New York Comic Con 2017: 10 Major Anouncements That Must Happen

by Ewan Paterson

1. Avengers: Infinity War Trailer

Again, it's majorly doubtful that we'll be seeing anything Infinity War related until next year at the earliest, but, in any case, a public trailer would be just the announcement to send NYCC into overdrive (and to compete with Sunday's Justice League trailer too).

By now everyone, their aunt and their uncle will have seen the bootleg copy of the trailer shown at SDCC earlier in July, but even if it's just the same one as before, it'd be a perfect surprise for Marvel fans to get stuck into. Like, it's out there already Marvel - why not just show it as it was meant to be seen?

Regardless of whether or not Marvel do or don't show an Avengers trailer, there's a whole bunch on display at NYCC this year, with TV series, comics and films aplenty all dominating the showfloor throughout the weekend.

Whether it's Marvel or DC who come out on top is another question entirely, but if an Infinity War trailer were to drop, then well... the contest would be over, basically. Beardy Cap alone ensures that victory.

What are you hoping to see at NYCC 2017? Let us know in the comments below and be sure to check out WhatCulture Comics on YouTube, where we'll be looking at all the best bits from the convention starting Friday morn.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
