Paramount Pictures delighted D&D fans at Comic-Con with a panel and official trailer for its upcoming feature film, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among thieves.

The film is a reboot of the film trilogy launched with Dungeons & Dragons (2000). This film bombed at the box office, earning just over $33 million worldwide against its $45 million budget. Additionally, it was ravaged by reviews for its poor quality, especially the cheap special effects), poor performance, and inept direction. This film still spawned D&D: Wrath of the Dragon God (2005), a standalone made-for-TV sequel; and D&D 3: The Book of Vile Darkness (2012), which was released direct to DVD.

The current reboot was first offered by Warner Bros. in 2013, but the announcement of the project quickly drew Hasbro's ire, as Hasbro was developing its own D&D movie with Universal Pictures. Hasbro sued and eventually settled, giving Warner Bros. the green light to continue. Eventually, Hasbro moved the project to Paramount, for a July 2021 release, and hired John Francis Daley and Jonathon Goldstein to write and direct. The release has been delayed twice, but Honor Among Thieves will finally see the light of day on March 3, 2023.
