All the best, weirdest, and most exciting trailers from Comic-Con 2019

Comic-Con season is always a fun time for all of us nerds, especially if you’re one of those people who loves to watch trailers over and over again to hype yourself up for what’s coming soon. While this year didn’t bring anything new from Marvel besides a couple of whopping announcements (Thor 4!! Mahershala Ali is Blade!! Kumail Nanjiani is in Eternals!!) it left a lot of room for everything else. From the Skeksis to the Terminators to the great black expanse of space, San Diego Comic-Con 2019 boldly went to all the places we can’t wait to follow later this year, and we picked out the wildest and best trailers from the weekend for you to enjoy.The Dark Crystal: Age of ResistanceWhen Netflix announced it was doing a Dark Crystal sequel, the nostalgia fatigue hit an all-time high. The Dark Crystal is something so special, so singular and strange, how could anyone hope to recreate it now that visual effects tech is so far advanced? But, from what we can see in this first look at Age of Resistance, from co-creators Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews (who also co-wrote the show with Javier Grillo-Marxuach), this series hews much closer to the original, leaning heavily on the puppetry and practical sets and effects that made the first movie so good.Terminator: Dark FateThe future of the Terminator franchise has looked extra bleak in recent years, but it seems like Terminator: Dark Fate, which will bring back both Arnie and Linda Hamilton as well as introduce a super-powered Mackenzie Davis into the mix, returns the series to its gritty, gut-punchy roots. As James Cameron says in this featurette, Dark Fate comes, “tonally,” after T2, so it’s ok if we choose to conveniently forget that Salvation and (cringe) Genisys ever happened.Top Gun:MaverickAgain, sequel fatigue, and again, as soon as the trailer hits, I’m 100 per cent onboard. Maverick is back!! He’s in the plane!! He’s doing all kinds of crazy s***!! Where can I buy a million tickets please????Westworld (Season 3)The robots have escaped Westworld, and those whose minds haven’t been uploaded into the Cloud or whatever face a new challenge: Reality World. And… Naziworld? World War II World? Cool! All the bots not still trapped in theme park hell have been set loose on the real world of the far future, and if the humans catch them, they’ll be decommissioned before they can say “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.” Good thing Dolores has Aaron Paul on her side! Though, this is Westworld, so it’s very difficult to say whose side anyone is really on.Star Trek: PicardWith Star Trek: Discovery, the world of Trek ventured into the past, telling the story of the Klingon war and the events that transpired afterwards. With Picard, the franchise is going forward again, picking up with former Captain Jean-Luc Picard as he is called into service once again to protect humanity from an unknown menace. This trailer is a genuine adrenaline rush for anyone for whom Star Trek was and is a big part of their lives. Seeing Patrick Stewart don that Starfleet pin once more stirs something inside of you. The Borg are back! (Scary!) The return of Seven of Nine! (Exciting!) Picard has a nice dog! (Cute!) Data, chopped into bits and kept prisoner in a drawer! (Troubling!) Look at that happy glint in his eye when Stewart says “Engage!” We genuinely can’t wait to see this. CBS All Access also debuted a teaser for Short Treks, a series of six short episodes that each tell contained stories, one of which will lead into their new Picard series.Carnival RowAmazon Prime’s Carnival Row might secretly be the most deranged thing to happen this year. A weird urban fantasy starring Orlando Bloom playing a rejected extra from Peaky Blinders and Cara Delevigne playing a tall Irish fairy set inside a town where humans and magical creatures exist side by side??? Excuse me?? David Ayer who??? Comic-Con released two “prologue” teasers that still don’t explain anything that’s going on, but you bet I’m going to watch this as soon as it drops. This is also the first fantasy series for grownups Prime has released, so we’ll see how well it bodes for their huge upcoming Lord of the Rings project.– Courtesy: Thrillist
