2018 comic con Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Tom Felton gets really into the game he’s playing with co-star Mika Watkins inside the Variety Studio at 2018 San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday (July 19) in San Diego, Calif.

The two Origin stars battled it out playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Nintendo Switch before heading to the Pizza Hut lounge for some pizza. Tom is also pictured with Paul Wesley at the Fandom Party.

During an interview at the convention, Tom opened up about not wanting fans to compare his new character on the YouTube Red series to Draco Malfoy, who he famously played in Harry Potter.

“One was a wizard with crap parents, the other one is a petty drug dealer from California,” he shared. “I really could not line those up in any situation.”

Tom added, “I suppose they might look somewhat similar. My eyes are still the same color. Other than that, I wouldn’t really draw too much of a comparison. He’s not the friendliest person in the world, I suppose we could say that.”

He also shared his excitement for the series, which follows a group of strangers who find themselves stranded on a spacecraft bound for a distant planet.

“To see each character’s previous story, and largely speaking it’s in a different language, different setting, cultural background, really. I’ve never seen a show do that before, so I’m very excited to see how that lands for audiences.”

The trio was joined by co-stars Ian Verdun and Rena Owen while discussing the second season of their hit Freeform series.

During the panel, moderated by TLC‘s Chilli, the show’s EP Eric Wald teased more mermaids coming to Bristol Cove for season two.

“It will give us a chance to dig even more into the mermaid mythology,” he said (via Entertainment Weekly). “What their lives are like, what their social structures are like… We’re really interested in the smaller moments, too — like does a mermaid know how to laugh or know what laughter is?”

“We come in peace. I think the original was so wonderful, and they were really trailblazers and we could not be here without them,” Madeleine said during the panel (via IndieWire).

“There are core similarities with the original show… I hope [fans] embrace it… We want to honor it properly while bringing a modern twist. Just — come with us, see if you like it,” Sarah added.

The show is a dark and twisted reimagining of the most beloved fairy tales, including the Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel. He reunited with former Vampire Dairies boss Kevin Williamson for the show.

“I’m a man in my mid 30s. I was playing a 17-year-old and now I get to play a man in my 30s,” Paul explained with a laugh while talking the crowd.

“Sometimes words slip out that don’t have to be censored. This is very different from what you’ve seen from me on The Vampire Diaries. I’m a big fan of Kevin‘s. And I’m really interested in being on a streaming service. There are no inhibitions. It’s a great change.”
