Attendees of this year's Comic-Con@Home are going to want to have their Disney-brand mouse ears at the ready for when the studio presents virtual panels for three of the studio's upcoming original titles. When Disney arrives on the virtual scene of San Diego's annual Comic-Con event, their slate will include the animated movie PHINEAS AND FERB THE MOVIE: CANDACE AGAINST THE UNIVERSE, the anthology docuseries MARVEL'S 616, and the service’s first scripted series from National Geographic, THE RIGHT STUFF.

From Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way and Warner Horizon Scripted Television, “The Right Stuff” is the first scripted Disney+ original series from National Geographic. The series takes a clear-eyed look at the early days of the US space program. The series follows seven of the military's best pilots as they become astronauts for the newly-formed NASA at the height of the Cold War. Competing to be the first in space, these ordinary men achieve the extraordinary, inspiring America to turn towards a new horizon of ambition and hope. Moderated by former NASA Astronaut Dr. Mae Jemison, the panel will feature cast members Patrick J. Adams (“Major John Glenn”), Jake McDorman (“Lieutenant Commander Alan Shepard”), Colin O’Donoghue (“Captain Gordon Cooper”), Michael Trotter (“Gus Grissom”), Aaron Staton (“Wally Schirra”), Micah Stock (“Deke Slayton”), James Lafferty (“Scott Carpenter”), Nora Zehetner (“Annie Glenn”), Shannon Lucio (“Louise Shepard”), Eloise Mumford (“Trudy Cooper”), Eric Ladin (“Chris Kraft”), and Patrick Fischler (“Bob Gilruth”), Showrunner and Executive Producer Mark Lafferty, and Executive Producer Jennifer Davisson.

All this and more is coming to Comic-Con@Home on July 22-26, 2020. While I will certainly miss the in-person hustle and bustle of this year's show, the thought of not having to suffer the smells of the event is a small comfort indeed. That said, I'll miss seeing my friends and coworkers, as well as partaking in food from that sweet empanada cart. You know the one. Be that as it may, we'll be covering the show from the comfort of our respective homes, so be sure to come around once things kick into high gear.
