The Onslaught panel has begun! Filmmaker Kevin Smith is moderating. Director Adam Wingard is in attendance, alongside stars Dan Stevens, Rebecca Hall, Drew Starkey, and Adria Arjona.
At the Onslaught panel, Godzilla x Kong director Adam Wingard describes how he got an original action movie made “10 years of sucking the studio’s teat” #SDCC2026 pic.twitter.com/hhA2epbEqEJuly 24, 2026
Adam Wingard says he views Onslaught as the “completion of a trilogy” following You’re Next and The Guest, and that Onslaught takes place in the same town as The Guest #SDCC2026 pic.twitter.com/usc2A8T1ksJuly 24, 2026
Moderator Kevin Smith points out that the last time Adria Arjona was at Comic-Con it was Morbin’ time, “We’ve all got our shit. I made Yoga Hosers, don’t worry about it” #SDCC2026 pic.twitter.com/c3jzNItTFwJuly 24, 2026
Dan Stevens is sorry to say that Onslaught is “not exactly a sequel” to The Guest, but it is a “spiritual sequel”: “It’s the same theory and world-building behind it. There’s the same sort of military suspicion going around” #SDCC2026 pic.twitter.com/gLC3bkA0FxJuly 24, 2026
Drew Starkey wanted to shave his eyebrows to play “a government killer who’s on MDMA and trying to do his job well”: “We were really trying to go crazy” #SDCC2026 pic.twitter.com/9cklb5QsRRJuly 24, 2026
Adam Wingard says Onslaught is the first film where he had final cut, and he wrote a role for Michael Biehn just so they could hang out after he was obsessed with Hicks as a kid #SDCC2026 pic.twitter.com/arorgcfgErJuly 24, 2026
Adam Wingard is asked what’s next? “I haven’t made a zombie movie. I haven’t made an alien abduction thing. Maybe I’ll do one of those” #SDCC2026 pic.twitter.com/UZGV7u48r8July 24, 2026

The Directors on Directing panel is happening over in Hall H, with Weapons director Zach Cregger discussing the upcoming Gladys prequel, and John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein discussing their still-in-progress Star Trek movie. Be sure to follow along on our Twitter page!
Zach Cregger says the script for the Gladys movie is in progress “I’m really excited about the Gladys movie… I think there’s an amazing story to be told about where Gladys comes from and how she became what we know her as.” #SDCC2026 pic.twitter.com/mmFChJ4nXWJuly 23, 2026
Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley touch on their in-progress Star Trek script “I think people will be surprised,” says Daley. “It’ll probably be a little bit further into the future than we’ve been before,” adds Goldstein #SDCC2026 pic.twitter.com/VgGzaiIHPqJuly 23, 2026
Resident Evil director Zach Cregger recalls dropping “150lb human sacks” filled with blood around star Austin Abrams as he ran through the street for a gruesome gauntlet, and how one fell frighteningly close: “If he’d been an inch to the right, he definitely would have died”… pic.twitter.com/2Y4aV4l3qEJuly 23, 2026
Zach Cregger brought an exclusive clip from Resident Evil to #SDCC, where Austin Abram’s Bryan comes across a flipped cop car in a snowy field, and is pursued by a zombie. Inept Brian’s screaming and many missed shots punctuate the terror with humour #SDCC2026 pic.twitter.com/1s6QngyXUoJuly 23, 2026

The Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender panel is currently in full swing, and we’ve learned a few things about the upcoming animated movie.
For one thing, Katara was pregnant in early versions of the film, and Sokka actor Román Zaragoza got original voice actor Jack DeSena’s blessing. You can follow along live on our Twitter page.

It sounds like Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be a seriously emotional one, with composer Michael Giacchino teasing that he wanted to “make a sad Spider-Man movie.”
“So, I wasn’t sure what I was going to be able to bring new to the table for this, and I just sort of had this idea, that I asked Destin [Daniel Cretton], the director who did an incredible job, was, ‘What if we just start removing all the extraneous notes from his theme in the way that could represent pulling away all the pieces of his life that he doesn’t have anymore?'” Giacchino shared.

We’re kicking things off with some superhero news! Here’s an update on VisionQuest, which will give the fearsome Ultron a new theme.
Mick Giacchino just brought the VisionQuest main theme to #SDCC, the first time it’s been heard publicly. Giacchino says the music was designed to be “small and intimate and a little bit lonely” but can also get bigger. And he confirms James Spader’s Ultron is getting a new… pic.twitter.com/k8F3h5FP1YJuly 23, 2026

Of course, the biggest panel of all is bound to be Marvel’s Hall H panel, which is set for Saturday. We’re guessing there will be more Avengers: Doomsday news, as well as, possibly, an update on the upcoming X-Men movie. Whatever happens, it’s bound to be huge.
2026-07-23T16:02:27.898Z
We’re getting closer to the first big panels of the event. Today, we’re most excited for the Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender panel. With all the discussion surrounding the movie leaking in full, it will be interesting to hear what the cast and creatives have to say on the topic, if they choose to address it. Beyond that, it’s a very exciting release in its own right that’s worth getting excited about.

Unfortunately the only way to watch the panels at SDCC 2026 is to actually be there in person. They’re not live-streamed from the event and haven’t been since COVID. However, don’t fret as GamesRadar+ is on the ground in San Diego and will be sharing live updates throughout the convention. As well as our live blog, you can follow along on our social media on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

Despite Marvel’s return to Hall H, there are some pretty big omissions from San Diego Comic-Con this year. First and foremost, DC Studios does not have a bit standalone panel at SDCC. While Lanterns will be appearing, we’re not expect James Gunn or Peter Safran to make an appearance running through the upcoming slate for the studio. This also means that we won’t be getting any updates on Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow we don’t think.
Despite being the biggest streaming platform in the world, Netflix also won’t be making an appearance at SDCC. They don’t tend to have a big presence there so this isn’t a huge surprise and they also host their own similar-style events throughout the year.
Elsewhere, Lucasfilm won’t be appearing much either. They will be hosting a publishing panel called, ‘Lucasfilm Publishing: Star Wars: Stories from a Galaxy Far, Far Away’ but we won’t be hearing more from the TV and film slate for the studio. It seems we will be waiting until D23 for that one.
What will be announced at SDCC?

So what are we hoping will be announced at San Diego Comic-Con? Well, a few of our big predictions have actually already been announced ahead of their respective panels. Marvel already released its Avengers: Doomsday trailer ahead of their Saturday night slot and one of the big questions we had about The Rings of Power season 3 has been answered too. It’s been revealed that Jamie Campbell-Bower will be playing Celeborn in the new season after a lot of speculation about his role…
We do still have some hopes though. First and foremost, we’re hoping for some big trailers. The Rings of Power season 3 and Blade Runner 2099 should deliver on that front. The Lanterns panel will also hopefully bring with it some new footage as we’re just a few weeks away from the release of that DC Studios project too. When it comes to Marvel, we’re also expecting some news on the upcoming X-Men movie, especially given this seems to be where the future of the MCU is heading…

So, what’s on the agenda today? San Diego Comic-Con panels begin in just a few hours and there are several exciting ones to follow along with. You can see the full list in our SDCC 2026 schedule, but we’ve picked out a few highlights below.
Marvel’s Wolverine
Insomniac Games will be showcasing Marvel’s Wolverine in Hall H at SDCC. The upcoming release has a lot of hype around it and we’re expecting to see some more gameplay and news about the upcoming release. This one takes place at 11.15am PDT/2.15pm EDT/7.15pm BST.
Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender
Beginning at 1pm PDT/4pm EDT/9pm BST, another of the first big panels of the convention is Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender. The cast and creators of the Paramount Plus movie will be in attendance as we expect some details on the film ahead of its release. The movie was plagued by several leaks in the run up to release so this could be addressed too.
Onslaught
Another 2026 movie will also be showcased today at SDCC. Adam Wingard’s new film Onslaught follows a rogue squad of genetically engineered super soldiers, and it looks pretty epic from the first trailer. Wingard will be at the panel alongside his cast Adria Arjona, Dan Stevens, Rebecca Hall, and Drew Starkey. It all begins at 5.30pm PDT/8.30pm EDT/1.30am BST.

As for what’s on display in the convention hall itself, the most intriguing find was the Avengers: Doomsday costumes. One of these was for a character we’ve not yet seen called the Latverian Witch (yes, we have a theory about that already) as well as several looks at the Avengers.
We’re here!

GamesRadar+ has touched down in San Diego and last night we had a look around the town and the convention center floor during the preview night. We spotted lots of intriguing things, including a better look at Sauron in The Rings of Power season 3, which is pasted on the side of a building and a glimpse into Latveria in the Gaslamp Quarter.
