Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year's San Diego Comic-Con has been cancelled. That means no thousands of fans in attendance, no leaks from Hall H, and little in the way of big film and TV announcements due to Hollywood essentially being closed down for the time being.
However, the event's organisers are going to hold the virtual Comic-Con@Home which will see fans tune into pre-recorded panels for free from the comfort of their own home.
The Wednesday schedule has now been released, and there's sadly little in the way of film and television panels. In fact, there are none, and with both Warner Bros. and Marvel Studios giving Comic-Con@Home a miss, that could be a sign of things to come. Of course, there will be plenty of people out there glad to see the event going back to its roots by focusing on comic books.
If you want to watch any of these panels on July 15th, then just click on the link above for details.
