If you logged onto Facebook at any point this weekend, chances are you were overwhelmed by a flurry of Comic-Con movie trailers shared in earnest by your Facebook friends. In this hubbub of everybody shouting over each other to rep whatever fandom they belong to, it can be too easy to be paralyzed by fear that you’re missing something. But have no fear. Now that the dust has settled from the barrage of information thrown at us from San Diego, you can kick back, relax and watch every trailer released, right here.

Blair Witch

Release date: Sept. 16, 2016

Seventeen years after the first brave souls entered the woods, some more stupid college kids follow after them, led by the brother of the original movie’s leading lady. To say that’s a bad idea doesn’t even begin to cut it.

Doctor Strange

Release date: Nov. 4, 2016

Everybody’s favorite Tumblr boyfriend, Benedict Cumberbatch, stars as Doctor Stephen Strange. Marvel continues to round out its cinematic universe with the magical Doctor Strange, its most supernatural hero to date.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Release date: Nov. 18, 2016

We’re finally able to dive back into the wizarding world. “Fantastic Beasts” follows Newt Scamander, played by Eddie Redmayne, as he tracks down some—you guessed it—fantastic beasts that he’s unintentionally released on 1920’s New York City. Get your shit together, Newt. Literally.

Justice League

Release date: Nov. 17, 2017

With DC’s answer to Marvel’s “Avengers,” “The Justice League,” the hype team is already working its magic with this trailer. Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne, fresh off his battle with the Man of Steel in “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice,” is trying his luck recruiting other DC universe heroes. Color me cautiously optimistic.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword

Release date: March 24, 2017

Charlie Hunnam looks a lot different than we’re used to seeing him in “Sons of Anarchy.” Forget biker gangs, he’s moved on to sword-wielding in medieval times. Guy Ritchie directs an updated version of the fabled tale, and I can’t tell if it’ll be a pass or not.

Kong: Skull Island

Release date: March 10, 2017

Taylor Swift’s latest boy-toy has bigger problems to deal with than Kim and Kanye. Tom Hiddleston stars alongside Brie Larsen in another revival of the King Kong legend. Even if it ends up sucking, at least we get to see Hiddleston in something other than his “I <3 T.S." bro tank.

The Lego Batman Movie

Release date: Feb. 10, 2017

In case you couldn’t wait another two years to see your favorite characters in bite-size Lego form, Lego Batman is here for you. In this trailer, we get to meet the boy wonder in tights, Robin, who has been missing from every other recent iteration of mopey Bruce Wayne’s life.

Sausage Party

Release date: Aug. 12, 2016

THIS IS NOT A KIDS MOVIE. In case you hadn’t gathered that from watching the trailer. Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig and Jonah Hill star as profanity-laden, sexual innuendo-flinging food items hoping to survive their impending digestive doom. It looks pretty funny, but promise me you won’t take your nephew to see it.

Snowden

Release date: Sept. 16, 2016

Edward Snowden is either a threat to national security or a national hero, depending on who you ask. The film, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the notorious whistleblower, screened at Comic-Con with a special guest appearance—via webcam from a secret location, obviously—by Snowden himself. For those of us not lucky enough to be in attendance, we have to wait to see the political thriller until this fall.

Wonder Woman

Release date: June 2, 2017

It’s finally less than a year until we get to see Wonder Woman back on the big screen where she belongs. And in her own right, not attached to the actual sausage fest that was “Dawn of Justice.” The Amazonian princess is finally getting the treatment she deserves, showing that not all is lost for the DC universe.
