San Diego Comic-Con 2024 has come and gone. Over the course of the week, there was so much to take in. Whether it be the show floor, the many panels, the activations, or news coming from movies, TV shows, and more, it can be an information overload.
This was a big year for Fandom, as its numerous sites had a superhero team-up to tackle Comic-Con and spread their wings to cover every moment it could. Outside of the TV and movie news, Fandom also celebrated its 20th anniversary by throwing a giant birthday party featuring a 360 camera, dancers, a red carpet, celebrities galore, and a performance from Jason Derulo (who even chatted with us about his graphic novel). And, of course, there are the panels. Fandom had its own panel, debating what video game should get the prestige TV treatment next. Meanwhile, GameSpot’s own Lucy James moderated the Dragon Age: The Veilguard panel.
So as we walk away from this past year’s event, let’s take a look at what Fandom covered over Comic-Con weekend.
Marvel Studios:
There was a lot of Marvel news over the course of SDCC, mainly tying into the upcoming slate of movies. The Marvel panel covered the upcoming Avengers, Fantastic Four, and Thunderbolts movies, and there were plenty of surprises along the way.
