Comic-Con International wrapped up in San Diego over the weekend, but not before some major movie news and previews were released to eager fans. As usual, superhero movie studios Warner Bros. Pictures and Marvel Studios competed to make the biggest impression on the Comic-Con crowds, and their efforts yielded some exciting sneak peeks at some of the most-anticipated movies on tap over the next few years.

On the Warner Bros. side of things, the studio’s Hall H panel featured the debut of the first full-length trailer for Wonder Woman, as well as some of the very first footage from superhero team-up movie Justice League.

Directed by Monster filmmaker Patty Jenkins from a script penned by Pan screenwriter Jason Fuchs, Wonder Woman stars Gal Gadot (Fast & Furious 6) as the popular DC Comics character, an Amazon princess with tremendous power who leaves her home to explore the world and becomes one of its greatest heroes.

Along with Gadot, the film’s cast includes Star Trek actor Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, Wonder Woman’s love interest, as well as Robin Wright (House of Cards), Danny Huston (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), David Thewlis (The Theory of Everything), Ewen Bremner (Exodus: Gods and Kings), Saïd Taghmaoui (American Hustle), Elena Anaya (The Skin I Live In), Connie Nielsen (Gladiator), and Lucy Davis (Shaun of the Dead). Wonder Woman is scheduled to arrive in theaters June 2, 2017.

Wonder Woman also appears in the Comic-Con preview of Justice League, which features DC Comics heroes Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg, and Aquaman for a team-up event set after the events of Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Directed by Man of Steel and Dawn of Justice filmmaker Zack Snyder, Justice League is based on a script by Argo screenwriter Chris Terrio.

Set to star Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman (who doesn’t appear in the Justice League footage), and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Justice League will also feature Jason Mamoa as Aquaman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, and Ezra Miller as The Flash. They’re joined by Amber Heard, who will portray the Atlantean Queen Mera, as well as Willem Dafoe as Vulko and J.K. Simmons as Commissioner James Gordon.

Justice League is scheduled to hit theaters November 17, 2017.

San Diego Comic-Con 2023 panel and event schedule

The pop culture event of 2023 is finally here! San Diego Comic-Con has been the biggest comic convention in the U.S. for decades, and a top destination for movie and TV stars for more than 20 years. This year's convention is going to be an exception that rule, since many of the actors, actresses, and writers will not be present due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. But don't think for a moment that this means people won't show up for Comic-Con. The tickets were sold out months ago, and fans have plenty of other ways to get their Comic-Con on.

Before we dive into this year's panels, we want to give you some much-needed advice to handle the long days inside and outside of the San Diego Convention Center. The first piece of advice is simple: Bring your own food and water whenever possible. Otherwise, you'll find yourself waiting in line for an hour for overpriced convention food and bottled water that's several more expensive than it would be in a regular store. Having your own food means that you waste less time in line, and you save more money for things you can actually keep. And if you need more food while you're at the show, there's a Ralphs at 101 G Street, which is just under a half mile away from the convention center.

On Thursday, July 20, the annual Comic-Con International will return to San Diego for another round of the biggest comic convention in North America. Because of the respective actors' and writers' strikes, this year's San Diego Comic-Con won't have the star power of years past. But it remains the premiere destination for fans of all stripes, and there are still some great panels awaiting you.

For the moment, we're going to focus on the past. Comic-Con had a modest beginning in 1970 when the first-ever Golden State Comic Con attracted 300 fans to the U.S. Grant Hotel. Attendance rose steadily over the years, and the renamed San Diego Comic-Con kept expanding in size until it became an event unto itself. In the present, Comic-Con takes over a good deal of San Diego's Gaslamp District during the show, and it just keeps getting bigger.
