Con Man Panel, 3:45-5:15 pm, Hall H

From the article:

In a “Hang w/” chat earlier this evening for backers of the Indiegogo campaign, Haarsma mentioned the days and times for both panels:

Question: More about Comic-Con and Nerd HQ please?

Haarsma: Okay, panel is Thursday the 9th, I think it’s at 3:45. It’s right between Doctor Who and Marvel, and then we’ll be doing press in the morning, and then after hopefully there will be a party somewhere and we’ll announce it, and then Friday Alan’s going to be hosting Nerd HQ and we’ll be doing a Con Man panel at Nerd HQ and then partying there Friday night.

Although we think Haarsma probably has a firm grip on Con Man‘s SDCC schedule, the rest should be taken with a grain of salt.
Holding a panel “between Doctor Who and Marvel” (if accurate) could mean a number of things. Doctor Who has typically held Sunday Hall H panels, so moving it to a Thursday could mean a downgrade to Ballroom 20 - or it could mean Who is sticking in Hall H, and simply getting a new day. Given James Gunn’s comments that Marvel Studios is skipping the convention this year, we’re more inclined to believe a Ballroom 20 scenario, with the Marvel panel in question likely being some combination of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter. Con Man could also be in a smaller room, and the panels could be comics-related instead. And of course, there’s also room for Haarsma simply being misinformed about the panels surrounding Con Man at the convention center. There’s a lot of room for speculation here — but it’s interesting news none-the-less.

Also, with news of Tudyk hosting Nerd HQ on Friday - could Zachary Levi be busy across the street promoting Heroes Reborn that day?

Me too, but if it's really in B20, I may have to miss out... ;(

I think his "between Dr. Who and Marvel" was him being cheeky......trying to think of the two biggest panels at SDCC and saying they are between them.

I would be somewhat surprised if this panel was in B20 or HH honestly...do you think it could attract that big a crowd?

No. That's why I was thinking maybe 6BCF or Indigo...

I would be surprised if they were in a room that big. I was thinking more like 6DE.

Yeah, I think it's funny that SDCC Blog took that Marvel/Doctor Who bit seriously. Seems like this would definitely be in a "smaller" room.

I would think so too, but you never know. Often they do sandwich 'smaller' panels in between the 'bigger' ones in Hall H or Ballroom 20.

While Nathan Fillion is considered a draw, the last time he or Castle had a panel it was not in B20 or Hall H.  This is a web series and I don't see it given preference over some of the bigger network shows that are bound to be there.

You know IDW could just be having a panel for their Doctor Who comics. It seems more likely that a project like this might be sandwiched between comic book panels in one of the 6 rooms.

That certainly is a possibility: a comics panel, Con Man, and another comics panel.

I saw Alan Tudyk speak this weekend and he was very excited to announce they would be showing footage at the panel.

BBC America just announced that the Dr. Who panel would be in Hall H on Thursday.  That comment about Con Man being between Dr. Who and Marvel might NOT have been a joke after all.
