On Saturday, fans can expect a Hall H appearance from Legendary Entertainment (details still TBA), as well as a That ’70s Show 25th anniversary panel, a look at Hulu’s Futurama reboot, a conversation among the Abbott Elementary cast and a discussion about William Shatner’s career, hosted by the icon himself. Similarly, some of Friday’s include Invincible, John Wick prequel The Continental, Rick & Morty, Solar Opposites and an appearance from Jamie Lee Curtis, who will be promoting her graphic novel Mother Nature, which is set to be turned into a horror film. Thursday’s panels include Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, Project K, What We Do in the Shadows, Archer and Anthony Mackie-starring Twisted Metal. Comic-Con launched in 1970 as a niche event for comic book fans and collectors, and over the past decade bloomed into a mainstream event with A-list stars and reveals from the biggest movies in the world. In some ways, this year may find Comic-Con going back to its roots. Hall H holds 6,500 people, while an estimated 160,000 attend each year. Still, while big panels at Hall H grab the most headlines, only a small percentage of attendees actually go to the convention for that. Marvel has long said it would not come unless it could truly deliver new material (it laid out expansive plans last year and has put several films on hold amid the writers strike), while DC is in a rebuilding phase as new studio bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran plot a new slate that will begin rolling out in 2025. Notably, this will be the first time since 2011 that neither Marvel Studios nor DC’s film division will host a Hall H panel. Comic-Con Averted an Apocalypse Despite Two Strikes (and Little Hollywood)
