Alien: Earth, Predator: Badlands, and Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 head up our list of panels to look out for at Comic-Con 2025.
San Diego Comic-Con will be a weird one this year. With Fantastic Four: First Steps in cinemas, and nothing left to promote in 2025, Marvel is sitting the convention out. While DC is doing the same, aside from the Peacemaker panel detailed below.
The likes of Lionsgate, Warner Bros, Sony, Paramount, Legendary, and Lucasfilm are also giving Hall H a miss this year.
But in spite of their absence, there’s panels aplenty to enjoy, with the following our picks for the next three days, as well as the official SDCC description of each panel.
