Lanterns and Marvel Dominate SDCC 2026 Amid Surprises and Snags

SDCC 2026 crowned Lanterns and Marvel Studios as the big winners: Lanterns delivered a standout Hall H panel, trailer, and immersive offsite, while Marvel teased major reveals (a Ryan Gosling Ghost Rider, a new Black Panther, and a Deadpool tease) and kept the in-person energy high with notable reveals like Blade Runner 2099 and Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth anniversary push. Spaceballs: The New One, Mike Flanagan’s SDCC debut, and Apple TV’s Neuromancer tease also impressed, and San Diego reaffirmed it will host the convention through 2030. On the downside, Eisner leaks, counterfeit wristbands causing line chaos, DC Movies’ lackluster slate, the heat/odor crowd issue, and a baffling Johnny Depp cameo provided fodder for the losers column. Overall, chaotic but memorable for fans.

Del Toro Bans AI in Pan’s Labyrinth 3D Re-release, Handcrafted for the 20th Anniversary

Guillermo del Toro announced there will be absolutely no AI used in the Pan’s Labyrinth 20th-anniversary re-release, which is being 3D- and HDR-converted by hand rather than with AI; the filmmaker says he chose depth and quality, and a documentary about the making of the original film is teased. The re-release opens Oct. 9 (also available in 2D HDR, Cineverse, and Fathom 4K), with tickets going on sale Sept. 9. The film follows Ofelia’s journey in a postwar Spain and previously earned six Oscar nominations with three wins; Cannes celebrated a 4K restoration earlier this year.

Widow's Bay Becomes This TV Season's Must-Talked-About Horror-Comedy

The Apple TV+ series Widow's Bay, created by Katie Dippold, has emerged as a word-of-mouth phenomenon—a genre-blending mix of horror, mystery and workplace comedy set in a New England town. Led by Matthew Rhys, the show treats its jumpscares and character-driven moments as real, while Dippold’s long development process and a Massachusetts-location shoot helped craft its distinctive vibe. With praise from Guillermo del Toro, Ben Stiller, and The New York Times, Widow's Bay looks poised for a possible second season as it heads toward its finale.
