Comic-Con audiences got a sneak peek at the first footage from the upcoming sci-fi epic Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets.

Model-turned-actress Cara Delevigne was joined by director Luc Besson to preview the film on the opening day of the convention in San Diego.

Luc, best known for his movies The Fifth Element and Lucy, told the audience he had been obsessed with Valerian – based on the long-running French comic series Valerian And Laureline – since he was 10 years old.

The film stars Dane DeHaan as Valerian and Cara as Laureline, two time-travelling agents investigating galactic landscapes.

The 6,500-seater Hall H was treated to seven minutes of raw footage from the film which hits cinemas next summer.

It is Luc’s first sci-fi outing in over a decade and has reportedly cost 180 million dollars to make.
