San Diego Comic Con 2015: The Nerd-ening II...

Jul 22, 2015 03:20

There were plenty of actors pulling double duty.

*Henry Cavill did panels for “Batman v. Superman: DoJ” and “The Man from U.N.C.L.E”

with castmates Armie Hammer, Alicia Vikander and Elizabeth Debecki

Hugh Jackman for “X-Men: Apocalypse and “Pan”

*Travis Fimmel was promoting “Vikings”

This TV son Alexander Ludwig turned tables on prankster Fimmel and pulled his chair out from under him

I watch "Vikings" on Twitter via its hashtag to catch reactions like this:

Destiel, Sterek, whatever. Last season of “Vikings” gave fans Athelstan/Ragnar. It was hilarious to watch the fans incredulous over kinda getting what they wanted and fans who are anti-shipping flounce.

Fimmel was down with the slash

Fimmel also did panel for “Warcraft”, the upcoming film of Duncan Jones who I think is successful enough now as the director of “Source Code” and “Moon” to not be introduced as David Bowie’s son, Duncan Jones.

Though, he is David's son

Duncan's “Warcraft” cast
Dominic Cooper, Ruth Negga, Ben Schetzner, Paula Patton, Travis Fimmel and Ben Foster. *EW incorrectly listed Ben Schetzner (“Pride” ) as Duncan Jones.

Negga, Cooper and Fimmel

Dominic should've been on the "Agent Carter" panel

~Cooper and his lady love Negga are also starring on the upcoming AMC comic turned series “Preacher” executive produced by Seth Rogen.

Duncan and his wife Rodene handed out Twinkies to people who slept outside awaiting entry to Hall H

Also in “Warcraft” is Rob Kazinsky of “Pacific Rim” and “True Blood”. Kazinsky did panels for “Warcraft” and Brave New Warriors. During the Brave New Warriors panel he apologized for his bad Aussie accent in “Pacific Rim” but what was more surprising than an actor admitting that they didn’t get something right, was his admission that he was sexually harassed for years by a powerful manager. Finally fed up, Kazinsky threatened to break the guy’s neck and the harassment stopped.

Kevin Durand of “The Strain” shared that his female friend was also sexually harassed.
Zachary Levi, Sam Heughan, Michael Cudlitz, Jordan Gavaris, Kevin Durand, and Robert Kazinsky

*Dylan O’Brien, who is apparently cosplaying Shaggy from "Scooby Doo", was on panels for “The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials” and “Teen Wolf” "Teen Wolf” was renewed for a sixth season in a move that is somewhat surprising.

I assumed this would be the last season, but knew it would be possible to go for a sixth since this season seems to be building up the new cast members as replacement s for the core cast with Dylan Sprayberry becoming the new titular character, Khylin Rhambo’s Liam as the new Stiles (and why wasn’t he at Comic Con?), Cody Saintgnue as the new Derek.

*Gwendoline Christie supported “Game of Thrones”, “Hunger Games: Mockingjay” and “Star Wars the Force Awakens”

Gwendoline’“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” character

*The exceedingly talented Toby Kebbell repped “The Fantastic Four” and “Warcraft”.

James McAvoy was on hand for “X-Men: Apocalypse” and “Doctor Frankenstein’ with the transient formerly known as Daniel Radcliff

*Comic Con is not only about superhero properties and waiting in excruciatingly long lines just to see something that will be posted on the interwebs faster than a speeding bullet. No, Comic Con is also about people meeting people.

Like…

Brandon Routh and his separated at birth brother “Grimm”s David Guintoli

I can see it

Guintoli told a reporter that he and Routh are built so similarly but he’s just shorter than Brandon and that if they were Russian stacking dolls he’d be inside of him. I think I love that visual of David being inside Brandon who I think is a tentative and sensitive lover who probably cries and holds your hand tightly as he climaxes.

Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk

Norman Reedus meeting Natalie Dormer

And meeting Jessica Chastain

Why the shag hairdo?

Jennifer Lawrence meeting Bill Murray

Sophie Turner meeting Oscar Isaac

Michael B. Jordan meeting ‘X-Men: Apocalypse” Alexandra Shipp who plays Storm

*Friendly rivalry in absentia by “Outlander”s Sam Heughan and Colin O’Donaghue of “Once Upon a Time”. Sam beat out Colin in a fan favorite poll and Colin tweeted a vid about Sam donning his mascara. Sam tweeted back that he’d do it only if Colin wore a kilt.

The closest thing to Colin being in a kilt

But Sam isn’t through trying to get Colin undressed. The flirt.

For now he’s moved onto another pirate: Zach McGowen of “Black Sails”.

The Others

”American Horror Story: Hotel” was repped by Angela Basset, Evan Peters, Matt Bomer and Sarah Paulson and Kathy Bates

Kathy also sat on the “Woman Who Kick Ass” panel

Scream Queens cast
*Abigail Breslin, Emma Roberts, Jamie Lee Curtis, Keke Palmer, Billie Lourde (Carrie Fisher and Bryan Lourde’s daughter) and Lea Michele.
