The San Diego Comic-Con 2021 is here. The mega-event will perform a Comic-Con@Home version of the convention this year, as they did in 2020, for obvious reasons, with intentions to return in person for the entire event in 2022. While the calendar for Comic-Con@Home isn’t quite as crowded as the one for a regular SDCC, there’s still a long list of virtual panels to attend, many of which will feature the premiere of brand new information, trailers, and footage from some highly anticipated forthcoming films and shows.
The official dates for Comic-Con are Friday, July 23 through Sunday, July 25. (though there are a few panels that will be released before that). On the Comic-Con Youtube channel, you’ll be able to watch all of the panels of the Comic-Con 2021.
