Teen Wolf: The Movie, Wolf Pack debut big NYCC trailers

The first pack was united and the other one was unattached. It was the Teen Wolf: The Movie & Wolf PackDouble panel from the 2022 New York Comic Con showed footage of the movie and the spinoff series. Both will be premiering on Paramount Plus January 26, 2023.

The panel featured Jeff Davis (showrunner), returning cast members Tyler Posey and Crystal Reed as well as Colton Haynes and Shelley Hennig as well as Dylan Sprayberry and Khylin Rasmbo. Also, Vince Mattis, Amy Workman, were present.

Not every cast member from the beloved MTV series is returning for the film, with Dylan O’Brien and Arden Cho notably absent, but creator Davis said the one character he insisted on revisiting was Allison, played by Reed. “I’d always said that if we were gonna do a movie we would have to bring Crystal back,” he said.

This movie is set 15 years later than the original. “Scott McCall is not a teen wolf anymore,” said Posey. “He’s a 30-year-old wolf.” That means he’ll be moodier and broodier than ever before. “Beacon Hills carries a lot of weight for Scott. Both physically and emotionally. He’s constantly on edge trying to save the world, trying to be the true Alpha.” In that time jump, however, he took a break from trying to be the hero and lost himself. “It’s the first time we’ve seen him [try to be a normal human] since the pilot,” said Posey, and he’s “dealing with depression, loneliness, and anxiety” for the first time.

He’s not the only character who has changed significantly in that time jump. A scene from the movie was shown to panel attendees. The scene was supposed to be introduced by Tyler Hoechlin, who unfortunately got stuck in traffic en route to New York’s Javits Center. It showed his character “in a whole new light,” according to Davis. That new light is fatherhood and mentorship to Eli, Mattis’ character who is “bringing the teen back to Teen Wolf,” according to him. You can see it below.

The cast talked more about how they’ve grown since the show ended and what it was like to come back. Workman gushed over being accepted into the group and also dropped the tidbit that while she wasn’t a fan, she did study Teen WolfActing class

The love fest was then cut short to accommodate Davis’ second lupine project, Wolf Pack. All of the new series’ stars were present at the panel, including Tyler Lawrence Gray and Rodrigo Santoro as well as Bella Shepard (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Armani Jackson, Bella Shepard (Bella Shepard), Chloe Rose Robertson, Tyler Lawrence Gray) It wouldn’t be a Teen WolfProperty without at least one Tyler

Based on the little that we do know Wolf PackIs reminiscent of Fear The Walking Dead’s relationship to The Walking DeadThe early years. It’s a spinoff in the sense that the two shows are set in the same world but are tonally and thematically different. Wolf PackThe story is about four teens who meet up after an attack by werewolves occurs in California. The series’ details are still very secret so they released a teaser trailer.

The panel felt as if they were dropping breadcrumbs about their characters. This is perhaps appropriate for the characters, who are metaphorically and literally lost in the woods. Geller portrays Krisin Ramsey who is an arson investigator and has supernatural knowledge. Santoro plays a park ranger named Garrett Briggs, who is “constantly in conflict with the responsibilities of fatherhood,” and would do anything for his kids, who in the actor’s own words have “a very special connection to nature.” Those kids are Luna and Harlan, played by newcomers Robertson and Gray. Jackson and Shepard play Everett, Blake and the other kids.

The words the young cast used to describe their characters include “anxious,” “lonely,” “not really happy” and “in denial.” This sense of isolation and frank exploration of mental health is what compelled Geller to sign onto another project about monsters years after Buffy, The Vampire Slayer, after drawing parallels between how these characters experience the world and how we’ve lost a sense of connection in the digital and pandemic era. “Utilizing the supernatural is how we explain the things we cannot really understand,” she said. “The stories that we can’t really grasp, or the ones that would be too depressing in real life and too upsetting. We use those to scare ourselves into understanding.” In Wolf PackThat scary thing about not being surrounded by a pack is the fact that it can be very difficult to cope.

Despite being isolated and even at odds on the show, however, the cast talked about bonding before filming even started — something that Davis said happened on Teen Wolf as well with Posey and O’Brien. Davis didn’t share any other details about how the two shows may or may not be connected. That leaves us with more details to reveal on January 26. Teen Wolf: The Movie Wolf Pack Watch it streaming.
