Doctor Who will return to Comic-Con in San Diego in July.

Peter Capaldi (the Doctor), Jenna Coleman (Clara), Michelle Gomez (Missy), showrunner Steven Moffat and executive producer Brian Minchin have all been confirmed to appear in a panel in Hall H on Thursday 9 July.

The panel will be Capaldi’s first ever appearance at the event.

The actor commented: “Tales of San Diego Comic-Con are told in awe on every set around the known fantasy/sci-fi production world. It’s become a fabled kingdom. One I am thrilled to find myself heading for. And to appear in the legendary Hall H is a further twist to the cosplay and comic madness I may never recover from.”

Season 9 began filming in Cardiff in January and will air on BBC One this autumn.
