Here’s a better look at 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' from SDCC

Dan Fogler’s Jacob Kowalski echoed a sentiment we shared at the end of the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them trailer: “I want to be a wizard.” And just getting to see more of what the new J.K. Rowling film is all about gets us extra excited. Debuting at Hall H at the San Diego Comic-Con, Fantastic Beasts’s shows us Eddie Redmayne’s Newt Scamander smuggling magical creatures into the U.S. that somehow managed to escape. He wants to recapture them and keep them from “the most vicious creatures on the planet” a.k.a. humans. He enlists the help of Porpetina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston), a witch from the Magical Congress of the United States of America, and Kowalski. Of course, he’s being hunted by an intimidating and villainous-looking auror Percival Graves (Colin Farrell). There’s just a lot of things we’re excited for with Fantastic Beasts and we can’t wait for its release this November.

DC heightens our expectations with new ‘Wonder Woman’ and ‘Justice League’ trailers

DC looks like they’re taking themselves a lot less seriously while packing in  all that action with the new look at Wonder Woman and the Justice League. For me, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman was the best thing about Batman v. Superman so seeing her kick ass in her own film is a delight to see. It’s especially amazing, and definitely long overdue, that we get a female superhero lead. We just have to wait until June 2017 finally see if the film is just as amazing as the trailer.
