Bam! Just like that, New York Comic Con 2025 is underway, taking over the Javits Center from October 9 through 12. So far, the convention has debuted trailers for the more lighthearted Game of Thrones spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and a Chris Pratt movie called Mercy, with more previews to come. Below, all the trailers released at NYCC so far.

We knew The Vampire Lestat would have some slight mockumentary energy to it, with a camera crew trailing Lestat on his rock & roll exploits. But thanks to the new extended first look from AMC+, we now know that none other than Daniel Molloy will be directing it. The NYCC panel also unveiled the show’s Akasha, All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt and Woman King star Sheila Atim.

The Game of Thrones spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is based on a series of novellas by GoT scribe George R.R. Martin. From the trailer, it looks to be the first time a GoT property could be called a comedy. Starring Peter Claffey as Sir Duncan the Tall and Dexter Sol Ansell as his squire, Egg, Seven Kingdoms is set 100 years before the original series but well after House of the Dragon. “Rob me and I’ll hunt you down with dogs,” Sir Duncan tells his squire in the teaser. Egg counters, “You don’t have dogs!” The HBO series will return to Westeros beginning January 18, 2026.

Chris Pratt is begging for mercy and they won’t release him in the trailer for his new science-fiction film. Pratt plays Detective Chris Raven, a man who programmed an artificial intelligence called Mercy, which Los Angeles courts are using to determine guilt. When accused of murdering his wife, he gets only 90 minutes to prove his innocence. Inevitably, the AI goes haywire. “This was never about my wife,” Pratt tells Mercy, played by Dune star Rebecca Ferguson. “This was about me and you.” The film comes out January 23, 2026 — if AI hasn’t taken over by then.

Marvel is going meta with the teaser trailer for its upcoming series Wonder Man. Yahya Abdul-Mateen stars in the series as an actor who auditions to play Wonder Man, and the teaser is largely based around an interview with the “Wonder Man” movie’s fake director, Von Kovak (Zlatko Burić). “I know your question is ‘Why one more superhero film?’” Kovak says in the trailer. “Everyone is tired of superheroes. Why go see them in the cinema?” After the lackadaisical box-office performance from Thunderbolts*, Fantastic Four: First Steps, and Captain America: Brave New World, Kovak promises that “there is an opportunity to shock audiences.” Well, maybe Wonder Man can do the same as a limited series when it debuts on Disney+ in January.

Prime Video, leader of all dad-TV shows, released a trailer for Cross season two. Based on the Alex Cross books by James Patterson, the series follows the D.C. homicide detective, played by Aldis Hodge, hunting down a serial killer going after corrupt billionaires. “This begins and ends with me,” he says, so you know it’s serious. Season two premieres on February 11.

There’s trailers for everything nowadays! NYCC was the venue for Wizards of the Coast’s big Magic: the Gathering and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collab. The set is part of their Universes Beyond collection, which also includes cards from The Walking Dead, Doctor Who, Fallout, and more.

This is a developing story.
