One of the entertainment industry’s biggest annual events, San Diego Comic-Con 2022, has finally arrived and a full run-down of the convention’s lineup is now available. The last few years have not been easy for the industry institution San Diego Comic-Con. Although Comic-Con At Home 2021 dropped trailers aplenty, it was tricky for the event to gain much in the way of hype when in-person attendance was canceled for the second year in a row due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, San Diego Comic-Con 2022’s lineup proves that the convention is back in force. Taking place between Thursday, July 14, and Sunday, July 17, San Diego Comic-Con 2022 will be the first full-scale in-person convention since 2019. The lineup includes all manner of panels from the MCU, DC, HBO, Disney, and every other major pillar of the industry.
As has been the case ever since the convention began to grow in popularity and size, this year's San Diego Comic-Con lineup is split between Hall H, Ballroom 20, and the Indigo Ballroom, with some panels taking place in 6BCF and the last few in 6A. Comic-Con 2022’s many TV and movie panels make the event unmissable for viewers hoping to see the latest updates on every major franchise, whether it is a big-screen or small-screen series. Luckily, there are a lot of options available to any fans who are hoping to keep up with industry news but are unable to attend the events in person.
