It is a rare thing to see the great George Lucas at an event and an even rarer occurrence to see him for an SDCC panel. It was not only great to hear from the maker himself but also to bring some talented friends along for an incredible conversation on the George Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which opens this fall.

Dan Aykroyd attended SDCC in order to reveal the new Blues Brothers comic which he created along with his kids.

Alien Earth creator Noah Hawley not only gave fans insight to his project but held the world premiere in Hall H after the panel.

Project Hail Mary had an unforgettable Hall H panel where they engulfed the room with concept art and designs from the movie. Ryan Gosling was very charming and open about his experience on the project.

WWE legend John Cena stood up in appreciation for James Gunn and the work he has done for fans all over the world.

The Toxic Avenger had one of its first ever screenings at SDCC 2025 and star Elijah Wood helped to introduce the film.

That’s all for now. Be sure to check back next month as we begin our coverage for SDCC 2026!
