DC’s Wonder Woman 1984 Trailer Debut Date Revealed

Fans have been waiting a long time to see the first trailer for Wonder Woman 1984, and now we know when the wait will end.

WB announced that the first trailer for the upcoming sequel will debut at the Comic Con Experience in São Paulo, Brazil on Sunday, December 8. The trailer will premiere during a presentation in CCXP’s Thunder Hall and presumably go live online shortly after.

According to WB’s press release, the panel will also be live-streamed on Twitter via @WonderWomanFilm. Both director Patty Jenkins and star Gal Gadot will attend the panel and participate in a Q&A session. WB also teases “other big surprises” at the panel.

We haven’t seen much of Wonder Woman 1984 since the film’s release date was delayed until June 2020. A small amount of footage was screened exclusively at CinemaCon in April 2019, and we recently got our first look at Wonder Woman’s new costume in a colorful poster.

Every Star Who’s Weighed in on the Marvel’s Not Cinema Debate

“That’s not cinema.” “Fun and good.” “Despicable.” “Beautiful.”

Those are just four filmmakers describing Marvel movies. Ever since Martin Scorsese said Marvel movies are “not cinema,” a few superhero filmmakers jumped to the franchise’s defense on social media. And now, every time a Marvel actor or filmmaker goes out in public, they get asked the question of the day: Are Marvel movies cinema?

Let’s track what all the big Hollywood players have said about the matter since this debate began. Click through the slideshow below or read on!

The Best Video Game Trailers Of All Time

The video game industry is built on money and hype, and video game trailers are the perfect mix of both. But considering just how many we get bombarded with every year, it takes a truly special one to stand out from the crowd. Here’s our list of the cream of the crop – the best video game trailers ever.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Reveal Trailer, E3 2000

The first trailer for Metal Gear Solid 2, shown at E3 in 2000, is almost single-handedly responsible for that little boast we see in so many AAA trailers today: made entirely from in-game footage. Kojima and his team wanted to show off exactly what we were in for when stepping back into Snake’s (assumedly really soft) sneaking boots and managed to do just that. Not only did we get a first look at one of the most anticipated games of all time, we got to see nine whole minutes of cutscenes and gameplay that featured (for its time) some of the most advanced AI, environmental interaction, and stealth-combat mechanics we’d ever seen. Sure there was that whole “you’re not actually gonna play as Snake for like 70% of the game” twist, but that didn’t come until later. – Jon Ryan, Senior Editor

Amazing Spider-Man Is Looking Better Than Ever

Marel and DC may not be as aggressive as they once were about locking up big-name creators under exclusivity agreements, but the news that Patrick Gleason has jumped to Marvel after a long tenure at DC was definitely significant. And one need look no farther than The Amazing Spider-Man #32 to see why. This is easily the most visually stunning issue of ASM since Stuart Immonen was still drawing the series. Clearly, Spider-Man and his world can only benefit from having this new artistic weapon in the artillery.

It helps that Gleason makes his debut in a story that caters so directly to his storytelling abilities. Issue #32 kicks off a new storyline featuring the return of Spider-Man 2099 and a new conflict between the present and future. The specifics of that conflict aren’t well established, but for now it’s enough simply to savor the return of Miguel O’Hara and the futuristic visuals that come along with him.

Sony Goes No Russian And Pulls Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare From The PlayStation Store In Russia

GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is out this Friday on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, but those in Russia won’t be able to purchase the latest big-budget blockbuster on the PlayStation Store, Activision has said.

Despite being available digitally on both Xbox One and PC, Sony has decided to delist the game on Russia’s PlayStation Store. A tweet from the Sony Russia Twitter account broke the news, and Activision has since issued a statement to Eurogamer confirming Sony’s decision to remove the first-person shooter from sale.

“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a fictional game that has been thoughtfully created to entertain fans and tell a compelling narrative,” Activision’s statement says. “Sony Interactive Entertainment has decided not to sell Modern Warfare on the PlayStation Store in Russia at this time. We look forward to launching Modern Warfare digitally in Russia on 25 October on PC via Battle.net and on console via Xbox.”

Sony has yet to give its own reason, and all digital pre-orders have been cancelled, though, presumably, physical copies will still make their way to store shelves as planned.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a soft reboot for the franchise, but it harkens back to earlier entries in the series by painting Russians as cold-war era villains. Activision’s blog says to “expect no compromises as Modern Warfare takes you on an engaging narrative, featuring military operations across the globe, where morality is sure to be tested.”

Farah Ahmed Karim is one of the key characters in Modern Warfare’s story, with her tale beginning 20 years before the rest of the game’s events as Russian soldiers kill her parents in a harrowing attack on the fictional Middle-Eastern country of Urzikstan. Now she’s the leader of the Urzikstan Liberation Force, “labeled a terrorist organization by the Russian government for their long-standing resistance, Russian soldiers are ordered to make no distinction between the terror group Al-Qatala and the liberation fighters under Farah’s command. AQ terrorists pursue Farah and the ULF with a mandate to kill.”

Call of Duty is no stranger to Russian villains so it’s odd for Sony to pull one of the biggest games of the year from sale a few days before its release, especially when other platforms have no qualms releasing it digitally in the country.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare launches on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC this Friday, October 25.
