DC FanDome has unveiled its robust schedule for its 24-hour confab on August 22 — and it has anything and everything you will want when it comes to DC universe fare.
As DC FanDome revealed last week, an all-star roster of talent will be joining the confab for key TV and film panels. Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Pedro Pascal and Kristen Wiig will be on hand for Wonder Woman 1984, while James Gunn will be answering questions about the forthcoming The Suicide Squad. We’ll also get to hear more about the upcoming Black Adam movie with Dwayne Johnson, Matt Reeves’ The Batman starring Robert Pattinson, as well as the stand-alone Flash movie starring Ezra Miller.
On the TV side, DC FanDome will give us panels for Lucifer, The Flash, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman, DC’s Stargirl and more. There is a high probability that audiences will be treated to clips, trailers, exclusive news, big announcements and surprise guests.
The programming contains more than 100 hours of unique content via six distinct virtual areas, with many of the film and TV panels taking place in Hall of Heroes and WatchVerse. The FanDome will also include areas to explore the latest news from WB Games, artists and comics via YouVerse, InsiderVerse, FunVerse and DC Kids FanDome.
