Friday at San Diego Comic-Con offered fans a rare opportunity to hear from two of the people primarily responsible for major franchises, in the same place, on the same day. And that’s exactly what happened in both the Alien: Earth and Predator: Badlands panels, which both took place in Hall H.

Badlands is mostly revealed in the latest action-packed trailer, but an increasingly popular theory indicates that the movie could actually be a stealth reboot of the Alien vs. Predator franchise cross-over.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Comic-Con got a lot of Ryan and a little bit of Rocky at a panel on “Project: Hail Mary,” the forthcoming film that’s equal parts space adventure, real-science deep-dive, broad comedy and relationship drama.

The sci-fi drama "Project Hail Mary" debuted its first 5 minutes of a freaked-out Ryan Gosling at Comic-Con, plus showed a glimpse of alien pal Rocky.

The film serves as an adaptation of the Andy Weir novel of the same name, and stars Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace, a middle school teacher who just so happens to have a doctorate in molecular biology and becomes the reluctant member of a crew who is tasked with figuring out why the sun is dying.
