From highly-anticipated sequels like Top Gun: Maverick and Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, to the last hurrahs of shows like Arrow and Supernatural, there is certainly no shortage of trailers to consume this weekend. Luckily, we have them all together in one place. Read on to check them all out, and check back throughout the weekend as more trailers are released!
IT CHAPTER TWO
SDCC kicked off with a pretty terrifying bit of footage (and no, we’re not talking about the Cats trailer). Warner Bros. debuted the finalย trailer for IT CHAPTER TWO, the highly-anticipatedย second chapter in the adaptation of Stephen King’s epic novel.ย
The film will follow a grown-up version of the Losers’ Club, who are placed in a terrifying rematch with the evilย Pennywiseย the clown 27 years after their first attack.
IT CHAPTER TWOย will arrive in theaters on September 6th.
Jay and Silent Bob Reboot
Jay and Silent Bob Reboot might not be hitting the Hall H stage until Saturday, but Kevin Smith gave fans a pleasant surprise on Thursday with the film’s first trailer.
The cameo-filled film will see Jay and Silent Bob traversing the United States, in an attempt to prevent an ill-advised reboot of Bluntman and Chronic from becoming a reality.
Jay and Silent Bob Reboot will arrive in theaters on October 15th.
Top Gun: Maverick
Perhaps the biggest surprise from Thursday’s events was the (somewhat-surprise) arrival of Tom Cruise, who debuted the first look at Top Gun: Maverick during Paramount’s Terminator panel.
Set 34 years after the events of the original film, Maverick follows Cruise’s Peter Mitchell, who guides Goose’s son, Bradley (Miles Teller), through pilot training.
Top Gun: Maverick arrivesย in theaters 2020.
His Dark Materials
Game of Thrones may have come to an end, but HBO has quite a lot of epic fantasy storytelling on the way — including the long-awaited television adaptation of Phillip Pullman’sย His Dark Materials.
The seriesย follows an alternate reality in which humans go through life alongside a daemon, a physical manifestation of the human soul. The series follows a young orphan namedย Lyraย (Logan‘s Dafneย Keen), who discovers a dangerous secret that leads her down a mysterious rabbit hole.
His Dark Materials will debut on HBOย later this year.
Van Helsing
SYFY’s Van Helsingย is back — and it looks like it’s bringing quite a lot of spookiness along with it.ย
The series follows the story of Vanessa Van Helsing and her band of heroes as they fight to reclaim the world after vampires took over during ‘The Rising’. The series will delve deeper into the iconic lore of the vampires and their ultimate goals for this world. New villains will rise along with unexpected heroes joining the fight.
