SuperMansion Christmas Special Announced
Crackle's Emmy-nominated original stop-motion comedy series, SuperMansion, is getting into the holiday spirit with the half-hour special SuperMansion: War On Christmas.
Premiering Thursday, December 8th, SuperMansion: War On Christmas will feature the voices of Bryan Cranston, Keegan-Michael Key, Seth Green, Jillian Bell, Dan Stevens, and the late Anton Yelchin - along with new cast members Jim Parsons and Gary Anthony Williams.
The Christmas special is part of the conversation at New York Comic Con's SuperMansion panel today moderated by IGN's Eric Goldman and featuring series creators Zeb Wells (Robot Chicken) and Matthew Senreich (Robot Chicken), and voiceover cast including Emmy Award-winner Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele), Breckin Meyer (Robot Chicken), Heidi Gardner (The Groundlings) and Gary Anthony Williams (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows).
24: Legacy Looks Like a Strong Follow-Up to the Original
"Why did you have to make us wait until February?" asked an excited audience member at the New York Comic Con 24: Legacy panel this weekend, regarding the show's premiere date.
"Because it's Super Bowl night!" responded Jimmy Smits, who plays John Donovan, a politician running for President in this brand new spinoff of the popular FOX espionage series, 24.
As premiere dates go (February 5th, immediately following the Super Bowl), this one works very well. From what was shown at NYCC, 24: Legacy wastes no time setting up the high stakes of this real-time adventure, all before the first commercial break, and the massive Super Bowl audience should respond well to it.
The main protagonist is Eric Carter (Straight Outta Compton and The Walking Dead's Corey Hawkins), an ex-Army Ranger who is thrust back into danger when he and his old Ranger buddies are targeted by a terrorist organization whose leader they killed.

We Saw Several Iron Fist Scenes – And They’re Great!
At the Iron Fist panel at New York Comic Con today, besides the new trailer that was released, a ton of new scenes were debuted as well. Each was designed to spotlight a character or element of the series and gave a good overview of what to expect from the next Marvel/Netflix show – telling the story of billionaire Danny Rand (Finn Jones) returning to Manhattan years after he vanished as a child, now having a very notable skill set and history.
Filming on Iron Fist literally ended today - at 9am Saturday, the crew had wrapped up an all-night shoot. But there was still plenty of edited footage ready to show...
New Walking Dead Scene Shows the Aftermath of Negan’s Attack
The cast and producers of The Walking Dead made their annual pilgrimage to New York Comic-Con today, shambling and staggering to the Theater at Madison Square Garden to promote the upcoming Season 7 while also looking back at all the misery of Season 6. Misery is their specialty, you know!
The extensive group that took the stage included stars Norman Reedus, Danai Gurira, Steven Yeun, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Seth Gilliam, Michael Cudlitz, Lauren Cohan, Sonequa Martin-Green, Melissa McBride, Lennie James, Alanna Masterson, and Austin Nichols, plus producers Scott M. Gimple, Robert Kirkman, Greg Nicotero, David Alpert, and Gale Anne Hurd.
First, watch the new scene that was unveiled at the panel right here. But be prepared -- it takes place right after the big Negan scene from the end of last season (and the beginning of this scene) where he kills one of Rick’s crew with his horrific baseball bat:

Marvel's The Punisher has officially entered production, and Daredevil actress Deborah Ann Woll will star in the upcoming Netflix series.
Punisher's filming was announced during the Marvel's Iron Fist New York Comic-Con 2016 panel, when star Jon Bernthal made a surprise appearance on stage alongside Marvel producer Jeph Loeb. Loeb revealed that production began last Monday, October 3. Woll, who starred in the first two seasons of Daredevil as Karen Page, was also announced as returning for the Punisher's solo series.
