Due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, prominent actors at New York Comic-Con 2023 were unable to promote their shows. Instead, they engaged in alternative discussions. For instance, David Tennant chose to talk about the Scottish play rather than his upcoming return as the Tenth Doctor later this year. Ewan McGregor, on the other hand, shared his expertise on making the perfect cup of tea, diverting from the topic of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Fortunately, the editors' guild was not on strike, so attendees still had the opportunity to enjoy a plethora of trailers unveiled during the event. Here's a roundup of the trailers released at New York Comic-Con 2023.
