The first trailer of Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson’s 2026 sci-fi thriller Mercy was unveiled at New York Comic Con, and ScreenRant was in attendance.
The Mercy panel took place on Thursday, October 9. Pratt, co-star Kali Reiss, and director Timur Bekmambetov were all on hand, while Ferguson was not able to attend but sent a video message for the fans. The Mercy trailer played right at the top of the panel, before it was made available online.
The trailer opens with Pratt waking up strapped to a chair. Ferguson’s character appears on a screen, explaining the AI-powered judicial system in this story that serves as judge, jury, and executioner called Mercy. “Mercy keeps our city safe,” she says. As it turns out though, Pratt helped create the Mercy program, but now it is being used against him as he is accused of killing his wife. He has 90 minutes to prove his innocence before he is executed.
