Thanks to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, the big-name actors at New York Comic Con 2023 can’t plug their shows. David Tennant talked about the Scottish play rather than his reprisal of the Tenth Doctor coming out later this year. Ewan McGregor discussed the perfect cup of tea. “The best way to make a cup of tea is in a teapot,†he said instead of talking about Obi-Wan Kenobi. “[Boil water] less than three minutes, you got a good color but not a good taste. More than three minutes, you get both.†But the editors guild isn’t on strike, so we still got plenty of trailers! Attendees got the first look at a new The Walking Dead spinoff, a new Dragon Ball anime, and kaiju! Kaiju! Kaiju! Here are all the trailers released during New York Comic Con 2023.
