SDCC may not be physically happening this year because of the Coronavirus pandemic but that doesn’t mean the convention is cancelled. The amazing staff at SDCC has been working no stop since the announcement to bring a virtual convention for all of its fans. This is the first time in over 50 years that San Diego Comic-Con was not able to physically able to host a convention that has brought amazing memories to fans of all ages. This year the show is virtual and available to everyone which is amazing. SDCC has released a schedule of its virtual panels that can all be accessed on YouTube during their specific time to watch. Although a lot of the major studios have shut down or just getting back to business it doesn’t mean there isn’t any news. Listed below are some of the top panels that we here at LRM are excited to see and talk about. Let us know in the comment section below if there are any panels that we didn’t list that you’re are going to watch.

Executive producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg will also make a special appearance.
