‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ Trailer Showcases Creatures and Humor [SDCC]
From Paramount and eOne, the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves live-action movie just unveiled its rogue gallery of characters and monsters in a brand new trailer that debuted at its San Diego Comic-Con panel.
The new trailer leans into the comedy, promising an epic adventure with creatures, magic, and humor. Think a buddy comedy with fantastical monsters over serious fantasy, with a whole lot of dragons.
The Dungeons & Dragons movie will release in theaters in March 2023.
The film follows “a charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves brings the rich world and playful spirit of the legendary roleplaying game to the big screen in a hilarious and action-packed adventure.”
The film features an original story but is set in the Forgotten Realms, an iconic fantasy setting central to the Dungeons & Dragons game franchise and beyond.
The cast is impressive; Chris Pine stars alongside Michelle Rodriguez (Resident Evil), Justice Smith (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom), Hugh Grant, and Sophia Lillis (It, It Chapter Two, Gretel & Hansel). Each of them will take on an iconic class featured within the realm of Dungeons & Dragons. Pine, for example, takes on the Bard, and Lillis represents the Druid, a magical entity with the ability to transform into an OwlBear.
Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, co-directors of 2018’s hilarious comedy Game Night and writers of Spider-Man: Homecoming, are directing.
Goldstein and Francis Daley also wrote the script.
Designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, Dungeons & Dragons was first published in 1974. Between 2000 and 2012, three Dungeons & Dragons films were released. Dungeons & Dragons was first adapted to theaters in 2000 and starred Jeremy Irons and Thora Birch.

Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
