After last year’s (understandably) lacklustre showing, it felt like San Diego Comic-Con roared back to life in 2022. Although the con was certainly bolstered by Marvel Studios’ return and its decision to announce basically everything, so many trailers, announcements, and more were revealed over the last four days.
So, for your convenience, we’ve gathered all of the movie, TV, comics and animation news in one helpful location. (It’s here, the location is here).
SDCC 2022: Movies
It’s still unbelievable that Marvel announced its Phase 5 and Phase 6 movie schedules, but our favourite moment has to be the incredibly moving Black Panther: Wakanda Forever trailer. But we were also pleasantly surprised by our first look at Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves as well! Meanwhile, many of Warner Bros. DC Extended Universe movies were MIA.
