And that fantastic SDCC Hall H news.
LOS ANGELES, CA — July 11, 2025 — Legendary filmmaker George Lucas to make Comic-Con International appearance alongside Academy Award-winning director Guillermo del Toro and Academy Award-winning artist Doug Chiang on Sunday, July 27, in Hall H.
The panel, titled Sneak Peek of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, will be moderated by Queen Latifah, the Grammy-, Emmy-, and Golden Globe-winning and Academy Award-nominated artist and longtime fan of fantasy and pop culture. The panel of iconic creators will discuss the power of illustrated stories and the role of narrative art in society. From ancient cave drawings and hieroglyphics to paintings, murals, illustrations, comics, digital media, and sculptures, this panel will delve into the universal language of illustrated storytelling.
David Glanzer, Chief Communications and Strategy Officer of Comic-Con, said: “We are beyond thrilled to welcome George Lucas to Comic-Con for the very first time. Nearly five decades ago, Star Wars made one of its earliest public appearances at our convention, along with a booth featuring Howard Chaykin’s now legendary Star Wars poster as a promotional item. Now, to have Mr. Lucas return—this time to debut the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art—is a true full-circle moment. His lifelong dedication to visual storytelling and world-building resonates deeply with us and our community, and the museum’s mission to celebrate narrative art in all its forms perfectly reflects what Comic-Con has championed from the very beginning.”
