According to Deadline, Legendary Pictures will by hyping its Godzilla reboot, which will be out in 2014. The studio unveiled the Godzilla Experience, which is like a theme park attraction temporarily installed in downtown San Diego.
Warner Bros. said earlier this week that footage from Tom Cruise’s Edge of Tomorrow will be shown during its panel. That film was originally titled All You Need Is Kill and is out in June 2014. It will be interesting to see if WB also has news on DC Comics movies, since the only thing we’re sure about is that Man of Steel will get a sequel.
