San Diego – Fans of cult classic films will have a reason to celebrate as an exclusive screening of “The Toxic Avenger” is set to take place on Thursday, July 24, at 7:30 PM.

The San Diego Comic-Con 2025, taking place from July 24 to July 27, is expected to be quieter than in previous years, with neither Marvel Studios nor DC Studios hosting major panels this time around.

This year’s Comic-Con will also mark a significant first, as George Lucas is set to make his debut appearance to present the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. He will be joined by esteemed director Guillermo del Toro and visual designer Doug Chiang, promising an engaging and insightful session for attendees.
In addition to film screenings, Comic-Con will feature exclusive TV previews for anticipated series such as “Alien: Earth,” a new “Star Trek” series, and a refreshed animated version of “King of the Hill.” As part of the coverage, IGN will be offering live streaming from July 25 to July 26, allowing fans unable to attend in person to engage with the event remotely.
For those looking to unwind after a busy day at the convention, the “IGN After Party,” themed around ONE PIECE, is scheduled to take place at the Hard Rock Hotel, promising a lively atmosphere for fans and attendees alike. The convention emphasizes community engagement, which will include support through Patreon for those seeking patron-exclusive content.
The San Diego Comic-Con Unofficial Blog will also provide extensive coverage surrounding the event, although it is important to note that it is not formally affiliated with Comic-Con International.
As the excitement builds around the exclusive screening of “The Toxic Avenger,” fans are eagerly anticipating not only the event itself but also the lineup of attractions the Comic-Con weekend has to offer.
