Michael Bay is well aware that the long-awaited debut of the Dinobots is generating a lot of buzz for Transformers: Age Of Extinction, so it’s no surprise that many of the teasers, trailers, and other promotional materials have offered hints at what to expect when the dinosaur-themed Transformers are finally introduced to the blockbuster franchise.

And the latest trailer continues that trend — in a big way.

Along with providing a bit more insight into the events shaping the world since the last installment of the franchise, 2011’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon, the latest trailer also serves up a hefty dose of both human and robot villains, as well as the sort of explosive action audiences have come to expect from a Michael Bay film. Several new additions to the cast of Autobots and Decepticons also appear in the trailer — including the gun-faced Lockdown, the bearded Hound (voiced by John Goodman), and a winged Dinobot — as well as the character many fans have been waiting to see since the very first Transformers premiered: Grimlock, the fire-breathing, robotic Tyrannosaurus Rex.

As with much of the promotional footage for Transformers films, the new trailer ends on an epic note, with Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) riding Grimlock into battle and the pair laying waste to an army of Decepticons.

Transformers: Age of Extinction hits theaters June 27 and stars Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Li Bingbing, Kelsey Grammer, Sophia Myles, T. J. Miller, Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor, and Titus Welliver, in addition to an all-star cast of voice actors that includes Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, John Goodman, and Ken Watanabe.

Pinocchio comes to life in Disney+’s new live-action trailer
Disney's Pinocchio from the forthcoming live-action remake.

Pinocchio may not have been the first animated film produced by Walt Disney, but it has a major place in Disney lore. The 1940 animated classic still holds up well 82 years after its initial release, and its signature song, When You Wish Upon a Star, has become an anthem for the entire Disney company. For this year's Disney+ Day, the studio is releasing a big-budget, live-action remake of Pinocchio. And this CGI wooden puppet looks uncannily like his conventionally animated counterpart in the new trailer.

It wouldn't be San Diego Comic-Con without an in-depth look at the MCU. After a comparatively lackluster presentation by rival DC, Marvel unveiled new trailers, new characters, new casting announcements, and new release dates for most (but not all) of its upcoming film and television projects.

First, the Disney+ content. Fans got a closer look at the forthcoming She-Hulk: Attorney at Law series, which stars Tatiana Maslany as the jade giantess who is trying to reconcile her life as a lawyer with her new role as a superhero. Helping her out is her cousin Bruce Banner aka the Hulk, played once again by MCU veteran Mark Ruffalo.

Butcher powers up in a new trailer for The Boys season 3
The cast of The Boys.

One of the key changes that The Boys live-action series made from the comic book that inspired it is that the main characters have no superhuman powers of their own. They're just regular guys and one woman with enhanced strength. Somehow, they've managed to survive two seasons on Prime Video's breakout hit. However, it's time for Billy Butcher and his team to level the playing field.

In the gore-filled new trailer for The Boys season 3, a significant amount of time has passed since the events of season 2. Outwardly, Homelander was humbled by the revelation that he was dating a super Nazi code-named Stormfront. And while Homelander says all of the right things to the media, it's clear that he's losing his mind. It's so obvious that even Homelander's handlers are terrified of him. That's why Butcher has been given the chance to become the very thing he hates the most: A superhuman. But against Homelander, even having powers may not be enough.
