San Diego Comic-Con 2022: all the best panels, trailers, and news to watch out for
After two years of being canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, San Diego Comic-Con’s coming back this year with a vengeance and a sizable stack of announcements, trailer drops, and early screenings of some of the entertainment industry’s most hyped projects.
While there’s almost no way to see absolutely everything that’s going down during this year’s SDCC, knowing where and when some of the convention’s biggest panels are taking place is a solid way to get the most out of your time if you’re on the con floor (or just following along from home). Here are all of the biggest film and television panels happening at SDCC 2022 that news-hungry fans are going to want to keep an eye on.
Thursday, July 21st
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (12PM PT to 1PM PT, Hall H)
The cast and filmmakers of Paramount’s upcoming Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves will descend upon Hall H on Thursday afternoon to give panel attendees their first look at the live-action fantasy adventure epic based on the iconic role-playing game. In addition to revealing more about Honor Among Thieves ahead of its March 3rd, 2023, release, Paramount Pictures and production partner eOne are also hosting a Dungeons & Dragons-themed tavern experience that, as of now, may only be accessible by waiting in the standby line.
Ghosts (1PM PT to 2PM PT, Ballroom 20)
Teen Wolf: The Movie (1:30PM PT to 2:30PM PT, Hall H)
Teen Wolf series creator Jeff Davis as well as co-stars Tyler Posey and Tyler Hoechlin have even more to reveal about Paramount Plus’ upcoming Teen Wolf feature that’ll transport audiences back to the town of Beacon Hills.

With any luck, the creative team will also share details about Abbott Elementary’s recently announced second season.
National Treasure: Edge of History (2:15PM PT to 3:15PM PT, Ballroom 20)
While Nic Cage’s Benjamin Franklin Gates might not be a part of Disney Plus’ National Treasure: Edge of History, Justin Bartha’s Riley Poole is set to return to the new series as part of a story about a new generation of explorers whose lives are changed by their love of history. Cast members Lisette Olivera, Jake Austin Walker, Antonio Cipriano, Jordan Rodrigues, Zuri Reed, Lyndon Smith, and executive producers Cormac and Marianne Wibberley will gather to talk about the new show.
Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur (2:15PM PT to 3:15 PMPT, Room 6BCF)
Given the big twist that capped off Ms. Marvel’s finale, it’s likely that Disney Plus’ upcoming Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur animated series will feature a few novel changes to its heroine Lunella Lafayette, a character whose origin story is similar to Kamala Khan’s in the comics. That’s just one of the topics that might come up as Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur stars Diamond White, Fred Tatasciore, and more members of the show’s creative team come together to discuss its first season.
Severance (3:30PM PT to 4:30PM PT, Ballroom 20)

Marvel (11:45AM PT to 1:15PM PT, Hall H)
What If…? was just the beginning of Marvel Studios’ big push into animation, and the series’ second season, along with new shows like X-Men ‘97 and Marvel Zombies, are what department head Brad Winderbaum and head of visual development Ryan Meinerding will be digging into here. Considering how long the panel is and that this is the studio’s first time back presenting at SDCC in years, there’s a chance even more new animated projects might be announced ahead of the weekend’s live-action news.
The Walking Dead (1:30PM PT to 2:30PM PT, Hall H)
Paper Girls (1:30PM PT to 2:30PM PT, Ballroom 20)

Though the Warner Bros. planned panels for both Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, starring Jason Momoa and Amber Heard, and The Flash, starring Ezra Miller, have been canceled, there’s a chance footage from those films might be shown here as well.
