Top 6 Moments of 2016 Comic-Con

SAN DIEGO, CA — The 2016 Comic-Con International has come and gone from San Diego — but not necessarily dismissed as another "pigment" of our imagination! The titan of all pop culture conventions has once again left an indelible winning stamp in its 47-year history.

These are the top six best moments that made the crowd say, "Lol!," "Whoa!," "Wow!," "Fantastic!" — not in any particular order — plus a photo recap of the four-day event.

1. Henry Cavill going incognito to prank Will Smith. The "Suicide Squad" star, Smith was so clueless while signing his autograph for the "Superman" star, Cavill.

2. Director Luc Besson with stars Dane Dehaan, Cara Delevingne and producer Viginie-Besson Silla wowing the crowd in Hall H. The cast and crew received a very uproarious applause and standing ovation for the first-ever look at the seven-minute footage of their sci-fi movie, “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets,” slated for a 2017 release date.

3. "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” star Eddie Redmayne giving out wands. The Oscar-winning Redmayne gave out at least 1,000 wands to crowds in Hall H and led them in casting a Lumos Maxima spell.

4. A heart-felt reassurance from the cast and crew of “The Walking Dead” that season 7 is poised to be mind-blowing and worth the wait. Last season’s cliffhanger finale has left many of their fans frustrated, asking the biggest question: “Whom does Negan kill?”

5. Announcement of the newest member of Marvel’s Superhero family. Oscar-winning actress Brie Larson was officially confirmed to play Captain Marvel.

6. Surprising attendees to the screening of Lionsgate’s film, “The Woods.” Attendees were clueless that “The Woods" is a fake-out title and that they were actually going to be screening “Blair Witch,” a sequel to 1999’s “The Blair Witch Project,” to be released on Sept. 16. Members of the crowd were speechless, counting their blessings!
