Disney is back with yet another edition of its now iconic D23 Expo. The convention that takes place every two years in Anaheim, California, is back yet again and promises to be packed with announcements, surprises, and more.
The conference, known as D23, has been going on for almost 20 years. From August 14-16, Disney will showcase a ton of new offerings it has planned for the future across companies like Disney Animation, Lucasfilm, Marvel, Pixar, 20th Century, and much more. If Disney owns it, you can expect to see it in some capacity at D23.
Things kick off with the Disney Entertainment Showcase tonight, which is set to include a litany of companies showing off new stuff. That’ll start at 7 p.m. PT/10 p.m. ET, and run for about two hours. SuperHeroHype will have all the updates on what Disney announces as it happens.
