WonderCon 2015 Schedule: Warner Bros. And Blumhouse Highlight Movie-Light Lineup
The WonderCon 2015 schedule has been released. As expected, it filled with loads and loads of super cool stuff. Back to the Future, The Last Man on Earth, The Flash, Gotham, Batman vs. Robin, Superman, Big Hero 6, Powers, Orphan Black and more. But, in terms of major movie releases, it's definitely a light year.
Warner Bros. will have a panel, which you assume will focus on some of their pre-Comic-Con summer releases like Mad Max: Fury Road, San Andreas, Hot Pursuit and or Entourage. Maybe they'll even reshow that epic Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer from Comic-Con last year. Then Blumhouse will be in attendance, with Unfriended and Insidious Chapter 3. As good as both of those are, though, that's it.
Below, check out the highlights of the WonderCon 2015 schedule and check back April 3-5 for our coverage of the event.
