The television series is based on the books written by Diana Gabaldon. Outlander stars Sam Heughan Jamie Fraser ), Sophie Skelton (Brianna Fraser), and Richard Rankin (Roger MacKenzie), along with executive producers Maril Davis and Matthew B. Roberts, joined the series panel on Friday morning to share what viewers can expect in the new season.Caitríona Balfe (Claire Fraser) was not present during the event due to prior commitments related to another project. However, he did send in a video message wishing attendees well, according to Parade. She also expressed her regret that she couldn't attend in person.Heughan, who plays Jamie Fraser in the show, spoke in detail about what it was like filming the final season. The shooting of the show has already been completed, and the show is likely to be released either towards the end of 2025 or in the first half of 2026."It was a very, very hard season to shoot. I think there were so many emotions going around. And I think day to day, you'd be like, 'Oh, this is just another day at work. We've been doing this for 11 years.' But then other days, you'd be like, 'This is the last time I'm going to work with this person or put on this costume or whatever.' So it made the last season very charged, I think, and a lot of scenes are very charged, but that all adds to this very dramatic storyline anyway. So it's more Outlander, just a mega XL version," he said.The creators of the show also shared a video at Comic Con that consisted of a compilation of the first seven seasons. According to Parade, it also included a never-before-seen sneak peek at the eighth and final seasonIn the clip, Jamie can be seen reading a book that was written by Claire's first husband, Frank (a historian in the future). She asks Jaime, "What does it say?" He ominously replies, "War is coming to the backcountry ... and that James Fraser dies in it."

Comic-Con salutes James Gunn and gets first looks at Coyote vs. Acme, and new Star Trek forays
Director James Gunn got an ovation from thousands for Superman in the most fitting place of all — Comic-Con. Among the highlights of day three of the San Diego pop culture spectacular was a sincere tribute to the director who's now helming Warner Bros.' DC Comics screen universe, even if John Cena played it for laughs. It came at a panel on the forthcoming Season 2 of DC's HBO series The Peacemaker, and Cena appeared in the title character's full comic costume and grand helmet, leading the legions in the kind of exaggerated drama he was perfect at provoking in his wrestling days. It was James Gunn's first time in front of a crowd in the weeks since Superman was released and has earned more than $200 million in North America. 'Today has been the most fun day I've had in a year,' Gunn told the crowd at the end of the session. Superman was his first film as captain of the DC ship, but his first foray was in 2021's The Suicide Squad, which spawned the Peacemaker TV series. The crowd saw scenes from Season 2, which arrives in August and sees John Cena entering another dimension where he gets to be a cool version of the hero instead of the often pained and pathetic version that's typical of the character. Some characters from Superman will make appearances. That panel followed another rousing showcase in Hall H, where star Ryan Gosling and directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller showed scenes from their forthcoming science-comedy space adventure Project Hail Mary. The scenes from the film set for release in March included a look at Rocky, a faceless, stone-shaped alien who becomes Gosling's unlikely partner in an attempt to save the universe from ecological disaster. Wile E. Coyote is getting his day in court — and theaters. The stars of Coyote vs. Acme delivered a rousing presentation Saturday morning of a movie that at one point wasn't going to be released but is now bound for theaters in August 2026. The underdog story – both of the movie and Coyote — was a running theme of the panel. But rather than direct ire at Warner Bros., the real-world studio that shelved the project, the panel focused on the fictional Acme Corp. 'This is purely an Acme decision … and I am saying this for legal purposes,' moderator Paul Scheer said at the start of the panel. The movie is a hybrid of animation and live action and is based on a 1990 New Yorker article that satirized a legal complaint filed by Coyote against Acme, the maker of the TNT, detonators, rocket shoes, catapults and other products that consistently backfire during the Coyote's fruitless attempts to catch the Roadrunner. Laughter filled Hall H as some 6,000 watched a montage of Coyote being blown up, flattened and falling into chasms in a scene set to Johnny Cash's cover of 'Hurt.' Coyote is replaying the moments in his lair when an ad for a personal injury lawyer appears on TV. They also played six minutes of the movie, including a scene of opening statements in the case in which Coyote's lawyer, Will Forte, accidentally unleashes a rocket skate into the courtroom, setting Coyote and the judge's robes on fire. Cena plays a slick Acme lawyer who wins over the jury, which includes a cartoon character, quickly. Forte said he didn't think the movie would ever get to audiences. 'I'm pretty speechless. You think back to the journey that this movie has taken. I had kind of given up hope at a certain point,' Forte said. At one point, his comments were interrupted by a man playing an Acme lawyer who stormed into Hall H with cease-and-desist letters. Director Dave Green said the movie conforms to famed animator Chuck Jones' rules for the struggle between the Coyote and Roadrunner, which include the bird always staying on the road and the Coyote being ultimately more humiliated than hurt when he falls, is crushed or gets blown up by TNT. The movie, which features cameos from numerous Looney Tunes characters like Foghorn Leghorn, Tweety and Bugs Bunny, will be released on Aug. 28, 2026. Ketchup Entertainment teamed up with Warner Bros. on the film and in the release of The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie. Also on Saturday morning, the cast of Bad Guys 2 teasing new footage from the movie and describing how they recorded their characters. Marc Maron, who plays Snake, joked he asked to be tied up as he performed his lines on the floor. 'The depth of the character should read a little more this time,' he said. The film, based on the graphic novel series by Aaron Blabey, introduces a new crew of animal criminals, the Bad Girls played by Danielle Brooks, Natasha Lyonne and Maria Bakalova. Paramount showed off its first footage from a new series, Starfleet Academy, which stars Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti. The show follows cadets as they go through training, with Hunter serving as chancellor of the academy. It will arrive in 2026, the 60th anniversary year of the original Star Trek series. Paramount+'s other Star Trek series, Strange New Worlds, also shared updates. The crew of the USS Enterprise are being turned into puppets for an upcoming Strange New Worlds episode, Paramount announced Saturday. The puppets will be created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Season 3, which follows the adventures of the Enterprise under the command of Capt. Christopher Pike, is being released on Paramount+. An estimated 135,000 people — many in costumes — are expected to attend Comic-Con 2025, which runs through Sunday in downtown San Diego. So far, fans have gotten previews of Five Nights at Freddy's 2, the upcoming FX series Alien: Earth and Predator: Badlands, which will be in theaters in November.

(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Actor Ryan Gosling appeared at San Diego Comic-Con to tease his upcoming spacefaring blockbuster 'Project Hail Mary', a science-fiction comedy based on author Andy Weir's 2021 novel of the same name, reported People. It took me places I've never been The movie stars Gosling as a middle school science teacher named Ryland Grace, tasked with travelling into space 11.9 light-years away to determine why dozens of stars and the sun are dying, risking the extinction of all life on Earth. "It took me places I've never been, it showed me things I had never seen," said Gosling of the film. "It was as heartbreaking as it was funny. ... This story is about a scared guy who has to do something impossible. Now, I was a scared guy who had to do something impossible, just trying to turn this into a movie," as per the outlet. Lord, Miller, Goddard, and Weir joined Gosling for the footage-filled Hall H panel, which was moderated by Josh Horowitz. The crowd was treated to the hilarious first five minutes of the film, depicting Gosling's Grace, whom he called "an ordinary person in this extraordinary situation", waking up from a cryogenic state. "You may have noticed he looks like a space caveman, in this placenta onesie," quipped the Barbie star. A placenta onesie, he added, is a costume "I hope to be seeing at Comic-Con one of these days," reported People. The makers of Ryan Gosling's highly anticipated film 'Project Hail Mary' released the trailer on June 30. The comedic sci-fi film from Amazon MGM Studios follows Gosling, whose character makes a leap from an unassuming teacher to an astronaut assigned to a perilous space mission. Ryan Gosling appears opposite Sandra Huller, who convinces Gosling's character to launch himself into space to save humanity. "It's an insanely ambitious story that's massive in scope, and it seemed really hard to make, and that's kind of our bag. This is why we go to the movies. And I'm not just saying it because I'm in it. I'm also saying it because I'm a producer on the film," Gosling said about the film at CinemaCon, as quoted by Variety. Ryan encounters an alien in the movie after he goes on a mission in space, as per the trailer. Based on the Andy Weir novel of the same name, the film was directed by 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Drew Goddard, who penned the film adaptation of Weir's 'The Martian,' wrote the script of the movie. Besides 'Barbie,' Gosling recently appeared in 'The Fall Guy.' He also played astronaut Neil Armstrong in 'First Man,' which saw him reunite with 'La La Land' filmmaker Damien Chazelle. 'Project Hail Mary', costarring Lionel Boyce, Milana Vayntrub and Ken Leung, is in theatres on March 20, 2026, reported People.
