San Diego Comic-Con 2022 Hall-H fever was off to a great start with the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves trailer presentation. While anticipation was high for the trailer reveal, star Hugh Grant’s charismatic presence during the panel stole the spotlight. “I’ve always been an enthusiastic Dungeon Master,” said Grant and hopefully he was referencing D&D.

#Preymovie absolutely slays. By setting it 300 years ago and stripping away the alien hunter’s high tech hunting gadgetry, we get a primal David vs Goliath story. Amber Midthunder is fierce, and Datoka Beavers rocks in his debut! It’s just an awesome gritty B-movie pic.twitter.com/ZaNsIXYSDc

The Predator In #PreyMovie is Gladiatorial-Like in how it acts, moves & executes. A true warrior that lives to hunt. It's made abundantly clear thanks to the movie that THIS is the BEST Predator we've seen on our screens atleast since the 1987 original movie. pic.twitter.com/OP9HwgjsWi

#PreyMovie kicks so much ass. A terrific, visceral crowd-pleaser with some kills that will make action-twitter lose their shit. Our showing was capped off by a much deserved standing ovation. It’s kind of criminal this isn’t getting theater play. Good movie dog too. pic.twitter.com/6t8BkSuMA5

.@DannyTRS’s #PreyMovie is terrific! A sharp survivalist monster movie mixed with genre IP (along the lines of THE REVENANT meets PREDATOR), blending familiar with new lore. Strong sense of character, mounting suspense & LOTS of gore. @AmberMidthunder is captivating & compelling. pic.twitter.com/0m6jCpCNTN
