For those of you missing your annual Comic-Con fix, there’s no need to fear. The event is going virtual for the second year in a row and promises plenty of news in the world of entertainment.
The event technically starts on Wednesday afternoon, with a virtual panel showcasing the new film Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins that will arrive in theaters on Friday, July 23. Then, some smaller panels (but still worth your time) will take place on Thursday, July 22 before SDCC officially gets underway on Friday.
Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins
After saving the life of their heir apparent, tenacious loner Snake Eyes is welcomed into an ancient Japanese clan called the Arashikage where he is taught the ways of the ninja warrior. But, when secrets from his past are revealed, Snake Eyes’ honor and allegiance will be tested – even if that means losing the trust of those closest to him.
You can check out the full Comic-Con schedule here, but this is what we’ll be looking forward to all weekend.
