Comic-Con 2010: Sons of Anarchy Confirms Motorcycles, Fighting

Rev up your bikes, because on September 7th Sons of Anarchy is going to hit the pavement with a vengeance.

The Biker Boys were sadly granted only half a panel, enough time to show off a quick trailer, and chat with cast members Ron Perlman, Katey Sagal, Charlie Hunnam, and creator Kurt Sutter, none of whom seemed entirely too enthused to be there.

Then again, Ron Perlman never seems to be in a good mood, except when he's joking about preferring his luxurious Mercedes to Clay's hog.

Here's what we gleamed from the trailer and talkback:

• Lots of Motorcycle action, chases and fight sequences...which isn't surprising.
• Jax exasperatedly claiming "This has to be the end."
• The season will pick up three or four days after the last finale, dealing with the emotional consequences of Abel's kidnapping, and the legal consequences of Gemma being on the lam.
• The civil war between Clay and Jax will be put on hold for the time being, as Jax needs Clay to help guide him through this difficult time.
• "It's all hands on deck," regarding the tone of the upcoming season.
• Charlie and Ron joked about needing time to recover from that last fight scene.
• At least four episodes will be set in Belfast, Ireland tracking down the IRA.
• Sutter indicated that he'd like to delve into backstories, particularly John Teller's, but would never use flashbacks to do so.
• Having lost their prospect, the Sons will gain three new prospects half-way through the season.
• You have to love Ron Perlman addressing a fan's inquiry about upcoming plots, by saying spoilers would be a disservice to the storytelling they're trying to do, and balancing it with "just watch the god damn thing."
• We'll get a little more of the backstory between Gemma and John.
• Gemma will indeed be kicking much more ass, and "getting very familiar with a gun."  Go Leela!

Keep the motors running, Sons!
