IT’S DC TIME WOOO!

Aquaman, Shazam and Wonder Woman flashing across the screen. WW gets the biggest screams, like she deserves.

Wonder Woman 1984 is up first. Gal Gadot, Chris Pine and director Patty Jenkins take the stage. Chris Pine being back is a BIG part of the movie.

Patty is asked “why 1984?”

Patty grew up in the 80’s, lots of things set in the 80’s. A very different look and feel. It was mankind at its best and worst. There was a lot of elegant and beautiful things, at the same time that we’re revealing the worst. Diana gets to see us at our most extreme. Peak of Cold War and nuclearization. And we thought it would go on forever, so it’s an interesting time.

They are a mere 3 1/2 weeks into production but they really wanted to give something back to us. So, they’re going to show us something super rough. Just to give us a tease.

Wonder Woman lands in the mall in full costume, with a little girl saying oh my gosh as Wonder Woman tosses her into a plush bear while apprehending two gunmen and crushing their guns. She hips her lasso around them runs the other direction and less off the platform to the level below. Then she runs down the street in full dash mode in full costume. Clip ends. Short, sweet and totally wicked.

Patty: the thing i love about Wonder Woman — she is us, more than most superheroes. People find the Wonder Woman within them, no matter what. Staying true to that original Marsten Wonder Woman, who was so powerful yet warm, that is what I care about when I’m making the movie.

Gal Gadot says the film is more of a standalone story than a direct sequel to the first Wonder Woman.

Patty chimes in, “I never want to do anything for the wrong reason. I want to make great movies in my lifetime. And we can make a whole new movie, that’s as strong and unique as the first. It’s not more of anything, it’s its own thing.”

IT’S TIME FOR SHAZAM!

The logo on the screen. Aisha Tyler bringing out Zachary Levi, who has a beer with him that he says was given to him by Jason Momoa.

Levi says this is complete wish fulfillment. This is 14 year old me that got to put on a cape and fly. This whole movie is about wish fulfillment.

HOLY SHAZAM! TRAILER!

The rest of the cast is out!

Director David Sandberg auditioned over a 100 people. But when they saw Zach, they realized it was perfect. He was so enthusiastic about everything, and that’s what’s so childlike about him.

Levi thinks that Shazam/Captain Marvel could go toe to toe with Superman. PLEASE PUT HENRY CAVIL IN THIS FILM.

“What’s it feel like to play such a childish superhero?”

Levi says “Like going home. I think that there are very few characters that are just super stoked to have powers and the responsibility with those and I love that. I got to be a genuine part of myself for this role. I love that I get to be that child. That there’s still an optimism in him. That’s why the Wizard picks him — because of his heart.”

Levi continues: “There are very few characters that are just super stoked to have powers and to have that kind of responsibility. Billy Batson, Peter Parker, they are jazzed that they can fly. And I got to be a genuine part of myself.”

AW YEA TIME FOR AQUAMAN!!!

Screens are dark. Sound of rushing water. Water overflows to reveal Aquaman logo, Jason comes out on stage! And now the rest of the cast… FLUSHES… into Hall H. Water puns… aren’t they great?

Director James Wan says, “I wanted to create a superhero film that we’ve never quite seen before. I wanted our film to be more unique. So my movie plays more like a science fiction fantasy film than a traditional super hero movie.”

Black Manta himself Yahya Abdul Mateen II reveals he didn’t know how to swim when he initially got cast, and so had to teach himself. He was then told that the shoot required no swimming on his part. Lots of laughter from the audience.

THE AQUAMAN TRAILER IS BEING SCREENED THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

HERE IT IS!

THE FIRST TRAILER FOR #AQUAMAN IS HERE! In theaters December 21. pic.twitter.com/D878cT21Cu — Talkies Network (@TalkiesNetwork) July 21, 2018

So the whole crowd went nuts from that footage. Rightfully so of course.

Patrick Wilson (King Orm) on James Wan: “He put such attention to detail and character, so I knew he’d do such a good job with this.”

Some guy just tried to pitch James Wan on an Aqualad movie during the Q&A portion. Awesome.

More footage was shown: Mera and Arthur looking for the Trident. We get to see Mera use her powers — she uses Arthur’s sweat to unlock an ancient seal to get the trident. More Atlantis scenes. The underwater scenes look gorgeous. The scope of this is undoubtedly epic. All the different kingdoms on full display. Sharks and alligators being ridden. Nicole Kidman as Queen Atlanna gets an action scene of her own.

WOAH THE FOOTAGE SHOWS JASON MOMOA IN HIS FULL LEGACY AQUAMAN SUIT.

Oh and by the way, it was mentioned earlier that WB has officially named this iteration of DC films as “THE WORLD OF DC.” Say goodbye to the DCEU.

Well, that’s it. Sorry to everyone who were hoping for a MAN OF STEEL 2 announcement but it is safe to say that Warner Bros. absolutely crushed it this year. Thanks for coming along with me today and keep it locked on Talkies Network for more on San Diego Comic-Con 2018!
