But does Robert Redford become President in this universe?

Ok, so Wolk’s NOT just a senator after all. He’s a presidential candidate.

Also, nice to get confirmation on Irons. Dare I hope he’ll follow Matthew Goode’s lead so I can get the return of his Die Hard 3 accent??

I'm digging the black and yellow.

Also bigger news... #SquidConfirmed

"Squidfalls" lol. They're gonna say that with very straight faces a lot on this show, aren't they?

With the mention of it being worldwide, I guess they combined the movie and the comic. Squid from the comic and multiple cities rather than just New York from the movie.

So this is an alternate realty Watchmen, with different characters? Why even call it Watchmen?

The comic is already about an alternate reality.

Exclusive: Jeremy Irons is Older Ozymandias in the 'Watchmen' TV Series, Jean Smart Joins the Cast as an FBI Agent

Wonder if they'll make him an obvious villain like Snyder's film or less obvious like the comic.

Irons as Ozzy is wonderful casting. Guess his services on the "Batman" franchise are no longer required (he was the best part of those movies, including JL)

How does this prevent him from playing Alfred? Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is also playing a role in this show and he's playing Black Manta in Aquaman.

Watchmen: Tim Blake Nelson Reveals His Character In HBO Series – Exclusive

“My character's name is Looking Glass, and it's a really interesting, intriguing character,” Nelson told Empire. “I don't really completely understand him, and that's intentional. Damon Lindelof metes out facts about your character as you go along […] so I'm learning as I go along who this guy is, and trying to... It's almost like fresco painting. The clay is always wet.”

For all we know, when the next Batman movie starts (and they’re saying it won’t be any sooner than 2021) it might not be Irons as Alfred anymore.

I wonder when the First Trailer will hit the Web!

 

[StarLord]

Too early to say yet. HBO have quite a busy 2019 planned - final seasons of Game of Thrones and Veep, plus the Deadwood movie.

I think Watchmen might be looking at a October/November premiere. SDCC would be the ideal place to drop the first trailer.
