Additionally, TV shows including Riverdale, Doctor Who and Homecoming dropped first looks.
James Gunn Fired By Disney: On Friday, the 51-year-old director was fired from heading up Guardians of the Galaxy 3 after old tweets sparked controversy when they were resurfaced by conservative pundits. In a statement, Gunn called the decade-old posts part of a "totally failed and unfortunate effort to be provocative." Since the announcement, two of the film franchise's stars, Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana, have seemingly addressed Gunn's ousting on social media. The director's brother, GOTG actor Sean Gunn, also expressed his support for his older sibling on Twitter, as did actress Selma Blair.
Prince George Turns 5: The eldest child of Prince William and Kate Middleton celebrated his birthday on Sunday. Over the weekend, the royal family released a new photo of the prince with a huge grin on his face.

In celebration, the "Back To You" singer's best friend, Taylor Swift, baked her a cake.
Ryan Reynolds Talks Brad Pitt's Deadpool 2 Cameo: The 41-year-old actor revealed to ET's Kevin Fraizer at Comic-Con that he convinced Pitt to make a blink-and-you-miss-it appearance in the Deadpool sequel with nothing more than a cup of coffee.
