SAN DIEGO (AP) — Tens of thousands of fans — many in costumes — attended Comic-Con 2025, a four-day pop culture spectacle packed with celebrities and interactive attractions.

Comic-Con International, held annually at the San Diego Convention Center, brings together fans who celebrate their favorite comic books, movies, television and video games and learn about what's next for their heroes and villains.

This year's convention, which ran through Sunday and drew an estimated 135,000 attendees, included the first look at “Project Hail Mary,” the new Andy Weir novel adaptation starring Ryan Gosling, George Lucas’ first visit to Comic-Con, John Cena promoting “Peacemaker” Season 2 in character and updates on a new “Alien” series and “Predator film.”
