A teaser of Warner Bros' upcoming superhero
films shown to the 6,500 attendees at the panel gave a glimpse
of "Wonder Woman II," a presumed sequel to June's "Wonder Woman"
movie that is on track this weekend to become the second-highest
grossing movie of 2017.
No further details were revealed about "Wonder Woman II," but
star Gal Gadot joined Ben Affleck (Batman), Ezra Miller (Flash),
Ray Fisher (Cyborg) and Jason Momoa (Aquaman), to present the
latest trailer for November's "Justice League" movie, which will
unite the DC superheroes.
Affleck said he was "the luckiest guy in the world" and "so
thrilled" to play the caped crusader, dispelling trade
publication The Hollywood Reporter's report this week that his
future as Batman was uncertain.
The latest trailer picks up after the death of Superman from
last year's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," and shows
Batman and Wonder Woman joined by the Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman
to fight supervillain Steppenwolf.
Wonder Woman says "They said age of heroes would never come
again," as Batman tells her, "it has to."
"All of these characters are dealing with personal issues and
they come together and are able to use those circumstances to
save the world, which is beautiful," Fisher said.
In his excitement after watching the new trailer, the
muscle-bound Momoa threw his chair across the stage, breaking it
and briefly sitting on the floor.
Momoa also debuted the first look at the standalone "Aquaman"
movie, and revealed the aquatic superhero will be battling his
brother, the supervillain Ocean Master, in the film due out next
year.
The avid fan base at Comic-Con, a gathering of pop and nerd
culture fans, were also shown footage of Warner Bros' upcoming
sci-fi films "Ready Player One" and "Blade Runner 2049."
Veteran filmmaker Steven Spielberg is directing "Ready Player
One," out next year and adapted from the book of the same name,
about a near-future dystopian America where people escape real
life into a virtual reality world void of limits.
Spielberg said the film is a "flashback to a decade I was very
involved in, the 1980s, and flash forward to a future waiting
out there for us whether we like it or not."
