Disney+, Marvel, Pixar, "Star Wars" & More: Join Bleeding Cool's D23 Expo 2019 Live-Blog! [SCHEDULE]
With The Walt Disney Company's D23 Expo 2019 officially running from August 23-25, Bleeding Cool has headed out to Anaheim, California, to bring you all of the breaking news and rumors. Our very own Editor-in-Chief Kaitlyn Booth will be reporting live from the three-day event – and you can join our live-blog as we cover all things Disney, a Spider-Man-less Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, and the world of amusement parks.
For those of you haven't become part of the "Mickey Continuum" yet and need a little background on what exactly a "D23" is, here what you need to know. Billed as the largest fan event in the world, D23 Expo 2019 is The Walt Disney Company's way of showing any other media company out there that they are not to be f***ed with – in the friendliest way possible.
To that end, over the course of three days attendees (and those not attending, depending on how much footage gets released) will find out what lies ahead on the path towards pop culture nirvana for Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars. We're talking across the entire company's landscape: film, television, theme parks, products, online, music, live entertainment, and more.
So here's a look at our live-blog schedule, with the site going live on our website (here) approximately five minutes before the panel begins. Join in on the conversation during our coverage with any question or thoughts you might have, and make sure to use hashtags #D23Expo and #BCD23.

Disney+ Showcase
3:30pm PT – 5pm PT / 6:30pm ET – 8pm ET
On the television side of things, the streaming service is expected to make a major statement during their showcase. Expect The Mandalorian, the Lady and the Tramp live-action remake, and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (which has a screening later in the day) as some of the expected topics – and then there's that rumored Ewan McGregor/Obi-Wan limited series as well as a possible surprise or two from the Marvel U.

Go Behind the Scenes with The Walt Disney Studios
10am PT – 12pm ET / 1pm ET – 3pm ET
Star Wars. Marvel. Pixar. Disney. Live-action. Animated.
Do we even need to bother considering the possibilities? Star Wars 9 "sizzle reel" footage hopefully looking like a given – and again, while most people default to "film" when Marvel Studios enters the room… we might see some surprises on the smaller-screen side of things.
