The redband trailer has been revealed for DC’s Watchmen Chapter I, the animated feature adaptation of the graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. The project was first announced during San Diego Comic-Con 2023.

The voice cast includes Matthew Rhys (The Americans) as Dan Dreiberg, Katee Sackhoff (The Mandalorian) as Laurie Juspeczyk, Titus Welliver (Lost) as Walter Kovacs, Michael Cerveris (The Gilded Age) as Jonathan Osterman, and Troy Baker (The Last of Us) as Adrian Veidt.
