13 moments and big reveals you might have missed from Comic Con 2015

The annual geekfest has dropped some serious gems.

THE ANNUAL COMIC bonanza, Comic Con, took place in San Diego this weekend. There were cosplays, celebrity panels, and an unreal takedown from Bryan Cranston.

But there was also lots of footage and trailers shown from some of this and next year’s most anticipated movies.

1. A Deadpool trailer was shown

The much anticipated Deadpool movie offered a first look at the trash-talking superhero in action. Ryan Reynolds was there to introduce it, and the footage impressed audiences.

Featuring auditions from Christie, Pedro Pascal, Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei), Kristofer Hivju (Tormund Giantsbane), Rose Leslie (Ygritte) and Jerome Flynn (Bronn) entwined with tv footage, they simple slay.

4. Everyone got a behind-the-scenes look at the new Star Wars, The Force Awakens

Featuring a surprise cameo from Simon Pegg. As an alien. Harrison Ford also showed up after his plane crash and everyone sighed in relief.

Domhnall Gleeson sat on the Dark Side panel, so we can expect bad things from him.

13. Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy got hot and heavy

The lads were at the convention to promote Victor Frankenstein and had a weird moment against the wall.

James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe made the Victor Frankenstein panel very homoerotic. #sdcc

This is important.

14. The X Men Apocalypse panel gave us the best selfie since the Oscar selfie

Including the cast of X Men, Fantastic 4, Deadpool, and… Channing Tatum.

Not to mention some new footage of the movie. Some very bad quality YouTube uploads are available, you’re WELCOME.
