ADVERTISEMENTComic-Con has ended but left us with lots of exciting cliffhangers and a steady stream of trailers in anticipation of what's heading to our big and small screens soon.
It's been two years since stars, cosplayers and hordes of fans have filled the San Diego Convention Centre because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the spectacular show skipped on this weekend without missing a beat.
From Marvel releases to an upcoming Dungeons and Dragons movie, here's a look at some of the biggest releases and surprise trail reveals from Comic-Con 2022.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
The first trailer for 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' - a sequel to 'Black Panther', the first comic book film to win a best picture Oscar nomination - was unveiled at the convention.
The teaser pays tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman, who played the main protagonist, King T’Challa in the first film.
Boseman, who died from cancer in 2020, appears on a mural in the trailer.
Returning director Ryan Coogler, who took to the San Diego stage with a colourful troupe of African drummers and dancers, paid an emotional tribute to the first film's star.
“The impact that he made on this industry will be felt forever,” Coogler said.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is set to release on 11 November.
Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
A first look at an upcoming Paramount film adaptation of the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons was unveiled.
Titled, "Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves", the movie features a star-studded cast, with the likes of Chris Pine, Hugh Grant, Michelle Rodriguez, Sophia Lillis and Regé-Jean Page.
Directed by the writers of 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' (John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein), the movie aims to bring the beloved world and playful spirit of the legendary board game to the big screen.
