Following San Diego Comic-Con this summer, New York Comic-Con brought even more exciting announcements. Here’s a running list of TV and movie trailer drops and sneak peeks you need to know about.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a prequel to Game of Thrones, taking place a century before the events of the original series. Based on novellas by George R.R. Martin, A Knight of Seven Kingdoms will follow shabby knight Sir Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and his squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell).

How to watch: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms premieres January 18 on HBO Max.

Marvel’s Wonder Man miniseries teaser

Marvel dropped a teaser for Wonder Man, an eight-episode miniseries. The trailer is pretty meta, with talk of an in-universe reboot of a Wonder Man movie. “I know your question is, ‘Why one more superhero film?’” a reclusive director character says in an interview. “Everyone is tired of superheroes” — saying what many fans watching the teaser must be thinking. According to Entertainment Weekly, the series itself will be pretty meta as well, with the actual hero auditioning to be the movie version of Wonder Man.

“Have you given any thought about casting?” the interviewer asks, with the final shot of the teaser being Wonder Man (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) staring at his phone, watching.

On Marvel’s website, it states that Wonder Man premieres in December, but Entertainment Weekly reported that it’s shifted to January.

How to watch: Wonder Man premieres on Disney+ in January 2026.

Invincible Season 4 gets a release date

At SDCC in July, creator Robert Kirkman updated fans about Invincible Season 4, like that Matthew Rhys will be voicing Dr. David Anders/Dinosaurus. Kirkman also revealed that Grand Regent Thragg, ruler of the Viltrum Empire, would debut — and now as of NYCC, we know who will voice him: Lee Pace, Variety reported. An entire trailer dropped, as well as a release date (March).

How to watch: Invincible Season 4 premieres on Amazon Prime in March 2026.

Mercy trailer drops

Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson star in this new sci-fi movie, Mercy, from Amazon MGM, releasing in January. “Mercy” is an advanced AI who acts as judge, jury, and executioner according to the trailer. (Not totally terrifying or topical at all!) Pratt plays Detective Raven, who helped develop the program, now on trial for murdering his wife. If he can’t prove his innocence in 90 minutes to Mercy (Ferguson), the AI will kill him.

How to watch: Mercy will be released in theaters on January 23.

The Vampire Lestat extended first look

The Vampire Lestat, Season 3 of the AMC+ Interview With The Vampire adaptation, takes a bite at Anne Rice‘s second book in her Vampire Chronicles series. While Interview focused on Louis de Pointe du Lac‘s (Jacob Anderson) journey from human to vampire, The Vampire Lestat stars his (former) vampiric lover, Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) — in case the title didn’t make that obvious. While the first trailer dropped last year at SDCC, fans will have to wait until next year for the entire season to drop, so AMC+ must’ve felt merciful to give fans an extended look at the 2025 NYCC.

How to watch: The Vampire Lestat premieres in 2026 on AMC+.

Check back for more developments as NYCC continues.
