All four presentations will take place in Hall D23, a new 7500-seat venue within the center. However, they certainly won’t be the only big happenings from the weekend. Each D23 Expo is jam-packed with panels, screenings, announcements, celebrities, and surprises. Stay tuned for more information as it comes (because, as August inches closer, it will in heavy force).
