‘Wonder Woman’ trailer, ‘Justice League’ footage debut at Comic-Con

By Rick Marshall Published April 25, 2023

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.

Amazon Prime Video’s latest trick is natural lip-sync for dubbed audio

At last, translated audio will look natural on the actors' faces. And yeah, AI is involved.

Amazon Prime Video lip-sync technology

I have watched plenty of stuff on streaming platforms where the translated audio doesn't feel natural on the faces of the actors appearing on the screen. It just looks odd and takes away the fun from watching dubbed films and TV shows. I would prefer to watch content with the original audio and see the translated captions, rather than deal with the asynchrony between the audio and facial expressions. Amazon finally has a solution.

The company is launching a new lip-sync technology on Prime Video that will use AI and VFX to sync the lip movement of actors so that they appear to naturally speak the dialog, even if it has been translated and dubbed from another language. The technology is making its debut with the first and second seasons of Maxton Hall, and will also be used when the third season premieres on the platform.

EXCLUSIVE: Hope director Na Hong-jin on making his sci-fi epic after a decade

Filmmaker Na Hong-jin opens up about his decade-long journey to make Hope

Hwang Jung-min and Hoyeon in the film Hope.

Ten years after releasing his horror film The Wailing, filmmaker Na Hong-jin has returned with a new feature, the epic sci-fi thriller Hope. Set in the town of Hope Harbor, this South Korean film follows the police chief (Hwang Jung-min), his deputy (Hoyeon), and a team of hunters as they try to kill a giant creature rampaging through their village, leaving death and destruction in its path.

Nominated for the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Hope delivers a suspenseful, gory, and action-packed adventure in the vein of Jaws and Attack on Titan. Having already premiered in South Korea, the movie has received a 78% "Fresh" rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Acclaimed film studio NEON is now set to distribute the movie throughout the United States, giving American audiences a chance to see this unhinged, ultraviolent adventure.

This wild new TV mount moves your screen without you touching it

TVs can already adjust their picture and sound without much help from you. Perlegear now wants the physical screen to adapt to you as well.

Indoors, Interior Design, Lamp

TVs have become incredibly smart over the years. They can automatically tweak picture quality, adjust sound for your room, and recommend what you should watch next. Yet once you bolt one to the wall, there’s one decidedly old-fashioned thing about it: it’s staying exactly where you put it.

Perlegear has an interesting solution at IFA 2026. The company is showing off the AX1 Smart Adaptive Mount, a motorized TV mount that detects where you’re watching from and automatically moves the television to a more comfortable height. It’s an idea that sounds a little excessive until you think about how many different ways we use TVs today. You might be sitting on the couch for a movie, standing up for a workout, playing a motion-controlled game, or have kids watching from the floor. The ideal screen position for one isn’t necessarily great for the others.
