Star Wars Costumes Reveal New Story Details for Andor Series | Comic-Con 2022

While the Star Wars franchise doesn't have a major presence at Comic-Con this year (outside of the Lucasfilm Publishing panel), there is one welcome treat in the form of a display featuring a number of costumes used in the various Disney+ series. And it turns out some of them even tease plot points in the upcoming Star Wars: Andor series.

We snapped some photos of this most impressive Star Wars display, which includes the Darth Vader suit worn by Hayden Christensen in Obi-Wan Kenobi and the Mandalorian armor of characters like Din Djarin, Boba Fett and Bo-Katan Kryze. See them all in the slideshow gallery below:

Alongside the familiar costumes from past Disney+ series, this display includes costumes worn by Genevieve O'Reilly's Mon Mothma and Diego Luna's Cassian Andor in the Andor series. The display plaques even include some intriguing plot details about the show.

Mon Mothma's plaque reads, "The Imperial senator from Chandrila, Mon Mothma carefully navigates the dangerous shadows of Coruscant politics in her efforts to build a rebellion."

Meanwhile, Cassian's plaque reads, "As part of his entry into the growing rebellion, Cassian Andor must undertake a dangerous mission on Aldhani."

No Star Wars series is truly complete without at least one new droid character, and it's clear Andor won't disappoint on that front. This display includes a spot for B2EMO, a scrap-collecting droid who has apparently been serving the Andor family for many years.

Star Wars: Andor was first announced in 2018 and will follow Andor, the thief-turned-Rebel spy, leading up to the events of Rogue One where the plans for the Death Star are stolen. The series could also feature some previously cut characters. Andor debuts with its first two episodes on Disney+ on August 31, 2022. Be sure to check out the trailer and our breakdown of everything we saw in it.

The Mandalorian: Season 2 Figures Revealed by Hasbro – Comic-Con 2022

The Mandalorian: Season 3 may not be debuting until 2023, but that gives Star Wars fans more time to build out their action figure collections. And it's just as well, as Hasbro is still adding some key Season 2 characters to its Star Wars: The Black Series lineup.

IGN can exclusively reveal the next four Black Series figures being added to Hasbro's Mandalorian line, all of which are making their debut at Comic-Con today. Check out the slideshow gallery below for a closer look at all four, including a brand new Luke Skywalker figure inspired by his now-iconic entrance in the Season 2 finale:

All four figures are inspired by the final episodes of The Mandalorian: Season 2, including a new rendition of Bill Burr's mercenary character Migs Mayfield and an HK-87 assassin droid. And a new version of Grogu, of course.

But for many fans, we suspect the centerpiece of this wave will be the Luke Skywalker (Imperial Light Cruiser) figure. This figure is based on Luke's surprise appearance in the closing moments of Season 2, as he cuts a swath through Moff Gideon's Dark Troopers and claims Grogu as his first Jedi trainee.

All four figures are 1:12 scale, measuring roughly six inches tall (apart from Grogu). Each is priced at $24.99 and is slated for release in Spring 2023. Preorders will open on Hasbro Pulse and other retailers on June 23 at 2pm PT.

Hasbro's other recent Star Wars reveals include a Mandalorian-style Jon Favreau figure and a boxset of the original Kenner Star Wars figures.

The Walking Dead Gets New Trailer, Premiere Date for Series’ Final Episodes

AMC has not only revealed a trailer for the final episodes of The Walking Dead, but it also revealed that they will premiere on October 2, 2022.

The trailer begins with a look back at the series and is followed by a saying that sums up this final run - "11 Seasons have all led to this."

What follows is a glimpse of the upcoming war between our heroes and the Miltons and the Commonwealth. It also ends with a tease of a smart zombie that could really complicate things for these characters we have come to love over these many years.

The Walking Dead finished its filming in April, capping an incredibly successful 12-year run that included 177 episodes.

Greg Nicotero, who directed the finale, shared a bit about how emotional it was shooting that final episode.

"We shot 15 days for the last episode," Nicotero said. "As actors ended their final scenes we would wrap them as they went on. So in the middle of these long shoot we’d stop and call wrap on someone and I’d realize that that was the last time I’d ever call ‘action on them.’ It was sad but it was also like ‘we did it,’ ‘we made it,’ ‘we got over the finish line.’

Those who need more zombies in their life have nothing to fear, however, as spin-offs in the universe will help fill that void. In 2023, fans will be treated to Isle of the Dead, which will star Lauren Cohan's Maggie and Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Negan as they battle zombies in the Big Apple. Speaking of Cohan and Morgan, Nicotero revealed they were the first two characters to wrap filming.

Isle of the Dead will join Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: World Beyond, and the anthology series Tales of the Walking Dead that recieved its first trailer at SDCC.

Marvel Reveals Real-Life Infinity Stones Collection Worth $25 Million

Marvel has unveiled a collection of 'Infinity Stones' comprised of actual precious gems with a combined value of more than $25 million – and their very own Infinity Gauntlet.

Revealed at Marvel's San Diego Comic-Con 2022 booth, the entertainment company is collaborating with East Continental Gems to release the Infinity Collection of Gemstones, made up of of six real-life precious stones representing the Time, Space, Reality, Power, Soul, and Mind Stones from the comics and several films, including Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. The six stones come in at a combined 150 carats.

The $25 million valuation makes this collection one of the most valuable bits of comic-book paraphernalia in the world, and the stones obviously hold their own value as precious gems anyway. They will be housed in an specially designed Infinity Gauntlet designed by collectibles company Gentle Giant.

As for their real-life classifications, the Time Stone is a Colombian emerald, the Space Stone is a sapphire from Madagascar, the Reality Stone is an oval-shaped natural ruby from Mozambique, the Power Stone is an oval-shaped natural amethyst, the Soul Stone is a cushion-shaped Spessartite, and the Mind Stone is a brilliant cut yellow diamond.

Marvel and East Continental Gems aren't satisfied with just one multi-million dollar collection, however, as a limited edition Reality Stone will also be issued in September as part of a future collection, but no further details on this one were shared.

There's tons of news for all your favorite shows, films, games, and more coming out of San Diego Comic-Con 2022, and we've got the full schedule to guide you through the weekend of panels, announcements, trailers, and surprises.

Here's all of the news from today's Marvel Studios Animation Panel.

I Am Groot Trailer Reveals the First Look at the Adorable Guardians of the Galaxy Spin-Off

Marvel revealed the first trailer for I Am Groot, which is slated to release on August 10. The Guardians of the Galaxy spinoff is comprised of five animated shorts that focus on none other than Groot, who is seen getting into some alien-related trouble in his adorable Baby Groot form in the trailer.

Spider-Man: Freshman Year Arrives on Disney+ in 2024, Will Feature Charlie Cox's Daredevil

While no trailer was shown at the panel, fans received more news about Spider-Man: Freshman Year, the show announced last year that focuses on Spider-Man's first year in high school. The series is now set to arrive on Disney+ in 2024, and it'll also feature Charlie Cox as Daredevil. It'll also receive a second season, fittingly called Spider-Man: Sophomore Year.

Marvel's What If...? Season 2 Announced for Early 2023 Alongside Season 3 Confirmation

What If...?, the Marvel show that imagines alternate timelines for some of Marvel's most iconic characters, has at least two more seasons on the way. At today's panel, Marvel Studios announced that Season 2 will be out in early 2023 for Disney+ subscribers. The show is also confirmed to return for a third season.

Marvel Zombies on Disney+ to Have the 'Gore and Splatter You Want From a Zombie Show'

While the series still doesn't have a release date, more details about Marvel Zombies were revealed today. It'll feature zombified versions of characters like Captain America and Scarlet Witch fighting against heroes like Kamala Khan and Yelena. As revealed during the panel, it'll be pretty gory for a Marvel series.

X-Men '97 to Premiere on Disney+ in Fall 2023

X-Men '97, a reboot of the fan favorite series, received a release window during the Marvel Animation Panel. The upcoming show, which revives the iconic '90s timeline of the X-Men, is now slated to premiere on Disney+ next fall.

Tales of the Walking Dead Gets Its First Full Trailer at San Diego Comic Con

Today at San Diego Comic Con we got our first proper, full-length trailer for Tales of the Walking Dead, a new Walking Dead anthology series premiering next month.

The trailer gives a look at all six protagonists, and includes narration by Alpha - a known Walking Dead character who is the leader of a group of survivors called the Whisperers in the comic and television series. Tales of the Walking Dead will show her prior to her story as we know it, when she used to be called Dee. She is still played by Samantha Morton.

"I was so gutted when Alpha died," Morton said on the SDCC panel. "It was the role of a lifetime. All things must pass and I was like ‘Okay,’ but when I got the call that this was going to happen, potentially, I was over the moon. I’m 45 years old so as an actress the roles change, and you’re either making tea, or you’re the wife, and they can be kind of rubbish.

"This is interesting because this is Dee’s perspective. Dee is who she was before she was Alpha. She’s always been Alpha though, it’s always been there. It’s under the skin. There are a lot of things about gender and identity and who they are so it’s interesting to play someone surprising who they are and then blossom.

Tales of the Walking Dead is an anthology spin-off series of the original The Walking Dead set to premiere on August 14 on AMC+. Instead of telling a single, linear story, Tales of the Walking Dead consists of six, one-hour-long standalone episodes, each containing a mixture of new and established characters from the universe. Its cast is set to include Olivia Munn, Samantha Morton, Terry Crews, Parker Posey, Anthony Edwards, Poppy Liu, Jillian Bell, Loan Chabanol, Embeth Davidtz, Jessie T. Usher, Daniella Pineda, and Danny Ramierez.

There's tons of news for all your favorite shows, films, games, and more coming out of San Diego Comic-Con 2022, and we've got the full schedule to guide you through the weekend of panels, announcements, trailers, and surprises.

Marvel Zombies on Disney+ to Have the ‘Gore and Splatter You Want From a Zombie Show’

Marvel Zombies on Disney+ will not only feature undead versions of Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, Ghost, Abomination, Captain Marvel, and Okoye, but it will also have all the "gore and splatter you want from a Zombie show."

Revealed during Marvel's animation panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the team wanted to see "what happens next" after that cliffhanger of an ending in the What If... ? zombies episode.

Alongside zombified versions of our favorite characters, we will also have heroes who have yet to turn that are trying to save what is left of their world. These heroes include Yelena, Kate Bishop, Red Guardian, Jimmy Woo, Death Dealer, Shang-Chi, Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel.

Eternals' Ikaris also appears to be half-zombie/half-human. Being an Eternal, he may not be able to become full zombie, but something is definitely off about him.

There also appears to be a team of Widows and a biker gang of Skrulls that look to be living in this zombie apocalypse with attire to match.

Marvel Zombies was announced during the Disney+ Day 2021, and its showing today was accompanied by the official announcement of Season 2 and Season 3 of Marvel's What If... ?, the news that Spider-Man: Freshman Year will arrive in 2024 with Charlie Cox's Daredevil, and the first trailer for I Am Groot.

X-Men ’97 to Premiere on Disney+ in Fall 2023

The highly-anticipated X-Men '97 revival finally has a release window. As part of Marvel's San Diego Comic-Con panel on the studio's animated projects, Marvel confirmed the revival will hit Disney+ in Fall 2023. It will mark the first official X-Men project at Marvel Studios since Disney acquired 21st Century Fox's film and TV assets.

Plenty of classic characters are returning to the show, including Rogue, Beast, Gambit, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Storm, Jubilee, and Cyclops. The designs are sticking true to the original looks from the 90s, but they'll be a bit sharper.

In a clip shown at the panel, Magneto appeared and said "You’re looking at he new leader of the X-Men." Other returning characters include Cable, Bishop, Forge, Morph, NIghtcrawler, and Sunspot. We also learned that one of the show's major themes will be, "Why do we still need the X-Men?"

As for villains, the panel showed off various Sentinels surrounding the X-Men, as well as Mr. Sinister. White Queen and Sebastian Shaw of the Hellfire Club were also confirmed to appear.

The revival of X-Men '97 was first announced last year. The original series' showrunners, Eric and Julia Lewald, are consulting on the new series. They previously confirmed that this show will pick up right where the original X-Men series wrapped up. The original series ended on somewhat of a cliffhanger, as Charles Xavier was gravely injured and had to be rescued by Empress Lilandra.

There was plenty announced at today's Marvel animation panel. For more, check out the reveals of Marvel Zombies, Spider-Man: Freshman Year, Marvel's What If...? Season 2, and I Am Groot. And, for everything else, check out our list of everything announced at SDCC 2022.

Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power Scenes Teased at SDCC Include an Elrond v. Durin IV Rock-Breaking Contest

In addition to a brand new, three-minute trailer of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, fans attending the show’s Comic-Con panel got to see no fewer than five new scenes featuring some of the major characters introduced in the prequel series. It doesn’t appear that Amazon has released this footage online, but IGN can break down what we saw during the panel.

One of these scenes shows the debut of Daniel Weyman’s character The Stranger, who has just crashed into Middle-earth. Elanor ‘Nori’ Brandyfoot (Markella Kavenagh) and Poppy Proudfellow (Megan Richards) are seen approaching this mysterious character. No sooner does Nori poke the unconscious man than he awakens and fire and rocks begin to rise around him. The scene ends with the two Harfoot rescuers preparing to take the Stranger with them, after much prodding from Nori.

At this point, we still know very little about the origins or true nature of the Stranger, as that seems to be one of the central mysteries of Season 1. Weyman would only tease that his character is motivated by a profound sense of purpose and desire.

“All you can do as an actor is play what’s in front of you,” said Weyman, which moderator Stephen Colbert joked was “a beautiful non-answer.”

Another new scene focuses on Owain Arthur’s Prince Durin IV and Robert Aramayo’s Elrond, highlighting the unusual friendship between the two. The scene is set in what appears to be the mines of Khazad-dûm, as Elrond and Durin take part in a competition to split a giant boulder. If Elrond loses, he’ll be banished from dwarven lands forever. Unfortunately, the scene ends before we learn whether he wins or loses.

Morfydd Clark’s Galadriel was showcased in two separate scenes. In one, Galadriel and Elrond can be seen conversing in Elvish, as they discuss the state of their army, such as it is in this deceptively peaceful period. Another shows Galadriel riding a ship to the island of Númenor, a key locale in the Second Age.

Finally, the panel showed off a clip of battle between elves and orcs, with the two sides violently pulling on chains.

We've already seen a handful of teasers for The Rings of Power so far, giving us looks at Galadriel, Isildur, Elendil, and more familiar characters from Middle-earth. While we wait for its coming release on September 2, IGN has a primer on what The Rings of Power is actually about, as well as why we probably won't see Gandalf anywhere.

There's tons of news for all your favorite shows, films, games, and more coming out of San Diego Comic-Con 2022, and we've got the full schedule to guide you through the weekend of panels, announcements, trailers, and surprises.
