Star Trek, superheroes, and lots of Stephen King: the best of SDCC 2025
Here's everything notable that you might have missed.
We've got our first look at Nickelodeon's newest entry in the animated Avatar franchise, and while Seven Havens doesn't have a firm release date just yet, we now know that Pavi (the new Earthbending Avatar) is good friends with a cat / lemur hybrid.
Writer / director Juan Meza-León's upcoming animated feature for DC Studios reimagines the Dark Knight as an Aztec warrior whose life is turned upside down when his father is murdered by Spanish conquistadors. If it's anything like Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League, Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires is going to be wild, and after it hits HBO Max on September 18th, we're probably going to be seeing a lot of fan art of these inspired costumes.
The feel-good story of this formerly canceled movie continues. We already knew it was coming to theaters next year, and now there's a specific date: August 28th.
The kids are not alright in the new trailer for Gen V's upcoming second season. But when the show returns on September 17th, Marie (Jaz Sinclair) and her friends are going to be on a mission that forces them all to level up and become the kind of superheroes that might be able to take down Homelander.
No one in their right mind would ever move to Derry, Maine, if they knew what kind of monster was lurking in the town's shadows. But everyone in the new trailer for HBO's It prequel is pretty clueless about Pennywise, who seems like he's going to be eating very well when the show premieres later this year.
When The Long Walk was first published in 1979, the idea of people entering a deadly walking competition in hopes of winning a prize probably seemed much more far-fetched. But everything about Lionsgate's new adaptation that's premiering on September 12th feels unsettlingly plausible given the state of the world in 2025.
There wasn't much Star Wars presence at Comic Con, but we did at least get the first still image from this Darth Maul animated series coming to Disney Plus next year. As an added bonus, Lucasfilm also showed off a new image from the second season of Ahsoka.
Now that Superman has become a headliner in DC Studios' new cinematic universe, HBO Max's Peacemaker series looks like it's stepping its game up and getting much weirder in its second season due out on August 21st.
Apple's run of science fiction doesn't appear to be slowing down with the reveal of Pluribus from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan. While the teaser doesn't reveal much, we at least know it'll start streaming on November 7th.
The gang is back together (again) in this side-scrolling beat-'em-up from the team behind Shredder's Revenge. The latest trailer focuses on the gameplay and is full of some great Anamanaguchi tracks.
The Rick and Morty cinematic universe is growing, as Adult Swim announced a spinoff called President Curtis, which will see Keith David reprise the titular role as he deals with everything from 'interdimensional diplomacy to paranormal investigations and unexplained phenomena.' No word on when it will air.
Another Star Trek spinoff is coming to Paramount Plus, but this one focuses on a fresh cast of recruits at the academy in a futuristic San Francisco. There's no date yet, but it'll be streaming in 2026.
While season 3 is currently airing, Paramount provided a surprise glimpse at the upcoming fourth (and penultimate) season of the show. It's surprising because, well, there's a muppet.
AMC's other Anne Rice adaptations have yet to have any significant overlap. But the network's upcoming series about an organization of humans keeping an eye on the supernatural world seems like it's going to change all of that when it premieres on October 26th.
Lestat (Sam Reid) is going on tour in the third season of AMC's Interview With the Vampire series, and it seems like he's doing everything in his power to reveal the existence of his kind to the human world

She Asked Her Late Son for a Sign He Could Still Hear Her. Then He Responded (Exclusive)
After a video explaining how a mom asked her late son for a sign went viral, Tara Stilwell tells PEOPLE about the outpouring of support that followedNEED TO KNOW After the death of her six-year-old son, Tara Stilwell read Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe by Laura Lynne Jackson and felt compelled to ask Wilder for a sign that he could still hear her In a video posted to TikTok, Stilwell explained how she asked her son to show her a red Lego That same day, he responded with a signWhen Tara Stilwell uploaded a quick story to TikTok while her baby napped on her chest, she didn't expect that it would resonate with millions of people online. Stilwell shared the video, which now has over seven million views on the app, "on a whim," taking to the platform to tell the story of how she asked her late six-year-old son, Wilder, for a sign that he could still hear her after his death."I had just read the book called Signs, it's a pretty common book people read directly after losing someone they love," she explains in the video. "It says to be really specific about what you ask for." So Tara picked something that reminded her directly of her son: a Lego. More specifically? A red Lego. Stilwell then recounts asking her son to let her see a Lego "in a place where it didn't belong." Later that day, while sitting in the waiting room at her daughter's ballet class, Stilwell recalls seeing a family she had never seen before, and their young son playing. She struck up a casual conversation with the mom, who she learned was not originally supposed to be at the class that day and whose children were attending a makeup class. The boy, she recalls, was wearing a shirt identical to one her son used to without a word, the boy walked over and placed a single red Lego in her hand. Stilwell recalls immediately tearing up, but wanting to hide it from the mother and the boy so as not to freak them out. The moment, which she shared in detail on TikTok, has sparked thousands of emotional comments, with many viewers feeling compelled to share their own stories of "signs" from loved ones. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest with PEOPLE, Tara discussed her reaction to the response from people online: "People have messaged me saying they felt inspired and they got a sign and it's just snowballed into this really beautiful thing."Stilwell, who lost her son nearly four years ago, says the video stemmed from a moment of reflection. "I was just thinking about how far we've come and how many moments I've had where I've felt connected to him and that just came out," she a follow up video, Tara spoke about how it has felt to have her son's name being talked about by people on the Internet. "I don't get to say Wilder's name in the same way that I used to," she says. "I obviously still say it everyday, but I'm no longer referenced as Wilder's mom. For just a second, I felt like Wilder's mom again."Adding on, she tells PEOPLE, "It feels so incredible to hear stranger's saying my son's name. But he like brought all these people together and it just is a testament of how special he was and continues to be." Stilwell says she still connects with Wilder through dreams, memories and unexpected moments — like that red Lego. The moment with the little boy in the ballet studio has replayed in her head "many times.""Our logical brain wants to kind of explain it away. And my logical brain can't explain it away," she says. "It does not make sense. The fact that I had been breaking down and talking to him and asking for a very specific sign that I felt resonated with him, and then mere hours later, a stranger is not only wearing the same shirt that my son owns. He wasn't even playing with Legos — he was playing with cars."Stilwell continues to focus on the impact Wilder continues to have on her family's lives. After moving back to her hometown to be near family, Tara rekindled a relationship with someone from her high school — someone, she believes, that Wilder sent into her life.

Play now!"I truly believe that Wilder was like, okay, I'm gonna send somebody your way to like hold your hand through it," she tells she believes, even gave his blessing to her partner in a dream that he had. "It was when we first started seeing each other and he said that the dream took place at like the house we live at now. And he had like, walked outside and Wilder was standing there and said, 'Who are you?' And he introduced himself," she recalls. "And then Wilder said, 'Are you good?' And my partner said, 'I think, I think I'm good.' And he said, "Okay, you can stay.'"In the aftermath of the video, Stilwell hopes others can find their own connections too. "In order to connect with your loved one, you have to sit in the pain," she says. "If people can allow themselves to be vulnerable and sit with the discomfort, they can see the signs, they can feel connected to their loved one.

Dani was formally a member of her sisters' band, Cimorelli, while Calleiro is the lead singer for the band Games We PlayNEED TO KNOW Former YouTuber Dani Cimorelli and Emmyn Calleiro are going to be parents The Games We Play singer announced the news on his Instagram Dani was formerly a member of the band Cimorelli, which was started by her sisters and had a presence on YouTubeDani Cimorelli and Emmyn Calleiro are going to be parents! The Games We Play singer, 25, shared the exciting news on his Instagram, posting a few photos of himself and his wife Dani, also 25, who is best known for formerly being a part of her sisters' band, Cimorelli, which found fame on YouTube. In the first photo, Emmyn can be seen putting an arm around his wife and smiling. Dani smiled and leaned into her husband, wearing a cropped black T-shirt that showed off her belly. "In case you don't see me as much on here - wanted to fill you in that I'm going to become a dad this month and I'm also halfway done with my second album," Emmyn wrote in his caption. "If u miss me, play my music that's on Spotify and know that I'm changing diapers and writing new songs for you. Trying to make something special, see u soon ❤️." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Dani left Cimorelli in January 2020 after 10 years in the band. At the time, she said "she wants to pursue other career paths outside of music and has made the decision to move on from the band," per a statement released by her sisters. Dani and Emmyn got engaged in August 2018 and got married later that year when they were both 19. In a video posted to their shared YouTube channel, the couple spoke about how difficult it was to get engaged and married that young. "I'm not going to lie guys, it was probably one of the worst few months of my entire life," Dani said at the time. "August, September, October, November. Some of the worst times of my entire life. Not because of our wedding, but because again, like I said, it was really difficult being 19 and engaged." "Just because so many people don't approve or like it or say negative things or whatever on the Internet or in person," she explained. "Just so many things." Then in 2023, Dani and Emmyn shared on their respective Instagram Stories that they were no longer together. Although the image is no longer up, a fan posted their statement to TikTok. "Hey guys, we wanted to let you know that we are not together anymore. We still love each other a lot and are still each other's biggest fans. We are both okay and are still friends ❤️ — Dani and Emmyn," the statement read. However, in January 2024, the couple appeared to have reconciled when Emmyn posted a video to his TikTok about his band Games We Play's new song, "Girl-Shaped Crater." "I fell in love for the first time when I was 18. She was the most amazing girl I'd ever met. From the moment I met her, I knew she was the one for me," Emmyn wrote over the video, which featured his new song. "After almost 5 years, we split up for a while. Being apart from each other felt wrong. It only made me want her more." "I always felt like she didn't realize how amazing she really was. I wrote this song to tell her, and almost didn't get to show her," he continued. "It's how I felt when we were 18, and it's how I feel now. (We're back together now).
