On the hoofs (sorry) of a batch of promo images, the first teaser trailer for Hulu’s Helstrom is now online after debuting at the show’s Comic-Con@Home panel. We also got an official premiere date of October 16.

The Footage introduces supernatural siblings Daimon (Tom Austen) and Ana (Sydney Lemmon) Helstrom, who are the son and daughter of a powerful serial killer and a very creepy institutionalized mother, Victoria (Elizabeth Marvel). Daimon is an ethics professor by day, but unleashes his dark side as a demon hunter at night. Ana works as an auctioneer, but has also dedicated her evenings to hunting down those who would pray on the weak.

Tonally, this definitely seems like a big departure from anything we’ve seen from Marvel TV in the past, and it actually looks quite promising. Plus, the teaser gets bonus points for utilizing Peter Gabriel’s cover of My Body Is a Cage.

Check out the trailer below along with the previously released stills, and let us know what you think in the comments.

Helstrom, which will debut as part of the “Huluween” lineup along with Books of Blood, Bad Hair, and Monsterland, will be the last remnant from the Jeph Loeb era of “Marvel Television.” The show will focus on Daimon and Ana Helstrom, the son and daughter of “a mysterious and powerful serial killer,” who track down “the terrorizing worst of humanity.”

In the comics, Daimon Hellstrom, a.k.a. Hellstorm, is the literal son of Satan, so this is clearly going to be quite a loose adaptation.

Do you guys plan on checking out Helstrom this October?

“A Zoom With Joss Whedon” was scheduled for Comic-Con@Home at 5pm PT today, but it’s been unexpectedly pulled from the virtual event’s schedule. Whereas other cancelled panels are still listed but with a message revealing that they’re no longer happening, this one has just vanished. 

If you try to visit its page on the event’s website, you get an error page, and the YouTube link remains private.

Very little had been revealed about Whedon’s panel, but it was thought he would address his career as well as upcoming HBO series, The Nevers. The unexplained disappearance comes weeks after Justice League star Ray Fisher levelled some pretty serious allegations at the filmmaker about his behaviour on the set of the DC Comics movie’s reshoots. 

However, with this panel being pre-recorded and not taking live questions from fans, there’s really no reason to think Whedon would have to address that or anything else he didn’t want to.

It’s possible the filmmaker is just looking to keep a low profile until the bad press surrounding Justice League – which has only worsened since it was revealed that Zack Snyder’s cut is coming to HBO Max – calms down a little. As of now, Whedon hasn’t ever really commented on the work he did on the movie.

For now, that will continue to be the case, and we’ll let you know if this panel’s disappearance is explained.
