Watch The Absolute Best Trailers From New York Comic Con
Which one are you most psyched for?
New York Comic Con has drawn to a close, but not without dropping a bunch of trailers and sneak peeks of some of the biggest movies and TV shows coming soon. Here, geek out on all the best upcoming superhero, sci-fi and fantasy trailers that debuted at the beloved annual nerdfest.
Aquaman (December 14th, 2018)
DC’s cinematic universe has fallen flat for fans lately so there’s a lot of pressure for the Aquaman flick to be more Wonder Woman and less Watchmen. This five minute trailer feels more like the former. If Aquaman hits and DC does right with the upcoming Joachin Phoenix Joker movie, DC could have the comeback they’ve been hoping for.
Overlord (November 9th, 2018)
It’s a horror movie with Nazi zombies that looks damn fun. It’s just a shame this one isn’t coming out in time for Halloween.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (December 14th, 2018)
This animated offshoot is bringing together lots of Spider-Man lore, a great looking style and a fantastic voice cast. If the name John Mulaney is unfamiliar, fix that. Fast.
The Mortal Engines (December 14th, 2018)
Peter Jackson’s latest epic adapts the novel about huge rolling cities to the silver screen. Expect a direct translation of the source material and a huge CGI budget as the guy behind the Lord of the Rings trilogy brings this one to life.
Dragon Ball Super: Broly (January 16th, 2019)

Reimagining Goku and Vegeta’s origin story, Broly is the highly anticipated Dragon Ball Super follow up movie that fans have been waiting for. It probably helps to have watched the hundreds of episodes of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super before going into this one.
Star Trek Discovery Season 2 (January 17th, 2019)
Get a first glimpse of Spock (with beard!) in this trailer. Trekkies and sci-fi fans are eager for more in the adventures of Star Fleet.

Deadly Class (January 16th, 2019)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72giXT-r5SU
Three haunting, modern retellings of classic fables, imagined as thrillers set in NYC make up this CBS original. High-concept and high-risk, there’s also high hopes that Tell Me a Story can bring some much needed shocks to the 2019 lineup.
Daredevil Season 3 (October 19th, 2018)
The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen gets a mysterious new plot that brings back characters like Kingpin and may even introduce some new masked faces into the continuing plot of everyone’s favorite Defender.
Titans (October 12th, 2018)
More TV from DC, this series snags the Teen Titans and puts them into a live-action scenario. There are some beloved characters to follow here and see if they make it into the wider DC movie universe.
