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.
UFC and WWE champion, Ronda Rousey opened the panels with actor Dave Bautista as they discussed Ronda’s debut graphic novel Expecting the Unexpected and their journeys after stepping out of the ring. Eisner Award-winning artist Mike Deodato, Jr., and AWA chief creative officer Axel Alonso joined in to celebrate the book’s Kickstarter launch and the innovative creative process behind this powerful project.
Paramount Animation and Hasbro Entertainment panel for Transformers One, included Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, Keegan-Michael Key, along with the director, Academy Award-winner Josh Cooley, and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura.
The cast of Peacock’s horror-thriller Teacup offered a sneak peek at the upcoming series. The show follows a group of strangers in rural Georgia who must unite to survive a mysterious threat. Starring Yvonne Strahovski, Scott Speedman, and Chaske Spencer, Teacup is a terrifying tale of survival. Later, the cast of the Disney+ YA series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, joined a panel moderated by Jay Duplass to discuss the show’s successful first season.
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.
