Marvel released its schedule for New York Comic Con 2019 with plenty of panels for True Believers in attendance.
Marvel always puts a focus on comics for NYCC and this year is no different. Returning are the usual Cup O’Joe, Next Big Thing and Fanfare with C.B. Cebulski panels. Taking the main stage on Saturday will be the “X-Men – Dawn of X” panel, which promises a discussion on the new upcoming X titles as well as a few surprises.
Despite a reduced TV presence, Marvel will be bringing Runaways for the third year in a row on Friday of the convention and will screen the Season 3 premiere along with a panel with the cast and crew. Here’s hoping for some looks at the new cast members, including Elizabeth Hurley as Morgan le Fay, and some more information on the upcoming Cloak & Dagger crossover.
So far the only Disney+ show announced is the upcoming Marvel’s Hero Project, an unscripted series that will have its world premiere screening at the convention.
For gamers, Marvel will be bringing a look at its upcoming games including the hotly anticipated Marvel’s Avengers.
