It isn’t something that surprises us in any way but at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Warner Bros. officially announces that Wonder Woman 2 is happening and Gal Gadot will be reprising her role as Diana Prince a.k.a. Wonder Woman. The first film is considered the DC Extended Universe’s most profitable movie yet with it grossing around US$767.7 million worldwide since it hit theatres on June 2^nd. It quickly surpassed other DCEU films like Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Suicide Squad. It also broke records for director Patty Jenkins as the film became the highest-grossing live-action movie to be directed by a woman.

Speaking of Jenkins, Warner Bros. hasn’t announced yet if she’ll be coming back as her deal was for one movie. But she has spoken before about her plans for the sequel, where she wants to take Wonder Woman back to America. Here’s to hoping she gets to tell the tale again. No word on when the film might come out as well.

Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things’ gets Hall H panel at Comic-Con

Netflix hit Stranger Things is doing something no other original show from the streaming service has done: get a Hall H panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. The 6,000-seater Hall H is known to host the biggest shows and movies we geek over. But we aren’t surprised with this development as the buzz surrounding the show has been hot since it first came out and now a second season is debuting on Halloween. They’ll be having their panel at 3 p.m. on Saturday.

Other Netflix titles making a Hall H appearance will be the original films Bright by Suicide Squad director David Ayer and its Japanese manga adaptation of Death Note.

‘Sherlock’ enters into darker territory in new trailer

SDCC gives us one big trailer after another. This time, we hear news about Sherlock and a look at the new season, which is possibly the last for the show. The trailer is ominous and possibly the darkest one yet, as Amanda Abbington said at their Comic-Con panel. Abbington was joined by Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Gatiss, and show co-creator Steven Moffat. Maybe it’s Moriarty, maybe it isn’t. We can’t say. But it’s looking like it’s going to be another great season.

Here’s a better look at 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' from SDCC

Dan Fogler’s Jacob Kowalski echoed a sentiment we shared at the end of the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them trailer: “I want to be a wizard.” And just getting to see more of what the new J.K. Rowling film is all about gets us extra excited. Debuting at Hall H at the San Diego Comic-Con, Fantastic Beasts’s shows us Eddie Redmayne’s Newt Scamander smuggling magical creatures into the U.S. that somehow managed to escape. He wants to recapture them and keep them from “the most vicious creatures on the planet” a.k.a. humans. He enlists the help of Porpetina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston), a witch from the Magical Congress of the United States of America, and Kowalski. Of course, he’s being hunted by an intimidating and villainous-looking auror Percival Graves (Colin Farrell). There’s just a lot of things we’re excited for with Fantastic Beasts and we can’t wait for its release this November.
