AMC’s The Walking Dead will be holding a panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2018 on Friday, July 20 at 12:15 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. PT in Hall H. Originally, Deadline reported that it’s likely Jon Bernthal who’s rumored to be reprising Shane in some fashion in season 9 would be part of the panel. While Bernthal has not been officially announced on San Diego Comic-Con’s website as a panel guest, there’s a pretty good chance his reveal is being held back as a surprise. Featured guests that have been announced for The Walking Dead season 9 panel are Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Danai Gurira, Jeffrey Dean Morgan alongside executive producer and showrunner Angela Kang, executive producers Scott M. Gimple, Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Dave Alpert, and special effects makeup supervisor and executive producer Greg Nicotero.

Gimple, Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Dave Alpert, and special effects makeup supervisor and executive producer Greg Nicotero. There will be discussion about the second half of season 4 as well as a Q and A session following. Yvette Nicole Brown will be replacing Chris Hardwick as host for both panels this year according to Deadline. The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead co-creator Robert Kirkman will be hosting his own panel titled In Conversation with Robert Kirkman.

With what may be Andrew Lincoln’s last appearance, The Walking Dead will be there, as Amazon’s Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, the SDCC debut of new Doctor Who Jodie Whittaker in Hall H plus a sneak peek at Syfy’s highly anticipated adaptation of Deadly Class by Avengers Infinity War directors the Russo Bros. The CW, CBS Add to that, Warner Bros. TV is coming out in full force with 15 shows — but that’s not to say that they are having all the fun. From network reboots (Charmed) to veteran shows (Supernatural) to reunions (Breaking Bad) to newbies (Cloak & Dagger), Comic-Con is busting at the seams with shows for the masses of discerning fanboys and fangirls setting up shop in San Diego from July 19-22 for the confab. Marvel’s presence at SDCC this year is scarce — nay — practically non-existent on the film side, but they’ll be throwing us a bone with TV as they push Netflix’s Iron Fist as well as Legion, The Gifted and their newest series Cloak & Dagger on Freeform. Other surprises may pop up, but those should keep Marvel fans satisfied. . WBTV is showing up and showing out with mainstays The Flash, Arrow, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, and Supernatural. Archie and the gang will also make their annual Comic-Con visit as Riverdale makes their Hall H debut. Among the new shows making their Comic-Con debut are Manifest, Mayans M.C., and Castle Rock while reboots for Charmed and Magnum P.I. are set to take the stage. Fans of Breaking Bad will be treated to a 10-year anniversary reunion and of course, it wouldn’t be Comic-Con without Star Trek: Discovery beaming in to energize the crowd. As in past years, Deadline will also be having a big presence at SDCC. Co-Editor-in-chief Mike Fleming Jr will be leading our team of Senior Editor Dominic Patten, Amanda N’Duka, and Dino-Ray Ramos.

Friday, July 20 Inside The Big Bang Theory Writers’ Room 10:15–11:15 AM, Ballroom 20<doc-sep>Marvel Studios MCU Let's start first with the movie side of things. Yes, it's true: Marvel won't be taking up residence in Hall H this year. And while it may make a bit of sense that next year's Avengers 4 wouldn't panel, given the mind-blowing ending to this summer's Avengers: Infinity War—how do you panel a sequel to a film where most of the characters perished at the end without revealing who's still alive?—the exclusion of Captain Marvel, due out March 8, 2019, does seem a bit odd. Especially in a year when there's also no D23 Expo to reveal the trailer at later. Chances are that Marvel has something up their sleeves for later this year on that front. And as for Spider-Man: Far From Home, it's only just begun filming and, well, if you know how Infinity War ended, you know why this one isn't paneling either. That's not to say that there's no Marvel fun to be had at SDCC this year. You just have to be a fan of their various TV offerings to enjoy it. Netflix's Iron Fist adaptation will panel on Thursday, with Freeform's Cloak & Dagger paneling on Friday. Fox is bringing a sneak peek at season two of The Gifted on Saturday, while a very early conversation about season three of FX's trippy Legion will take place on Sunday. But if big screen comic book heroes are more your jam, we hope you also enjoy DC's line-up as they're out in full-force. Be on the lookout for Wonder Woman!<doc-sep>
