Trailers weren't the only news released about new movies and television series. Casts of upcoming Marvel movies were revealed and additions to casts of popular television shows were announced.

Along with movies, Comic Con is filled with panels and interviews with the stars of the many fandoms. These panels are where fans can ask the actors, writers, and producers any questions they want and they usually result in some pretty funny moments. Some shows announced their final seasons while others released trailers for the upcoming year.

Attendees often dress up, also known as cosplay, for the event, and the stars are also included. There are always a hand full of celebrities that will walk the floors of the convention completely in disguise.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there.
