Ryan Gosling previews Project Hail Mary at Comic-Con with first look at alien bond
At San Diego Comic-Con 2025, Ryan Gosling presented early footage from Project Hail Mary, Amazon MGM's upcoming space survival epic based on the novel by Andy Weir. Gosling was joined by directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, screenwriter Drew Goddard, and Weir himself. The preview began with Gosling's character, Ryland Grace, waking from cryogenic sleep aboard a deserted spacecraft. Alone and disoriented, Grace's journey soon takes a dramatic turn when he encounters Rocky, a spider-like alien rendered through a blend of puppetry and digital animation. Their unlikely bond forms the emotional core of the film. Gosling, who also serves as a producer, spoke about his connection to the material, describing it as 'funny, heartbreaking, and hopeful.' He credited Weir's storytelling for blending emotion and science in a way that felt both personal and cinematic. The film also stars Sandra Hüller, Milana Vayntrub, Lionel Boyce, and Ken Leung. For Lord and Miller, Project Hail Mary marks their return to feature directing after more than a decade. The movie is slated for theatrical release on March 20, 2026, and aims to blend intelligent science fiction with deeply human storytelling.

I watched every new TV and movie trailer from SDCC 2025 — here's the 5 I'm most excited about
San Diego Comic-Con 2025 has officially wrapped, and with it came a flood of trailers, teasers, and first looks, some of which dropped during massive Hall H panels while others arrived quietly online throughout the weekend. From returning fan favorites to brand new adaptations, it's been a big few days for movie and TV reveals, and I've pulled together a roundup of the ones that were made publicly available during or alongside the event. I'd love to include the new 'Predator: Badlands' trailer and 'Alien: Earth' sneak peek in this list since they're among my most anticipated releases, but both actually dropped before the convention began. The official 'Badlands' trailer landed online just days ahead of its Hall H panel, and us 'Alien' fans were treated to a four-minute look earlier in the week. That said, both properties still had a presence at SDCC, with extended footage and episode screenings shown to those lucky enough to be in the room. Of all the trailers and reveals that dropped online during Comic-Con 2025, these are the five I'm most excited about (and don't worry, there's a full list below too). As a horror nerd, 'IT' is easily one of my favorite horror movies ever. So when I heard we were getting a prequel series, 'Welcome to Derry' was instantly added to my must-watch list. Set in 1962, the show dives into the sinister roots of Derry, Maine, exploring the eerie events that paved the way for Pennywise's origin story. Director Andy Muschietti, who helmed both movies, said he was 'exhausted but excited' after finishing them, and had always dreamt of telling the story of how the demonic clown came to be. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The series pulls from historical horrors teased in King's novel and referenced in the movies, including the Black Spot juke joint fire, the Kitchener Ironworks explosion, and the Bradley Gang massacre. Bill Skarsgård reprises his iconic role, alongside Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, and James Remar. At SDCC, fans got to see the first ten minutes of the premiere episode. Muschietti teased: 'We got away with a lot, and that's the stuff you'll be excited about.' I'm absolutely ready for the creepy clown with the red balloon to haunt my dreams all over again. Starts streaming on HBO Max in October 2025 Another Stephen King story coming to life? I'm in. 'The Long Walk' has always been one of the more disturbing King concepts to me, so I'm glad it's finally getting the big screen treatment. Directed by Francis Lawrence, the movie adapts one of King's earliest and bleakest novels. Given his experience with the dystopian vibe of 'The Hunger Games,' I trust he'll handle this adaptation with the right amount of intensity. The story centers on fifty teenage boys forced into a brutal contest: they must keep up a pace of four miles per hour without slowing down. If a walker falls below that speed for more than 30 seconds, they get a warning, and three warnings means execution. Hall H got the new trailer and a sneak peek at a scene so graphic they had to black out parts mid-screening. The footage also showed more of Mark Hamill as the cold, authoritarian Major overseeing the event. The young cast, including Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, and Garrett Wareing, seem to be bringing some serious energy. Saying I'm excited is an understatement. The first 'Five Nights at Freddy's' movie unfortunately didn't win over critics, but it was a massive hit with fans (including me). It's exciting to see the story continue and for the franchise to get another shot at delivering that signature animatronic horror. Directed once again by Emma Tammi and written by game creator Scott Cawthon, 'Five Nights at Freddy's 2' picks up a year after the events of the first movie. The town has turned the terrifying events into a campy legend, hosting its first 'Fazfest.' But when young Abby (Piper Rubio) secretly returns to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza to reconnect with the animatronics, things go horribly wrong. The newly revealed trailer shows the return of Josh Hutcherson as Mike, Elizabeth Lail as Vanessa, and Matthew Lillard as William Afton in a prequel storyline. New additions include Freddy Carter, Wayne Knight, McKenna Grace, and Skeet Ulrich. Thankfully, this time around, we're diving deeper into the lore of the haunted animatronics (one of the biggest reasons the games are so beloved), including the introduction of more polished versions of the original crew, plus The Puppet. One thing I loved most about 'Gen V' is how it took the extremely wild vibe of 'The Boys' and mixed it with the chaos of college life. So safe to say I was definitely excited when season 2 got announced. The new trailer looks even crazier with more drama and twists than before. The story picks up after 'The Boys' season 4, following Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair), Emma Meyer (Lizze Broadway), and Jordan Li (London Thor and Derek Luh) as they return to Godolkin University, now led by the enigmatic Dean Cipher (Hamish Linklater). The trio struggles with past trauma while uncovering a sinister program called 'Project Odessa,' linked to the university's founder, Thomas Godolkin (Ethan Slater). Showrunner Michele Fazekas said the shows 'talk to each other,' with 'The Boys' season 4 setting up 'Gen V' season 2. Now that Homelander has taken over America, we get to see what that looks like for the country, the school, and the start of the resistance. Plus, we get some awesome cameos from the main 'Boys' cast, like Erin Moriarty's Starlight and Nathan Mitchell's Black Noir, which ties it all together nicely. Stream the first 3 episodes on Prime Video from September 17, 2025 As a longtime fan of Rick Riordan's books, seeing 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' finally get the faithful adaptation it deserves was a dream come true. We've had the movies before, but the series really captures the spirit, heart, and adventure of the original story. I've got high hopes that season 2 will do the same for The Sea of Monsters. This time, the story picks up a year after the first season, with Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell) returning to camp — only to find it under threat from Kronos's forces. To save it, and his friend Grover (Aryan Simhadri), Percy and his friends set off on a dangerous quest into the Sea of Monsters to retrieve the Golden Fleece. The new trailer teases even more mythological mayhem: chariot races, sea beasts, and the introduction of Percy's cyclops half-brother, Tyson (Daniel Diemer). With familiar faces like Scobell, Simhadri, and Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth back, and some exciting new additions to the cast, it looks like another epic chapter is on the way. Stream it on Disney Plus starting December 10, 2025

'Reacher' star Sonya Cassidy joins Star Trek audio drama as Dr Rosalind Lear
Sonya Cassidy, known for her role in Reacher season 3, is set to join the Star Trek franchise in a new audio drama titled Star Trek: Khan. The announcement was made at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, where it was confirmed that Cassidy will voice the character Dr Rosalind Lear, a historian who uncovers the lost logs of the character Khan Noonien Singh. The series, which will be available on major podcast platforms, marks a departure from visual storytelling and will instead use a scripted audio format. The character of Khan will be voiced by Naveen Andrews, widely recognised for his work on Lost. Star Trek: Khan is set before the events of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, focusing on Khan's period of exile. The story is original and not an adaptation of previously released Star Trek content. The series will launch on September 8 2025, aligning with Star Trek Day, which commemorates the original series' first broadcast in 1966. A trailer was also released, offering illustrated visuals of the characters, as the format does not include live-action performances.

Comic-Con 2025 wraps up in San Diego
Comic-Con 2025 wraps up in San Diego Cosplay fans gather at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, which ran from July 24-27 at the San Diego Convention Center. Photo: RTHK RTHK's San Francisco correspondent Mark Niu reports from Comic-Con One of the world's largest conventions on pop culture wrapped up on Sunday in the US city of San Diego. The Comic-Con International 2025 brought out the stars and plenty of costumes. An estimated 150,000 people filled the convention halls to celebrate their favourite comic books, TV shows, games, and movies. Hollywood actor and wrestler John Cena put in an appearance to discuss the upcoming season of his superhero series The Peacemaker. 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. The crowd saw scenes from Season 2, which arrives in August and sees Cena entering another dimension where he gets to be a cool version of the hero instead of the often pained version that's typical of the character. Some characters from Superman will make appearances. Over the weekend, the cast of Bad Guys 2 teased new footage from the movie and described how they recorded their characters. Marc Maron, who plays Snake, joked that 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. Fans also got sneak previews of Five Nights at Freddy's 2, the upcoming FX series Alien: Earth and Predator: Badlands, which will be in theatres in November. Creating every bit as much excitement among fans was the Chinese company Pop Mart, selling the latest version of the hugely-popular Labubu dolls. Kathy Rheinhardt says she had to sign up for an online lottery several weeks ago to book an appointment, then show up at a time slot to stand in a queue that appeared to have at least 100 people. 'I want the pink one and the purple one. They're blind boxes, so you don't know what you get till you open it, but it makes it exciting", she said. Among the vendors on the floor were also mom-and-pop-style stalls, such as Artistic Flavorz owned by Filippina-American Joanne Zamudio. Customers there could get colorful T-shirts, stickers, and unique enamel pins, including one in the form of an Ube ice cream bin that opens to reveal chicken adobo stored inside. 75 percent of Artistic Flavorz' products are manufactured in China and therefore being hit by US tariffs. 'It is more difficult because we have to pay an extra on top of that without raising our prices, because we don't feel like we should, you know, affect what our consumer has to pay just because we have to pay more. So we're kind of just like biting the bullet right now,' said Joanne Zamudio, co-owner of Artistic Flavorz. Another important section to visit was the famed Artists Alley, where hundreds of artists - drawing everything from SpiderMan to Star Wars - sell their personal works. But these days artists like Salvador Velazquez from Mexico said they were concerned about the growing threat of generative AI. 'Anyone can paint just with this right amount of time dedicated to it. And with generative AI, you don't get that. You may get, a nice shot of any picture, but it's stolen and you lose yourself the whole experience of creating it yourself,' said Velazquez.
