The stars and superheroe­s of the DC Comics universe were all the rage as Warner Bros. stormed Comic-Con in San Diego Saturday.

The studio paraded its biggest names before fans and unveiled new footage from films like "Aquaman," ''Shazam!" and "Wonder Woman 1984."

“Aquaman” star Jason Momoa, “Wonder Woman”'s Gal Gadot were joined by the likes of Chris Pratt, Johnny Depp and Nicole Kidman as attendees geeked out over the exclusive sneak peaks and surprise appearance­s.

Momoa, who stars as Aquaman, seemed to be as excited as those in the audience of 6,500, if not more so. The actor was downright giddy speaking about the film, which is over five years in the making.

"My heart is big and open," he said. "I'm really, really happy."

Zachary Levi introduced the first look at Warner Bros.'s "Shazam! " The film, slated to come out next April, will be the first fullblown comedy featuring a DC superhero the studio has produced. It tells the story of how a bullied 14year-old kid becomes a superhero after a fateful ride on the subway.
