SAN DIEGO – With less than two weeks to go until San Diego Comic-Con returns, officials have finally unveiled the schedule for the 2022 event, chock-full of panels held by some of the biggest television shows and movie studios.
The event is back in full swing after being canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and holding scaled-down festivities in 2021.
A few weeks back, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirmed that the studio would return to Hall H this year to discuss upcoming projects including “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummania,” and “The Marvel,” all set to debut in late 2022 and 2023.
Earlier this week, Comic-Con officials also confirmed that both Zachary Levi and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson would appear at a DC panel on July 22 to discuss their upcoming respective superhero films, “Shazam 2: Fury of the Gods,” and “Black Adam.”
Of course, Comic-Con also brings panelists from major networks and streaming services, looking to show off first looks and sneak peeks at upcoming projects. ABC’s “Abbott Elementary,” fresh off it receiving seven Emmy nominations, and CBS’ “Ghosts” will both have panels this year after successful freshman seasons.
Below, we have highlighted some of the biggest television shows and movies coming to Comic-Con this year and when you can see them. You can see a full list of all San Diego Comic-Con events here.
