The San Diego Comic-Con kicked off its 2024 edition this week, the premiere event for super fans of all things comics, movies, television, gaming, and book enthusiasts.
This event is renowned as the largest comic convention globally and has seen its popularity soar over the years, attracting creators, actors, and industry professionals.
Today’s Panels include the cast of Amazon’s The Boys and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, followed by AMC’s The Walking Dead City, The Walking Dead Book of Carol, and Dexter: Origins.
Day one featured Ronda Rousey and Dave Bautista who discussed Rousey’s new graphic novel and their post-fighting careers. The Transformers: One panel featured Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, Keegan-Michael Key, and the film’s creators. The casts of the horror series Teacup and the YA series Percy Jackson and the Olympians also presented at the event.
Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine Celebration of Life was full of surprises for fans. First, fans met Kevin Feige, Shawn Levy, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and Emma Corrin with thunderous applause and then were rocked off their feet by a surprise screening of “Deadpool & Wolverine” in its entirety. After the film, special guest stars Dafne Keen, Chris Evans, Jennifer Garner, Channing Tatum and Wesley Snipes walked on stage and were greeted by a roar from the surprised crowd.
The evening ended with Marvel Studios’ 11-minute-long drone show, featuring 2396 drones that formed the image of Deadpool and then Wolverine. With the Wolverine display, the record for the Guinness World Record for the largest aerial display of a fictional character formed by multirotors/drones was broken.
Downtown San Diego transforms into a pop culture wonderland with carnivals, factories, pop-up restaurants, activations, and more as studios unveil their latest projects.
Last year’s convention had a markedly different atmosphere due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA dual strikes, which prevented talent from attending and promoting their work. The actors will be out in full force as celebrations kick off Wednesday, July 24 through Sunday, July 28.
Check back for the latest photos and updates from the mecca of conventions.
