s armed with a gun.
I mean, it could be Allison but her hair is straight in the movie and this is obviously
a bouncy body of curls.
If Melissa is packing though, I feel sorry for anything that gets in her way.
Again in the devastated portion of the preserve at night – this silhouette is Mason as you’ll
see in a moment.
Okay – we have to talk about this.
First - who is the kid?
Second – those ears.
I don’t think we’ve seen ears that pronounced since way back in the pilot.
Also, are the walls closing in on them – is this an Indiana Jones ancient temple trap?
I love this scene but it’s very confusing with the rest of the trailer.
There’s Mason – Deputy Mason Hewett.
I’m thrilled by this particular character development.
First, I always loved Mason because he was just so happy to be part of the team.
Here he’s a grown ass man and that desire to help people led him into public service.
I love that.
Next up the magical tree stump has been clear cut or it moved – they were never really
clear on if it could move or just caused people not to see it when it didn’t want to be seen.
Either way – yay Nemeton! or "Knee-maton" whichever you prefer.
Okay, so again, I was at this location so I can’t speculate because I kind of know.
I do think it’s obvious that she’s yelling Allison here – just like this scene in Season 3
The less said about this part the better.
Derek seems badly wounded. I don't like that.
Scott seems to be taking someone’s pain here but it’s taking a serious toll on him.
It’s almost as bad as this scene with Derek and Cora.
I don't even want to speculate what that might mean.
This part is pretty straight forward.
It’s the Allison reveal to Chris.
Followed by the woman herself hero walking from a burning car.
