As Vox is reporting, SDCC was the site of the new Doctor Who trailer, where the debut of the first woman Doctor was unveiled. Fans have been absolutely ecstatic about the trailer, tweeting their excitement. During the Doctor Who panel at SDCC, Jodie Whittaker was candid about her feelings on being the first female doctor on the show.
“It will be exciting when women aren’t treated as a genre, but as a cast member. If you lead a show, it doesn’t mean it’s for women, which I think always happens”
Funko announced they are releasing a slew of new vinyl figures. The extremely-collectible figures include new pieces for characters in Kingdom Hearts , Disney Films, Marvel Studios, Doctor Who , and Hanna Barbara, among numerous others.
As reported by the Inquisitr , horror films were in full effect at San Diego Comic-Con. Halloween (2018) received a new poster, IT: Chapter Two premiered its first footage for fans, and hot off the success of Joe Bob Briggs’ internet-breaking special The Last Drive-In , Shudder was present at the convention promoting their recently-acquired series, Channel Zero, alongside the horrifying figure from the series, known simply as “The Tooth Child.” Fans were both mortified and impressed.
