Collider has revealed the participants for its annual San Diego Comic-Con panel dedicated to filmmaking craft. The 2026 edition will feature Zach Cregger, a writer-director who gained prominence through original horror-comedy films including Barbarian and the critically acclaimed Weapons, alongside directing partners Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, known for ensemble comedies and fantasy adaptations such as Game Night and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

The event takes place Thursday, July 23rd in Hall H from 3:30 to 4:30 PM, moderated by Collider's Steve Weintraub.
