20th Century Fox was the last studio at Comic-Con 2015 to show the Hall H audience a preview of their hottest films.

First up was Wes Ball’s MAZE RUNNER: SCORCH TRIALS where they showed the audience assembled in Hall H the new trailer. The scenes included a weird plant monster – think zombies with plant parts.

Ball said of the sequel, “A sense of brotherhood has always been very important to our story. You can watch these two movies back to back, and it’s really just this awesome 3 hour epic!”

Next up was the horror film VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN.

Written by Max Landis, when Dr. Victor Frankenstein (James McAvoy) and his trusted assistant Igor (Daniel Radcliffe) go too far in their noble attempts to aid humanity, Victor’s obsession turns to madness. He then unleashes his final creation –a monstrous figure that holds unimaginable terror for anyone its path.

James McAvoy said, “Like Liam Neeson in the film Taken, Victor realizes that Igor has a very particular set of skills.”

VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN opens on November 25, 2015.

FANTASTIC FOUR next took to the stage. After the the cast talked about their characters, Fox debuted the thrilling new trailer. “What I loved about the film is the family aspect about it,” said Kate Mara. “He’s the muscle of the group, but I also consider him the heart, ” said Jamie Bell on playing The Thing. “It’s like living out a childhood dream, being a huge comic book fan, & playing such an iconic character,” exclaimed Michael B. Jordan. FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy. The film hits theaters on August 7.
