SAN DEIGO: Warner Brothers pulled back the curtain on its slate of upcoming blockbusters on Saturday at a star-studded presentation to thousands of die-hard San Diego Comic-Con fans.
The studio took over the fanfest for two hours, with Conan O’Brien as host, to premiere its hotly anticipated DC Comics movies and non-superhero offerings.
Stars onstage at the 6,500-seat Hall H included “Wonder Woman” lead Gal Gadot and Ben Affleck, who reprises his turn as Batman in “Justice League.”
A beat-boxing Will Smith was joined by Jared Leto, Margot Robbie and director David Ayer for “Suicide Squad.”
Next spring’s “Kong: Skull Island” was presented by Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson and John Goodman and there was a first look at Harry Potter spin-off “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” with Eddie Redmayne and Colin Farrell.
Warner’s first exclusive of the session was a sneak peek at “Wonder Woman,” which saw the Amazonian — alias Diana Prince — moving away from the lush island of Themyscira into modern civilization.
Near the start of the action-packed trailer soldier Steve Trevor, played by Chris Pine, asks Prince: “Have you never met a man before? But what about your father?“
“I had no father. I was brought to life by Zeus,” Wonder Woman replies.
The movie is scheduled to hit theaters on June 2, 2017.
“It’s an honor and a privilege,” a visibly trembling Gadot told the Comic-Con devotees about bringing the character to the big screen.
Superheroes may have dominated the day, but a first look at next year’s “Kong: Skull Island,” drew the loudest gasps from the Comic-Conners.
The movie, like previous incarnations, focuses on an expedition to Kong’s home island but this time is set in the 1970s. The trailer hinted at a distinctly military flavor to Jordan Vogt-Roberts’s take on Kong, offering a split-second first look at the giant ape after two minutes of helicopters and explosions.
