We had a chance to take an exclusive look at the film’s full trailer during the Paramount presentation at this year’s CinemaCon. From sweeping landscapes to visually stunning special effects and fight choreography, this film is looking to bring this Black-led epic fantasy to audiences in an impactful way that’s reminiscent of Black Panther.
