Must-See TV Show and Movie Panels to Keep on Your Radar

Last year, San Diego Comic-Con was notably subdued due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike and the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Consequently, this year, Comic-Con has a lot to make up for. Fortunately, the event will start strong with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, who never fail to bring their A-game.

This year’s Comic-Con takes place from July 25-28 in San Diego. Over 130,000 fans and critics are anticipated to attend, eager to get exclusive previews of upcoming TV shows and movies. Much of this content will likely be available online for everyone’s convenience.

Expect plenty of behind-the-scenes insights, announcements, and hopefully some trailers. Below are the panels to keep an eye on.
