These are the must-see San Diego Comic-Con panels. While Wednesday is primarily lower-key previews, Thursday kicks things into gear with a look at the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons film and Apple TV Plus' Severance. Then there's the Masters of the Universe anniversary panel with Kevin Smith, who's back again later in the day for a discussion with William Shatner. Plus, there's Andy Serkis talking comics. 

Friday is another busy day, with panels including a look at The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, a Marvel Studios panel focused on the animated side of the MCU, and an appearance from Keanu Reeves. Saturday then features House of the Dragon and those all-important Warner Bros. and Marvel panels – expect big things, with Kevin Feige in attendance and Warner Bros. showing off Black Adam and Shazam 2. Sunday brings the event to an end with a panel all about What We Do in the Shadows. We've got the highlights below, but you can check out the full schedule through the link.
