What is the New York Comic Con schedule?

You can see a full list of all panels, seminars, and activities But I know you're busy and don't have time to pore over every little panel and event. Thankfully, there's something for everyone across all four days, so let's break down the highlights and choicest cuts bit by bit - including times for both the East Coast a𒁃nd those across the༺ pond in the UK.

Thursday (October 5, 2017)

Michael Rooker Spotlight: 2:30-3:30pm EST/7:30-8:30 BST (Main Stage 1-D)

Fresh from his turn as Mary Poppins/Yondu in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy 2, as well as having spent a considerable time as the redneck you'd love to punch, Merle Dixon, on The Walking Dead, Rooker ꦇis bound to have amusing anecdotes a-plenty and a few juicy behind-the-🎶scenes tidbits to share.

American Gods: 6-7pm EST/11pm-midnight BST (Main Stage 1-D)

There are already so many questions swirling after that American Gods season finale - and this panel will be the place where (hopefully) some of those questions get🎶 answered. Three of the cast, Ricky Whittle, Yetide Badaki, and Pablo Schrieber will be at the panel, as well as appearing across all four days of the con♒vention.

Friday (October 8, 2017)

Peter Capaldi Spotlight: 11am-12pm EST/4pm-5pm BST (Main Stage 1-D)

The news that Peter Capaldi would be leaving Doctor Who aft🌠er the Christmas special is bound to be high on the agenda during hi✨s panel. Will he give us a brief hint at what's to come - and could the first female Doctor Jodie Whittaker pop by?

Pacific Rim Uprising: 12pm-1pm EST/5pm-6pm BST (The Theater at Madison Square Garden)

Immediately after Peter Capaldi's panel comes the first marquee panel of NYCC 2017 from Madison Square Garden. It's sure to be a wild ride as lots of the Pacific Rim sequel has been kept under-wraps until now. Expect a clip or two and John Boyega to also grace us with his presence. Are we ok to ask about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Last Jedi?

Saturday (October 9, 2017)

Star Trek: Discovery: 3:45-4:45pm EST/8:45-9:45pm BST (The Theater at Madison Square Garden)

If an hour of laser-focused discussion and reveals surrounding Star Trek: Discovery sounds like your thing then 🐓Madison Square Garden is the place to be on the Saturday. Promising to be chock-full of appearances from cast, as well as executives behind the show, this is one panel notꦺ to be missed.

CANCELLED: The Punisher: 5:15-6:15pm EST/10:15-11:15pm BST (The Theater at Madison Square Garden)

Due ෴🌊to the tragic shootings in Las Vegas, The Punisher have cancelled their NYCC panel.

The Walking Dead: 7:45-8:45pm EST/12:45-1:45am BST (The Theater at Madison Square Garden)

The Wa🌞lking Dead season 8 brings Rick an♈d the gang on the cusp of all-out war with Negan and his set of Saviours. Here's hoping Saturday evening's panel will shed some light on what's to come, and just what the deal is with Old Man Rick. The cast, including Andrew Lincoln, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Norman Reedus, and the brains (mmm, brains) behind the operation will converge to discuss all things Walking Dead for, probably, the event's most interesting hour.

Sunday (October 10, 2017)

The X-Files: 1-2pm EST/6-7pm BST (Main Stage 1-D)

The truth is out there, and 💟so is this panel discussing the upcoming second season of the X-Files revival. Mulder and Scully will both be there (let's face it, Gillian Anderson is worth the price of admission alone)⭕ to discuss the exclusive first-look at the new ten-episode run premiering in January.

Will there be other New York Comic Con guests?

The full list of guest attendees - and trust me, there are a lot of them - can be but bel🐻ow are the best of the🐬 bunch.

NYCC always features a who's who of stars from the silver screen and TV - and this year is no different. Mark Hamill will be at the convention across all four days; Peter Capaldi and Pearl Mackie are scheduled to make appearances on both Thursday and Friday, as is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: Rogue One's Felicity Jones on the Friday in the official autographin𒈔g area.

Finally, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Game of Thrones' Lena Headey was scheduled to be at the event but will no longer appear. Sob. Rul❀ing Westeros must be keeping her busy.
