Plus: EW Hosts Hospitality Suite at Hard
Rock Hotel and Closing Night Bash to Showcase Peacock's series
"Those About to Die"
LOS
ANGELES, July 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Entertainment Weekly (EW) will descend on San Diego Comic-Con
2024 for the sixteenth year with a fully stacked schedule: two
star-studded panels; a photo and video studio; a limited edition
San Diego Comic-Con print issue complimentary to attendees; and
EW's legendary, exclusive closing night VIP bash.
EW's invite-only hospitality suite at the Hard Rock Hotel will
serve as an oasis for talent throughout the convention. The lounge
is a one-stop shop for TV and film stars attending Comic-Con to
promote their upcoming projects. Complete with a video and photo
studio, the space will allow casts and creators to participate in
one-of-a-kind interviews, photoshoots, and content creation that
will run exclusively on EW.com and EW's social channels.
"Just like the superheroes it celebrates, San Diego Comic-Con
(and its devoted attendees) faced monumental challenges over the
past few years: First, a global pandemic, then, a historic
double-strike that wreaked havoc on 2023 programming," says Editor
in Chief and General Manager Patrick
Gomez. "But never count a superhero (or their fans) out. For
the first time since 2019, it feels like Comic-Con is truly back in
full force—we love a good comeback story."
In addition, EW is bringing back its complimentary limited
edition San Diego Comic-Con issue featuring the cast of the highly
anticipated film Borderlands on the cover and exclusive
content inside, which is available only at San Diego Comic-Con via
street teams. For more on the limited edition cover story go to
EW.com.
EW also returns with its two popular panels—Brave Warriors and
Bold School. See below for those details.
Friday, July
26:
Brave Warriors (12:45pm PT): They may be fighters on screen, but
that doesn't mean they're not lovers (of the craft). Join Ismael
Cruz Córdova, Jack Kesy,
Ethan Peck, Lewis Tan, and Owen Teague as they discuss the thrill of
playing iconic characters, the difference between their personas
and real life, and the highs (and lows!) of their careers in
Hollywood. Moderated by EW Editor
in Chief Patrick Gomez, the
panel will take place in Ballroom 20.
Saturday, July
27:
Bold School (3:30pm PT): In EW's Bold School series, power
players in the entertainment industry share anecdotes about
life lessons, how they found their voice, and how to pay it
forward. Join a lively discussion among Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Alex Borstein, Claudia Doumit, Kate Mulgrew, and Sheryl Lee Ralph opening up about the power
and privilege of taking on roles that redefine the rules and refuse
to yield. Moderated by EW Senior Writer Maureen Lee Lenker, the panel will take
place in Hall H.
