rings-of-power-at-SDCC-12Hosting the show’s panel on Friday was Stephen Colbert, which many may know is a J.R.R. Tolkien superfan, even making a brief appearance in one of The Hobbit installments.

Series creators JD Payne and Patrick McKay and cast members on hand to give Hall H’s 6,500-strong fans the latest look at the series and discuss the Lord of the Rings prequel.

“If we are going to tell 50 hours of story, we want to make it worth it. We wanted to find a huge, Tolkien-ian mega-epic. Amazon were wonderfully crazy enough to say, ‘Yes, let’s do that.’” said Payne.

Cast members that took the stage first were Robert Aramayo (Endor), Benjamin Walker (Gil-galad), Charles Edwards (Celebrimbor), Owain Arthur (Prince Durin IV), and Sophie Nomvete (Princess Disa), who talked about their experiences in being part of the show.

Shortly after, the second group of actors arrived, including smael Cruz Córdova (Arondir), Nazanin Boniadi (Bronwyn), Tyrone Muhafidin (Theo), Markella Kavenagh (Nori), Megan Richard (Poppy), Dylan Smith (Largo), Sara Zwangobani (Marigold), and Daniel Weyman (The Stranger).

Among the stunning clips shown were that of The Stranger (Daniel Weyman), who were found near the Harfoots’ home after a comet crashes and creates a crater.

Also presented before the panel was something many didn’t expect, which I have to say, was one of the most exciting moments at SDCC this year. Bear McCeary, who composed the score for the series, as well as an orchestra which performed some of the music from the show. The composer opened the panel with a live performance.

The LOTR prequel is set to debut Sept. 2 on Amazon Prime.

Teen Wolf The Movie At San Diego Comic-Con

By Armando

Cast members of Teen Wolf The Movie, Tyler Posey and Tyler Hoechlin along with showrunner Jeff Davis were in SDCC’s Hall H Thursday, an all-around great day for Teen Wolf fans on Thursday, revealing a teaser trailer for the Paramount+ film.

The trio promoted the upcoming release of supernatural thriller teen drama to Paramount+. As the synopsis says, the wolves are howling once again in Teen Wolf: The Movie as a terrifying ancient evil emerges in Beacon Hills. Scott McCall, no longer a teenager yet still an Alpha, must gather new allies and reunite trusted friends to fight back against this powerful and deadly enemy.

Tyler Posey had wanted to bring the show back saying, “It just feels serendipitous that the show is back right now. We took a long enough step away from it to really appreciate it and miss it. The show consumed our lives for 10 years. And we were just constantly busy filming the show, and so I think we all needed a break.”

But it was the trailer showcase that brought the most excitement, especially seeing fan-favorite Crystal Reed on the trailer, to the delight of the crown in attendance. She was last seen on Season 3.

Before the panel wrapped, Sarah Michelle Geller made a surprise appearance and announced an upcoming P+ original series Wolf Pack, a Teen Wolf offshoot series on Paramount+. Gellar is set to star in and executive produce.

Teen Wolf the Movie is written and executive produced by Davis.

“I stopped trick-or-treating after I witnessed Michael Myers as he terrified horny teenagers in an Illinois suburb at the end of the seventies. My pals Gerry, Scott, and I figured after our 4/20 book it was on us to be like our hero John Carpenter and ruin trick-or-treating and Halloween once again. Suck it, my favorite holiday,” said Posehn.

It’s a scary time in America—and we’re not talking about the razors in the candy anymore. When you might get murdered in a mass shooting, the clowns, monsters, and other creatures that go bump in the night have a harder time doing their job. It’s a hilarious bummer at this year’s monster mash. Scotch McTiernan and Weed Thing return and readers are introduced to some new favorites.

Peggy Carter Wields The Shield In New Captain Carter #1 Trailer

Captain CarterCaptain Carter, the fan-favorite character recently featured in Marvel Studios’ What If reports for duty in her very own comic series next month! Prolific creator Jamie McKelvie, known for his defining work on characters like Captain Marvel and the Young Avengers, now uses his acclaimed talents to bring this Marvel super hero to the forefront of Marvel Comics canon, writing the series and designing the character’s brand-new look. McKelvie will be joined by rising star artist Marika Cresta, known for her recent work on STAR WARS: DOCTOR APHRA. The five-issue limited series will introduce this World War II hero in an adventure that will find Peggy Carter as a woman out of time, facing the reappearance of an old foe in modern day and deciding what she stands for as the wielder of the shield. Get your first look at the action in the all-new CAPTAIN CARTER trailer, featuring never-before-seen artwork.

“There’s a whole load of story meat in the premise that interests me,” McKelvie told SYFY WIRE. “It’s almost 80 years since the end of World War II. That’s a big difference to the 20 years Steve Rogers was in the ice in the original comics timeline. It’s a huge gap, and so much has changed since then. Even the decade since MCU Cap woke up has seen a lot of big shifts in the world. So that’s immediately exciting to me –– how do you deal with waking up in such a radically different world, with every anchor in your life long gone?”

CAPTAIN CARTER #1 hits stands on March 9.
