It's time to return to Beacon Hills! Actors Tyler Posey and Tyler Hoechlin returned to San Diego Comic-Con along with showrunner and creator of Teen Wolf Jeff Davis to present their fans with an exclusive first look at the upcoming Teen Wolf movie. The trailer teased a lot of surprising looks into what has happened in this not-so-sleepy town since we last left off on the show.
The trailer brings us back into the life of Scott McCall (Posey), who still remains the Alpha Werewolf. Davis confirmed in our interview that the movie is set in 2026 and Scott is 33-years-old. Of course, Beacon Hills consists of more than just Scott. There are many familiar faces, including a couple of surprising returns! The series brings back Tyler Hoechlin, Holland Roden, Shelley Hennig, Linden Ashby, JR Bourne, Colton Haynes, Melissa Ponzio, Crystal Reed, Orny Adams, Seth Gilliam, Ryan Kelley, Dylan Sprayberry, Khylin Rhambo, and Ian Bohen.
On top of the old cast are new faces, including Nobi Nakanishi, Amy Lin Workman, and Vince Mattis, who is playing Derek's (Hoechlin) son. For those familiar with the show, obviously a couple big characters are missing. Dylan O'Brien chose not to return to the movie, and we spoke with Davis about how they managed to fill the hole that Stiles leaves behind. Also Arden Cho will not be appearing in the movie after learning that she would be paid a significantly smaller amount than her co-stars. The official synopsis of Teen Wolf: The Movie is as follows:
In Teen Wolf: The Movie, a full moon rises in Beacon Hills, and with it a terrifying evil has emerged. The wolves are howling once again, calling for the return of banshees, werecoyotes, hellhounds, kitsunes, and every other shapeshifter in the night. But only a werewolf like Scott McCall, no longer a teenager yet still an alpha, can gather both new allies and reunite trusted friends to fight back against what could be the most powerful and deadliest enemy they've ever faced.
Aside from Teen Wolf, Davis also brought in actor Sarah Michelle Gellar to talk about his new series Wolf Pack. Davis confirmed with Collider that the series is mean to be in its own universe, separate from Teen Wolf and that the rules and story of the world would be different. At the panel, Gellar will be starring in the series based on books by Edo Van Belkom and also acting as an executive producer as well. The series also stars Armani Jackson, Bella Shepard, Chloe Rose Robertson, and Tyler Lawrence Gray.
The description for Wolf Pack is:
Based on the book series by Edo Van Belkom, Wolf Pack follows a teenage boy and girl whose lives are forever changed when a California wildfire awakens a terrifying supernatural creature. Gellar stars as arson investigator Kristin Ramsey, a highly regarded expert in her field and no stranger to personal loss, brought in by authorities to catch the teenage arsonist who started a massive wildfire which may have also led to the reawakening of a supernatural predator terrorizing Los Angeles.
