Thanks to the pandemic and Stranger Things, Dungeons & Dragons is more popular than it’s been in years. It’s time for a new movie adaptation of the famous tabletop role-playing game, and Paramount is our dungeon master.
The studio released a new trailer for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves at San Diego Comic-Con. Check it out below:
Chris Pine is our wise-cracking hero de jour. Also, I’m getting Thor: Love and Thunder vibes from the classic rock score. You know what gets the kids into theaters these days according to studio executives? Led Zeppelin.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves comes out in March of next year.
Watch the trailer for the new Teen Wolf movie on Paramount+
Naturally, there are quite a few trailers coming out at SDCC. Another one is for the movie sequel to Teen Wolf, which wrapped up after six seasons in 2017. Tyler Posey (Scott McCall) and Tyler Hoechlin (Derek Hale) both return for the film, as does Crystal Reed (Allison Argent), who stopped being a series regular after season 3.
Watch the trailer below:
What’s more, after the trailer played, Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum Sarah Michelle Gellar came on stage to announce that she’ll play a lead role in the upcoming Teen Wolf spinoff series Wolf Pack. “I only came here because they told me they booked Hall H, and I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’ll do the show,’” she quipped.
Neither the show nor the movie have release dates set as of yet.
Watch the trailer for I Am Groot
Moving on, Disney released a teaser for I Am Groot, a collection of animated shorts starring the titular tree creature of few words from the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. Behold:
I Am Groot premieres on Disney+ on August 10.
Watch a teaser for National Treasure: Edge of Mystery
Finally, Disney released an oh-so-brief teaser for National Treasure: Edge Of Mystery, a new TV series about a young DREAMer named Jess Morales (Lisette Olivera) who investigates her family’s mysterious past and learns…I dunno, that she has to steal the Constitution or something; you know how those movies were.
Watch the teensy-tiny teaser below:
National Treasure: Edge Of Mystery also stars Catherine Zeta-Jones as a villainous black market antiquities dealer. Nicolas Cage, who anchored the National Treasure movies, is not in the series, and per The A.V. Club didn’t get mentioned on the SDCC panel until a fan asked about him. “We wanted him, but he was very busy,” answered producer Marianne Wibberley.
There’s no release date for this yet, either.
What other trailers will pop up during SDCC? Stay tuned.
