Each year I wish that I could be at San Diego Comic-Con. There are so many properties that I’d like to learn about and some cool exclusive items I wish I could buy. This year is no different. I would love to be able to drop in on the Voltron panel and other fun events around one of my favorite Netflix shows. I’d love to see the panel that is happening with executive producer Joaquim Dos Santos, co-executive producer Lauren Montgomery, Bex Taylor-Klaus (Pidge) and Tyler Labine (Hunk). I’d like to see the first episode of season 3 that will be shown at that panel, too.
Something really fun that is happening is that there will be Hunk’s Food Truck which will be serving Hunk’s Food Goo, which will most likely be some sort of Frozen Yogurt. You can see the full details below.
DREAMWORKS ANIMATION TELEVISION AND NETFLIX BRING VOLTRON LEGENDARY DEFENDER TO SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON
Premiere of DreamWorks Voltron Legendary Defender Season 3, Thursday, July 20, at 10:30am
Panel and Signing with Voice Cast, Food Truck and Voltron Cosplay Meetup Planned to Inspire Fans to Form Voltron!
GLENDALE, CA – June 30, 2017 – DreamWorks Animation Television and Netflix will present a jam-packed Voltron Legendary Defender panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2017, with series showrunners and voice talent debuting the premiere episode of the highly-anticipated third season of the critically-acclaimed Netflix original series.
Fans will be treated to a first look into the exciting third season of the pop culture phenomenon Voltron Legendary Defender. Join executive producer Joaquim Dos Santos, co-executive producer Lauren Montgomery, Bex Taylor-Klaus (voice of Pidge), and Tyler Labine (voice of Hunk) in 6BCF for a special screening and a sneak peek at what’s to come for Team Voltron. The panel will be moderated by Kyle Anderson, Associate Editor of Nerdist.
Following the panel, DreamWorks is calling all Voltron cosplayers to meet Joaquim, Lauren, Bex and Tyler at FANDOM Fest at 2:00 PM PST in the Petco Interactive Zone for a Voltron cosplay and fan meet up. Additional details to follow.
You can also beat the heat at the Petco Interactive Zone for a cool treat from the Voltron-themed food truck “Hunk’s Food Goo Replication Station” in Space M. Just like the Paladins of Voltron, fans can try every Altean’s favorite intergalactic snack: green food goo (or the earth-friendly version that tastes oddly similar to frozen yogurt). Served Thursday-Saturday from 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM and Sunday from 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM for free while supplies last.
On Friday morning, Joaquim, Lauren, Bex and Tyler will be signing an SDCC-exclusive poster created by the Voltron crew from 10:30 AM – Noon in the Sails Pavilion at the Convention Center. Tickets will be made available in advance in the Autograph Area.
A full list of Voltron activities is included below.
