San Diego Comic-Con 2025will be missing some of its major players from the past, but it’s still positively loaded with the latest trailers and details from some of the biggest movie and TV releases coming in the next calendar year. While typical stalwarts Marvel and DC won’t have a major cinematic presence or presentation, many of Hollywood’s biggest players are still on the docket for July 24th-27th.
In fact, it seems as though the major studios who will have a presence are taking advantage of a year that won’t have a splashy headline-grabber like Marvel’s Robert Downey, Jr. Dr. Doom casting to promote some of their smaller properties. With the spotlight available, it seems like there will be more trailer releases, footage reveals,Lego set unveilings, and guerrilla marketing than we typically see.
San Diego Comic-Con’s Hall H panelswill still be the highlights of the convention, despite Sony, Warner Bros., and Paramount all skipping the event this year. Disney, HBO, Lionsgate, 20th Century Studios, and evenComic-Con first-timer George Lucaswill all be there to promote projects likePredator: Badlands,Percy Jackson and the Olympians,Five Nights at Freddy’s 2,Alien: Earth, and more.
Some of the most exciting trailers that will be shown at Comic-Con have already hit the internet, sparking plenty of conversation before the event even got underway. Check back here as Comic-Con unfolds, asScreen Rantkeeps you updated on the latest trailers, merchandise, and breaking news from the biggest panels.
1Predator: Badlands
The Latest Entry In The Iconic Sci-Fi Action Franchise
Excitement around the seventh film in the mainPredatorfranchise continuity is already sky-high thanks to the reveal that it exists in the same universe as the reinvigoratedAlienfranchise. Hot on the heels of the highly-acclaimed animated anthology movie Predator: Killer of Killers,Predator: Badlandswill introduce a new concept to the franchise: a Predator as the protagonist.
Starring Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi as the outcast Dek and Elle Fanning as the (top half of) Thia, the Weyland-Yutani android that he teams up with,Predator: Badlandswill follow a young Predator on his first hunt on what is labeled as “the most dangerous planet in the universe.”
Director Dan Trachtenberg appeared at the Hall H panel alongside Fanning and Schuster-Koloamatangi, and along with discussing some of the process behindPredator: Badlands, he revealed that an addition to thePredator: Killer of Killerspost-credits scene featuring Naru fromPreywill be streamable on Hulu at 7PM PST/10PM EST, which features the franchise’s other Predator-killers Dutch and Mike Harrigan.
2Alien: Earth
The FX And Hulu TV Series Will Take The Xenomorphs Where They’ve Never Gone Before
The success ofAlien: RomulusandPreyreignited public interest in the dueling sci-fi monster franchises from the 1980s, and certainly in the seemingly inevitable cross-over between the two.Alien: Earthis the next step forward, and in addition to being thefirst TV show in theAlienfranchise, it will depict the first occasion a Xenomorph has touched down on Earth.
While series showrunner Noah Hawley has been up front that the series may not be religious to all the established lore of the franchise, particularly the ancient origins laid out inPrometheus, we can expect plenty of existential dread and viscera as a band of survivors attempt to contain not only a Xenomorph, but several other ultra-deadly creatures from around the universe.
Hawley, executive producer David W. Zucker, and the show’s cast previewed the first episode of the show at Hall H. Hawley also specifically mentioned that there is no plan for the show to cross over with thePredatorfranchise, but that certainly seems like it can be taken with a grain of salt.
3The Toxic Avenger
The Remake Of The Cult Classic Splatter Film Stars Peter Dinklage Atop A Shockingly Loaded Cast
The box office viability of ultra-gory horror movies likeTerrifier 3andThe Monkeyhas helped get movies like the remake ofThe Toxic Avengergreenlit, and the genre is better for it. The unrated reboot of the former franchise of the same name debuted at Fantastic Fest way back in 2023, but ahead of its August 2025 wide release the movie has captured a Thursday night Hall H panel.
Starring Emmy Award-winning Peter Dinklage as the eponymous mutant hero,The Toxic Avengerchronicles the exploits of a former janitor who is mutated into a mop-wielding vigilante who fights crime and corruption in exceptionally bloody fashion. The panel will feature writer/director Macon Blair and the incredible cast, which includes Kevin Bacon, Elijah Wood, Jacob Tremblay, and Julia Davis alongside Dinklage.
4Tron: Ares
The Third Installment In The Long-Running Cult-Turned-Mainstream Franchise
Disney resurrected theTronfranchise withTron: Legacyin 2010, and it was a modest success at the box office. On a massive budget of $170 million, it made back $409.4 million, with the bulk of the profit coming from the overseas market. It was enough to inspire Disney to move ahead withTron: Ares, which will act as a soft reboot instead of a direct sequel toTron: Legacy.
Tron: Aresalso has a Hall H spot this year, although it remains to be seen what that entails. The movie will flash forward into the future where the lines between virtual reality and physical reality are muddled, and an intelligent program named Ares (Jared Leto) enters the real world as the first genuine A.I. entity.
5Five Nights At Freddy’s 2
The Sequel To 2023’s Box Office-Busting Video Game Adaptation
Emma Tammi’s adaptation of the popular video game franchiseFive Nights at Freddy’swas one of Blumhouse’s most profitable films of the last five years, as it grossed $297 million on a budget of just $20 million. Despite being widely panned by critics, the movie about a restaurant haunted by possessed animatronic characters seeking vengeance was more than profitable enough to earn a sequel.
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2will see the return of Josh Hutcherson and Elizabeth Lail in the main roles, alongside the returning Matthew Lillard and Piper Rubio. As it stands, theFive Nights at Freddy’s 2panel will feature appearances from Hutcherson, Lail, and Lillard, and they’ll most certainly show and discuss the trailer that was just released ahead of Comic-Con.
6Keeper
Neon’s Latest Movie From Longlegs And The Monkey Director Osgood Perkins
Osgood Perkins established himself as a name to watch with 2024’s box office and critical juggernautLonglegs, and his gore-splattered Stephen King adaptationThe Monkeyproved to be a solid, if unspectacular follow-up. His next movie,Keeper, is set to release on November 14th, 2025.
Only minor details about the supernatural horror movie’s plot have been revealed, and the teaser trailer, while intriguing, doesn’t provide much more insight. It will starThe Monkeystar Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland, and features a couple on an anniversary trip that are confronted by some sort of dark entity in a secluded cabin in the woods.
