San Diego Comic-Con 2019: All the Movie and TV Show Trailers

The biggest pop culture event of the year — the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con — is here. From opening day on Thursday through the weekend, we will be treated to a smorgasbord of news, trailers, and reveals across the (American) entertainment spectrum. For those lucky enough to be in the city of San Diego, it means a real-life glimpse at the people behind their favourite movies, TV shows, comic books, and video games. But since SDCC is not interested in live streams, the rest of us at home must stay happy with the stuff we can find on the Internet, be it trailers released by the studios or trinkets of news pouring out on Twitter.

To make things easier for people like us, we've decided to compile the biggest film and TV trailers shown at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con in one place. And we will keep adding to the list as new ones keep coming in across the four-day event. So be sure to bookmark this page and keep checking in for the next few days. Here are the best film and TV trailers we've seen at Comic-Con 2019.

It Chapter Two

This sequel to the 2017 original — which was critically-acclaimed and stands as the highest-grossing horror film of all time — is set nearly three decades ahead, with The Losers Club now all grown up. The likes of James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, and Bill Hader play the adult versions, while Bill Skarsgård returns as Pennywise to terrorise them all over again.

Top Gun: Maverick

Tom Cruise is returning to the role he played 34 years ago in this sequel that's (deliberately) set 34 years after the events of the original, where the legendary naval aviator (Cruise) contends with a new world that doesn't need much of him — drones are said to play a part in the narrative — while instructing the son (Miles Teller) of a friend he lost a long time ago.

Undone

BoJack Horseman's Raphael Bob-Waksberg is the co-creator of this Amazon Prime Video adult animated comedy-drama. It follows a young woman (voiced by Rosa Salazar, of Alita: Battle Angel fame) who discovers she can play with time and then uses that newfound ability to uncover the truth about the death of her father (Bob Odenkirk, from Better Call Saul).

Terminator: Dark Fate

Instead of being served a straight-up trailer, we were treated to a behind-the-scenes featurette featuring several of the cast and crew — producer James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and director Tim Miller among others — enthusiastically talk about the sixth film in the franchise. From a plot standpoint, it's actually the third film, though, because of some alternate timelines gibberish.

His Dark Materials

James McAvoy. Lin-Manuel Miranda. Ruth Wilson. And Logan breakout Dafne Keen. That's the stellar cast — among others — of this series adaptation of Sir Philip Pullman's seminal fantasy trilogy, which looks to succeed where the $180-million 2007 film adaptation failed. The new extended trailer does paint a promising picture, and it'll be interesting to see how they have modernised its Victoriana fantasy world, as the makers claim.

Rick and Morty

With the show out in November, we were hoping to get a full trailer — but alas, only a clip. For what it's worth, the first look at Rick and Morty season 4 features Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi voicing an alien named Glootie, who is somehow an intern at a new start-up launched by Morty and his father Jerry. As you'd expect, the app goes south, and the Smiths have trouble taking it down.

The Witcher

From flying, alien superhero to mutant monster hunter. Henry Cavill is in the lead of this Netflix series that's based on the written works of Andrzej Sapkowski, which comes across as a Game of Thrones meets Lord of the Rings in its first trailer. There's magic, violence, sex, and (naturally) monsters. And oh, by the way, Cavill's character is 100 years old when we first meet him in the show.

Released outside Comic-Con
Not every pop culture property makes it to San Diego for several reasons, but with increased interest during the period, several studios and networks use the opportunity to unveil new looks at their upcoming films and TV series. Here are the best trailers released outside Comic-Con, which is the same thing for those that aren't attending anyway.

Ad Astra

Brad Pitt stars as an astronaut who's asked to search for his missing father (Tommy Lee Jones) in this space epic from The Lost City of Z writer-director James Gray. In the new trailer, Pitt's character thinks his father is dead, but the government believes he's hiding because he may be up to no good — an experiment that can have deadly consequences for everyone in the Solar System.

Mr. Robot

Before Rami Malek won an Oscar for playing Freddie Mercury, he was known for this breakthrough performance in this series that started as ‘What if Fight Club, but also a sequel?' and then became significantly weirder thanks to creator Sam Esmail. The first teaser doesn't give much away, but we shouldn't have to wait too long for another look if season 4 keeps its 2019 air date.
