San Diego Comic-Con is officially back this week, and the intersection of gaming, movies, and streaming culture is about to take over your feeds. IGN has detailed its massive coverage plans for the 2026 convention, anchored by Marvel Studios making its triumphant return to Hall H alongside major showcases for DC projects like Lanterns and surprise musical acts like Green Day.

The convention schedule is packed with high-profile panels featuring the casts of major upcoming adaptations, including The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Blade Runner 2099, and The Walking Dead: Dead City.

Expect plenty of crossover news regarding upcoming game adaptations and tie-ins as studios look to capture cross-platform audiences.
IGN is rolling out daily multi-hour live broadcasts on Friday, July 24, and Saturday, July 25, running from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. PT. These streams will feature A-list celebrity interviews and exclusive first looks directly from the convention floor.
