Sinestro is back. So is Celeborn. And Gandalf? Well, he’s lurking in the background.
It is Friday at San Diego Comic-Con. The air smells like stale convention-center coffee and hype. While everyone holds their breath for Marvel’s Saturday Hall H presentation, the real drops happened today. Disney, Warner Bros., Prime Video — they all had something to show. You want the goods? Here is what is hitting screens in 2026, and why you should care.
HBO Max’s Lanterns trailer and release date
Remember that earth-bound teaser for Lanterns? It felt full. Kyle Chandler’s Hal Jordan doubting John Stewart. Desert conspiracy vibes. A flash of Guy Gardner. It was good, but safe.
Then came the Comic-Con trailer on Friday. Things got messy. Manhunters arrive. They want to take out the Lantern Corps. Sinestro shows up. The stakes just went interstellar. The series drops on HBO Max on August 16.
Why watch? Because this is DC trying to fix its live-action identity. And having John Stewart on screen? That matters.
Blade Runner 2099 setting and cast details
It has been years in the making. Finally, here is the scoop. Blade Runner 2099 hits Prime Video on November 25. It is an eight-episode limited series. A sequel to Blade Runner 2049, obviously.
Michelle Yeoh stars as Olwen. She is a replicant. In this version of Los Angeles, replicants run the show. Humans are second fiddle. Olwen chases outlaw replicants. Her shelf life is ticking down. Her partner? Cora (Hunter Schafer). A human fugitive. High stakes. Tight timeline.
The cast is stacked. Sheila Atim. Katelyn Rose Downey. Dimitri Abold. Daniel Rigby. If you liked the mood of 2049, this will scratch that itch. But ask yourself: are we ready for another dystopia?
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 3 premiere
The One Ring. It is always the One Ring.
Season 3 picks up five years after the last episode. Sauron is winning. He has expanded across most of Middle-earth. His war with the elves is raging. All he needs now is to forge that pesky Ring. To rule them all.
Jamie Campbell Bower joins as Celeborn. Galadriel’s husband. Noble warrior. Finally. The season also introduces Nazgûl (spelled Nazgnagôl in some early leaks). Ringwraiths. Corrupted. Scary. It debuts on Prime Video on November 11.
Will it be worth the wait? That is the question. But the production value remains undeniable.
Coyote vs. Acme movie plot and voice cast
Warner Bros. Discovery shelved this once. Ketchup Entertainment picked it up. Now it is happening. Coyote vs. Acme opens in theaters on August 28.
Wile E. Coyote is done. Acme’s products are unreliable. He hires a lawyer. Will Forte plays Kevin Avery. The attorney. John Cena plays Buddy Crane. Acme’s corporate counsel.
It is animation meets live-action. Lana Condor stars. The Looney Tunes gang appears. Porky Pig. Tweety. Foghorn Leghorn. Granny gets dinged by an anvil. Because of course she does.
It is absurd. It is chaotic. It sounds exactly like a Looney Tunes movie.
Percy Jackson season 3 gods and episode count
Season 3 is coming. Percy Jackson and the Olympians returns for an eight-episode run on November 20. Based on The Titan’s Curse.
New gods. New dangers. Aphrodite arrives, played by Kate McKinnon. The children of Hades show up. Percy and Annabeth hit the dance floor. Then things get dark. They rescue Artemis (Dafne Keen).
Who else? Atlas (Holt McCallany). Annabeth’s dad (Jesse L. Martin). Hera (Ming-Na Wen). Demeter (Jennifer Beals). Apollo (Hubert Smielecki).
It is a heavy lineup. Rick Riordan fans, mark the calendar.
Ebenezer movie cast and theatrical release
Johnny Depp showed up in costume. Scrooge. He plays Charles Dickens’ legendary miser in Ebenezer. It is in theaters on November 13.
The cast? Rupert Grint. Ian McKellen. Daisy Ridley. Sam Claflin.
It is a star-studded Christmas special. Or maybe just another Depp vehicle. Only time will tell.
Avatar: Seven Havens plot and streaming platform
From the creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Avatar: Seven Havens follows The Legend of Korra. It picks up with twin avatars. Pavi and Nisha.
Pavi is Korra’s successor. The world is imbalanced. Spirits and humans clashing. They are marked as an omen of destruction. They must look to the past. To save the Seven Havens.
It is an animated series. It debuts this fall on Paramount Plus.
Mobile Suit Gundam RG XarX-Zero prequel details
Kenji Kamiyama directs. Mobile Suit Gundam RG XarX-Zero is a prequel. Set about 100 years before Gundam Rogue Orbit.
It breaks down the origins. The world fans know. It ties into a video game universe too. The movie hits in 2027.
From Sola Animation. It is coming. Whether you care depends on how much you love mechs.
“The past is prologue.”
Or in Gundam’s case, it is prologue for the next 40 years of lore.
