New York Comic Con might not be able to match its San Diego counterpart when it comes to the sheer number of announcements, but the Javits Center is still home to some exciting reveals every year. That’s true once again in 2022, as a number of big hitters are in attendance this weekend. Keeping up with all of the news can be tough, so we thought it might be helpful to round up all of the best trailers from NYCC 2022 right here.
Best movie trailers from NYCC 2022
The Super Mario Bros. Movie: We were skeptical when Nintendo announced that the studio behind Minions and The Secret Life of Pets was going to make an animated Mario movie. The first trailer is good enough to suppress some of that skepticism. Jack Black sounds like he’s having a blast as Bowser, the characters look like they do in the games, and Charlie Day as Luigi might be the MVP. We just need to hear more of Chris Pratt’s Mario.
Violent Night: Fresh off fighting demons in the fourth season of Stranger Things, David Harbour will play a violent Santa Claus who takes it upon himself to fend off a team of mercenaries who are threatening to ruin Christmas. We were already all the way in, but the cherry on top is John Leguizamo as the main bad guy. This can’t come soon enough.

The Legend of Vox Machina (Season 2): “They’re rowdy, they’re ragtag, they’re misfits turned mercenaries for hire. Vox Machina is more interested in easy money and cheap ale than actually protecting the realm. But when the kingdom is threatened by evil, this boisterous crew realizes that they are the only ones capable of restoring justice. What began as a simple payday is now the origin story behind Exandria’s newest heroes.”
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: There’s just one episode left in the first season of Amazon’s Lord of the Rings prequel series. The last two episodes have been packed with huge revelations, but based on this finale trailer, we’ll finally meet Sauron next Friday.

So begins the story of the most powerful sorcerer’s school life filled with both friendship and hardship.”
By the Grace of the Gods (Season 2): “Only 39 years into a life full of bad luck, Ryoma Takebayashi passes away in his sleep!
