With C2E2 2026 around the corner we take a look back at our favorite interview from last year

Published

on

C2E2 2025 was such a huge success. I had the wonderful opportunity to interview John Rhys-Davies, Dominic Monaghan, and Phil LaMarr about some of their iconic roles and legendary films.

John Rhys-Davies was exactly how you’d hope he’d be. One word: spectacular. We even got into some insights about how he felt playing Sallah and Gimli that many fans may not have heard before.


Phil LaMarr isn’t just a voice acting legend, he’s an incredible human being. From Star Wars: The Clone Wars to Samurai Jack to Green Lantern, we talked about it all.


Dominic Monaghan was charming and delightful. We talked about his experiences working on The Lord of the Rings and Lost, along with an untold story from the set of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.


From the panels to the interviews and the overall atmosphere of the con, it’s definitely one of our favorites and an unforgettable memory. Dont miss your chance to be a part of C2E2 this year. Get info on attending by visiting: C2E2.com

Published

on

SDCC was back to its full strength in 2025 with multiple major studios returning to the fold and showing off new projects with interactive panels and elaborate activaitons. At the top of the list with DC Comics ‘Peacefest’ celebrating the second season of Peacemaker. The activation included dozens of props from the series, free giveaways, a photo booth, and visit from Eagly and it was headlined by glam rock bands, Steel Panther and Foxy Shazam. See a sizzle reel of the event below.

With so many new projects on the horizon in 2026 and beyond for DC Comics, what will they bring to SDCC in July? A post Supergirl activation is likely to go over well with fans or perhaps something related to the Clayface film that drops in September. With it being a year before the Superman sequel set to release in July of 2027, I could even see them putting their focus on the ‘Man of Tomorrow’. We shall see!
