Today’s the big day, San Diego Comic-Con 2015 attendees! Better rise and shine quick and put yourself into lines now. Oh yes, lines began forming the day before Preview Night for Hall H. If your schedule isn’t already crammed with coveted panels for your favorite TV shows, find out if you can make one of the big movie presentations surely to bring out the stars and spoilers.
“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2” and “The Last Witch Hunter” -- 12–1:15 p.m., Hall H
Lionsgate will cram in a double whammy panel of its two largest fall releases. Conan O’Brien will preside over the first major Hall H exhibition with stars like Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson. Vin Diesel will be on hand to introduce his next proposed, non-“Fast and Furious” franchise, “The Last Witch Hunter.”
This new animated DC Comics movie is being touted as “not your daddy’s Justice League.” Spinning off from the latest “Superman” movie, a newer, darker Justice League will emerge with new voice talents from the likes of Michael C. Hall, Benjamin Bratt and Jason Isaacs and SDCC attendees will get the first look. If you’re shut out of the first showing, try your luck again for the encore at 9 p.m.
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” -- 5:30-6:30 p.m., Hall H
May the odds be ever in your favor trying to get into one of the most anticipated panels of SDCC 2015. So far, only Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy, director J.J. Abrams and writer Lawrence Kasdan have confirmed an appearance in Hall H. Yet unnamed special guests are scheduled to show, so needless to say get in line way early for this one.

Warner Bros. Presentation of “ Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice,” “Pan” and “The Man from U.N.C.L.E." -- 10:30 a.m. – 12 p.m., Hall H
Not to let “Star Wars 7” have all the fun, Warners Bros. is planning a packed panel featuring “Dawn of Justice” actors Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons Holly Hunter and Gal Gadot. Cavill will stick around with new co-star Armie Hammer to discuss their new caper “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” while Hugh Jackman and director Joe Wright will charm the Hall H crowd with a preview of their new film, “Pan.” According to E! Online, there may be a surprise in this panel for some “Suicide Squad” fans.
“Pride & Prejudice & Zombies” and “Patient Zero” -- 12:15-1:15 p.m., Hall H
Later in the day, Screen Gems will present their fall slate to eager SDCC fans. Expected guests for the joint panel include Lily James, Jack Huston, Matt Smith, Bella Heathcote, Natalie Dormer, screenwriter Mike Le and directors Burr Steers and Stefan Ruzowitzky.
“The Hateful Eight” -- 1:30-2:15 p.m., Hall H

“Crimson Peak,” “Krampus” and “Warcraft” -- 2:30 – 3:30 p.m., Hall H
Getting back to the wonderfully weird and creepy, Chris Hardwick will moderate Legendary’s upcoming fall slate of movie releases. No word yet if “Crimson Peak” SDCC veteran Tom Hiddleston will return for another raucous appearance, but the actor and director Guillermo del Toro will be on hand to present.
Sunday, July 12
LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes – “Justice League: Attack of the Legion of Doom” – 11:15 a.m. - 12:45 p.m., Room 6BCF
The LEGO versions of the Justice League will get to see some SDCC action during their afternoon panel. The preview screening will be followed by a panel and audience prizes.
The glaring lack of Marvel movie panels is felt in what looks to be the DC Comics Universe’s domination. Warner Bros. will debut yet another animated feature due this fall featuring Batman. The screening will be followed by panel with the voice talents and offer prizes to attending fans.
