Hello, and welcome once again to the 2nd Annual San Diego Comic-Con Recap for the Blog Of Hell’s Kitchen. The plan is, just like last year, to show four things I wanted to be announced at SDCC 2018 and talked about in my Wish List article, and whether they were announced at SDCC 2018. With that, let’s get into it.
1. Aquaman Trailer
Odds I gave of appearing at SDCC 2018: 10/9
Odds I gave of debuting before the end of summer (e.i. before August 31st): 10/1
Did it debut at SDCC 2018? Yes.
The trailer from Aquaman did in fact debut at SDCC 2018, and it was kind of okay. We got some pretty good shots of Aquaman, Mera, Orm, and Black Manta, but not much else. It’s possible that DC is taking out the cool parts of the movie because they’re integral to the plot, or at least, that’s what I hope the deal is.
2. Shazam Trailer
Odds I gave of appearing at SDCC 2018: 4/1
Odds I gave of debuting alongside Aquaman in December: 4/3
Did it debut at SDCC 2018? Yes.
Fortunately, DC also released a trailer for Shazam as well, and contrary to Aquaman‘s trailer. The trailer showed a lot of really cool scenes like Captain Marvel throwing thieves through a window, learning how to fly, and doing the “Backpack Kid” dance, all backed up by a remix of Kendrick Lamar’s “HUMBLE.” This trailer was exactly what I’ve been looking for from DC, a light-hearted romp through the world of Detective Comics.
3. Hellboy Trailer
Odds I gave of appearing at SDCC 2018: 5/4
Odds I gave of debuting before the end of summer (e.i. before August 31st): 5/1
Did it debut at SDCC 2018? No.
Your Hellboy trailer is in another castle.
4. DCEU Date Announcements
Chance of no new DCEU release dates: 5/3
Chances of at least one DCEU movie getting a new release date: 5/1
Chances of between two and four new DCEU release dates: 20/3
Chance of five or more new DCEU release dates: 20/1
How many dates did they announce at SDCC 2018? One.
The one date that DC did announce was kind of surprising, and that was the date for the standalone Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix, which has been set to debut on October 4th, 2019. Which is kind of crazy, because they have yet to start shooting the movie and the release date is a little more than 14 months away.
Alright, guys, that has been my time, thank you so much for reading. Remember to come back next Friday for my Ant-Man And The Wasp review. Also, don’t forget, I am substituting this article for my Featured News for July 2018, so don’t expect a Featured News article on the first Monday of August. Alright, thanks again for reading, and remember, have a nerdy day.
