Comic-Con International in San Diego, one of the world's largest pop culture gatherings, has been cancelled for the first time in its 50-year history due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The sprawling convention which draws Hollywood A-listers, billion-dollar franchises and 135,000 screaming fans each year had been due to take place in July. But it became the latest major festival to be scratched due to the global pandemic, after California Governor Gavin Newsom this week indicated mass gatherings were unlikely to be allowed for months to come.
