HBO has released a full - duration trailer for Damon Lindelof’sWatchmenTV series in connexion to San Diego Comic - Con 2019 . The upcoming show is based in the same universe as theWatchmencomic Scripture , but does n’t retell the events of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons ' original groundbreaking ceremony tally on the place from 1986 - 87 . Details beyond that have been tough to come by so far , other than the serial publication takes place in the present - sidereal day version ofWatchmen ’s alternate realness ( where masked vigilantes are outlawed ) .
In a fashion , though , HBO has been just as mysterious with its merchandising forWatchmenas the show itself . The teaserthat drop down online back in May was full of puzzling mental imagery ( police officer wearing yellow face masks , members of what seems to be a cult that embraces the philosophy - and style sense - ofthe deceased vigilante Rorschach ) and offer glimpses of the characters wager by Regina King , Don Johnson , and Jeremy Irons , but little in the way of concrete details . If anything , though , the strategy has succeed in pique the sake of comic book of account fans eager to con more .

Now , withSDCC 2019fully underway , a brand - new three arcminute trailer forHBO’sWatchmenhas made its path online . you may check it out in the space below .
The SDCC trailer is a snatch more extroverted aboutWatchmen ’s plot and confirm thatKing ’s theatrical role , Angela Abraham , is a cop who turns to tire a mask herself when the Rorschach fad get attack law officer . In addition , the prevue footage let in glimpses of a newspaper headline take that Veidt - presumably , Adrian Veidt aka . Ozymandias - is dead and child cut back up in Dr. Manhattan masks . However , seeing as iron isheavily rumored to be playing the older Veidt , there may be some subterfuge at play here . And speaking of the big , blue , super - powered being : the trailer reveals thatManhattan is still living on Marsafter all these years , before he suddenly appears back on land near the very end . As to the player who plays him , well , that ’s a good dubiousness …
Overall , this an exciting preview that suggest theWatchmenuniverse ( a position where Richard Nixon was the U.S. president for several terms , as one special shot here reminds everyone ) will be just as mess up in Lindelof ’s show as it was in Moore and Gibbons ' comic strip . Watchmenalso seems like the perfect vehicle for Lindelof to continue fork out the same style of harrowing storytelling and exploration of themes about morality , religion , and scientific discipline that he brought to his cult hit HBO seriesThe Leftovers . do it to say , this is one to ( pardon the wording)watchout for later this year .
