DuckTales characters zoom through a blue jeep attraction, racing after a golden statue as books and gems soar by, capturing all the high-energy thrills of a live adventure you’d experience at Disney’s theme parks.

San Diego Comic Con 2017 is almost here. The schedules for the first two days of the massive convention are now available, and it’s shaping up to be a very exciting event.

Yesterday, we shared a list of panels on the first day of San Diego Comic Con that we’re excited for. Today, with the release of the event’s Friday schedule, we have a whole new list to choose from.

Here are 5 panels we’re excited for on San Diego Comic Con’s Friday:

AMC’s The Walking Dead

Negan stands ominously with his bat Lucille in front of Rick and the other survivors, who kneel on the ground beneath blinding car headlights at night—a dramatic recreation of The Walking Dead’s infamous lineup scene, evoking fan-favorite moments often brought to life during special events like Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights or highlighted at SDCC 2017 panels.

We’re all infected. Not really, but most of us are hooked on “The Walking Dead.” This panel will include most of the cast, including Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Lauren Cohan and others, as well as show creators Scott M. Gimple, Robert Kirkman, Greg Nicotero and more.

The cast and crew will discuss filming the seventh season of the hit show, as well as provide a sneak peek at season eight, which is set to debut in October on AMC.

This panel will be held in Hall H at 12:15 P.M.

Game of Thrones Panel and Q&A Session

Game of Thrones logo displayed above the Iron Throne on a dramatic, shadowy backdrop, capturing the thrilling theatrical atmosphere you’d expect at a major theme park attraction or immersive fan event like those unveiled during San Diego Comic Con 2017.

Shortly after the premiere of the show’s seventh season, members of the cast of “Game of Thrones” will come together to discuss how their characters go to where they are, and perhaps where they might be going next.

Cast members on the panel include Sophie Turner, Gwendoline Christie, Alfie Allen, Jacob Anderson and more.

This panel will be held in Hall H at 1:30 P.M.

Disney XD’s DuckTales

DuckTales logo with “Coming 2017” and Disney XD displayed on a vibrant orange backdrop, capturing the thrill and sense of adventure that fans experience at D23 Expo, spotlighting Scrooge McDuck’s daring energy as revealed to Disney enthusiasts.

Disney’s animated classic series “DuckTales” is returning this summer to Disney XD. Stars of the new series, David Tennant, Ben Schwartz, Kate Micucci, Danny Pudi and Beck Bennet will join executive producer Matt Youngberg, co-producer Frank Angones and art director Sean Jimenez for this jam-packed panel.

The group will discuss what it is like to be part of a revival of an animated classic and share exclusive sneak peeks of the new series before it premieres August 12.

This panel will be held in room 6A at 3:30 P.M.

Star Wars Music and Sound

Five alien musicians with oversized heads perform lively tunes in a shadowy, smoke-filled lounge reminiscent of the immersive, themed experiences found at Universal Studios or Disneyland’s sci-fi attractions.

The Star Wars franchise features arguably the most recognizable music of any film. Now, the people who helped create the iconic score will come together to discuss their experiences and swap behind-the-scenes stories about the first time the classic music was heard.

This panel will be held in Room 7AB at 5:00 P.M.

Netflix: Marvel’s The Defenders

The Defenders

Defenders, assemble! Ok, it’s not quite the same, but a new team of superheroes is coming together on Netflix. Marvel’s Defenders is set to premiere August 18 on the streaming service, bringing together the heroes of Marvel’s previous Netflix shows.

Executive vice president of Marvel Television Jeph Loeb will be joined by “surprise guests” from the highly anticipated new series for this panel that promises a an exclusive look at the superhero team up.

Saturday and Sunday’s schedules for rest of the event will be released over the next couple of days.

San Diego Comic Con 2017 will run from Thursday, July 20 through Sunday, July 24. Be sure to check out the San Diego Comic Con website for the complete schedule.
