A Victorian Gothic facade, fake snow, and Johnny Depp as Ebenezer Scrooge: San Diego Comic-Con 2026 gets a Dickensian twist.
San Diego Comic-Con 2026 saw a surprising turn in the Gaslamp Quarter, as actor Johnny Depp appeared in character as Ebenezer Scrooge, promoting the upcoming film Ebenezer. The stunt featured a meticulously crafted Victorian Gothic facade and a blanket of fake snow, transporting attendees to a 19th-century London street.
The convention runs through July 27, 2026, with a massive schedule of panels and displays. Key highlights include highly anticipated presentations for Avengers: Doomsday and Lanterns.
Attendance is estimated at 200,000 people, making it one of the largest gatherings in Comic-Con history.
