The con is on! Comic-Con returns bigger and badder than ever! After two years hiatus due to Covid and virtual cons, we are back! Here’s a roundup of all the things!
Netflix kicked off the con this year bringing their future smash hit “The Grey Man”. This movie features Ryan Gosling, Ana de Armas and Chris Evans, it’s a spy thriller and boy did they deliver on this offsite! We went through a stunt exercise and it was the coolest.
HBO is back, bringing House of The Dragon and showed up big time with an immersive walk through experience featuring a life sized dragon skull!
Dungeons & Dragons turned a bar into a literal tavern, thank you Paramount for one of the coolest offsites I’ve ever seen. We got to see some footage from the new film and there was even a (digital) dragon!
For Panels, Saturday was stacked. DC and Marvel showing up on the same day…I of course had to see both! I camped out overnight for a chance to be one of 6,500 lucky people in the room.
Dc brought out all the stops, The Rock came out as Black Atom and lit up the whole room with light effects that matched the bracelets they gave us. I have been to many Comic-Cons and this felt so original, and so special.
Marvel showed us the lineup for Phase Four of the cinematic universe. The cast for She Hulk, Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and the extremely emotional Black Panther 2, including a live band performance.
In the exhibit hall, there were some familiar companies and some new ones. Disney+ turned it up bringing so many fun photo ops for their upcoming shows Mrs. Marvel and She Hulk. I have to give a shoutout to Goosebumps who is celebrating their 30 year anniversary!!!
