Taking full advantage of Disney’s absence this year, Warner Bros. took over Comic-Con on Saturday and upped the convention’s superhero film credentials with panels for some of their most anticipated releases. After the massive success of last year’s ‘Wonder Woman’, director Patty Jenkins returned to Hall H with stars Gal Gadot and Chris Pine to talk and tease their in early production sequel ‘Wonder Woman 1984’, discussing the films 80s setting . . . but not revealing how the hell Steve Trevor made it there. ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ is out November 2019.

#TriviaTuesday: A cost-cutting insect-like suit was the early design for the alien hunter in 1987's 'Predator'—unsuccessfully worn by the character's first actor Jean-Claude Van Damme—but it was ditched for a now iconic Stan Winston design at twice the price. Money well spent. pic.twitter.com/pvbTmpgUIB
#TriviaTuesday: ‘Big Kahuna Burger’ is most certainly the fictional fast food of choice in the Tarantinoverse, appearing or referenced in 'Reservoir Dogs', 'From Dusk Till Dawn', 'Death Proof', 'Four Rooms', as well as its starring turn in 1994’s 'Pulp Fiction' of course. pic.twitter.com/k3xVsbDuA6
