At San Diego Comic Con this year, Warner Bros. and NewLine gave us a sneak peek into their upcoming horror slate including THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA.

The filmmakers and stars explained the legend of La Llorona to the non-Latinos in the crowd and introduced the actors.

Evangeline Lilly didn't need a suit in the first ANT-MAN to be a bad ass, but now she's suiting up as the Wasp in ANT-MAN AND THE WASP and she's a much better superhero than Scott's Ant-Man. Paul Rudd tells CineMovie there's a reason why Lilly's Wasp is better equiped to kick butt.
