San Diego Comic-Con 2025 was filled to the brim with movies and TV shows we can’t wait to watch, but there are a few that we wish we could use time travel to watch right now…

From Peacemaker Season 2 to Alien: Earth to Predator: Badlands to King of the Hill and more, we’ve picked the eight films and series we can’t stop thinking about. We’d love to know what you are most looking forward to and what you loved the most from SDCC, so be sure to let us know below and then check out our roundup of the biggest San Diego Comic-Con trailers!

Peacemaker Season 2

Making peace with yourself is harder than it looks.

Peacemaker is returning for its second season on August 21, and we couldn’t be more excited to see how John Cena’s Chris Smith jumps from the DCEU to the DCU. We caught a small glimpse of that at SDCC, and we also learned that the show takes place one month after the events of Superman.

We loved Peacemaker’s first season, giving it a 9/10. We said it was James Gunn’s “best work to date” and that, “while its abrasive characters and gory spectacle might turn some viewers off, they run parallel with a deep emotional core and pointed critiques that are powerfully delivered as part of a well-conceived and twisty plot.”

Alien: Earth

Alien: Earth is set to be released on August 12 and will see the space vessel Maginot crash-land on Earth with Xenomorph samples on board. We were able to see the first episode of Alien: Earth at SDCC and we learned a ton about the new show that has us even more excited/terrified of what’s to come.

From Xenomorphs to Synthetics to Hybrids to Facehuggers jumping out of eggs, this prequel looks to be packed with everything we love about this franchise, and we don’t have to wait long to see how it all plays out.

Predator: Badlands

Predator: Badlands follows the tale of a young Predator outcast named Dek and a Synthetic name Thia who forge an aliance to survive on a dangerous and remote planet. At SDCC, we learned this whole Predator carrying an Android idea was inspired by Chebacca carrying C-3PO in The Empire Strikes Back, and we just think that’s awesome.

That’s not all, as we also learned that this film also takes inspiration from Shadow of the Colossus, Half-Life 2, Uncharted, and God of War, and these bits of news gives us more and more hope this will be a worthy entry in the long-running franchise.

IT: Welcome to Derry

IT: Welcome to Derry is a prequel that looks just as terrifying as the original. At SDCC, we saw more of this series with some footage that explores the origins of how the entity known as IT came to take on the form of Pennywise the Clown. Future seasons may go further back in time to show more of this twisted universe created by Stephen King.

As for the footage, it was set in 1962 and shows a boy getting in trouble at a movie theater. What follows is a bit disturbing so we’ll let you read more here, but suffice to say, we see more nightmares headed our way from Welcome to Derry when it arrives in October 2025.

Project Hail Mary

Project Hail Mary was one of the most anticipated movies at SDCC and what we saw there has us even more excited for the film, which is based on the beloved book by The Martian author Andy Weir. We saw several scenes featuring Ryan Gosling’s Ryland Grace, who is a teacher that was recruited for a mission to space to save Earth from a danger caused by a strange cosmic event.

We also got our first look at Rocky the alien, and the fans in Project Hail Mary’s panel were very excited about this. We have to wait a little for Project Hail Mary as it won’t arrive until March 20 of next year, but all the signs are pointing to this movie shaping up to be something special.

Gen V Season 2

Gen V is returning for its sophmore season on September 7 and it will be bringing some fan-favorite characters from The Boys with it, including Starlight, Black Noir, and The Deep. We also learned of the surprising casting of Ethan Slater as Thomas Godolkin and saw a trailer that teases how our characters are reacting to the big changes that happened in the last season of The Boys.

We here at IGN are excited for more episodes of this spin-off of The Boys as, in our 8/10 review of Gen V Season 1, we said, “Prime Video hit the jackpot with Gen V, a spinoff that asserts its dominant presence as both a standalone series and in-universe continuation.”

King of the Hill

A new season of King of the Hill is headed our way on August 4 and we learned a lot about these new episodes at SDCC — and even got to see the second one. The episode was titled “The Beer Story” and see Hank retired and starting to brew beer at home. We also got to see how much Arlen has changed (and how it hasn’t) in 15 years, and this is all making that wait for early August even harder.

For more, you can check out our chat with the creators on how the revival will feature more cursing but propane is “still the main character” and how cultural authenticity drove a recasting decision. Also, watch the series’ voice cast deliver iconic movie quotes as their characters and see how Hank would react to Fortnite, Lady Gaga, and Ozempic.

God of War TV Show

God of War is one of our favorite gaming franchises here at IGN and we got to talk to Ronald D. Moore, the executive producer and showrunner on the Prime Video adaptation, who assured fans that “the tone of the show is trying to emulate the tone of the game.”

You can read our entire chat by clicking on the link above, but a lot of care is being put into giving both Kratos and Atreus their time to shine, and it appears their relationship as father and son will remain core to this series. Moore at the helm is also great because his history with series like Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine alongside Battlestar Galactica gives us all the confidence in the world that this project is in good hands.
