What to expect from San Diego Comic-Con 2022: Marvel to DC to Game of Thrones
San Diego Comic-Con has returned in 2022, and for the first time since 2019 the biggest American comic con is hosting in-person attendees, panels, and celebrities. Will the frisson of SDCC’s historical role as the Room Where It Happens win out and bring all the trailers and updates a fan could ask for? Or will studios — rusty from two years without the convention, leery of announcing plans in a still COVID-unstable world, and maybe even accustomed to running their own bespoke news events — play it safe and quiet?
We won’t find out for sure until this weekend, but for now, here’s everything that Polygon is keeping our eyes peeled for. And when it happens, you’ll find all our coverage of San Diego Comic-Con 2022 right here.
Crunchyroll has a lot to talk about going into its Industry Panel at Comic-Con this Thursday, what with the recent acquisition announcements of several new anime during Japan Expo 2022 in Paris earlier this week.

HBO’s first spinoff from the era-defining Game of Thrones is primed and ready for its premiere on Aug. 21. But first, Warner Bros. will be giving House of the Dragon a whole Hall H panel to itself, and with the last trailer several months old at this point, you can bet that we’ll get another one with more footage and more of the story of the last great Targaryen king.
