While Marvel Studios has been keeping the details of their upcoming panel at San Diego Comic-Con a mystery, we do knowJames Gunnwill bringGuardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2andScottDerricksonwill repDoctor Strange. DC, on the other hand, has laid out their cards on the table.
Warner Bros. announced viapress releaseits full slate of films to be previewed at the forthcoming panel on Saturday. For the DC Comics films, that meansWonder WomanandSuicide Squad. ActorsGalGadot(Diana Prince) andConnie Nielsen(Queen Hippolyta) will accompany directorPatty Jenkinsto tout the former, while most of Task Force X —Will Smith(Deadshot),JaredLeto(Joker),Margot Robbie(Harley Quinn),JoelKinnaman(Rick Flag), Viola Davis (Amanda Waller),Jai Courtney(Captain Boomerang),Jay Hernandez(El Diablo),AdewaleAkinnuoye-Agbaje(Killer Croc),Scott Eastwood(a non-comics character Navy SEAL),CaraDelevingne(Enchantress),Adam Beach(Slipknot), andKaren Fukuhara(Katana) — will appear beside screenwriter-directorDavid Ayer.
Surprisingly,Justice Leagueis not on the list.Zack Snyderhas been busy filming the DC superhero team-up and had enough material toinvite press to the set. I suppose this could still be one of those special Hall H surprises, but don’t say we didn’t warn you.
DirectorChris McKayandWill Arnettwill also come out forThe LEGO Batman Movie, andCharlieHunnamandGuy Ritchiewill prove theirKing Arthurmovie (now subtitledLegend of the Sword) hasn’t been lost in the ether.
Elsewhere, the studio is bringing out the stars of two non-superhero blockbusters —Kong: Skull Islandand theHarry PotterprequelFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. As we previously reported,TomHiddlestonwill be there, but the press release confirmsBrie Larson,John Goodman,Corey Hawkins,Jason Mitchell, and directorJordan Vogt-Roberts.David Yateswill then shepherd outEddie Redmayne,Katherine Waterston,DanFogler,AlisonSudol,Ezra Miller, andColin Farrell.
Sadly, noJ.K. Rowling.
