San Diego Comic-Con 2019: all the trailers and updates from fandom’s biggest party – The Verge

Comic-Con 2019 trailer round-up: The Expanse, Star Trek, Westworld, and more

2019-07-21T16:00:00-04:00

San Diego Comic-Con wraps up today, and with it came a huge number of trailers for films and shows coming out in the next year. While Marvel undoubtably stole the show with its big Hall H announcements, the event's trailers belonged almost entirely to the world of television.

There were some other conspicuous absences: CBS didn't …

TBS’ Snowpiercer trailer teases a return to what made the original film great

2019-07-21T11:06:35-04:00

It's clear from the first trailer for Snowpiercer that TBS wants more people to pay witness to the world Korean director Bong Joon-Ho's created with his acclaimed 2014 film of the same name.

Based on a French graphic novel, Bong's original film is set in a post-apocalyptic future in which an attempt at changing the Earth's climate went disastrously wrong, leaving the planet covered in a global ice age, and with the last remnants of humanity living on a massive train. TBS' Snowpiercer will pick up seven years after the events of the original film. Not much has changed. The titular train driving the remaining members of Earth in a post-apocal …

2019-07-21T10:06:15-04:00

Endgame, the culmination of a 22-movie arc started by Marvel in 2008, will officially surpass Avatar as the highest grossing movie of all time either today or tomorrow. There is an approximate $500,000 difference between Endgame and Avatar, which analysts predict will close within a day. It's why Feige could make the announcement he did at Comic-Con.

"Thanks to you, Avengers: Endgame …
