DC has reꦿleased a new trailer for Watchmen: Cha🦩pter 1 – and we have chills.

In the newly released clip, we follow Rorschach as he recruits the Watchmen to investigate the sudden death of a fellow heroꦡ, The Comedian, in ꦍNew York City.

The movie was officially announced at San Diego Comic-Con in 2023, but updates were few and far between after that 澳🌃洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:until a trailer was releas𒁃ed last month. Chapter 1 is only half the st⛄💜ory, though – it'll be followed by Chapter 2 in 2025. 

Per the official synopsis: "In an al🧸ternate world, the murder of a government-sponsored superhero draws his outlawed colleagues out of retirement, into a mystery that threatens their 🌠lives and the world itself."

The voice cast includes Matthew Rhys as Nite Owl, Katee Sackhoff as Silk Spectre, Titus✅ Welliver as Rorschach, Troy Baker as Ozymandias, Michael Cerveris as D⭕r. Manhattan, and Rick D. Wasserman as The Comedian.

Based on Alan Moore's comic book series, Watchmen is set in an alternate universe 🌸where superheroes exist and changed the course of US history in the '40s, '50s, and '60s, including the outcome of the Vietnam War. The comics take place a couple of decades later, in the '80s, on the brink of World War 3, when most superheroes have now retired.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zack Snyder adapted Watchmen into a movie in 2009, which starred Billy Crudup, Patrick Wilson, Matthew Goode, Carla Gugino, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Lost showrunner Damon Lindelof created a limited series based on the comics for HBO in 2019. The cast inclu🐻ded Regina King, Tim Blake Nelson, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jeremy Irons, and Hong Chau.  

Watchmen: Chapter 1 is set to arrive on Digital on August 13, 2024. For more, check out our guide to the rest of this year's biggest 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies
