We are on Day Four and the magic keeps happening. This
definitely has been a Comic Con filled with surprises, a lot of fun and aching
feet that are ignored (hey, a good soak does wonders). Being this is a
Saturday; families will be out in full force to enjoy the outdoor experiences
but also hitting the convention floor to find more one-of-a-kind toy or comic
book.
The amazing day begins with MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000:
The Return. This show was the highlight of my weekends and I will admit that I
have not laughed that much in a long time. A panel will be held at the Horton
Grand Theater so be there! Later Joel Hodgson along with Felicia Day, Jonah
Ray, Hampton Yount and Rebecca Hanson will talk all things MST3K!
Hall H begins with a Warner Bros. Pictures presentation to
include what they have coming and exclusive footage. Chris Hardwick talks
Steven Spielberg’s READY PLAYER ONE with Spielberg Tye Cheridan, Olivia Cooke,
Ben Mendelsohn and Zack Penn to talk. Also on hand is BLADE RUNNER 2049
directed by Denis Villeneuve. Don’t think that the superhero universe goes
without a blip on the radar as Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller
and Ray Fisher are in it for JUSTICE LEAGUE. Want an early look at Aquaman?
Well I’m sure you will be accommodated.
On television, ABC’s ONCE UPON A TIME brings teases for its
seventh season and Henry all grown up with a daughter of his own! That’s going
to be an interesting story to be told. Cast and crew will be on hand to talk
about those moments we are all wondering about.
My guilty pleasure is the CW show THE ORIGINALS! Returning
for another season there are so many questions I need answered and only the
show’s executive producer Julie Plec can answer them – but she won’t and I know
that. I’m still watching! The series RIVERDALE will also bring a presentation
along with a Q&A that gives a take on small town life and a new season
coming October 11 on the CW.
FOX brings the bad boy back for a Q&A and the series
that has everyone talking LUCIFER. This is a show that isn’t exactly what one
would think when hearing that name, Lucifer, which is probably why it is a
smash hit. It is a world like no other!
STAR TREK: Discovery is the new show on CBS this fall that
follows another crew on voyages. A panel with cast and the minds behind the new
series will be there to ask all things Star Trekky!
DC’s LEGENDS OF TOMORROW offer up the story of 2017 Los Angeles where
dinosaurs seem to be taking up parking spaces and Big Ben is there. Breaking
time the superhero’s need to find answers and do what super heroes do!
THE EXPANSE comes to Comic Con as SyFy has once again
created a world that is amazing and hundreds of years into the future. Catch up
if you will as another season is here and the panel is eager to talk about it
all.
What would Comic Con be without THE SIMPSONS. Matt Groening,
Al Jean and Matt Selman are ready to share secrets, surprises and what’s coming
in the new season.
FOX brings another favorite with FAMILY GUY with Seth
MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Mike Henry and John Viener preview next season and
an exclusive look at their 300th episode. I mean seriously, 300
episodes means they level of epicness will be amazing. Following up is AMERICAN
DAD! As the Smith’s of Wendy Schaal, Scott Grimes, Rachael MacFarlane, Dee
Baker and executive producer Zack Rosenblatt talk about the July 24th
season premier.
NBC rolls out its new show of the supernatural with
MIDNIGHT, TEXAS .
Fans will see the premiere episode along with a Q&A session with cast
Francois Arnaud, Dylan Bruce, Parisa Fitz-Henley, Arielle Kebbel, Jason Lewis,
Peter Mensah and Sarah Ramos as well as the author of Midnight, Texas
HBO brings their mega-hit WESTWORLD with a panel discussion
including Ben Barnes, Ingrid Bolso Berdal, Ed Harris (gawd I love that man!),
Luke Hemsworth, James Marsden, Simon Quarterman, Rodrigo Santoro (okay I love
him too), Evan Rachel Wood, Jeffrey Wright and Thandie Newton back to talk all
things dark and western!
NETFLIX brings the crazy hit STRANGER THINGS to Comic Call
with a panel discussion on what is to come for Season 2 and giving fans of the
show a look at footage of what is going to happen come this October! Are you
kidding me…I have to wait that long??
Marvel Studios is also bringing president and producer Kevin
Feige in to talk about the expanding Marvel Universe and I’m sure there will be
plenty of surprises for everyone.
Finally, bad-ass Charlize Theron heads up the Entertainment
Weekly panel of Women who Kick Ass. Theron has made her popularity in diverse
roles in such films as MAD MAX: Fury
Road , THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS, SNOW WHITE AND THE
HUNTSMAN and PROMETHEUS. Her new film ATOMIC BLONDE is on my list of don’t
miss…ever!
There is only one more day of Comic Con and basically that
means there is still a ton to see and do as well as make time to charge my cell
phone – nah, let it go because there is too much fun to be had.
A good nights sleep and it’s off for the final day – stay with
me kiddies!
